Commissioner Edgar f. Clark of the
interstate commerce commission and
John H. Marble. now secretary of the
commission, have been named by Presiden
Wilson to the two commissionerships

The question of who will be the next
chairman of the commission TO succeed
Commissioner Lane is an involved one
which is bothering officials of the COM
mission. An informal understanding in
vogue in the commission has been to
elect a new chairman each year in ro-
tation Commissioner Lane was elected
chairman the first of the year.
Commissioner Clark stands next in line
after Commissioner Lane, and after Com
missioner Clark Games Commissioner Har-
Ian. Commissioner Clark's appointment
by President Taft having failed Of con-
firmation in the Senate, it is a question
whether after being appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson he will not go to the bottom
of the list and Commissioner Harlan be
made chairman.
There is no law, however. which makes
it mandatory on the commission to elect
the members in rotation, and therefore
Commissioner Clark may be made chair
man despite the miX-up over his appoint
ment. The holding up of his appoint
ment in the Senate was in cOnformance
with the general rule regarding Mr.. Taft s
nominations.

was today elected chairman of the re-
publican caucus and Senator Kenyon of
Iowa was chosen it's secretary. The re-

Committee on Committees.
Chairman Gallinger was authorized to
appofnt a committee of eleven as a COM
mittee on committees and that committee
will determine the republican committee
assignments. The task is not expected to
he q heavy ones, as the vacancies caused
bv the dropping out of republicans are
mostly to be left untitled because the re-
publican strength on committees will be
of the minority character.
The caucus did not discuss the party
attitude toward President Wilson's cabi-
net nominations. and several prominent
republicans predicted there would be no
reprisals for the fight which the demo-
Gratis made during the last session Of
Congress to prevent the confirmation Of
Mr.. Taft's nominations.

Rules For Statesmen

Here are some rules that will
help you succeed as a salesman:
Take as much interest in your
work as if you were the proprietor.
Acquire a thorough knowledge of
the goods you are selling.
Cultivate pleasing personality.
Pleased customers mean increased
sales. and increased sales mean sue
cessful statesmen.
Don't be content to simply fill
orders. Any one can be an order
taker, but it requires craftsmanship
to sell goods.
Constantly study your stock.
More sales are lost through lack of
knowledge concerning the goods
than from any other cause.
Experience is the best teacher a
retail salesman can have. and the
same is true OF any business.
perseverance and initiative is Ger
tain to succeed.
Learn to judge human nature.
That is the application of practical
psychology to business.
