CONGRESSMAN LIKE TO POSE
FOR THE MOVIES

More and more each day is that
important adjunct of national gov.
ernmental life, the statesman whose
Official duties bring him to Wash.
ington, figuring in motion picture
films to be shown around the cOun'
try.
In recent months the moving pic
ture producers h ave invaded Con,
gress to an extent that bids fair in
time to capture in the movies the
forms and visages of practically all
the noted solons of the Senate and
House, especially those whose names
become associated with popular pub
lie projects, both those of deep in
terest to some especial locality or
city, as well as those that are ma
tonal in scope.
And, forsooth, it must be said, the
solons like it, and when one of them
is invited by the movie man to dc
little "stunt" in connection with
some pet legislative project of his,
the rule is that he very promptly ac-
cepts the invitation, for he knows the
picture is quite likely eventually to
be exhibited in his district.
Apropos of this an amusing Incl
dent occurred recently on the east
front steps of the House end of the
capitol. Three Pennsylvania con-
gressmen, Donohue and Logue, of
Philadelphia, and Lee, of Pittsville,
have been making vigOrius fight
for 1,700-foot drydock for the
League Island Navy yard at Philadel-
phia, a project of vast interest in the
Keystone State.
A moving picture firm asked them
to do stunt of walking slowly
down the long, wide marble steps to-
ward the camera, discussing heated
ly the drydock proposition, an invi-
tation they accepted with alacrity.
They had a couple of rehearsals in
which dee was told to stop talking
with both hands, Donohoe to stop
his "grinning" and Logue ordered
peremptorily to quit trying to mo-
nopolize the "center of the stage"
BY some curious fau pas, the three
distinguished Pennsylyanians became
tangled up in a professional moving
picture scenario of a lurid drama of
national politics that was being TAX
en- on the great white steps at the
same time much 10 the dismay of
the professional actors participating
in the fiction picture. The actors
were almost jealous jealous of the
realistic acting of the statesmen as
they unconsciously walked. gesticu-
lating and talking excitedly toward
the camera reelng off the sensation
al drama.
It was some time before matters
could be Strengthened out, and even
then a goodly crowd of curious spec
tators we're certain that the Dono-
hoe-Lee-Logue act was part of the
professional film, although the
movies" stage manager insisted that
the representatives were only wanted
because Of their drydock fight.

POLITICAL NOTES FROM
NATIONS CAPITAL

When the administration begins
to press the ratification of the protec-
torate treaty many senator's believe
the whole subject of American Mica
raguan relations as they developed
when Philander C. Knox was secre-
tary of State will be Investigated.
There is a feeling that Mr.. Knox's
treatment of the Zelayan government
was not altogether warranted and
that the execution of the Americans,
Cannon and Grace, while constitut-
ing harsh treatment, was not alto
gether underserved considering the
kind of warfare that they carried on.

1t has been suggested in the National

fight good, for there are good many progressive Democrats In the senate who think that seniority ought to count and that 1t would do no harm to make some of the senior conserva- tives chairmen of committees, provid- ing the rest of the committee member ship Is finely progressive"
 The extent of the trouble which the Democrats may have in caucus, there fore, probably will hinge upon the ex- tremes to which they attempt to go If they conflne their efforts to secur- ing a pledge of united action on all of MT. Wilson's known endeavors ex- cept the tariff they will have accom- plished good deal. Of course the caucus will not take up each policy and vote upon 1t, but there will be an attempt made to get some kind of a general expression of support for all proper Democratic endeavor. If they stop at this and do not rouse individ- ual animosities by trying to take se- niority rights from some of the elders, they probably will get through with out very much trouble, otherwise there may be an alignment of oppos- ing forces from the very first, and this is the very thing which Mir. Wilson wants to avoid,
 It seems altogether likely that with the huge Democratic majority in the next house, there will be put through any~legislation bearing the progress sive stamp which MT Wilson desires shall go through There is no belief that the conservative Democrats in the house will attempt to block any such legislation. They know that the senate, whose members are not so di- rectly connected with the people and their votes, can perhaps be depended upon to check any legislation which seems to the house conservatives to be too radical" The whole situation seems, therefore, to hang upon tbe RenaIe.

 The ambassadorial positions which MT. Wilson must fill can go only to rich men, and it is said he is exceed ingly sorry that such is the case. for he knows number of men already in the service who he would like to pro. mote, but promotion for them is said to be impossible because they have not the means to support the office and the dignity" of the ambassador rank.
 The members of consular service will probably not be disturbed for they are governed by the spirit of civil service, although not directly by a civ. Il service law.

 Why These Places Are Desirable.
 The assistant secretaryships are much sought for, especially in the treasury department, for they are con- sidered stepping stones to fine busi. ness positions in private life after change of administration has retired an incumbent from office. Charles n Norton, who was an assistant secre. tary of the treasury and later Mir Tafts private secretary now has a high salaried position in New York city, and the same general prosper ity in business life has met nearly all the former assistant secretaries of the treasury. The training which they get in the department. directing as they do customs matters, revenue matters and public building matters, is considered admiral preparation for executive position in big business con- cerns,
 | The men who get the positions of assistant secretaries in the treasury department will be considered ex- tremely lucky, but only less lucky will be those who enter on similar positions in the department of com merce and labor and of the interior. and of the postoffice department where assistant secretaries are known as assistant postmasters- general. | These assistant secretaryships. as far as Washington is concerned. are looked upon as the prime prizes. out side. of course, of the places which pay bigger salaries and which almost always go to men who have made a name in politics and also in the gen eral world of accomplishments. The attorney-general will have to appoint any number of assistants, one being named to the place of chief assistant It is said to be hard task for the attorney general to pick his material for the prosecuting offices.
 Attorney Generals Task.
 l The attorney-general has to enter suits against great corporations which violate the interstate commerce law, and of course he has other suits of va rious natures. The great corporations are rich and they employ the best legal talent which money can secure to defend them in court. An untrain- ed assistant to the attorney-general has hard time of 1t when he goes up against lawyers who know business from A to z. and know all the tech nicalities which ever have been de- pended upon to win any kind of a case in any kind of court The president

of Finland. There are over so pro
fessors, and the attendance last year
was 5000, one-fourth of the number
being women. The instruction is
given partly In Swedish, partly in
Finish, and many professors use the
two languages alternately. The stu,
dents are generally bright and exceed
ingly studious. One-half of them are
without means, and cannot expect to
get any aid from home; this con
dition compels them to work hard the
year round. Many of them spend the
vacation making lecture tours through
the country. A society composed OF
wellto-do students has established
three large common schools at theiI
own expense in the eastern part Of
the country, where the Finnish nation

large Finnish cyclopedia has Just been
