A LOYAL LOVE

Reuben Waite was just about to
thrust his pitchfork into winnow of
hay when he espied a human foot.
Hey, wake up hereT he shouted
in his customary stentorian tones.
AS he spoke he tapped an extend
ing boot sole with the tines of the
fork. The foot drew in, the hay rose
up in a cascade and 1.-THE, well-fea-
tured young man was revealed. He
brushed dust and seed from hair and
clothing and rather shamefacedly
confronted the farmer.
Tramp, eh?" gruffly suggested
old Reuben.
81 look it, don't p" propounded
the stranger, with little bitter
laugh.
You do for fact. I say-where
did you get those togs?"
81 found them over on rubbish
heap back of the barn"
They were, in fact, an utterly dis
carded suit Reuben had thrown
away as unfit the day previous.
HIN! your own must have been
pretty bad to change for these" OBJ
served the farmer.
''They were for a fact" answered
the stranger, and his face grew stern
and cold. 'Tm Tom Lee. I'm a
tramp. Pm hungry, give me work"
"Well, need help" spoke Reuben,
after critical inspection of the ap-
pHcant You look likely, and if
you're honest as well, we may hitch
for harvest"
'I'u try to suit" said Tom Lee.
Those toys won't do, though,
declared Reuben, and they were, in
deed, tatters. Come into the barn
and I'll provide something better"
Within a few minutes Tom Lee

DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL

Important changes in leadership and

Senate of the United States organizes
for the Sixty-fifth Congress. The Sem

forty-two republicans, according to the

senators and forty republicans.
In the first place, the democrats will

whenever the Vice President is absent.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas. who held
that Office, died several weeks ago. 1t

A number of smaller establishments
were damaged. The fire originated on
the fourth floor of the Willis Smith
Grail warehouse and gained great head
way. 1t was not discovered until a
hot-air explosion blew out the front
windows of the fourth floor of the
building. The flames quickly jumped
across the narrow street, sweeping
both sides for a half block. At Z
o'clock the fire was announced under
control.

interesting question. In this House the
committee chairmen are elected by the
House, according to the rules. VI
course. the custom of electing the man
in line for the honor is followed. The
rules provide also that the member
ship of the committees is to be nileo
by election. What actually occurs Is
that both parties make up their COM
mittee lists informally. the democrats
caucus for it. and take what the ways
and means chairman offers The repuD.
licans adopted the more informal
course of comforting individually Win
their leader, Representative Mann OF
Illinois. He prepared a list of minority
members, acceptable to all concerned,
and the House went through the mo-
ton of filing the committee vacancies
by voting for the two lists thus pre-
pared.
Chairmanships to Republicans.
In nearly every case, of course, tho
committee chairmanships will go to
the republicans now holding the posi-
tions of ranking members on the COM
mittees, in case the republicans can
control the House. 1t is probable that
several chairmanships will be given up
for positions on the ways and means
committee.
There also will be considerable pa
tronage to be distributed by the repub-
licans. should they gain control. The
House elects clerk. chief clerk,
Sergeant-at-armS, a postmaster. a
doorkeeper and a chaplain. An infor-
NAL patronage committee then gets to
work and divides up whatever pie there
is in the way of salaries to clerks,
pages, doorkeepers, elevator men. etc.
The pie amounts to about 1.500 posi-
tions. but every member of the House
has enough applicants to swell the
number to $4,000 If all could be ap-
pointed.
Should the House be republican there
does not seem to be shadow of
doubt about the speakership. Repub-
lican members seem to be waiting to
give that honor to Jim" Mann, who
has been republican leader for four
years. Although there undoubtedly
will be rivals for the speakership, their
candidates. are expected to be per-
functory. if it exists at all. and will be
for home consumption only. Champ
Clark will be Speaker if the democrats
again control.
The question of floor leadership may
be something more than the question
of the craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee. Representative Ford
