There is a little widow with two
boys thirteen and fifteen years old.
She has less than normal strength. yet
she earns living for her boys. While
she is at work they have to amuse and
busy themselves. What a great relief
it would be to her to know that her
boys were well taken care of in whole

have time to gather strength ana save
a little for the coming winter.
One family lives in one room up

much as carrare to go to the park.
What a wonderful time he would

If there are families who would

are being stressed, for they are thought

these boys a vacation.

Lodge feels that the measure is safe
and ceases to worry any more about it.
But if Representative Harold knutson
of Minnesota. Republican whip of the
House, tells Representative Frank W.
Mondell of Wyoming, Republican floor
leader, that eight or even twenty ma
jority is all he can count for given
measure that has been slated for pass
age, Mr.. .NIondell knows that measure
is in danger. The margin is too close
for comfort in body of 49, members.
1t is too hard to keep in touch with
them and to make sure that some of
them do not change their minds at the
last minute and upset the apple cart.
Both houses were in the control of
Republican majorities in the last con-
gress and these majorities are SO great
ly increased in the present that there
will be not the slightest question as
to which party will run the show. The
majority in each house has a steering
committee as well as floor leader
and whip. These men are selected
by party caucuses.
The senate steering committee goes
under the name of the committee on
order of business. 1t consists of
Senators McCumber Of North Dakota,
chairman; La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Wadsworth of New York, Fernald of
Maine, France Of Maryland, Freling-
huysen Of New Jersey, Kellogg of Min
nesota and Mccormick Of Illinois, with
Senator Lodge as an ex-officio men,
Der by virtue of his position as chair
man of the caucus and floor leader
Senator Lodge is unquestionably the
most influential individual in the SEN
ate, both because of the position which
his colleagues have voted to give him
and his own ability and experience.
His name is already known from one
end Of the country to the other as the
author of the Lodge reservations to
the League of Nations and leader in
the successful battle against the treaty
of Versailles in the senate ut the last
session.
Senator Lodge has had long leg1s-
lative and political experience. His
biography reads like a, history of
American politics and governmental af-
fairs for the last thirty years. His
career as q lawmaker began in the
Massachusetts legislature. He went
from there to the house of represent
atives and has been in the senate since
1898. He has been one of the guiding
forces in Republican national conven-
tions since 1900. For years he has
served on the senate foreign relations
committee, of which he is chairman.
But it would appear that Lodge
prides himself most on his literary rec
ord. The list of his writings in the
Congressional Directory is long and
notable and practically all of them
have been on historical and political
subjects. He is graduate of Harvard
college and Harvard law school, As

from his high estate by en- unfortu
nate illness. which not only kept hin
away from the senate during most Of
the exciting battles over the Versailles
treaty but prevented him from attend
ing the Republican national convention
/, last summer.
| Senator Penrose is still i'll, but his
| influence is felt in the senate. He is
consulted by his colleagues, by letter
wire and in person. While Penrose
never has posed as public speaker
| he is one of the keenest wits in the
| senate, and when he wants to he car

sarcasm. He is past go years old, and
| his illness has been SO severe that
| many Of his friends fear he will never
again take an active part on the SEN
ate floor or in the committee rooms
Penrose was a lawyer before he was
a politician.
Perhaps the foremost financial au-
thority of the senate is Reed Smoot
of Utah. He is certainly among the
first three or four men with that dis
tinction. He is a member of the Nor
mon Church, and when he first came
to the senate in 1903 there was a
great deal of prejudice against him,
but that has passed away before his
sterling record his universally acknowl-
edged ability and his general affabil-
ity. He is a banker and woolen manu-
facturer, When it comes to picking
flaws in appropriation bills and fran
ing tariff and internal revenue laws
Smoot is in his element. He is 50

City.

ions that we're held in congress on the

he helped to perform.
Then there is William Edgar Borah
of Idaho. He is a senator in a class
by himself. He has set himself the
task of finding the flaws in other peo-
pies works and, by crying them out
in public, forcing their correction. He
is the senate's supreme critic. He is
also probably its greatest orator today.
Borah's chief business recently has
been ito prevent the Wilson League
of Nations from being accepted in any
form BY this country. He has been re-
markably successful. He will turn to

is 55 years old. He; is a member Of

bers are representative of widely diff
ferent sections and Of political thought
! McCumber is a lawyer by profession,
but has long been identified with the
great wheat growing interests Of the
northwestern plains. LaFollette and
Kellogg are also lawyers from the
same section, but Kellogg is identified
with the conservative wing of his
party, while La Toilette has been a
radical and a troublemaker ever since
he entered the senate.
1t is only because Of the narrow ma
jority of two which the Republicans
had in the senate last term that La
Toilette was to maintain position of
Importance. With the big majority
of % in the present congress the wis
ccnsin wild cat will find himself rele-
gated to a position in the rear guard.
The party leaders are particularly
anxious for chance to discipline him
because of his efforts to defeat his
Republican colleague, Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin, in the last election and
his failure at every turn to join the
party in its big victory drive.
Joseph I. France is a physician.
Bert NJ Fernald is a banker and

There is no harder worker in the
house or more influential member in
his own sphere. and that is one of the
greatest of all. than Representative
James w. Good of Iowa. chairman of
the appropriations committee. He is
a lawyer by profession and is finish
ing his twelfth year in the house. He
handles bills appropriating billions of
dollars each year. and he must be ready
to answer innumerable questions about
them ON the floor. He gets away with
the job. too. in spite Of the fact that
several members make it their special
business to pick flaws in appropri-
alton bills after they have been
framed with months of labor by Mr..
Goods committee. But that is part of
the routine. There must be men who
draft and perfect the bills in commit
tee. and others who subject them to
microscopic inspection and criticism
on the floor. Thus are the people
affairs watched.
There are two men on the Republi-
can side of the house who have consti-
tuted themselves the treasury watch
dogs in extraordinary. They are
known as big Jim" and Little Joe,"
and they are James II. Mann of IH-
nois and Joseph Walsh of Massachu-
setts. Mr.. Mann won his way into the
position of Republican floor leader when
the Republicans were in the minority
during the first part of the Wilson ad-
ministration by his untiring attacks on
bills of all sorts. He amazed the
house time after time by the breadth
and minuteness of his knowledge, He
asked questions which completely
stumped men who had been working on
the subjects for months, and then an
swered them himself.
Mr.. Mann would have been the pres
ent speaker of the house but for a
factional fight against him, due partly
to his record on war legislation and
the enemities he made in his career
as critic of everything and everybody.
But with it all Mr.. Mann is lovable
character. who likes to show his teeth
in the house but forgets all about his
bors no animosities. Mr.. Walsh is
understudy for Mr.. Mann, and Is fast
fitting himself to step into his shoes.
The inner group in the house in
cludes also Representative Philip r.
Campbell Of Kansas, whose position as
chairman of the rules committee gives
him much to say before the house
under auspices that will insure speedy
action. II anything has to be done
quickly, or against the will of fight
ing minority, Mr.. Campbelrs services
are in demand. He calls his commit
tee together and special gag" rule

matter with as little pain as possible
to the vanquished.
