Another picturesque figure of the
House of Representatives also belongs
on the Democratic side-Representa-
i've Edgar Howard of the third dis
trlct of Nebraska. II is difficult at
times to tell whether Mr.. Howard
reminds you OF Henry Irving or Of
william Jennings Bryan. II is said
his intent Is to look like the latter,
Tor he was private secretary to the
Commoner when the latter was In
Congress. Mr.. Howard affects the
Bryan style OF haircut, or lack Of IT.
and also wears a dark blue cape with
velvet collar.
Representative Howard is editor Of
a country newspaper and is proud OF
II. In writing his own biographical
| sketch for the Congressional Direc
tory he refers to the fact that at one
time he was lieutenant governor Of
Nebraska and proceeds TO qualify this
by adding that he was holding con
temporaneously the higher office OF
editor of a country newspaper" There
is the further boast that he Is "stin

says among other things that he was
married at lawful age" and is still
married He started in religion" as
Quaker, but Of late years has been

But the real hero Of the House
these days. especially among the
visitors from the Middle West, IS
Representative Fred Britten of Illinois
the man who is given sole credit fol.

Britten is hailed as the man who hs <
proved to the country that the Middle
West still is d part Of the United
States. He is hailed as the man who

knows Fred BTitten would ever ac-
cuse him of suffering from anv sor'
OF lnferiority complex, for there is
no more popular member of the House
ana no congressman of any greater
influence In Washington. Only q
Fred Britten could nut over that Army

Jesus is a supreme optimist. Stand
ing at the very outermost edge or His
tragic life, certain of His impending
doom, He speaks word of sublime
announcement to His half-hearted
followers. Already the shadow of the

1gnomlniouS defeat seemingly marked
His brief career.
In the chapter from which the above
words are taken He had been talking
intimately with His disciples. 1t was
not an encouraging program that He
presented to them. He declared,
They shall put you out of the syna-
gogues; yes. the time cometh that,
whosoever 'killeth you will think that
he doeth Gods service" No leader had
ever called His followers to a service
that involved greater sacrifice. The
wonder Is that they did not inlmedi-
ately forsake Him. True, they did
subsequently falter, but once the
period of apostasy was past they be-
came heroic and invincible.

no single figure on the horizons OF

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T.. SMALL.

Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas,
! the farmers next best friend, has
| arisen to remark that he is not in the
| field for the next Republican presi
dental nomination. The riSe in power
of the farm element in the @. o. p.
! has given impetus to the talk of the
| availability of Senator Capper, and
| while it is never displeasing to a man
| to be considered for the highest office
| in the gift of the people, Mr.. Capper
announces that he is welded to the
| United States Senate and wants to
| remain just where he is.
| In a way the pronunciamento from
| Senator Capper Is a tribute to the
Senate. That august body has been
belabored hip and thigh in recent
years by critics large and critics small,
That man OF the caliber of Senator
Capper should wish to remain in the
| Senate means that he has high regard
| for this branch of Congress or feels
! that he can do something to help the
Senate back to it's place in the public
| esteem.
! Discussing the situation with the
| writer, Senator Capper said:
| The truth Is. have never had an
ambition to be President, and, further
| more, 1 shall never be candidate for
| that Office or any other office than the
| one I now hold. I frankly admit l
| like the Senate, and it is quite likely
| that l shall have the same old light
ring rod out for reelection to the
| United States Senate when my present
term expires In 1890. That's the only
| kind of lightning rod that interests
me. There Is no basis for gossip, If
there Is any gossip which connects me
with presidential aspirations"
Outside of Speaker Nick Longworth
! the most sought out figure in the
| House of Representatives these days
| Is Maj. Charles Manly Stedman, Rep
resentative from the fifth district of
! North Carolina. National attention
| was directed anew to Maj. Stedman II q
! few days ago when the House helped
him celebrate the eighty-fifth anniver.
| sary of his birth. and when he is on
| the floor of the House he is easily
| picked out among his Democratic
| colleagues.
| Maj Stedman is not only the oldest
| member of the House, but is the only
! veteran Of the War between the States
| left in that body. He fought under
| Robert L. Lee and to many he looks
| very much like the famous Southern
| leader. Some visitors Of the House
! gallery recently remarked that Maj
| Stedman looked as if he had just
| stepped out of some old painting OF
off the side of Stone Mountain, where
