Senator Harrison's Wise Decision.

Mr.. Harrison of Mississippi does not
aspire to the minority leadership of
the Senate. Because of his ability and
his prominence in that body his name
has been canvassed along with the
names of several other senators in
connection with that place.
1t is an important place. and. for
the right man. possesses a lure.
Watching corners, planning battles.
assigning lieutenants to action and
helping the general run of Senate
business provide a good deal of fasci-
mating work for one fond of detail and
familiar with parliamentary practice
For Il man of Mr.. Harrison's tastes
and equipment the work can hardly
appeal. 1t would probably irk him
become ii little humdrum. He likes
excitement, knows how to produce it
and is wise in holding himself free to
indulge whenever opportunity pre-
sents itself
When the late Mr.. Blackburn of
Kentucky was young member Of the
House-personally popular, an orator
Of charm and ambitious to rise in the
legislative world-he offered for the
speakership. much to the surprise of
some of his friends, who could not as
sociate his talents with the office.
The candidacy was mentioned to the
venerable Alexander Fl. Stephens of
Georgia, then serving in the House,
and an admirer of the young Ken
tuckian. why, certainly" the vet
eran replied. But how does it come
that Joe wants to be Speaker? The
Speaker never speaks. And think of
how unhappy Joe would he placed

Radio Reports From Congress.

Broadcasting the proceedings of
Congress, which is proposed and for
which preparations are now being
made, will involve wide possibilities
and some peculiar problems. A radio
report of the proceedings of the House
and Senate would undoubtedly be of
great interest to many of the people Of
the country, and yet doubtless there
are some, probably a large number,
who would prefer songs and stories
and instrumental music, and perhaps
market reports and weather bulletins.
Roll calls, for instance, will hardly be
particularly inspiring, and often docu-
ments are read that do not hold the
attention even Of those on the floor Of
the House or Senate.
1t may be questioned whether there
are more than a score Of people in
Washington. outside Of those in charge
of its publication, who read the Con-
gressional Record daily from kivver
to kivver.'' Another point to be con-
sidered is the fact that the two housef

Ohio and Indiana.

While Senator Pomerene's defeat
for reelection probably removes him
from further speculation about the
presidency, Ohio will remain in the
democratic picture. Gov. Cox's hat is
in the ring, and former Justice Clarke
may shy his in at any time.
Both the Buckeyes are strong for
the league of nations. Gov. Cox de-
sired to make the league an issue in
the recent campaign. and only desisted
at a hunch from his party's managers,
while Judge Clarke left the bench for
the expressed purpose Of advocating
the entrance of the United States into

Too Much Work as Boy
Led to Harder Work as a Man

just rough sketch of some of the
work he does.
Well. just about twenty-five years
ago he had his first experience in the
government service as transfer clerk
in the railway postal service at
Greensboro, n. c. In this position
he had to meet all the trains during
the twenty-four hours of every day.
For a growing boy this no-sleep pro-
gram was not conducive to peace of
mind" he recalls.
Accordingly, when an examination
for West Point was announced in the
nearby town of Salisbury he decided
to try his luck against some twenty
rival aspirants for military honors.
Young Sheriff. stood first in this com
petition, principally because he was
so determined to get away from his
irksome job under Uncle Sam.
He entered West Point in 1897 and
graduated four years later, second in
his class of 142 starters. He got out
just in time to take part in the last
stages of the fighting against the in
surrection of the Filipinos IN the
Island of Luzon.
To boys in the ruck, to young men
in humble positions in Uncle Sans
service. Lieut.. Col. Sheriff., from his
own personal experience, offers en-
couragement. He says:
1T is often the case that an entire
life is thus determined by what at
the time appears to be a circumstance
of slight Importance. This indicates.
too, that every American boy of en-
ergy can aspire. and with reasonable

The Tongue and the Pen.

Winston Spencer Churchill, defeat
ed for reelection to parliament, will,
for time at least, turn to journalism.
He will not be novice in that field
He represented London newspaper
in South Africa during the Boer war,
and had some lively experiences,
showing an aptitude for correspond
ence and spirit that led him far in
quest of news.
Sharpening his pen and getting a
firm grip in that way, he wrote life
of his father, Lord Randolph Church
i'll. a brilliant but uncertain and err
ratio man. who during his closing
years had stirred things in English
politics. The son suggests the father
in audacity and phrasemaking, and in
making politics in his neighborhood
worth red-blooded mans while.
"Everybody's doing it now" Lloyd
George. unhorsed from leadership and
with time to spare, is writing for the
press NJ Clemenceau, retired from
political office, has pen in hand again.
Fl. G. Wells wanted to lay down his
pen and employ his tongue in parlia-
ment. but the English constituency to
which he appealed decided against
him. and it is the pen for him again.
And on this side of the big water,
Thomas r. Marshall. after years spent
in politics and Office. is contributing
weekly an entertaining letter to the
press.
1t is the era of newspapers. The
