Lodge For Chairman.

The Boston Transcript echoes the call of the
Manchester, IN. H. Union, that Henry Cabot
Lodge be the temporary chairman of the next Re-
publican National Convention. The idea is that
Mr. Lodge is as we'll fitted as any man in the
country, IT not the best fitted to sound the key
the objection to making him the temporary chair
man lies in the fact that he is the best man for
the permanent chairman. Nobody who attended
the convention of 1908 the "favorite SON. occasion
will question the statement that Mr. Lodge as
permanent chairman filled the/responsible position
ideally WELL And it was a mighty hard job too.
circumstances, but he had not the voice to fiji the
hall and hold the delegates that Mr.. Lodge had
and has. If Lodge is made temporary chairman
he should be continued in the chair through the
convention, which promises to need the best par
liamentary ability.-Hartford Courant

House. formulated every action de-
eided upon by the party leaders
The chairman of each committee, In
deed, enjoyed an initiative In respect
of the matters referred to his commit
tee which often escaped the control Of
the leaders when he chose to ignore
them.
II was In part because of this new
efficient, and thorough-going way OF
action, in Congress that Presidents and
their cabinets fell more and more into
the background in the origination Of
policy.
Mr.. Douglas had wished to be Presi-
dent: but was much more powerful in
his real place of leadership on the
floor OF the Senate.
Mr.. Pierce accepted what he plan
ned. He had his way with regard to
Kansas and Nebraska as he could have
had 1t In no other capacity than as
chairman OF the Committee on Terri
tories.
No man could have wished to Sc.
his success produce q more dramatic
effect. 1t was instantaneous
Kansas became at once a veritable
battle ground.
There was a fatal ambiguity in the
law. Did IL mean that the people could
make their choice with regard to slav-
cry now. while they were yet but citi-
Gems of a Territory, through their ter
ritorial legislatures. or must they
walt until they made their formal con-
stitutions as states and obtained ad-
mission into the Union?
Whatever its meaning, the matter
was evidently to be decided by num-
bers. by filling the inchoste state with
prevailing majority out OF the
South or with a prevailing majority
out OF the North-by the conquest OF
effectual occupation.
And so each section began to pour
its settlers in.
Nebraska was out of the question
II lay too far to the northward: 49,
one in the South looked to see slavery
make its way thither.
But men must go to Kansas, and go
at once. ready for any heat of conflict

but not one cent for tribute" the national sent-

pared to sit down with lead pencil and piece

cheaper to pay tribute than to maintain defensive

more important than righteousness and the real

"Then you attribute your health to that

Not at all. The change only of many
results from talk with myself my ffteth

important. But it mixed up with resolve
formed that day and resolve ! kept in my
mind since. don't believe day has
passed without my thinking Of it. 1t was simply
that l should enjoy myself to my full capacity"
Don't we all want to do that?" asked
1--WE think want to do it; but really
don't. If did we'd try harder and we should
avoid doing great many unnecessary things that
we imagine ought to do and that there's
sensible reason in the world why we should do.
AS matter of fact there are very few people who
take the trouble to consider how they shall enjoy
themselves They do this thing or that thing as
the opportunity comes along in haphazard way,
and many OF the things merely what other
people do, either from choice from habit. Most
of fall into tiresome ruts and haven't the
foresight the will to get out. | that a
great many Of the things l did matter of rou-
tine of real profit to to any
else, and there were many other things that
would be both profitable and enjoyable some of
them profitable merely because they were enjoy
able. Healthy enjoyment is, OF course, big asset
in life The more we have of it the better.

Though he is nearly sixty, he looks much younger
His frame is vigorous, his step is alert, his eyes
are bright, and the color of his skin girl might
envy. The lines in his face look as if they had
been made by years of merriment, as IL they were
records of humorous observation, of jokes enjoyed.
Unlike many of those people who try to look
young, he belongs frankly to his period, and he
makes his period stand for a time when life is at
its richest.
