 In the mean time MT. Lewis has done e great deal of Special" work. his articles being accepted by many leading magazines including the Cosmopolitan" "Munseys" and the Worlds Work"
 A Bit of History
 Mir. Lewis, a short time ago wrote a stirring article on banking for the Worlds Work" which ranks 8 one of the foremost magazines now pub lished.
 The article attracted the atten- ton of the great financiers all over tho world and one of the most in- fluential banks in Boston thought so well of the article, that the organ ization had 1t printed in pamphlet form and distributed 1t broadcast.
 In tho meantime. MT. Lewi7 was recently asked by the worlds Work" for an article; som thing which few writers ever achieve; an invitation" to write an article; the average writer shakes hands with himself" when he is able to sell his wares, but Mir. Lewis with his yer satile. clever pen, has had the good fortune to be among the favored few who have been asked" for articles.
 It Is with keen pleasure that I chroncile the success of Reuben A. Lewis. Jr.: I always knew h. would succeed; I always told him so.

Examiners $ Report Says WaIdrop Is an
 Efficient Official

Praise for the efficient manner in which the office of Circuit Clerk William L.. wAldrop has been operated during . four year period Is con- tained In the report of L. A. Easterly and R. L. Avery. state examiners of accounts. recently made to Gov. Thomas E. Kifby. The report covers the period from January. 1917. to September, 1921, and in a letter re- ceived yesterday by Mir. Waldrop the examiners say:
 We have examined the dockets, fee books and vouchers In your off, fice-both civil and criminal divisic=. and found that all records in your office were well and correctly kept and that you had vouchers on file showing that you had paid Into the state and county treasuries all moneys collected for these offices by you as clerk of circuit court.

Cost of Living" Gin red letters) by Reuben A. Lewis.
 The Bill
 What don't know about the tariff would fill an entire volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
 One of the most amusing things : that I do know about 1t Is what a young lady--a famous belle of Bir- mingham once said when some ono accused her of certain young man being in love with her and she re- piled:
 "Oh, dear no; he has never dis cussed anything with me tendercr than the tariff"
 Mir. Lewis doesn't dicuss the : tariff" tenderly in his well-written article in the August number of the worlds Work" I would say: his technique in handling the Fordney- McCumber bill Is slightly different fin fact, 1t is rough" I'd say, if l may use phrase popular in com mon parlance; at any rate, what he says Is to the effect that a hill to raise the cost of living, to hamper foreign trade and to retard the re- turn of prosperity. sums up the Fordney- -McCumber tariff far better than the pleasing conventional pla- titudes with which the framers have sponsored 1t. A bill to provide reve- nue, to regulate commerce with for eign countries, to encourage the in- dustries of the United States and for other purposes"
 Like n Grim Spectre
 Through a half dozen or more pages, MT. Lewis discusses the tariff with profoundly, good. sound com mon sense; with practical sugges- tions and delightful sense of humor. making his article one of rare excellence; out of the beaten path" really worth while.
 Summing up the situation he says:
 Like a grim spectre on the field of battle, rises the. fact in political history that no party has ever re- vised the tariff and won the cleo tions the same year. Little wonder that boots are quaking and hearts are beating stoutly on the opposing sides of the Senate chamber"
 (P. S): I always forget some- thing; I meant to say that MT. Lowis story is attractively illus trated:" whether the illustrations are also from his clever pen or not I'm not prepared to say, but in any case they are very well done and add conspicuously to the article.
