BY OLIVER p. NEWMAN,
Former Commissioner Of the District of
Columbia.

Columbia
A BRITTLE, waspish, little man
" paced angrily back and forth
~ before an ornate mahogany
4 n desk. Sharp brown eyes, set
slightly close together, glared out
from under drawn broWs above an eagle
beak nose. One vagrant wisp of
grayish-sandy hair reared up on his
head like a ROSTERS crest, giving him
the appearance of a fighting cock
watchful, wary belligerent-quick to see
danger and quick to strike-gamey, un-
afraid
Tell 'em I won't do it," rasped the
little fellow, wiry and alert, but hardly
more than 5 feet p inches tall. AS
he spoke his lips curled in scorn. He
taiked-as is his perpetual habit-out
OF the right corner of his mouth. In
stead OF drawing the corner down, how
ever, ike a curbStone tough, he drew it
up. His speech would have been a snarl
except for its rich. full, mellow South
ern tones, which often rise to pene-
tratlng vibration, but which cannot be
disguised or made harsh even by what
seems to be his testy temper.
But, Senator" protested his politi-
calIy-mlnded secretary zone ear to the
ground and one eye on the next cleo
tom, this petition is from the Amer
lean Legion. It's signed by thousands
ana thousands of voters. You can't
turn it down"
A quick gesture waved the secretary's
caution impatiently aside. The pene-
trating voice from the twisted lip con-
tinued.
I've got it," rolled out Of the up
n1teo corner CT the grim mouth. Take
this: Dear Mister whatever his name
Isl: l have received your petition to
vote for the soldiers bonus. I am
against the bonus and shall vote against
1t. | would vote against it even If your
petition were signed by every man,
woman and child in Virginia"
Enigma of Politicians.
There was more to the letter-reason-
ing, logic, argument-but this was the
glst OF 1t. and it was signed, sealed,
stamped and mailed. It's author was
Carter Glass, the political paradox, the
enigma land horror of politicians who
assume that man must be a trimmer,
buffer, a log-roller and a back
scratcher II he wants to hold his job
and who cannot understand how Glass
can be elected and reelected in the
race OF his disregard of the feelings and
opinions of his constituents-a dis
regard which at times amounts to
violent Haunting of sacred political con-
ventionS
Carter Glass caustic sarcasm, his
contempt for bluff and pretense-vig-
orously expresseo-his scorn of igno-
rance In individuals pretending erudi-
ton, his tmpatience at delay or eva
sion, his personal manners which at
times seem almost boorish. his fiat re-
fusal to "soft-soap" any interest or
person and his frequent moods Of ap-
parent grumpiness would seem to be
calculated to drive friends and sup
porters away from him.
But despite oil these and many othes

the idea that he is licked as a fact.
He never does accept it; he keeps on
fighting He is a bulldog for hanging
on-and herein lies the explanation of
some OF his apparently bad manners.
When Glass is fighting or hanging
onto a position of advantage with
death grip he is not conscious of any
thing else. He can-and doeS-meet
his best friends face to face and never
see them. On the streets of his home
town of Lynchburg, in the corridors Of
the Capitol, he passes by men and
women whom he knows well without
being conscious of their existence His
friends long ago stopped taking offense
at such seeming affrontS. VirginianS,
in fact, are a little proud that they
have a Senator so important, so i'm
mersed in big events that he doesn't
know they're on earth. This personal
characteristic, a natural evidence of a
power of terrific concentration, has ac
tually become something of tradition
in the Old Dominion, where men take
pride in telling stories of how Carter
Glass ignored them.
That power of concentration explains
many things in Glass career. 1t ex-
plains, for example, the part he is
playing today in helping to shape finan-
cial legislation of the most critical
character. Who is this little fellow?
Why is he possessed of such power?
Briefly, Carter Glass has simply made
better mouse trap than anybody else,
and the world has worn a path to his
door. And he's done his job by con-
centrattng on it, Curiously. he became
a financial economist by accident.
When he was elected to Congress in
1902 he knew no more about finance
than the average small town editor. He
had a smattering Of knowledge of the
subject Gas he had Of a thousand
others, but he really didn't care much
for figures" He loved history and
knew history He'd been reading history
ever since he was boy-world history,
as well as American-and he thought
he'd like a place on the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
Guessed He Could Learn.
John Sharp Williams was at that time
minority (Democratic) leader of the
House. He took an instant liking to the
peppery red-head from Virginia.
Glass was put on the Committee on
Public Lands, about which he knew
nothing and cared less. Weeks after,
western man who wanted to go on
Public Lands arranged to have Williams
and the Speaker transfer Glass to
a Banking and Currency vacancy In
order to make a place for the Western
man on Public Lands.
III put you on Banking and Cur
rency," said williams.
"All right" Glass replied through the
corner of his mouth, "Is don't know
anything about banking and currency,
but guess I can learn"
I'm sure you can," Williams assured
him, and added, you'll find it much
more interesting and it viii give you
much greater opportunity to distinguish
yourself" He little dreamed of the
significance Of that prediction.
Before he'd finished his first COM

and he hated to be twitted about it.
He retaliated by fighting. From the
time he could toddle he fought other
boys. He was quick in resentment. He
had the temper of the red-head and
he was as furious in attack with his
fists then as he has been with his
tongue during the IS years of his pub
lie career.
Keeps on Fighting.
AS boy he could not be defeated.
He could be licked by an older and
much bigger boy. but the idea that he
could be beaten was something that
his mind could not and would not ac-
eept. He would fight again and again
and again-until victorious. The same
trait sticks out ali through his public
career. He can be licked In fight
on legislations but be cannot accept

were adequate means of communica-
ton
Finally, from the metropolitan point
of view. it is calculated that unem-
ployment would be greatly relieved by
the manufacture of all the material
required for a railroad several thou
sand miles long
The opponents Of the scheme take
their stand principally on financial
arguments. They assert that such a
line could never be made to pay and
that in the long run it would be the
French budget that would suffer.

20 years-among the foremost Of the
doctors who are endeavoring to cure
the Nations sick finances. In 1918 he
wrote the Federal Reserve act: he Is

the minority party of the Senate-tak-
ing a leading part in helping to frame
the country's emergency financial leg

from him, Carter Glass "oneriness" (as
it is called by those against whom it is
reared) has brought him a strength

That is a surprising phenomenon, and
one which provides ample food for
thought. We know that after the fall
of the Roman Empire, Central and
Western Europe was well populated;
yet it took more than Is centuries for
that population to increase from 100,-
100000 to 10000, 900. Then suddenly,
in single century, the population of
the continent grew by 100000 900 souls!
What is the explanation of this unique
development in the history of the
world?
Is it the almost total elimination of
famine, or progress in the matter of
hygiene, or the diminution in the
wholesale slaughter Of human beings?

Judge Cochrans announcement
came during grilling examination
OF Walter p Smith, county attorney
Of Bell county. who wrote the mad
dog and other letters. in which he
dared HAYS and MS party to visit
his county.
In reply 10 an intersection by
Dudley Field Malone, Smith re-
marked.

In France" Malone instantly was
on his feet, objecting to the state
ment
When you've tried as many cases
as have and before as MANY
courts Malone said, you'll be a
very fortunate young man. Il will
be long time before you have
built up a reputation as I have
and I resent the implied slur In
the statement that I am a divorce
lawyer"
Judge Cochran cautioned Smith
that he was doing his case no good.
Would you use your influence
and power to protect us in the ex-
ercise Of our constitutional rights
If We came to PinevilIe?s HAYS
asked time and again.

plane does? Well, that's exactly how the
albatross largest of water birds, gets into the
air.
Most birds you know. start their flight BY
jumping into the air and vibrating their wiffss.
But the albatross uses another system. This
bird lives almost entirely IN the air, coming
30 the water only to snatch q fsh for food.
It has the largest wing expanse among birds,
its wings sometimes measuring as much rs II
feet from tip TO tip. And its large feet have
webbed toes
When the albatross wants to take OF there
fore, he spreads his wings out stiff like the
wings Of an airplane, and then runs along
the water with his webbed feet As he picks
up speed. the air gets under his wings aze1n
raises him. And that's exactly the principal
by which an airplane rises.
Sometimes the albatress must run as much
