doubt he is independent, as afore-
said, and very probably he is a
republican, but that remains to be
proved.
Certainly he is the appointee of
Governor R. c. Dillon, republican
governor, of New Mexico, whose
election Cutting helped to bring
about. Before that, however, he
was instrumental in the election
of Dillon's predecessor, a demo
crat. Also he supported the late
Senator Andrieus A. Jones, a
democrat who died, and whose
seat Cutting inherits, at least until
the election this year. Whether
he can exert the same influence
upon the voters for himself as he
can for others also is another OF
the questions on the lap of the
gods.
Cutting, now an Independent re-
publican, has bivouaced in three
major political camps. He enter
ed politics with Roosevelt, not as
a republican, but as a bull mooser.
He took the retirement of the old
Rough Rider very much to heart,

and won out. 1t may have been
out of gratitude or it may have
been in recognition of merit, that
Governor Dillon appointed him to
succeed Senator Jones when his
death was recorded shortly after
the opening of the present Con
gress.
Senator Cutting is 80 years old.
He is a bachelor. AS such he is
welcomed by the social bloc, be-
wealthy, personable bache-
lors in high places are a great
rarity. What his course will be
in national affairs, what influence
he will exert in either or both OF
the old parties, only time, and Cut

Cutting himself would not hazard
a guess.

The senate has a new senator
and new color in its chambers.
He is Bronson Cutting, scion OF
an old Eastern family who has
done n of two notable things.
Either he has adapted himself to
the West, or he has adapted the
West to himself. and there is
much disagreement as to which is
which.
Cutting is a newspaper man.
He is something of a politician,
with a new line. He is an invet-
crate traveller, both as to parties
and geographically speaking, and
he is wealthy and he is indepen-
dent. Also he is %personable and
well set up.
He labels himself an %indepen-
dent republican, and there is
much speculation to see if he
means what he says. Without

1t is ten years ago this week
since this establishment began
to dispense good clothing to
men and boys. That means
ten years of constant endeavor
to give this town and commun-
ity the very best kind of a
clothing store. Ten years of
pleasant occupation dealing
with pleasant folks who ap-
preciate quality merchandise.
During that time there has
existed a variety of conditions.
We have had good crop condi-
tions and those not so good.
We have had years, following
the war, when prices were ex-
brilliantly high and years when
they we're not so high. There
were years when nearly all
branches of railroading were
represented here, years when
this trade was materially les
sened and then the last year
or two when very little remain
ed. Still, in spite of all these
different conditions in all these
different years February 1928
with US bids fair to out-rivaI
all these past Februarys in
total volume of business.

The recent death of Colonel
George w. Goethals, builder OF
the Panama canal, recalls one OF
the most romantic phases of
American achievement, backed by
the soundest of engineering prac-
tice.
Colonel Goethals, it will be re-
membered, cut the big ditch
through in the face of almost in
superable difficulties, not alone
those of engineering, which to his
mind were the simplest, but of
policies and sanitation. His first
act. after receiving the instruc-
tions to build the canal, was to es-
tablish sanitary camps where
American engineers and army men
might live in comfort and safety.
Then he attacked the problems in
volved in digging his way through
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Around Washington, upon his
death, went the story of his reply
TO then President-elect Taft, who
visited the canal just before as
Stunning office.
After Goethals had been in Of
flee a year, the Gatum locks, mas
sive. costly, began to sink. A cry
of despair arose. Mr.. Taft, mind
full of the high office he was about
IN assume. wen to Panama.
well" he said to Colonel Goe-
thals, what are you going to do?
Build a canal?"
Said the Army man: 81 can
build you a lock canal, or l can
build o a sea level canal, which
ever you wish. Or, if you want
neither, l can pack up and go
home"
Build a lock canal" said the
President-elect. He got it.
Later. when the job seemingly
was finished, in 1913, came the
big slide at Caucaracha. Again
despair enveloped those who had
struggled long and bravely to
achieve the seemingly impossible.
Colonel Cocktails associates were
ready to surrender. They called
for him to inspect the debacle.
What shall we do now" an as
sistant said, as the Colonel arrly-
ed on the scene. Thousands upon
thousands of tons of earth lay in
the big ditch that been so care
fully excavated.
Hell. dig it out again." replied
Goethals. and that was his only
comment. They dug it out again,
this time to stay, and in 1914 the
lob was finished and Goethals was
hailed as a genius.

CLOSE-UPS in The
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen Jamesl

Representative Will r. Wood,
of Indiana, enlightened the Con-
gress and the nation recently on
the clerical army in the employ
ment of the government.
We now have, he says, 559,13S
employees in the Executive Civil
Service. During the past year AZ
063 persons were appointed to the
service. for which 499 different
examinations were required.
In the District of Columbia, ac-
cording to Representative Wood,
there are $4,000 employees, virtu-
ally one-tenth of the entire num-
Der upon Uncle Sans pay rolls.
OF these 35,567 are men and "a
233 are women.
The Post Office department is
credited with the largest number
of employees, having virtually one
half of the whole. But only 1906
of the total number of 3O8,74 in
the mail service are established in
Washington. The Treasury De-
partment has the largest number
of persons in Washington with
1000, while it's total roll numbers
51,532, counted the country over.
The Navy has 43,425 employees, of
whom 5,576 are in the Capital city.
Next in this order comes the de-
partment of agriculture with a
roll of 21,702 persons, of whom,
4.S31 live in Washington.
Altogether 267,340 persons
sought employment of Uncle Sam
in 1927. About one out of every
six was successful in the quest.

VI thought of philosophy concern
i ing tennis. 1t is the great
world resort of tennis players
OF outstanding distinction one week
every. year. and in the current week no
less than in the past. interesting ma
terial for thought and discussion has
developed. according TO cable aoviceS

When the members of the Wightn1an
Cup team came to America last year
every one Of the players was equipped
with eight racketS, a surprisingly mod
est supply in view of the Shipload of
bats which Tilden, for instance. has
available in his European invasionS. In
addition 10 the racketS he takes with
him. Tilden has more awaiting him in
Paris and London. They are frames
merely, not strung. He prefers to have
the Stringing done abroad usually, they
say, with French gut
Tllden manages to make use of al
most his entire supply. since he has
habit which is very pleasing to hero
worshippers abroad of giving away
many rackets as souvenirs Francis

after another as match progresses.

that in the course Of year she had
used about 40 of them.
1t will be interesting TO learn just how
the Americans have reacted to the
practice of English players of having
one rather loosely strung racquet in
their kit These are called "Slackers." !"
and the theory is that in a hard match
the impact of a tightly-strung bat
especially in the arm or shoulder. which
accentuates players fatigue. Through
resort at such time to the Stacker
the tired player is better able to con-
troll the ball and to proceed with less
WEAKNESS,
The idea Is not so new as it might
sound. Norman Brookes, years ago,
used a racquet that suggested, as it
were. an entomologiSt's scoop net. With
it he performed valiant service. but
latter he abandoned it in favor OF
more tightly strung bat.
The complaint that since the war
racquetS do not stand up as they used
to is discounted by English experts on
the ground that it is quite impossible
for them to endure in view OF the
current demand for light racquets which
must be tightly stroung. 1t Is pretty
much to ask that a racquet of 1912
ounces keep its tension any length of
time in view of the punishment it gets.
Very few star players these days use
The old 15-ounce or 14l2-ounce racquets.
Tilden some vars ago advocatd 13 and
some fraction ounces and the world has
followed in his train.
