Statesmen Real

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. - Jimmy
Burke, or rather James Francis
Burke, member of congress from
Pittsburgh-until March 4-once per
formed peculiar favor for ex-COn-
gresham Brantley of Georgia that
Brantley never forgot. While here
on a visit recently Brantley made it
point to hunt up Burke and express
his appreciation.
one night some years ago in an all
night session of the house Brantley
made a speech that was much out of
the ordinary Ii was after midnight
and the comparatively few members
present were slouching in their seats
speak. When the speech was ovr,
Speaker Cannon remarked to Jimmy
Burke:
THAT is the best speech have ever
heard in this house"
Instantly Burke seized a piece of
paper, took a pencil from his pocket
and said to Cannon:
= wish you would put what you
have just said into writing"
why should 1 do that?" asked
Cannon.
because" said Burke. lit is no
idle praise for a man in your position
after nearly 40 years in the house to
say that a speech is the best you
ever heard. If Brantley had that in
writing il would be something for
him TO hand down his children.
am asking you 10 do this simply be-
cause if you ever made a remark like
that about a speech Of mine 1 would
certainly want TO know it,"
So, after a little more persuasion
on Burke's part. Cannon wrote on
the piece of paper:
Dear Mr.. Brantley-That speech
OF yours was the best 1 ever heard
J. @. c."
And Burke. his face lighted up with
the JOY of doing a kind act, carried
the paper over 10 Brantley.
There were tears in Branuey's eyes
as he took Rurke's hand and de-
clared:

And here, by the way. is a funny
thing about inventions and inventions:
The busy season at the patent office
is in the early spring. for the reason
that men invent things during the
long winter evenings and then pre-
pare to reap the result of their labor
when the winter is over. About 10
per cent of all inventions, so one
learns, are made by laymen without
mechanical training. Farmers are
about the most inveterate class OF
inventors. They try TO get out i'm
provements on farm machinery, new
kinds of horseshoes, harness buckles

URGES LABOR MEN TO UNITE.
schenectady's Socialist Mayor Sees
Bright Future for Party.

George r.. Lunn, Schenectady's So
c.alist Mayor. came to town yesterday
TO speak at the Washington Irving High
School, where Socialists and labor forces
met last night to celebrate his victory
in the recent election.
Il nave just read the words of my
friend and colleague. Mr.. Stcinmctz, VINO
was recently elected president OF the
Common Council OF Schenectady, regard
ing the concentration OF labor forves as
the greatest necessity for real progress
said Mayor Lunn.
The labor centre idea is a splendid
one. The bringing together OF speakers
representing different viewpoints Is
bound to reveal TO the various groups
the fact tina their fundamental interests
are one. They will. therefore. see the
necessity for unity of action regarding
their fundamental interests. When they
realize this they will discover that they
have Immediately available for use "A
power against which no combination OF
forces can prevail. To bring about this
result education Is the first necessity.
Mayor Lunn thinks the situation In
Schenectady Is typical. The time mas
come, he said. when Socialists can de-
feat the consolidated opposition Of other
political parties.

THANKSGIVING BIRDS
GOING TO COST MORE
Indications That Price of Tur-
keys Will BE Mt Least b
Cents Il Pound.

New Workers. who have invited their
relatives and friends to Thanksgiving
dinners this year will probably pas more
for their turkeys than they did last. II
the predictions Of the receivers, who go
as far of as Texas 10 supply New fork's
Thanksgiving table. come true the
turkeys will cost more than they have
cost in several years past. a cold, wet
summer has resulted In fewer turkeys
than usual,
Wholesalers who have been securing
the country for the right sort OF birds
report hat the supply is limited, with
a strong demand from many other cities.
Indications are that the retail price
will be at least 80 cents il warm
weather continues In the West there will
be complications In getting the birds
here which MAY mean even higher prices.
Texas is getting to be one Of the
most important turkey producing States
In the Union, AT some places there are
thousands of birds in one flock. Texas
turkeys are smaller than those pro-
duced in the Northern States, but this
year Texas turkeys promise to be OF
unusually good quality.
A large percentage of the frozen
turkeys put into storage last year were
produced in Texas. These will supple
ment the supplies OF fresh killed birds.
N of the reasons why high prices
are predicted for New York is that the
New England States will take larger
quantities of turkeys than they have
taken in several years. The business
depression in the New England States
seems to have given way to an UNI
paralleled activity. and that means
THANKSGIVING turkey in thousands OF
homes where there were none last year.
