Few by-electionS of recent date

Not only has she campaigned in

Perhaps her greatest personal

was acclaimed everywhere.
The Labor party sent cars and
speakers in her wake, but they
had a chilly reception.

LEADERSHIP
PARTY'S
PROBLEM
Byrnes, Of South Caro-
lima, Seriously Consid-
ered-Young and
Very Popular

Washington, July 5.-Two Dem
ocratlc members or congress, neltn-
er OF them from the South Attain
TIC section, were discussing the
question OF party leadership IL the
house Of representatives
They were IN agreement that
the enormous Republican MAJOR
ity is very ineffectlvely led at rnls
time and that it does no, seem
to be developing much that is very
promising IN the way OF substitute
material.
They thought the situation de-
cidedly better on the Democratic
side; though they did not consluer
the present guidance OF the M
nority by any means equal 10 tnat
when prevailed when senator In
derwood was the Democratic house
leader.
Claude Kitchin, of North Caro-
lima. the nominal Democratic
lea der, a whlrwind in debate, but
is not able to exert himself be-
cause OF his health. Representa-
tive Garrett, OF Tennessee, the
acting leader, is forcetul, earn
est debater and an expert parlla-
mentarian, but is handicapped by
a certain habltual appearance Oh
gloom which may be mistaken for
moroseness by those who do not
know him well.
However, to return TO the two
Democratic members who were
discussing the leadership question,
Who do you think asked one
Of them, would be the best man
in all-round qualifications that the
Democrats could pick for their
leader in the house today. il they
had to make new selection and
were not requierd to adhere
strictly to Senlority?'
The other congressman ponder
ed for a few moments. Then he
said, with emphasis indicating
conviction:
Il think the best man we could
pick would be-little Jimmy Byrnes
of South Carolina. He is making
headway in leadership faster than
any other man in the house in my
opinion. He is a convincing and
attractive talker. hard worker
and student, a ready debater, and
is popular on both sides Of the
chamber. He is veteran in ex-
perience, but young in years"
BY George, l believe you are
right, said the member who had
asked the question.
In 1911 when Representative
ByTnes first came to congress. the
writer was struck with the quick
ness and ease with which the
youthful Carolinian. then perhaps
the youngest man in the house.
learned the ropes and won the
good will of his colleagues in gen
eral. Since then Byrnes has ac-
complished in ten years what is
rarely accomplished in less than
twenty and in many cases is not
accomplished even then, because
of the lack Of some essential quail
ifcation Of leadership.
There are twenty-threc Demo-
crats who have been in the house
longer than Jimmy Byrnes. but
only a few of them would be Sc
riously considered fer the floor di-
rection Of their party. The major
ity Of them would no doubt them
selves assert that they are NOT
suited for it. There need be no
occasion for surprise if in a few
years the young Carolinian is at
the head OF the house Democracy

QUARREL AMONG g
REPUBLICANS
Attempt of Big Business
to Jam Through Rob
Der Tariff Ar0uses
Back Country Con-
greSSnaen

Washington, July "a break
in the ranks of the Republicans in
the ways and means committee
who drafted thi tariff bill came,
today with the making public by
Representative Frear, Of Wiscon-
I. of a minority statement charg-
ing his colleagues with disregard
ing party pledges and assailing
ally ind. .fnable' provisions and
rates Of duty. The statement will
be filed with the majority report
of the committee which. it is ex-
pected. Will be submitted to the
house tomorrow.
Mr.. Frear's attack. while pre-
dicated on the 'atrocity" of the
dye color control provisions, en-
braced many other features Of the.
bill. The Wisconsin member de-
clared the rates Of duty to be ex-
cessive in scores of instances and
added that they would lead to ex-
actions by trusts and monopo-
lies" thus increasing the burden
the people must carry.
Mr. Frear referred to the argu-
ment that protection for the dye
manufacturers was necessary for
national defense. and asked why it
was necessary to assume that the
nation would be thrown into a
great war and at the same time
ito grant practically exclusive
rights of dye manufacture to
recognized monopoly.
Protection. the keystone Of Re-
publican doctrine. is thrown to the
wind in the chemical dye sched-
ule." Mr.. Frear said.
The question which must be de-
cided by Republicans in congress,
he added. was, can the bill as
drawn be defended?"< It's critics,
he continued. would disclose how
far il exceeds strictly productive
lines in a revenue way and where
it becomes a prohibitive.
Rejection was voiced by Mr..
Frear to provisions which would
pass 10 the tariff commission leg
islative functions il the deter
mination Of whether dye chemi-
Gals may or may not enter Gus
toms
No inkling came from the
other Republicans tonight as to
wha. propositions they would put
before the second OF the party con-
ferences on the measUer tomorrow
night.

Century and Half
Ago

Warsaw, July 5.-The Polish
government is arranging to return
to Warsaw about 10000 national
keepsakes removed to Switzerland

When the partition of Poland be-

began to transfer collections of
national relics to Repperaville,
Switzerland, where they have been
preserved for Yearly $50 years.
Individuals who manged to get
articles of particular histro;cal in
terest out of the country made
valuable additions to the collec-
ton from time to time, even long
after the Russians were in control
of what is known as Congress Po-
land.
Among the relics of olden times
is sceptre of one Of the Polish
kings. The keepsakes are to be
added 20 the national museum in
Warsaw which has been establish
