year that he had cleaned up $780,
600 the previous year alone in his
coal land deals. He is reckoned
safely within the millionaire class.
He has a mathematical and an
lytical mind which has developed in
his unusual executive ability for a
man long in congress. he is a
hard worker and expects his asso-
ciates to work equally hard. Some
who have worked with him term
him driver" He will work
night and day to put through some
proposition and then take time off
to rest up.
When he tackles a job he has a
definite objective in mind and is
inclined to be intolerant of OBJ
stacles and impatient of delays that
may intervene, He hates details
himself, shouldering them off onto
others. He is wholly unmethodical
and hates routine.
He is a fast thinker, and either
when writing himself or debating
he chafes at the inability of the
material record to keep up with his
thought. he can't bear being cir
cumscribed; he must be free, foot
loose, and can tolerate no situation
in which he must occupy a position
of subordinate.
Two years older than the presi-
dent and far better grounded in the
school of practical politics, Slemp
comes to his job largely through
the recommendation of Speaker
Gillette and Secretary Weeks.
Slemp had an active part in the
last speakership fight, in which Gill
lette was elevated to presiding of
ficer of the house.
He was Gillette lieutenant then.
He turned the trick.
He is a Coolidge lieutenant now.
Can he do the same this time?
That's the question.
Slemp plays fair game of golf,
but he's not golf bug. He plays
a better game of poker, but can
play it or let it alone. he is pop
ular with women, but is not east
ly inpressionable.
Contrary to popular opinion he is
not bachelor. Who's Who shows
him as unmarried" However,
shortly after coming to congress he
brought to Washington Louisiana
belle as his bride. She remained
here only few weeks, however,
and divorce on grounds of GIN
compatibility" shortly followed.

Pres. Roberts of
Colby Gives Gripping
Talk Mems Division

In a gripping talk before the mems
division of Colby College yesterday
morning, President Arthur j. Rob
erts stated that the only salvation of
the world today was the getting down
to hard work and forgetting of the
hatred for each other.
The Colby president opened his
talk by quoting from a speech made
a short while ago in which the speak
err declared that it would take months
for all of the dead of the Great War
to pass through a door in a steady
stream marching two abreast He
stated that misery and want always
accompanied a war and the last great
conflict brought more than usual to
the world.
1.-THE world can not be made right
by the turn of the hand" President
Roberts stated emphatically. eff that
were So we would all have an easy
time for making the world a fine place
to live in. 1t will take generations
to recover from the effects of the
war and more generations to pay for
the war. in cash alone"
The speaker then went on to say
that it was like dressing to think
that by joining lea CUES and loahing
money would help the world now. He
said that if the stricken nations
would get to work, work u or Is
hours a day, they would soon forget
their hatred Of heart for each other
and produce so that tina other ma
tions OF the world would buy their
goods. This was described as the
first great step toward rehabilitation
and that the nations would soon stop
their whimperings and pay up. He
declared that there was no easy way
out Of the question and to pay to the
last penny would pass the burden to
the yet unborn genera ton.

name that Colby bore for many
years. The laws were of the year
1925 and are as follows: No student
without permission shall be absent
from his room after nine o'clock in
the night. No student shall keep
firearms or any deadly weapon
whatever. He shall bring no gun
powder upon the college. premises;
nor shall cats or dogs be kept by

time smoke pipe or cigar in any

would be very evident that the the
