DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE TO MIR.
 LONGWORTH.

While the New York Times is an independent newspaper in that it is not bound to any political organization it is Jeffersonan in its thought and leans toward the Democratic Party It is generally regarded since the suspension of the New York World as the leading Democratic publication in the United States Therefore it's tribute to the late Speaker Longworth is without partisan bias and worthy of special consideration. The Times, com menting upon MT. Longworth and his worth to the Republican Party, said:
 The Republican Party has lost its strong est leader in Congress by the death of Speaker Nicholas Longworth. But every Representative, whatever bloc or party, will feel that he has lost friend. And wide circle national and international one in affection for human being of rare person. aty, high ability and unchalenged integ- rity, will mourn the untimey passing of one of the most companionabe men who ever held important office in the United States.

That was effective in drawing to him ties of personal friend ship even his political foes In addition, he had real force and courage together with consumate parliamentary skill He could match himself, and often did, with the best equipped of his adversaries. In tnat rough cofnpat oi oepate WHICH ueiightS the House MT. Longworth could hold his own.
 If the thrust humorous he sent good he received He could silence, and in private contact. civize the most obstre- porous "hick" Congressman who to the House in boots Complaints about his direction of the legislative business were always pro forma; he ran the House with firm hand as the rules and varying majorites permitted; but he was generous with individuals and always helped new members to make their way if they had the human materials
