STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON. May s.-James
McAndrews is Chicago congress

four inches high. and looks as IL he
might have a chest expansion OF at
least a foot. IL I should ever be
elected king Of this country my first
official act would be 20 appoint Nc

Nobody that I can think Of would
so completely look the part. More

by letting people look at him. Not
even Jess willard would think Of
saying a single disrespectful word TO
McAndrews. If he had lived in the
time Of Samson, Goliath. or some OF
those professional huskies. none OF
them would ever have been heard
Of outside his own immediate neigh
borhood
HOwever-and we are coming
gradually now to what we really set
out TO tell-McAndrews Is not a
man entirely fearless. There is one
thing that scares him half 10 death,
and that is being high up in the air.
He can look over the edge of a
precipice and get such a scare that
he will shiver when he THINKS of il
years later.

Last summer McAndrews and a
number of other congressman made
a trip to the Roosevelt dam which is
reached by muleback along a mar
row trail from which one can look
straight down into an almost indefi-
mite stretch Of nothing but space
and atmosphere. McAndrews said
nothing about how Mortified he had
been until time for the party to be-
gin the return journey. Then he
quietly but firmly issued this ulti-
matum:
I'm not going over that rail
again
Not going over it?" repeated the
others in concert. Why it's the
only way there is TO get backT'
Very we'll" replied McAndrews
impassively. Then I'll stay here"
"Oh Jim, now don't talk non
sense" began one of his friends
Listen to reason. You don't want
TO spend the rest Of your life here al
this dam do you?'
Certainly not" admitted Mean
drews. Il don't want to live here q
minute. I hate the place. But I'm
not going back over that trail"
And he said it in a determined man
ner that carried conviction.
But if you don't go back over the
trail you"l have to stay here"
Then I'm in for it, Right here
I'll stay
His friends took another tack and
began TO chide and upbraid him
calling him a coward, a fraid cat
and pretty much everything mean
that they could think of. But il
availed nothing. McAndrews had
his mind all made up. He was pos.
i-tive-ly not going back over that
trail.
After a long parley and a search
for couple Of old guides, it was
discovered that there was another
trail which was little used. and was
longer and more perilous if any
thing than the trail McAndrews had
covered.
McAndrews was willing to take
the chance.
1T can't be any worse" he said
Anyway. I'm not going back over
that same trail.
And another thing" he added
IF / ever get back to Chicago alive,
I'm never again going 10 even look
out of a high window I'VE got
enough looking from dizzy heights
