The senator from Illinois has the repu-
tation Of being one of the best educated
men in the Senate.
MY theory of education was,'' he con-
tinued, that could develop more enthu-
siasm over my education by going to
original sources than by trying to
collect it from books. Thus, when I went
abroad I studied carefully and all the
time observed the nation which ! had
visited. II man can save little money
land you can live cheaply abroad If
you'll make up your mind to do it, he
can get a splendid addition to his educa-
ton by travelling from place to place

you see nearly as quickly as you forget
what you read"
Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon. a man
who has been in public life many years,
declared himself to be an unalterabie
advocate of the college-bred politician.
1.-The moral influence, for one thing, IS
most excellent" he declared, land brings
into public life men who tend to uph1t
the standards.
Let us consider. for moment. the
man who goes among the people WITHOUT
the proper educational equipment. II ne
is a man Of strong character he Will sur
vive the evil influences brought 10 pear
But If he is not he becomes hanger-
on and a menace to clean po!ltics. Inc
man who has gained his theories on gov
eminent from high-minded instructors In
colleges or universities goes forth with
q certain amount Of idealism. And this
idealism will never be utterly destroyed
unless the man himself is morally de-
fective.
1.-THE young man In college life comes
to know men while he is a student. The
old theory that the future politician must
get close to the people is good enough,
but the man who is to remedy the ills
which he finds voiced among the people
must know the machinery by which his
reforms are to be accomplished. gen.

governor of his state and a member of
Congress before he entered the upper
house, said:
I'm politics, as in any other profession
or business, an advantage is possessed
by the college man or woman.
"A college education. il it takes, trains
the young man or woman in habits OF
Independent investigation. Not alone the
fund Of knowledge that il acquired with
in the college walls. but also the inspira-
ton that is given for continued study
and observation afterward, is what
proves most valuable.
so il young men and women get out
OF a college course all there is in it they
will pass naturally from a study of text
books and theory to the greater study
of human affairs-a study much more
absorbing and of far greater interest
than any that engrossed them in their
college days.
I'm this greater study they will apply
keener perception, and because of their
superior equipment in the search for es-
sentials their sympathies will be quick
ened. While their minds are constantly
developing their hearts will beat true
and be in harmony with the great human
appeal.
"All of that is training, prepare ion
for political work. The person who goes
through such a course, l am convinced.
will have greater success than the one
lacking such advantages.
.'It is true that some of our wisest
statesmen and patriots had very few adj
yantages in the way of education. but
that is merely tribute to their indom-
liable character. They rose to command
ing heights In spite OF that handicap.
Their course would have been made
easier could they have enjoyed earlier
advantages"

said Senator Ashurst, were all educa-
tional. And I confidently state that they
were as helpful to me as q course In

don't want to be considered as advising
that the man who goes forth into prac-

ed by the score and columns filled in their
mere enumeration.
The administration had not as yet come
into power when the child element be-
gan to protrude itself. When 1t came to
be known that Joseph Tun,ulty was to
occupy the position Of assistant president
and all the world grew to realize that 1t
could not see his chief without first in
terviewing Joe. 1t began to ask what man
ner of man was this buffer between the
prospective chief executive and the peo-
pie. They were told that he was a young
Irishman with six children from Jersey
City. The idea Of the six children stuck,
created the impression of wholesomeness
and had not little to do with the popu-
larity that has come to the secretary
to the President.
1t was not appreciated that the Presi-
dent was laying down a policy when he
appointed as secretary a man who was
the father of many children. The admin
istratiOn has never formally announced
such policy, but results have proved its
existence. For, be it known, there is an
aggregate of thirty-seven children in the
cabinet and no outsiders need be called
in for any sort of party.
These cabinet families have been much
written and pictured and require but a
mention here. The prize aggregation in
this assemblage was that which gathered
about the table of the Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson. There have been thir-
teen children in the Wilson family, Of
whom eleven survive. Some of these are
men and women grown who have gone
forth upon careers of their own.
Secretary McAdoo is the widower Of the
cabinet and has the second largest family
OF that body. there being six children.
The older of these are now coming into
maturity and help their parent in man
aging the others. Secretary Daniels
adorns third place with four energetic
boys, whose ages run from ten to six

sentative filed five little Caseys in Boy
Scout uniforms, and still back of these
came three girl babies. The news Of the
arrival Of the Casey family permeated
into the inner Office and the word came
forth that they were to be given proceed
ence over all those who waited and over
whatever business the President had be-
fore him. The prize family Of the House
side of Congress was to be Immediately
admitted. So had a young and new
democratic member found the open sesame
at the White House.
So far as the writer is able to learn
there is no larger family in Congress than
that Of Representative Casey. There are
two or three families as large, but none
larger. Representative Finley of South
Carolina boasts q family Of eight, but
they are mostly grown up and no longer
in the children class. Representative
Johnson, likewise of South Carolina,
also has eight children. There are vari-
Gus families Of six and seven scattered
about among representatives. J. Hampton
Moore OF Philadelphia has a family of
Ave little girls that is among the hand
soonest in Congress. Representative J. ].
Fitzgerald, chairman Of the committee on
appropriations, hailing from Brooklyn. the
city of baby carriages, has a family Of
children that Is near the high-water mark,
numbering eight.
The two services of the government
where babies are scarcest are the army
and the navy. In either of these services
marriage is rather an inconvenient condi-
ton. The army officer is constantly being
ordered from one post to another, with
range from Alaska to Porto Rico and
from Maine to the Philippines. He can
depend upon a move every two or three
years. He has no permanent home. A
family is both an inconvenient and an ex-
pensive thing to transport at these inter-
vals The larger it is. the greater the
difficulty. Likewise is the salary of the
army officer a thing Of modest proper
tons, while his station in life causes him
