| WASHINGTON. When Uncle
! George Norris of Nebraska finally
, caves the senate, as he is again
Threatening to do, there viii be =
certain regret in this prosaic town
such as would attend the passage OF
few other human cogs in the fed
cral government
Norris has his enemies, for he's
fighter, But there is less peanut
EoIitics and more genuine sincerity
and honesty of purpose in this 61-
year old war horse than in almost
any other member of congress. It's
hard to find anyone who won't ad-
nit as much, whether they like
Norris or not.
Norris is Il simple, unaffected, old-
fashioned old cuss, with an old
fashioned floppy, square-cut bow tie
wrinkled old-fashioned high shoes
and plain, ordinary clothes HIS
lack of sartorial tretensions goes
along with a prediction to old
fashioned horse sense. His speech
is no more pompous than his man.
Fer He doesn't talk about Congress
in its WISDOM doing this and tina,
and he doesn't play to- the galleries.
The old fellows head noltes itselr
up above The clouds sometimes, bus
his feet are generally on the ground.
One of the most justified criticisms
of even the best senators is that
very few Of them have the intes-
tinal stamina to wage bosinglc-
handed, long ana bitter fight for Il
principle in the face of huge odGs.
That sort of thing, which incidentally
gave Hiram Johnson's prestige .
tremendous boost in the last con-
gress, is the best sort of thing
"Urcle George" does.
He came to the house a partisan
republican. soon he began to OBJ
serve the indecencics and the ru-
tilities of peanut politics. He be-
came more and more independents

Uncle George is getting little
moony in mis- old age. The trouble

EXCHANGE TRADE
B. & O. Buys Western Mary
land From Rockefeller,
Report.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb 2.-Reports
that John D. Rockefeller had sold a
large interest in Western Maryland
railway impaired strength to that
issue in early dealings on the stock
exchange here today. The market
in general was firm with several lead
ing issues scoring good advances.
Maneuvers
The initial sale of Western Mary
land was at 81, up a point, and in
the first fifteen minutes it had risen
another half point. Speculative ma
neuvers again were evident in
Wheeling & Lake Erie, sending the
issue up Q points to 661s. New Ha-
ven, B. G. O., Erie, New York Cen
trail, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
and Northern Pacific also moved
higher. Athison and C. & o. were
.fractionally lower.
Broadening Of the buying move
'fnent in railroads checked the sell
ing of industrials and the market
was playing an upward trend around
noon. Issues with merger prospects
continued to head the forward move
ment in the carrier group. Lehigh
Valley engaged in another sharp up
rush, selling at 800, up more than 5
from it's recent low.
Rockefeller Sells
Strength in Western Maryland,
which maintained the best levels of
the current advance, was based on
the announcement overnight by Dow
Jones & Co. that the Rockefeller in
terests had disposed of holdings to
another railroad. 1t was later an
nounced here that this road was the
Baltimore & Ohio, although the lat
ter does not seek control 1t was be-
lieved that any interest shown by
the B. & o. in Western Maryland can
mean only better things for the lat
ter %oad
Quick rallies from early lows in
General Motors, Baldwin and other
Industrial leaders were followed by
resumption of bullish activities in
special issues. Consolidated Cigar
jumped 23s points, to S22s, respond
- ing to a showing Of better than $l2
a share for 1926.
