small that 1t made picturesque stage

Christian Science Monitor. ] can recall
no specific example of this worthy and
hospitable man. nor open any book to
the page which he decorates. yet he
stands vividly enough in my mental pic
ture book, dressed. I know not why, in
tight breeches. a red waistcoat, button
ed over his round and ample stomach
with many brass buttons, and an apron
over the waistcoat and breeches. Mirth
radiates from his blue eyes and smile
loses itself in his plumb and ruddy
checks. Travellers know him, and the
scoua!ntance is bond Of union be-
tween men who might otherwise remain
strangers.
But men no longer wear brecches, ex =
cept for riding or golf, and inns, al
though they are again increasing in
number as the result Of the increasing
number of motorcars, no longer make
a stage setting for a host. Perhaps
there never was such host as like to
imagine.

Of the chief Senate Committee, breaks
with the President, breaks with the
party leaders in the Senate and forms
a bipartisan combination to get his bill
out, even though the purpose of the
Democrats In entering the combination
is to wreck the Republican legislative
program.
Spurred BY Big Primary Fight
Mr.. McCumber was moved to do what
he did by his dificulties in getting re.
nominated. He Is up before the Re

The race is about even between him and
Governor Frazier. Ornsby McIiarg. u

age.
A few nights ago some officers Of
the American Legion went to Senator
McCumber with copies of McHarg' 9
speeches. They made Mr.. McCumber
unhappy. He at once called together the
Republican members Of his finance com.
mittee. Five were present. He asked
for the reporting Of his bonus. A vote

the McCumber bill, and one was non.

McCumbcr sal dthat he could get little
aid in his North Dakota campaign from
the Republicans. He was desperate. He
went to the Democrats. The Democrats,
knowing that the last thing the Re
publicans wanted was to have the
bonus bill get in the way Of the tariff
bill. cheerfully agreed to vote for re.
port on the bonus.
Seek to Pscify McCumber
Since then all the energies of the
Republican Organization have been de-.
voted to pacifying McCumber. They

Mr.. McCumber looks at the temple,
having the advantage over Samson that
