Senators And Congressman
Are Looking Back H0me"

State of Maine actually dominated
both the House and the senate Of the
United States. Thomas b. Reed was
speaker of the House. and that was
the time when prominently the
speakership controlled the House.
Maine had Dingley as chairman Of
the ways and means committee, to
write the tariff bill; Boutelle was
chairman of naval affairs, to build up
the navy; Milliken was chairman of
buildings and grounds, to appropriate
for public buildings.
In the senate. Senator Frye was
president pro tenn; Hale was chair

masterful leaders n both

Iowa was another state which fol-
lowed the seniority rule to
Iowa had representation on every i'm
portant committee in both branches of
congress, and Senator Allison, chair
man of appropriations, was the most
influential man in the senate They
had been kept IN office by their con-
stituents until they had worked up
to their positions OF power.
The solid south furnished the
north a striking example of the value
of keeping competent men in con-
| gress when the Democratic party
came back into power with President
Wilson. They had been out of power
in the House and senate as a party
a long time, except that during the
interval the southern states had con-
! tinued sending the same men, prac-
tically, back to congress. To be sure,
they were in the minority on COM
mittees. but, which turned out to be
highly important, while the northern
states had been displacing their
Democratic representatives and SEN
| ators, the southern states had held
| theirs on, so hat when the wheel
| revolved and the minority became
the majority, 10 and behold, the
southern states were represented at
the head of all the important conf
| mittees by the mere rule of seniority.
So, 1t came about that 1.-THE south

was not to be. The men who had

WASHINGTON, April /. APP
proachos now the a when the
uppermost thought In the mind of ass
members of the national House of rep
membership of the senate Is the Ques-
ton of denomination and reelection.
Some of them need concern them
selves only with securing the nomina-
ton, as in the solid south" and in
certain republican and democratic
strongholds in other states, where the
vote. is overwhelmingly one way. In
such instances, however, h contest
for the nomination, carrying with 1t as
1t does the equipment of sure election,
IS usually so spirited as to give the
aspirant for office all the fight he
wants and In reality as much as the
other fellow experiences who has to
struggle for both the nomination and
election.
Experience has shown that 1t is the
propensity of men serving n term In
the senate and House to seek re-elec-
ton. This Is O readily understood and
natural desire. They want to be en-
dorsed, to be indicated. To lose re-
nomination carries with 1t q sense of
having been turned DOWN by ones
constituency and M man likes that.
SO, even in instances of men being dis
illusioned with congress, finding 1t
after practical experience unsuitable
to their tastes, and unremunerative to
many of them, they seek another term
for their own personal satisfaction.
Then experience has shown. after
awhile many of them get the CON
gressional habit" They stay on be-
cause their constituents want them to
stay and because they become habit
uated to the work and like II. Others
stick to II because they find they have
stayed so long they a not easily fall
into other lines of endeavor OF useful
ness. There have been many pathetic
instances of the latter kind, where
men remained in congress doing the
work of their country well and slav-
ing for their constituents, only to some
day awaken to the fact that they have
advanced in years; that they have
lost touch with their law practice, or
their business; hat a new generation
of voters have come along with whom
they are not acquainted and then up
hobs some ambitious young fellow
who thinks he would like q try al
.he job" and so. out goes the
veteran.
But many states have learned to
profit by the practice of keeping their
able men in congress. This was the
Ease more especially before the pri-
maries came into vogue. 1t was. and
1t is still true, hat by keeping their
tried and competent men in congress
they attained position by seniority OF
service where they were of great bene-
fit to their states and their districts.

NEW YORK W|NKS
 AT PETTY THEFTS Refuse to Prosecute Serv- ants In Order to Keep In
 Good Graces
By Associated Pres,


 New York, April 10.-An increase of 9 per cent in burglary insurance rates which has just been put into effect has brought to light the fact that employ CTS, made timid by the shortage of do- mestic workers, are tolerating thefts from their wardrobes and wine cellars in order to retain the few servants they have "in captivity" Officials of indem- pity companies who give this expiana- tiop declare that in many cases employ CTS have refused to allow the servants in their households to be questioned about thefts, through fear that they will quit if annoyed.
 Emboldened by this situation, dishonest servants are reported to be helping them sSFelves to their employers effects, such as wine, clothing and jewelry.
 Servants are privileged characters in the homes of the wealthy throughout New York, said the head of one surety company. Tn many cases holders of burglary insurance policies have can celled their claims against the company rather than to prosecute guilty servant. knowing that this would mean the joss of his or her services"
 One New York lawyer recently refused to allow his servants to be questioned re- garding $l,000 theft, saying: Don't go near the house. If the maids suspect you they will leave.'
 One investigator reported a case in which young servant girl had, in two weeks, disposed of eight cases of cham pagne and eight cases of whisky by hold- ing wine parties in the kitchen for her friends and entertaining them witf choice liquors from her employers private stock. Although the owner knew he could not replace the missing beverages. he refused to prosecute.
