Delegate wickersham starts many things in Con- gress He finishes few Of them But nHished problem would not moke campaign issue.
 The Delegate is much like the old doctor who raised a boy whom he sent through college and then made into doctor. When the old doctor had installed the son that he had educeted at great ex pcnse in his office and introduced him to his pa tients. he decided to take 9 long needed rest and greatly longed.for trip around the world Among the patients he introduced to his was the town millionaire whom he had been treating regularly Tor more than twenty years for various ailments. He preed his son to take good care Of the town million aire and not to cross him or lose his friendship He departed contented. for he left good Income bebind for the son. In due course he returned from his trip to find his son looking shabby and in appar ent straghtened circumstances. Immediately he asked as 70 the condition of the business. Its all rlsh1 said the son. except there is not much practice nere This community is too blamed healthy. md we have hardly any patients left" The alarmed father asked ,.v,bv what did you do to the town millionaire? ., cured him" said the son. and other habitual pa ,isnts also had been cured You have made pretty mess of it all" said the father and shown less ,r,+i,pde than l had expected. I have given you an excellent education clothed you we'll ane saved enough to take longed for trip around the world from the fees that l have collected regularly rom the 'o"" millionaire and the other patients here' and am returning to starvation simply because you nave s~oIled tbs field as habitation for physician
 Delegate Wickersham has no intention ot sponns his field. He is not seeking remedies he Is us covering new ailments.
