The CITY Watches


TIVE eyes of the city are on Finance Com
4 mittee of Councils. The ordinances which
will give metropolitan transit facilities to
Philadelphia and stimulate prosperity as 1t
cannot otherwise be stimulated are in it's
hands. It and II only can obstruct and hold
up the great enterprise in favor OF which
the people are practically unanimous. And
It cannot obstruct without exposing itself to
suspicion, for there can be no reason for de-
lay ether than the insidlous influence of spe-
cial interests determined to rob Philadelphia
of her future.
The Finance Committee is expected to make
g, report, a favorable report, tomorrow. Men
expert in the intricacies of municipal poll
tics openly aver, nevertheless, that there will
be no report. The bills are safe in commit
tee, they mockingly declare, so let them stay
there. Yet Philadelphia, on more than one
occasion, when about to be deprived by po-
litical machinatlon of things on which she
had set her heart. has taken puny Councils
in her teeth and shaken ii as a terrier would
a rat. So far and no further can she be
thwarted.
To be for a March election is to be for
transit; not to be for a March election Is to
be against transit. That is the test by which
Finance Committee and Councils as a whole
shall be judged. The city is watching and
1t will not be fooled.

CAMPAIGNS IN FRENCH
FOR SEAT In CONGRESS
Bob Brousssrd, of Louisiana, One of
435 Representatives of 435 Types of
Observation-Disclosures is Making
a"Book" on Presidential Possibilities.
Nv EDwARD W. TOwNsEND

A COUPLE Of years ago or 30 the French
AChamber of Deputies adopted a resolu-
ton of appreciation for something our Con-
gress had done, and a copy of the resolution
was forwarded to Speaker Clark.
One morning, after the chaplain had
prayed for us, the Speaker called to the desk
Mr.. Pujo. then a member from Louisiana
and asked him to read the paper to the
House. MIR. Pujo promptly read the paper In
French and then read Il into English, to the
evident surprise Of many WHIT heard him. 1t
is occasion for greater surprise casually to
come Upon a group OF Louisiana members.
say, Estopinal, Dupre, Broussard and La
zaro, and find that in their intimate friendly
chat all are speaking French. None, in adj
dressing the House, speaks with a trace OF
French accent, except that Broussard, II
very earnest in a speech, will pronounce the
ending "tion" 'oion," as administration"
Bob Broussard goes to the Senate next
March after having served in the House 16
years. He was elected to the House eight
times without opposition for this reason:
His district has several parishes In which
French is the language Of ordinary inter
course and English is understood very little,
such parishes as Assumption, Lafayette, La
fourche, Terribonne. The French creole pop
ulatlon adores cousin Bob" Broussard and
is indisposed to vote for any one else for
any office. They think it safest not to take
a chance.

disqualified, although technically he held the
floor for IS consecutive hours. There were
several flaws or, so to say, violations OF the
rules in his performance. He would send up
a bunch OF printed matter to be read at the
clerks desk, thus gaining leisure in which
to rest his voice.
How the game should be played was shown
by Senator Smoot. He was a Jerry Travers
on the senatorial link. During his entire IL
hours, minus % minutes, he asked no help
from the clerks, arranged for no restful in
terruptlon, never left his place in front Of
his seat.
Odds on Leader Mann
1t may surprise some of the folks back
home to learn that in the winter books being
made down here on the Republican Presl-
Dental nomination the odds still favor James
H. Mann. There is something oddly persist
ent in the way the wise people hold the mi
nority leader f%avorite. But with the same
certainty of conviction with which they de-
clare that Wilson's name will be the only
one heard in the Democratic convention of
1916 they keep the betting odds favorable to
Mann. The latter will have none of it. I
mean that for publications. least, he says
there's nothing in it-an bunk. He said
something like that to me the other day, and
1 asked WHY"
WELL" he replied after a smiling pause,
"ln my work on the floor here as minority
leader l play no favorites. I'm accused by
members of my own party of rocking the
boat, of splitting the beans. I'm not in a good
position to play for popularity" Then he
dropped his jollying mood and said seri-
.ously: There is nothing in the work of a
minority floor leader that is spectacular; that
appeals to public imagination. It's just con-
slant, hard grind with no grandeur. A MI
nority leaders name is not associated with
any big legislation. He has not time to
make after-dinner speeches, public addresses.
I don't expect the nomination, am not look
ing for It,"
Um-m. All the same. James r. is putting
some forceful campaign material, as Repub-
leans view it, into the record. He will have
the committee assignments for the big Re-
publican minority to hand out after the 4th
Of March next, and his home State has q
powerful lot of electoral votes to go down
on the tally sheet of 1915. These chaps who
make up the winter books do some mighty
close hgr"ing. They are not in business for
fun, and 1t is seldom noted that they chase
rainbows.

Always for "Cousin Bob"

There Is a story of a spellblnder who spoke
no French going into Broussard's district
campaigning for n Democratic nominee for
Governor. He felt he was making no head
way, so sought a straight tip from an indi-
vidual he picked in his audience as seeming
to have some intelligence. The creole lis
tened politely to the song of praise for the
Governorship candidate and gave answer,
mo l vote for Cousin Bob"
But exclaimed the spellbinder, cousin
Bob is not running for Governor. He's a
Congressman
The creole took this as pleasant, even II
irrelevant, news, but responded, well, me
boy, to max sure always vote for Cousin
Bob, ANYWAY; might max mistak' II not"
General Estopinal, of Louisiana is now
the only man In the House who held a gen.
erals commission in the Confederate army,
and, like General Sherwood, of Ohio, the
only Union soldier who held a like commits
sion. is almost a phenomenon physically. His
abundant black hair, his military mustache
show merely a suggestion OF the frost of
years, and his walk-well, you'd have to go

No Autos for General Sherwood

But, then. General Estopinal Is only 70,
while General Sherwoo Is so years old. The
Ohio veteran preserves his military carriage,
but he does not walk much, devoting most
of his leisure to driving. None of your gas
oline contraptions for that Ohio youngster,
who was in AZ battles. who was made brevet
brigadier general by President Lincoln for
long and faithful service and conspicuous
%gallantry at the battles of Resaca, Atlanta,
Franklin and Nashville" No limousine lux
ury for him! He brings TO Washington with
him a stable of hlgh-bred, fast roadsters, the
envy and delight OF all Washington horse
men. The Generals pleasure is to hook up
two spirited roadsters to a rig that is little
more than a racing sulky and take a 2O-mile
spin over the hills of Virginia or Maryland.
Thus refreshed he is keyed up for a days
hard work in his committee room.
Thus you may go from Louisiana in the
cloak room TO Ohio in the corridor and have
the conviction come to you that in the south
end OF the Capitol you encounter 435 men ex-
presstve each in his personality OF the ideal
of good citizenship and characteristic Amer
icanism determined by 4S5 groups of Amer
leans, averaging 211,oOo population to the
group.

what Make. tho House Interesting

That is what makes the membership OF the
House intensely interesting to one who cares
for the study OF types, You may approve
or disapprove of individuals, but their study
Is none the less interesting or instructive.
In some OF his charac teristics. his intellec-
tual qualities, each reflects a big bunch OF
American peoplei jewellers on the coast OF
Maine. maybe, or OF the Bald Knob Noun
tains of Missouri, or some sun-kissed, vine
clad valley in California. None gets here
by drawing lots, by having an election
wished on him or. except very seldom, by a
nuke. He gets here because at election time
he eharaeterizes those qualities most es-
teemed by a majority of the voters OF his
district.
In a few years the Senators will thus rep
resent State ideals. when the operation OF
the direct election amendment to the Con-
s~titution shall have filled all the seats In the
north chamber OF the Capitol II is yet very
different. Senators represent the selection
by State legislators. Whether the change
will result in Improvement or otherwise is
oh yes, indeed-quite another matter.

The body of Alex Sicotte, who was lost in a blizzard last March, was found on the 18th inst by Dick Escholt, after laying in the snow about two months. The body was found on the right limit of the river near the mouth of Iowa creek. It was laying in snow bank in the attitude a man would as sume on turning in for a sleep, the arms under the head for d pillow, proving conclusively that having be- come exhausted from his wanderings and realizing that he was lost he calm ly lay down for his last sleep. On be- ing informed by phone of the discov- cry, Frank Knapp immediately hitched up his team and went up river. not withstanding the bad travelling and brought the body to town. The funeral took place on the 20th. Rev. Dr. Re-
