FOLKS AND FITTINGS
AROUND WASHINGTON
By LABERT ST. CLAIR.

One or these fine days soon Repre-
sentative Doremus. of Michigan, Is
going to announce that he is through
with Congress because he does not
care to serve any longer in the House.
When his retirement goes into egect
there will close, temporarily at least.
one Of the most interesting political
careers in the United States. 1t Is
interesting because of the fact that
Doremus has held ONCE continuously
for about twenty years and he always
has been literally pushed into his jobs.
Up to the time that Dorenus was
about 50 years old he ran a country
newspaper out in Michigan. Then he
decided that he wanted to study law
so he went down to Detroit. called
on Tim Tarsney, an old political lead
er, and apprised him that he desired
to become a lawyer. Tarsney assigned
Doremus to a desk in the corner OF
his ONCE and told him to start in
studying law. After studying for two
years. Doremus went to Tarsney, and
told him that he was out of funds
and, therefore, he would have to lay
or for year or two until he could
make some more money. Tarsney ad-
NlScu DOTtmuS 70 take the Stale DH r
examination anyhow, so Doremus did
with the result that he was admitted
to the bar. Tarsney heard dpring the
night that Doremus had successfully
passed the examination so in the
morning when Doremus arrived at
Tarsney's Office he found his name
painted on the door as a member Of
the firm.
WELL 1 see you got that job all
right" Tarsney said to Doremus, a
few hours later.
What do you mean iob?" Doremus
inquired.
why you've been made a special
assistant to the corporation counsel to
investigate the back tax situation"
Tarsney said, and Doremus's future
was assured.
AS tax ferret Doremus made good
with the result that within a short
time he was elected to the job Of con-
troller of Detroit. He also was in the
Michigan legislature. Then ten years
ago he had the job OF Congressman
unloa1ed on him. Doremus never has
had to struggle for office, folks Just
seemingly voting for him through
habit.
The most photographed thing in
Washington is fountain on the east
side of the White House. Sooner or
later every visitor wh6 comes to town
with a camera-and that includes 800
out OF every 1.000-takes some pictures

backed up against ne fountain. This
particular spot is chosen because the
White House furnishes a background
for the fountain and the person VINO

snappy line like "Milly calling on

is one of the Quietest men in the
House. He also probably seems twice
as quiet as he is because he sue
ceeded Henry Barnhart. who not only
made a lot OF speeches, but could
initiate the voice and facial express
sion of every prominent character in
the House. a Chautauqua manager
once offered Barnhart a lot of real
money to just go around the country
and make faces like Champ Clark.
Joe Cannon and all those folks
familiar to everybody.
Daniel Roper. commissioner of
Internal Revenue, plays the most
intensive golf of anybody in Wash
ington and maybe in the whole
world. Furthermore. he plays the
game without any makeup what
ever. Roper can dash out of his
Office in a pair Of patent leather
shoes and a high collar and just
thrash around the green as good as
anybody. Sometimes he wears a
collar that is so high that it would
take the average man a day to melt
1t down. but by his intensive
method of play he can melt it in
no time at all. A lot OF folks
have tried to convince the Commits
sioner that he should make up in
a pair OF knee trousers and a
plaid cap before he plays golf, but
he does not think that such reSa-
liza would cut down his score, so
he continues to play in civilian at
tire
Representative Bland, of Virginia. is
an Independent sort of a man. One
time the folks i'm Newport News want

he would If nobody would oppose him.
Some other fellow, however, decided
that he wanted to get into the race,
So Bland simply refused to run. When
a successor was sought for Represen-
tative Jones in the last Congress,
Bland said he would not be a candi-
date for the nomination. but the men,
bers of his party nominated him any
how and he was elected without OPP

Sentiment Succeeded by "Jasz.,
There was a happy after-New Year
Day gathering in the Office OF Pro-
baton oficer GEORGE A. HEAVY
in the Police Court. Judge ROBERT
HARRISON occupied the post of
honor. He had been telling of a
saloenkeeper in old Kaintuck, when
the State was wet" who sold fierce
brand of booze. When a customer
would order a drink of the vitriolic
stun the proprietor would always
say:
Now, take your drink and go out.
I don't want any trouble with you. d"
Then the conversation turned upon
the observance of New Year Day now
as compared with the old-time occas-
ion. A newspaper man remarked that
Jazz has taken the place of senti-
ment in the up-to-date celebrations.
Everything is jazz nowadays" the
news gatherer said. Jazz sermons
are preachtd In the churches. Con,
gressmen punctuate their remarks
with Jazz sayings. Jag music is
played at dances, in theaters, and even
in some churches. The newspapers
print Jazz stories in preference to
the plain. straightaway STUFF of the
old days. Even the Salvation Army
lassies are singing Jazz hymns to
coax sinners to the stool of repent
ance. The very birds in the trees and
the bees in the fields are adopting
'jazzy' notes for their singing and
buzzing.''
Judge Harrison announced himself
as a defender Of the good old-fash-
Toned sentiment. and deplored its abb
sence In the days doings.
