Private Interests

Two Of the incidents which have
related as examples showing how
private interests sought advan-
tages in Congress involve the Wis
consin organization. But Wiscon-
sin was no whit worse than 9TH
er States.
While Sawyer and Payne were
getting things for their home cor
porations" Quay was getting
things for his and Aldrich for his,
and German for his corporations.
And they all traded back and
forth, Sawyer helping Aldrich and
Quay in getting what they wanted,
and they helping him to get what
he wanted.
cases, such as I have mentioned,
and 1t was some time before l
learned how thoroughly all these
interests worked together, each
serving the other
1t was in my second term that I
crossed the trail of the national or
ganizations of both parties med
ding in legislation for corporate
interests.
In the session before the presi-
Dental campaign of 1883 an effort
was made to pass the Nicaraguan
Canal bill. Congressman Haugen
and 1 had been active in opposing
this bill. One day we received
an invitation to visit Senator Saw
yer in his committee room at the
Senate end OF the Capitol and did
so. When we arrived we found
Senator Sawyer and the famous
Col. William w. Dudley.
Colonel Dudley was chairman OF
the executive committee Of the ma
tional Republican committee. He
was a most genial man personally,
a brave soldier of the Civil War,
who left a leg at Gettysburg. But
he was an old.school politician
and practical.

that the color acquired the title
OF Blocks -of-five Dudley" through
the publication of letter to an
Indiana follower giving minute in
structions as to how voters should

lieutenants and voted in blocks

When we entered the room,
Sawyer said:
"I have called you boys here
to talk with you about the Mica
raguau Canal bill. I hear you are
ag'in It. Now that bill is all right,
and ought to pass. Dudley here
knows RI about It. Dudley, you
tell the 1oys about It,"
Colonel Dudley argued that 1t
was very essential that the mea-
sure then on the House calendar
should pass before adjournment
OF the session. Not meeting with
any favorable response from
IIaugen and myself, he finally ap.
pealed to us in the interests OF
the Republican party. and stated
that II the bill wss permitted to

LAFAYETTE HOME ORPHANAGE French Woman Tells Of Work At
 American Memorial In Chavanica.

You should see them play baseball. They love it and we had to give them the best field, although our farmer objected because the cows pastured there," says the Boston Transcript. In that way Madame Charles LeVerrier, wife of the perfect of the college of the city of Paris, spoke of the recre- ational work that her "children"-- three hundred in number---sre doing at the birthplace of Lafayette in the an- cient village of Chavanica in the Au- vergne or southern part of France.
 The birthplace, comprising a chateau, the foundations of which date back to the tenth century, and nearly one hun dred acres, has been bought by group of Americans and has been turned into a haven for refugee children and or phans. Madame LeVerrier, a native of France, is the leading figure in making n brief tour in this country.
 Although the chateau may be termed an orphanage, it is also a museum. Many of Lafayette's personal belong ings are there, including brace of P tols given him by George Washing ton, a ring of Benjamin Franklin, and lockets containing some of the hair of George and Martha Washington.
 Still, the orphanage part is the more interesting and certainly it has the greater human appeal. When Madame LeVerrier arrived at the chateau she found the old homestead almost unfit for habitati0n. American soldiers sta tioned nearby helped get the chateau ready. The women expected twenty children.

There is as much difference be- tween a great picture seen with excel lent music by a large symphony or ehestra and the same picture seen with out the orchestra as there is between bread and butter and just bread, some body has said, and Birmingham will have an opportunity to view its motion pictures served with the best of orehes- tral accompaniment when the.

 Realizing this remarkable truth and believing that Birmingham will ap- preeiate really excellent music the management has engaged the Temple Theatre orchestra, composed of 20 ar lists and directed by Fred Stark, of New York and Washington, that it's pa trons may get the fullest enjoyment out of every picture that is exhibited, it is pointed out.
