The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1914-02-26
EXPECTED TO BErOAE FLOOR LEADER
Claude k,tchln Regarded as LOGICAL
Successor to Underwood.

Claude Kitchin, of Scotland Neck.
N. c., is man people will hear a
good deal about in the next few
years if he..becomes chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
H ouse of Representatives. that
seems fairly we'll assured.
Chairman Underwood announced
months ago that if not elected Sena-
ter from Alabama he would retire
from public life. When Underwood
leaves the House Kitchin is slated to
succeed him as majority leader. A.
Mitchell Palmer, Of PENNSYLVANIA,
was his most formidable opponent,
and now that Palmer has declined to
be candidate, Kitchin seems to
have clear field.
The chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee is more than the
leader of the minority, "the floor
leader Of the House." Under the
new rules he has become, in fact,
more powerful than the Speaker
himself. Perhaps the present con-
dition Is due in some degree to Mr.
Underwood's compelling personali-
tv, but whoever occupies the Ways
and Means craftsmanship not only
wields great influence, but is proba-
bly, the strongest man in Congress.
1t follows that the personality of the
man who is to occupy the position is
Of interest to the entire country.
YOUNG AND A BORN FIGHTER.
MIR. Kitchin is born fighter and
revels in debate. Like Underwood,
he has specialized on the tariff, and
it was his strikingly able speech in
the final debate on the Payne Aid
rich tariff bill that brought him inte
the public eye as one of the most
promising young members Of the
House-for he is still young. only As

That district is in the eastern Sec
ton, which produces the shrewdest
politicians in North Carolina, where

for politics, as they have on tbs

PAPER ITSELF WAS EVIDENCE
Pledge That Student Had Done
the Work Itself.

AT certain college custom ordains
that at examination time each of the
candidates shall write the following
pledge at the bottom of his papers:
Il hereby declare, on my honor, that
I have neither given nor received as
sistance during the examination"
One student, after handing in one
of the papers, suddenly remembered
that in his haste he had omitted to
write the oath. On the following day
he sought out one Of the examiners
and told him that he had forgotten
to put the required pledge on his pa
per.
The examiner looked at him over
the top of his glasses and dryly re-
marked:
"Quite unnecessary. Your paper in
itself is sufficient evidence. I've just
been correcting it,"

Berlin Plans New Invasion.

More than 100000 Russians were
taken prisoners when LODI was cap

unofficial reports received in Berlin.
Warsaw is now the goal of the Ger

downfall of LODI. This is made clear
in an official review Of the military
situation issued in Berlin. It says
concerning Warsaw:
'If the investment Of Warsaw
should result from the present oper
ations it would rob the Russians OF
their most important railway commu
nications and put them in a serious
position"
The operations in Poland, which
have developed into the bloodiest bat

declared to be approaching a definite
climax.
