mentality that President Wilson set '<Slde h4& original objections to the -\'hraskan as member of his Cabinet "flt nilmed him to the position suggest cd by MT House. In tie light of later events Mr. House is said to have realized that the appointment of MT. bryan was a political mistake. but the two men are still warm personal friends
 Notwithstanding the fact that Texas borders upon Mexico for about 1500 miles by the course of thu Rio Grande, the average public man of this State nas little knowledge of political and business affairs of that country. Few ot them have ever visited Mexico. When revolutionary conditions in that country brought about crisis that threatened to involve the United States MT. House. for his own personal satisfaction, became active in acqutr- ing all possible information of d re- liable nature that he could in regard 10 the conditions and factors that en- ter into the relations between the people and governments of the two countries. It was largely through his understanding of the matter. as ob- tained from various sources at his command, that he was able to tender advice to President Wilson, by the observance of which the United States has so far been kept out of war with Mexico
 Although MT. House and his brother for many years operated 8 big ranch within a short distance from the Rio Grande, he had little personal knowl- edge of Mexico itself until he took up the study of that country. Tn this connection it may be mentioned 1t was Mir. Houses firm belief that the draw ing of the United States into the world war was inevitable and that he reach ed this conclusion long before it was accepted by President Wilson. It was typical of him, however. not to seek to impress his views upon the Presi- dent in this particular, but to merely lay before him what he believed to be the facts and their probable ultimate outcome. rms mas ever been L1lo policy and practice of MT. House. He has never sought to thrust his own views upon any one. He first thor oughly acquaints himself with condi- tions, forms his own conclusions and then makes known his views. Always he is fortified by the facts.
 How thorough he is in such things is indicated by the way he mapped out the part the United States was to play in the Peace Conference with out any flaring of trumpets, fulsome publicity or ostentation of character. He has been for several months quietly perfecting an organization that had for it's purpose the assembling of all possible details that might enter into discussion around the peace table It was not until the eve of the depar- ture of the American peace party to France that the personnel of the conl- rnittee selected by MT. House to gather information on the subjects involved in the possible peace agreement be- came known

Books His Good Friends

During the height of MT. Houses powerful political influence and power in Texas he was personally known only to very few members of the party, even among the Democrats who were perhaps district leaders. To say that his personal acquaintance among the party workers did not exceed one hundred men would be probably no exaggeration. He attended but one political convention, and that was the one which nominated Culberson for Governor. He never attended any religious or any other kind of gather ing. He was never known to stand on the street corner and gossip with friends, which is something remark able to say about any one who ever lived in Austin. It is a habit which even MT. Gregory and Mir Houston fall into when they come down here and, as for Burleson, why, he spends hours at a time standing upon the sidewalk talking to groups of friends.
 Even MT. Houses closest friends here know very little about his private business affairs. It is stated that he disposed of his plantation and ranch interests within the last few wears His wealth is estimated all the way from s1,000,o0O to $2,OOO,00O. He was never in active business himself. Since boyhood he has been a man of leisure. of the old Southern type, in that respect, at least. He and his brother formerly owned 8 60,000-acre ranch. He was wont to spend only a few days each year upon the big prop erty.
 It was by a narrow chance that Mir. House escaped adding enormously to his fortune. He owned several thou sand acres of land in what is now the heart of the central west Texas oil fields. He sold these holdings for a nominal sum before the discovery of oil there.
 Mir Houses pathway through life has been without exciting personal in cidents and experiences, notWithstand- ing the fact that he lived in Texas during the latter part of an era when 'gun men" and more or less laWless characters were numerous. Being of a quiet, unassuming type himself, he has always admired the breezy ways of the typical Westerner. He culti- vated and appreciated the warm per sonal friendship of the late Captain "Bill' Mcdonald, the famous Ranger commander and gun-fghter. It was at the instance of MT. House that Cap

ing the period that Mir. House was the real leader in the management of the successful Democratic candidates for Governor. There is no question as to the control of Democratic party af- fairs which MT. House wielded in Texas during the period from 1890 to 1906. There was not a time during that period that he could not have been elected to the United States Sen ate, had he so desired. He never de- rived one cent of profit or an official honor of the slightest kind from his Democratic political leadership in Texas. On the contrary he placed in office many of his friends and spent large amounts of his own money in their behalf, without hope or expecta- ton of compensation. Politics is Mr. Houses only fad or hobby.

Leader of State Party

Re father of MT. House was a gge of England. He ran away from Re when a boy and made his way Liverpool, where he attracted the @ntion of a sea captain. who made cabin boy on his ship and brought across to New York. Not long
 arriving in this country Mir. H Hse's father made his way to New ans, where he obtained employ Ht in a bakery at $8 per week. Hn New Orleans he went to Hous- where he opened a bakery of his It was in that business that #nade the nucleus of the fol tune he left to his sons.
