DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADERS


 From the Washington Star.
 The democratic House leadership has in the past 30 years been in the hands of John Sharp Williams, Joseph W Bailey. James D. Richardson. Champ Clark, oscar Underwood and Claude Kitchin.
 MT. Williams, Mfr. Bailey and MT. Un- derwood were transferred to the Sen ate partly as a reward for their House services. Mi. Bailey resigned from .he Senate, and MT Williams will reilre at the close of his present term. MT. Underwood is entering on his second term, and is the democratic leader iL that body
 MT. Richardson did not seek a seat in the Senate He liked the House. and was one of the best parliamentarisns on the floor. His leadership was unor- atorical He was argumentative and persuasive, and quiet and skillfui na- gotiator.
 Mir. Clark was at once an orator, and a rattling aH-arounu uepater. The eh- orgy of his floor leadership won the speakership. When his party came into control he stood marked for promotion, and he was three times reelected,
 Mir. Kitchin is-on deck, though not in vigorous health. The hope. hared by both sides is. that his health may i'm prove, and enable him to take the pari in the new House for which he is so well suited. As was MT. Clark, and somewhat on that order, he is an ag- gressive debater. has specialized on the tariff. and stands for the old demo- cratic doctrine tariff for revenue only

Cspid and Uniforms

Uniforms have once more come to George J. Reynolds, and the result has been that many boys of the na- tional guard who met girls while on duty in the strike zones, Have married them since they have been dischargeA from active duty.
 This has occurred not only once or twice, but several times, and l think the romance is created because one party thinks the other party, which he or she likes very much, is in danger.

, UnsightIy and Unsanitary

T am heartily in sympathy with the move to construct new courthouse and new city hall" said Ed Bishop real estate man. The present court house is unsightly and unsanitary' while the city hall is anything but beautiful. The sooner Birmingham builds new city hall and new court house, the better off we will be from civic standpoint.
 T am also of the opinion that re- moval of either city hall or court house from their present sites, en- abling commercial enterprises to buile on the location, would help develop ment of the central business district

TRISTATE MEET

Development Congress of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan will Convene.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 25.-Further-
ance of the agricultural and other mu-
tuaf interests of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, including the classlh-
cation and colonization of immigrants,
Is the purpose Of the Tri-State De-
velopment Congress that will open a
two-day session here tomorrow.
Governor J. A. o. Preus Of Mime
sofa called the congress after a con-
ference Of state officials and others in
the affected states, and 1t is hoped to
form a permanent organization that
will work for the mutual interests OF
the three states.
Those interested in the congress
have contended hat the federal gov
eminent appropriates large sums OF
money for the development of arid
sections Of the western states, "but has
appropriated a mere $4,000 for the
development Of cut-over lands in the
three states participating in tomor-
rows congress. s
1t, is expected by Minnesota state
officials that concerted action by three
states will enable them to receive
ment in the form Of a larger appropri-
alton Of development of the cut-ovel
lands.
+ Minnesota's delegation will propose
the classification of immigrants by ar
agent stationed at an European sea.
port and these immigrants would be
colonized in the cut-ovcr regions OF
the three states. 1t will be proposed
that only immigrants familiar with
such lands be sent to those sections
! where they would be encouraged II
the work of agriculture by the state
and federal governments.
Tentative plans are that immediate.

Mysterious Force in Magnet That Over
comes Gravity.

The exact principle which causes "a
magnet to take hold of metals and cling
TO them with force which overcomes
the principle of gravity is, like electric.
ity. one Of natures msolved mysteries
We merely know that piece OF iron
which has been electrically treated will
attract and hold various other metals
The force il exerts we call magnet
ism" and let IL go at that.
The most logical explanation would
appear 20 be that an electrically
treated piece Of iron gives of force
analogous TO that given off by radium
in that It viii affect other pieces OF
metal without materially lessening its
own power.
The name magnet" is derived from
the mineral magnetic" This in turn
is so called because 1t was first dis
covered in Magnesia. Magnetic is a
natural magnet, Of which lcdestone Is
one Of the best known varieties.-Phila.

Why They Stop Teaching.

A Young man, college trained and
interested in his work, is leaving the
teaching profession after four years
OF activity. In current magazine he
asks the question; "Why dc 100000
teachers leave the profession each
year2v and proceeds to answer i
from his own observation. He found
that many OF his friends who admired
him personally regarded his work with
contempt. They looked upon male
school teacher as "a sort of licensed
Ioafer. one who drew pay envelope.
but who rendered in return no special
service" They held this attitude in
spite OF his years OF preparation for
the profession OF the number OF
classes per day he taught, of the sum
mer school work he did TO improve
himself as teacher, and of the hours
Of home study and home work He
found that the business and profess
sional men whose children were in his
school regarded him as a rather futile
member OF the community. They did
not want teacher TO mingle in pilict.
ical affairs of TO participate actively in
community plans. They did not look
10 to him as leader, even in educa
tionai matters. He found that criti-
cism OF him and his fellows, as teach
ers, was not constructive. Usually il
took the form Of idle gossip. Such q
teacher had been seen playing cards or
smoking or dancing These things be
came horrible offence in the teacher
although the parents Of school children
who might be expected to serve as
models for the young, could do them
regularly without causing comment.
He found little recognition for valu-
able service rendered He concluded
his statement, Until the American
people render heart respect, ont lip
respect merely, to the teaching profes.
