Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, Dec. p. When
Rep. G. b. Smith of Buffalo ran for
congress the first time he was editor
of a Buffalo paper and also CORE
spOndent for a New York paper. This
New York paper in making up it's
tables on election night found that the
Buffalo report was late coming in and
wired its correspondent there: who
is elected to congress in your dis
trict?"
To which smith wired back briefly
enough:
Il am"
Rep Alfalfa Bill Murray of Okla
home. is the cut-up of each committee
that he serves on. He reserves the
right to talk whenever he is so in
Clined. and if he grows weary of sit
ting and listening to the talk of others,
he gets up and walks about the COM
mittee room. If he feels like slap
ping some dignifed member of the
committee on the back as he strolls
about, he does so.
For some reason Alfalfa Bill is par
Jicularly obstreperous at sessions of
the committee on pensions And the
member of that committee that he
shocks most frequently is Rep. Chris
TOPPER G. Harris of Alabama, who
came to congress last May to fill out
an uneXpired term, and will retire on
March 4. His less than a year in the
house of representatives would b. a
pleasant experience for him provided
he gets through il without killing Bill
Murray of oklahoma
Mr.. Harris is more than 20 years
old and was an officer i'm the Confed-
crate army He looks the part Of "a
typical southern colonel and carries a
certain amount of dignity. This dig
nifty is heightened by contrast when
he sits in committee meetings along
side of Bill Murray who is only wee
trifle more dignified than the average
iOx terrier puppy. Murray, when he
isn't doing something undignifed. is
telling Col Harris something shock
ing. The colonel looks at him out Of
The tail of his eye, as he might look at
some weird animal in the zoo.
The other day Murray shocked his
committee mates worse than he has
any lime yet Col. Harris has a little
pointed beard. Murray absent-ruind-
-dly reached over and tOyed with it,
You have TO see the colonel TO ap-
preciate how long anybody but Muir
nay would hesitate before amusing
himself with the coloners beard
Some day Murray Will playfully
start stroking the coloneTs beard
again. and then the colonel vii pleas
