INTERVIEWING THE SENATOR.

The Senator sat in his easy chair
complacently smoking his corn-cob
pipe, his mind busy with visions of
the approaching dangers of woman's
suffrage and other intricate political
problems, when a high-power car
came dashing up to his gate and a
very small man, with a very large
smile on his face, dismounted and
went bounding up the few front steps.
The portly senator arose from his
cushioned seat and advanced with out
stretched hand. eXclaiming: hello,
Bill; come right up and take chair;
Pm sure Pm delighted to see you"
The little man. who was evidently
in great haste. dropped in to the prof
fered chair. and after recovering his
breath, turned his beaming counte-
nance upon the senator and said:
well, Senator, reckon you know
they have got me into politics The
gang doDed me and got me to allow
my name to grace the ticket at this
falls election. and as Democrats are
so darned scarce in these hills, | am
bound to get some big fellows behind
me with their support or I'll be hang
ed if the ticket don't disgrace me. so
Just run down today to see if could
not count on your support. You know
we have been very close friends these
many years, and | have handled your
legal matters whenever you asked me,
and have advocated your cause in a
legal way many times, so / want you
to come across and help me out with
this big job, just on the quiet, of
course; no one need be ware of it,
but"
Hold on, Bill" replied the Senator
very abruptly. at is true that we
have been friends these many years,
and as for legal advice | particularly
remember that that was all paid for
in cash" and there was a twinkle in
the Senator's black beady eye as he
continued: But, Bill, have no con-
cesslons to make; no political support
to give you; don't you know I'm dead
set against anything that begins with
a ID from the Devils Dance down to
Democratic ticket; so it is useless to
continue the subject further" where
upon the little man, with not quite so
large smile, mopped his perspiring
brow and continued:
"Well, Senator, if that is final, and
you look as though it was. | reckon
I'll have to kick around the brush and
stir out as many Democrats as posi-
BILE and figure on finding some few
soft-boiled Republicans.
"Now you're on the right trail" ex
claimed the Senator. Fight it out
on that line, but don't expect to find
too many 'soft-boiled' Republicans,
for these beautiful hills and fertile
valleys do not produce that kind"
The little man then took I'D three
inches in his belt and jumping into
his car sped away in quest of fresher
fields and greater pastures.

CHARGE WASTE IN
BUILDING CAMP
CONTRACTOR SAYS SICK SOL
OIERS SUFFERED BECAUSE
STEAM FILTERS GAMBLEO.

Camp Sherman, O.-Charges that
wilful negligence on the part of tn,
steamfitters employed in the con-
siruction of the Ease hospital at
Camp Sherman resulted in exposure
fer weeks to the zero weather, preva-
lent late in October and all of Novem-
heT, 1917. of sick soldiers confined
there, were among the disclosures
made before the Congressional SUP
committee by Joseph Poole, Chilli.
cothe contractor. -
The evidence given by Poole will
be followed up. to fix the RESPONSE
bility for the suffering of the men. ac-
cording to Chairman John c. Mcken
Sie and Chief Examiner Roscoe G..
McCulloch of the committee.
While sick soldiers were pinched
and actually blue to their finger tips
with the bitter cold. steamfitters sup
posedly equipping The hospital wards
with steam heat, were gambling and
warming themselves over their gaso
line torches, Poole told the commit
tee. Hesssserted t,at the weather
vas so cold the nurses wore their furs
when they tended rhe sick. and thu
doctors wore their sheepskin lined
coats, while the patients had no heat
whatever.r
Games Of chance were worked
among the men. the witness declared
Two or three days every week some
the men buy chances on automobiles
wrist watches and other things, he
said.
THAT was a graft worked h. some
body" he declared.
Other witnesses, corroboratina
Poole's testimony as to the idling ol
the men and the wastage Of material
generally agreed that the work could
have been done more satisfactorily
and in quicker time by from two
thirds to one-half the number of mer
on a given job. Taylor Thornburg
