LETTER E
.,RNG 81

WASHINGTON man who sue
ceeds Wayne B. Wheeler as legislative
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league must have these qualifications:
IA cool head.
2-The gift of humor.
3-Adequate political experience.
4,-Organizing ability.
5-Ability OH the platform.
This list was suggested by an
officer of the league, who pointed
out that those were the attributes
which made Wheeler the great man
he was.
cts whale of a job to control
congress-" this official said.
It's such a whale of a job that
no one in the league is trying hard
to get it, You may have seen stories
to the effect that there was rush
of reformers" after the big Job, but
that doesn't appear to be true. The
man who succeeds Wheeler will have
to be drafted.
There are number of possibilities
but each one knows that he will have
to be compared with Wheeler as soon
as he assumes office Some of them
don't want the job and would refuse
it if it we're offered to them. An
indication of the situation the league
faces was seen in its prompt decision
to split up the jobs of legislative
superintendent and general counsel,
both of which Wheeler held for six
or seven years.
Edward Bradford Dunford, Wheel
er's legal assistant, will take the
latter and least important job.
Wheeler often said that Dunford had
the keenest legal mind the world
ever knew"
The new legislative superintendent
will be selected in December.
incidentally, the league official
quoted at the outset of this story
lid that the cool head and the
gift of nrlmor were the most i'm
portant essentials of all.
Wheeler was an intense little figure,
whose favorite gesture was an out
thrust fist, but he knew that while
some legislators could only be coerced
by strong-arm methods others could
be won only by sugar. His own brand
Of humor was always on tap and
often he more than held his own
against heckling audience by virtue
Of it.
But in the debate with Clarence
Darrow at New York early this year
he couldn't put himself over. Little
groups in the audience chanted In
unison, 1--WE Want Beerp over and
over again, breaking up his speech.
It was the first time, according to
his friends, that the Wheeler plat
form power had not prevailed against
A hostile crowd. He was, however,
a sick man.
They had known within the league
for more than a year that Wheeler
was doomed. League folk admit that
they lied about his health. Several
times in the last 18 months he was
near death, but he was credited with
great vitality. Then came the terrible
tragedy in which Wheeler's wife was
burned to death.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES. J. MONTAGUE
lie 7OEl
NNea~-

It is noble to toll, sings the poet.
To work by the sweat of the brow,
To gather the yield OF the sun beaten
field -,
Or to follow the harrow and plow.
No life like the life of the worker
Who dwclls in his lowly thatched
cot
Eating plain hcmely fare from a
hard wooden chair
And is always content with his lot.
But the poet would rather, if left
to himself,
Pluck tune on his Tyre for pelf.
It is fine to be brave, sings the
poet,
A tryst with stern peril to keep,
Where the staunch vessels sway
through the storm driven spray
AS they fare through the dangerous
deep,
To gaze on grim death through the
spindrift
In the midst of the reel and the
roll
And to play bold part with a song
in his heart
Is a tonic to every mans soul.
Yet the poet is seldom abroad on
the foam ~
He usually sticks around home.
It is. splendid to fight, sings the poet,
T joust IS the knights did of Old
To deal blow for blow with the
pulses aglow
And to knock the opponent out cold
Men rot with life of inaction
They grow with the impact of strife.
To live at ones ease is to sap by
degrees
The vast. vital forces of life.
Yet the poet prefers to sit round
by the fire
And cheerily pluck at his Tyre.
