European diplomats and secret agents and as one of the most important strategic centers in the Near East. forms the subject of a bulletin issued by the National GeOrgra phic society, which sketches the great political and economic advantage of the ancient capital of hte Mohammedan world.

The Handicap of Congress
(Springtield Republican.)

(Springheld Republlcan.)
 Congress is perhaps never desti- ute of statesmen of ability, wide knowledge and good sense. Not i'm probably it has sometimes happened that several men in it surpassed in these qualities the president of that day. Always it is true that the presi- dent in a difficult situation can profit by the wisdom of senators and repre- sentatives.
 But the handicap of Congress when it undertakes interference with for eign affairs is that it is composed of many types of men, some of whom lack these qualities, though in the ordinary affairs of legislation they may be able to play their part credit a ably. Congressman are not elected for their knowledge of foreign affairs. diplomacy or international law. If they possess or acquire such knowI- edge so much the better, but it is not required of them.
 Moreover, on thcsc and kindred subjects there are usually to be found congressman entertaining extreme and impra cticable views of various sorts. Ordinarily this does little harm. and tnc1f IefeS1eS alter d free airing are finally smothered by the average opinion. But uphappily in a time of international crisis such men may do harm out of proportion to their num- bcrs. Frequently the most outspoken are not the Uisest but the most cock s,1re-those who make up their minds on particular point without wait ing to sec clearly all the conseulences
 3,, cign affairs of the country at a time like this. broader outlook and q bet ter balance is needed. As to the wis dom of President Wilson's course and as to it's chances of success there is a wide divergence of opinion based on as widely divergent reasons But it is agreed that few presidents have had so thorough a training as Wood row Wilson for graphing with the highly complicated situation in which the United States is placed A stu dent of history and of government. with a solid background of fact and precedent well vcrscd in the history of the United States. he is well quail fled to see the problem as a whole. and the moro the problem as a whole is studied the better impression his policy is likely to make.
 What his more nervous critics in Congress appear not to appreciate is the difficulty of touching one point in a symmetrical policy without damag ing the whole. Tn tho days of magic when evil spirits swarmod. the wise magician used to keep them at bay with mystic ceOmetrical figure drawn on the floor. Outside they might howl and gibber. but within there was safety provided the magic figure was kept unbrOken.

WHO DO YOU THINK THIS IS?

He was born on farm two miles west of Spring Hill Maury County, Tenn, on Friday. March IS, in a storm; had but little schooling, be-
 cause of his aversion to teachers, and, as a pupil, never saw the inside of a schooroom after he was fourteen years of age; went to Texas in the fall
 of 1878 and became a cowboy, going
 up the trail in the early part of 1S79:
 spent four years in the mountains of
 Colorado and New Mexico, working
 part of the time as a miner, sometimes
 as a printer and newspaper reporter, and occasionally prospecting for gold
 and silver. but without making
 "strike"; returned to Texas, at E,l
 Paso in the spring of 1883, and went from there to Chihuahua and Parral.
 Mexico. spending several months en-
 gagged in mining and doing special newspaper work for eastern news
 papers; returned from Mexico in De-
 cember 1883, and has been ,esi-
 dent of Texas ever since.
 After reading the aforeSolng de-
 scription of varied career would you,
 without knowing to whom it belongs, ! be willing to place a heavy wager that the man who was born in storm cn Friday. the thirteenth, who had but little schooling, and who worked as
 newspa per reporter in Western towns ] and Mexican mining camps, Is now one of the greatest internati tional 1 lawyers and polished diplomats in the ! nation? Would you be willing to say i he knew more of economies and his tory and literature and all the kindred studies than Woodrow Wilson. whose fame was first made as historian and : college professor? Well. you prob ably would not make the bet until you found out who it is that possesses this i wonderful career. But then when 1 someone whispered to you that his
 name is Jeff McLemore, who is 1 serving his first term in the House of i Representative and who introduced : the resolution over which all the 1 trouble in Washington Vas started, : you would change your mind. You
 would know then that this wonderful man of many and varied experiences knows more than the President of
 the United States even more than the ; men who drafted the Constitution of , the United States. because he would ! override that staid old document and
 take our foreign relations out of the
 hands of the State Department and

Friend Bryan Again.

We suppose that if MT. Bryan goes 10 the national democratic convention determined to vote for the renomina- = ton of MT. Wilson, he will have other purposes also. Having helped make tle president once moro the candi- date of the party, his next and el eater task will be the adoption of 6 platform repudiating the adninis- tration
 It is by tactics of this kind that the peerless leader GOd-blesses his friends who win nominations an c,cctions to which he thinks he is en- titled. Although MT. Bryan is as much at variance with MT. Wilson as " heodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root or Dr. Dernburg, it pleases him to cover the pretended object of his affections with rich, warm treacle the better to

 There is scarcely a community of more than 1000 inha abitants in the United States which has not a motion picture house.
