u. S. Senators Human Beings After All

1T NITED States senators-members
~ Of the most august legislative
body" In the world-as a rule take
themselves mighty seriously. Yet they
have been given nicknames, just like
small boys, prize fighters and ball
players. The Washington newspaper
correspondents are responsible for
most Of these nicknames. It's easier,
you see, to say Ounce than to say
~Josiah Quintus Bobb of Massylva-
MIA" Also, these correspondents in
the senate press gallery have learned
that senator's are only human beings
after all. Some of these nicknames
are rather clever; others are decided
ly forced. For example, the two lead
ers in the treaty fight, Senator Hitch
cock Of Nebraska. and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts,, both have their
nicknames. Senator Hitchcock is reg
ularly alluded to as "Hitchy-Koo,"
while the cabot" in his opponents
name has resulted in Cabbage"
The identity of some of the senators
bearing picturesque sobriquets may
not be revealed, for obvious reasons.
For instance, it would be impossible
to tell the name Of the senator who
Is called 'Polonius," because of his
heavy style and podgy witt Nor would
1t be wise to disclose the name of the
senator who is termed Sweetheart"
on account of his dapper manner,
mincing way of speaking and general
~cunningness. 1t would never do to d.
vulge the individuality of 1.-THE Boy
