Now as to the rotation" in Office.
There are ninety members in the

from 10 to A years; 10 for p years;
z for 20 years; 8 for Is years; Ia for
16 years; 20 for Id years; IS for IL

In the upper House of Congress
81 senators out of SO have served
from 10 to % years and many of
these had service in the House be-
fore entering the Senate. The men
who do not remain any length of
time in congress are those who fail
to make good, don't remain at their
post of duty, absent themselves with
their families, who kill time loafing
at home when congress is in session
and thus overlook and neglect the in
terests of their constituents, who are
absent, watching and building up po-
litical machines at home at the ex-
pense Of the peoples interest in Con-

A THOROUGH AND COMPLETE
VINDICATION,

In addition to many statements in
my opponents circulars and cards
there recently appeared an article
seeking to question my honesty. and
integrity in connection with the work
of the Republican National Congress
sional Committee and the payment of
commissions to Messrs. John W. Con-
ner and w. N. Hudiburg.
When these charges first appeared
over year ago, in a newspaper, l
demanded an immediate investiga-
ton. Congressman Graham of
Pennsylvania, Esch of Wisconsin,
Fess of Ohio, Stevenson of Mime
sofa and Tilson of Connecticut, five
able, impartial and distinguished
members of the House, made thor
ough investigation of these sensation
al charges, and unanimously report
ed:
"Your committee finds that MIR.
Austin's connection with the whole
matter under investigation has been
an entirely honorable and justi6able
one, and that there is nothing in the
history of these transactions, when
sifted and examined carefully, to re-
fleet in the slightest degree upon his
personal honor or his management of
the affairs of the Financial Commit
tie of which he was chairman under
the present Congressional Commit
tee."
This investigating committee re-
ported that had carried out in
good faith a contract made with
Messrs. Conner and Hudiburg prior
to my election as chairman of the fl
nancial committee" The committee
commended Conner and Hudiburg
and their work and found that after
deducting their expenses they made
7 per cent on their total collections.
After my complete vindication by
the Committee, joint caucus of the
Republican Senators and members
of the House unanimously reelected
me Tennessee's member of the Re-
publican National Congressional
Committee and without opposition, |
was made member of the executive
committee and continued for a Sec
ond term as Chairman of the Finan-
cial Committee.

AN APPEAL TO THE REPUBLI.
CANS OF THE SECOND CON-
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

There has not been time since
| my first election to congress by the
good and patriotic people of my dis
trict, that | have not felt grateful to
them for their confidence and honor
conferred upon me. | esteem it a
distinguished honor to represent a
district in congress that has been
represented in the past by such a
long line of distinguished men and a
people who are noted all over this
great country for their intelligence,
loyalty and patriotism in every crisis
and emergency in our country's his
tory.
1t has given me pleasure on every
occasion that | have had to address
the house Of representative in con-
gress, to make known to the peoples
of the United States the character of
the people | represent as well as the
vast resources-developed and unde-
veloped--in this the best congress
sional district in the United States.
If you shall honor me with a renom-
nation and confidently believe you
will do so, shall continue to repre-
sent the people with that same faith
fulness and earnestness of purpose
that have done in the past.
| realize and appreciate the ire
mendous responsibilities that are
now resting upon member of con-
gress and will last for some time to
come, on account of the worldwide
war that involves the life and des-
tiny of our own great country. The
duties in looking after our vast army
| of boys that are daily leaving for
! the front and the enormous supplies
both in the way of foodstuffs, am
munition, shipbuilding, as well as
strengthening our great navy is al
most beyond comprehension, and just
in proportion as the congress of the
United States comprehends and
meets these vast demands will this
great war be success.
Having had an experience in con-
gress during the last four years that
our allies have been fighting the
central powers of Europe and more
than one year since our own great
country was forced into the war,
feel that l am best fitted to repre-
sent this district in congress for its
coming term. | cannot believe that
the loyal, patriotic people of the
Second Congressional district will
fail to appreciate these great re-
sponsibilities and confidently believe
that while | am remaining in Wash
ington true to my trust in trying to
protect you and your boys, and your
| family and to help save our country,
that you will do the right thing as
you understand it in this matter.
When / shall have been reelected
| shall do everything in my power to
aid our boys in going over the ton
and bring to a speedy victory this
horrible war and make secure the
blessed freedom of our fair land and
country and save it from the DONNA
ton of kaiserism

MoneoIs Like Fast Horses.
from the Manchester Guardian.

from the MANCHESTER duarutaT.
Perhaps the prohibition of horse racing
wou!d be more deeply resented in Mon
golia than in any other country of the
world. There it ranks as the favorite
pastime of all classes. including the Budd-
hist clergy, who number fully one-third
OF the total population. The races are
never under 10 miles, and the Monaghan
derby" is a contest over 80 miles of
rough steppe. When &. w. Campbell, of
the Chinese consular service, Travelled
through Mongolia in 1902 he witnessed Il
race meeting which was presided over
by. the local aVatar, most Of the colapet-
ing ponies being owned by lanlas. The
great races which take place yearly at
urga are held under the direct patronage
CT the lama pop of Mongolia, who be-
comes the owner of all the winners. A
horse race with a bishop in the judges
box. a public chiefly clerical, no book
makers or betting and nominal prizes is
a phenomenon unlikely to pe seen in this
country.

Walnut Trees Valuable.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Walnut. walnut. walnut. That is
what our Uncle Sam is looking for
just at present. What does he want
it for? Why gunstocks. Walnut IS
and always has been the wood par
excellence for the manufacture Of
stocks. 1t is easy to work. will not
easily crack, and will not splinter.
Ii spite of the enormous demand
which has always existed. and exists
now more than ever, there Is am
amount of the wood to be got. SO long
as you are willing to pay the price.
The reason for this is thai in the
timber countries, as they have become
more and more settled, the inhabitants
have sought to beautify their land and
urging of necessity, have absolutely
refused to sell their trees at any
price. Now, under the spirit Of patriot
ism. people are sacrificing these grand
old landmarks 10 the service of their
country, and consequently the govern
ment is getting all The walnut it needs
The boys are getting first class stuff
too. Uncle San lays down standards
and when he's laid them down h.
sticks to them like glue. The conse-
cuence is that in this case the stocks
are all cut from good wood. properly
selected and seasoned, and with the
grain running the roper way to guar
antee the requisite strength.
The next best wood for gun stock is
oak. Oak. however. does not yield so
readily to the turning OF the lathe.
Furthermore walnut will not crack
so readily as oak. Other woods arc
not desirable.

the steps OF the a. e. f. base section
these last few days. Keep your eye
on the shoes. They go in alrily enough,
straddle apart while their occupant
gives the doorkeeper his name, age,
dimensions of the mole on his knee
and his favorite brand of cheese. The
feet begin to jiggle about %nervously.
Then one leans on the other for ON

the word they march ~deferentially into

together While the thrill of a 100 per

But remember he's a Yank. His feet
are fixed at the polite angle for a few
minutes, then snap together for an
other heel'click. When they retrace
their steps in the corridor aud out to
the sidewalk, their speed is somewhat
slackened n heir no longer

Those Yanks in the British army
have come to London on leave and
have applied at the base section for
