bath lived too lively lives for that.
Why, sometimes when he sent for me
to talk over some matter Of official
business he would start in with a
story about the West; and when he
did that he was as likely as not to
ask me If I didn't recall some parallel
to it, in the early days in Indiana
for he knew the history of the West
better than any historian I ever met.
"Then, too, I often got the impress
sion, when Roosevelt started a discus.
sion over some governmental policy.
that what he was really doing was
trying it out-sometimes arguing the
question so as to find out what opposi-
ton there would be to his ideas, and
sometimes just to clarity his own
views by thrashing the subject out
from every point Of view.
More Often Disagreed.
Don't get the idea that we gener-
ally agreed; as matter Of fact, we
more often disagreed in the talks we
had in those seven years. There were
many new advances then in legisla-
ton and administration, and we ap-
preached them from two different
angles. We hardly ever disagreed in
principle, but very often about prac-
tical methods. He had the outlook
Of an executive, ambitious to do
things; had that of a legislator,
concerned with how to do them-and
how to pay for them. So these talks

different schools of government by
men OF opposite theories, both Of
whom recognized that there were two
sides to every question"
I smiled. Yes said Uncle Joe, In
terpreting 1t and smiling too, lots OF
people wouldn't believe that last about
either one Of US: but it was true just
the same, as you know. And think
that was one of the chief reasons why
Roosevelt wanted to thrash things out
with me SO often and so long.
I'm fact. know he often brought
up things he knew I would oppose, so
that he could hear my reasons. These
were generally suggestions made to
him by others which he liked the look
of; and in such cases, even when /
convinced him that they wouldn't
work, he would defend them to draw
out everything I had to say. Some
times actually didn't know whether
he was defending them in earnest or
just to get the last drop of argument
that they were impracticable.

new theories of Federal power. Roose.
welt would listen to any one who had
an original idea, or thought he had,
no matter how absurd; but in telling
me about them he used to laugh over
the way in which he had permitted
the latest genius to present something
entirely new, so new, in fact, that he
had read about it when a boy in school
and had long since forgotten it.
''The thing back Of all these con-
ferences, though, was that in dealing
with me he was dealing with the
House. That is not true Of the speak
ership now, but it was then, for the
Speaker was a spokesman; he spoke
with authority for the majority Of
the Representatives. Under the sys-
tenn that then governed, the Speaker
was their voice. The legislation pend
ing before the House committees was
brought to the Speakers room by the
committee chairman for discussion,
and that room was a clearing house,
the only clearing house for the pres
entation Of the majority views on
what should be done or not done.
After such a discussion the Speaker
could intelligently present the ma
jority view to the President.
Was Workable Plan.
'It was a workable plan and it
worked. And Roosevelt, whatever he
may have permitted the insurgents
to think, conferred with the Speaker
on all proposed legislation through
out his administration. Though Mr..
Cannon did not say so in this talk, it
is the fact that President Roosevelt
continued to confer with him in this
way even after their personal quarrel
near the end of the administration.
Il don't believe" he continued, :'that
Mr.. Roosevelt ever made any serious
recommendation to Congress without
first talking it over with me, and at
his request, would sound out the
leaders in the House mad let him know
what they thought about it.
"The reason for that was that
Roosevelt did not want to waste time
recommending legislation that
wouldn't pass. He had no desire to
write messages just for the sake of
writing them. He wanted results. II
he couldn't get all he wanted, he
wanted all he could get. He wanted,
too, to get them with the least pos
sible friction. He was a good sport,
and took it cheerfully if the legisla-
ton conformed to his recommends
ton even in part"

ORATORS TO FIGHT
TIME IN CONTEST
Ten-Minute Address Win Be
Strictly Enforced, With
Whistles Aid.

Two days remain-and the 10 sur
viving orators of this region in the
| Fourth National Oratorical Contest
are preening themselves and their
| orations for The Star finals, the com
| petition that will determine which one
Of them will sail for Europe. July 2.
The winner in Wednesdays crucial
meeting will win not only European
tour and cash award OF $500, but
the right to represent this region
embracing the District of Columbia,
MARYLAND and Virginia--in the ma
tional finals to be held in the Audi
torium, May q.
Time, as has been announced ire
quently, will be enforced with ruthless
accuracy in the national contest, and
so the same 10-minute time ruling Will
be adhered to in The Star finals. A
final warning is issued today to the 10
contestants and the administration Of
that time is explained.
Armed With Whistle.
Mai. Edwin B. Hesse, superintend-
ent of the District Of Columbia Police
Department, will be the official time
keeper. He will be armed with an ac-
curate timepiece and a whistle such
as Is used in foot ball games.
The chairman will introduce the
contestant. After he has taken his po-
sition on the stage, the orator will ad-
dress the chairman and any other per-
son or group of persons he might wish
to include in his salutation. With the
first word of is grafton prOper-that is,
the contents Of his speech, exclusive
Of the address to the presiding officer
Maj. Hesse will begin counting time.
H,A NJ MI
grafton before the allowed 10 minutes
are over, well and good, but If he is
speaking when the allotted time ex-
ptres, Maj. Hesse will sound a blast
on the whistle. One word spoken
after that blast and the contestant
will be disqualified. However, If he
stops at once, even in the middle of a
sentence, the orator will be judged
by what he will have said prior to the
expiration Of the time.
The same system of timing will be
enforced at each of the three units
Of The Star finals, and each Of the 10
contestants will be accorded the same
discipline.
Lone Girl Winner.
Interesting comparisons are being
made between the 10 orators who
have survived the district contests
in The Star area and those who are
winning newspaper and State cham
pionships in the other six regions of
the contest. So far, nine State or
newspaper representatives in semi
final contests have been chosen, and
while there are seven boys and three
girls awaiting the regional finals here,
eight of the State winners are boys
and only one girl in the other zones.
The ages of contestants in this
region and in other regions, however,
are almost identical. The Star win
ners are slightly older than their CO.
temporaries, for the average age Of
the nine Outside" contestants is 1914
years, while The Star winners strike
an average age Of 1914 years.
Deemed Strong Contender.
One of the most interesting situa-
tons in the contest in other zones lies
in the victory of Carl Albert of Nc

Uncle Joe Cannon selected this
from a pile of notes written him by
Theodore Roosevelt, President OF the
Tinted States, and handed 1t over tc
me. "That one," he said, was writ
ten at the time when the newspapers
were full of stories about how the
President and the Speaker were
either tearing each others hair out
or about to do SO. It's a good eX'
ample Of a good many others. For
that matter, the papers never did
give up the fear or hope that some
day we would commit bodily violence
on each other.

He handed over some more. Some
were addressed mfr. Speaker" some
.Arr Cannon" some Dear Friend,
sorne "ITncle Joe," and some Gear

dents mood and the formality of the
occasion. Many Of them included
suggestions made to him, ridiculous In
themselves, but offered in all serious
ness. which so appealed TO ms sense
tof hunor that he just had to pass
them along to Mr.. Cannon. AT one
time tho newspapers were reporting
that while everything was serene on
E4he surface, the President was max

New Yorker Urges st.
Lawrence Sea Route

The greatest problem confronting
the Middle West now is the building
of the ST. Lawrence waterway, DR.
Frank Dohn of the New York Times
told more than 700 Wisconsin bank
ers Wednesday at the opening ses-
sion of the Wisconsin Bankers as
ISOLATION.
"The St. Lawrence project will not
only be the greatest hydroelectric
development of this generation" he
said, "but eventually it will bring as
over five millions of horse power.
"That development will be one of
the three great human tasks in
ocean transportation. The first was
the Suez. The second was Panama"
Declaring that Norfolk, Va, could
lay as many bricks for 40 cents as
Milwaukee could for 81, and that a
carload of goods from the Southern
seaboard cities to the Pacific coast
costs just half what it costs Middle
Western cities, Mr.. Bohn declared
that unless the industrial Middle
West coupled cheap power with trans
portation it would lose it's place as
the greatest economic unit in the
world.
Throw the locomotive onto the
scrap heap as relic of the nineteenth
century," he said. "For the coming
twenty-five years electrical power
will be the center of interest. With
in twenty-five years you bankers are
going to arrange one hundred billions
of credit to reorganize the Ameri-
can industries on the new basis"
