In any case, Mr. Hulls people were
politically not wholly Southern or wholly
Northern. Let us call them Westerners.
They were.
He came to birth among them in 1871.
The spot was about 100 miles or so from
the birthplace of Lincoln. It was in the
same sort of scenery, but rougher.
4 AR. HULL permitted only 10 years OF
'V' his life to 60 by before running for
Office In 1890 he was elected delegate
to the Tennessee Democratic State Com
vention.
His precociousness was-for those days
not so very unnormal. We hear much
nowadays about the new mission OF our
rising generation. We simultaneously
observe in both political parties most
unusual dominance by men of mature or
even of advanced age. Much is claimed
politically nowadays for the youngi
Little is achieved by them in party
councils.
Mr.. Hull, when note this fact in his
presence, always speaks to me OF the
miserably circumscribed lives of the gen.
Grafton with which he did his rising. Il
have inserted the word 'miSerably.~
There were then no motion picture
theaterS in which to scan the faces OF
statesmen in the news films. ALI that
could be done was to read their speeches.
Protracted excerpts from those speeches
were printed in fine type in the county
weekly.
Nor did the miserableness and barren
ness of the times stop there. The county
weekly was not merely the substitute
for the motion pictures. It was the
substitute also for the comic sections and

from a part Of the world
where people take exercise to earn their
livings. They don't take exercise-or
they didn't-for fun or for health. They
presumably were already healthy if they
had rolled enough stones out OF the
pasture.
The scene was Overton County, Tenn.
It is now Pickett County. It lies in the
eastern part of Tennessee, fast upon the
border of Kentucky. It is in the heart
of the first West.
Through that region went the men
and women and children-out Of Virginia
and North Carolina-who first performed
the tedious and titanic task of Surmount-
ing the wilderness of the Alleghenies
and of descending upon the wilderness
of the Western waters. They were rug
ged, and they found themselves at home
in a rugged country. Even in its ten
derer reaches it exhibited steep hillsides,
trees rooted mostly to rock and mere
occasional patches of opportunity for the
plow.
Mr.. Hulls people embraced that oppor-
tunity. His father-in addition to being
a timberman-was a farmer He was
also a Democrat.
But one must hasten to correct a pos
sible misapprehension. Mr.. Hull'S father
did not dwell in the deep South. He
married a woman whose family con-
tanned Republicans.
He thereupon saw some of his rela-
tives attired in blue and some in gray
during the unhappy alteration between
the two colors. His relatives, like most

Taking of Dispositions of Private Nature Until Before

A decision of the United States supreme court in the Antl-Sherman trust law case, Is the oasis for the stand taken by Attorney William !. Isarkln, Jr, that the hearing on the Gormley-Goss congressional seat contest shall be private, 1t was learned today. Tn that case, the supreme court held that the talk Ing of dispositions ordered by the federal attorney, arc of n private nature until thoy arc properly be- fere the tribunal that Is to hear them.
 Tho federal attorney in that case, sought to have the hearing on the deposition taking made public. ob- jections were raised and a test Of the issues was undertaken.
 The taking of depositions on tho contest for the seat of tho con gressman for the fifth district has been set for Thursday before Judge E. Emmet Shea, of tho probate court at Naugatuck. Ten witnesses will be heard to support the allega- tions of Judge Martin c. Gormley of Naugatuck.
 After the dispositions of tho witt nesses for Judge Gormlcy aro talk on, Attorney Larkin has 10 days to offer the dispositions of witness es for Congressman Edward W. Goss. After all dispositions are talk on, they will bo forwarded to the clerk of the House of Rcprcsen- tatives at Washington. They will then be turned over to the house committee on contested elections for deliberation.

 In that event, none but witness es. counsel and principals will be allowed at the hearing. Attorney John F. McDonough will repre- sent Judge Gormley.
 Attorney McDonoNgh stated to. day that the hearing will last sev- eral days, with the court sitting both at Naugatuck and in Ltch- field county, either Winsted or Tor rington,
 Attorney Larkin will have tho right to cross examine tho witness cs who offer testimony nt the hear ing on Thursday and Attorney Me- Donough will have the same right when witnesses for Congressman Goss arc testIfying.
 The question was raised today that if Attorney Larkin Is aware Of the supreme courts ruling on the matter, why did he not walt until the deposltions arrived at Wash ington and then offer the finding to have tho dispositions declared null and void. By that time tho 40 days time for m appeal on tho contest would have elapsed and Judge Gormley would have lost his oppor- tunity to be heard. It was explained that If Attorney Larkin had not raised the point at this time, It would bo considered as Il wnlvor or his part nt Washington, and the dcposltions would be declared lo- gally taken,

 The bill makes subject to United States veto, laws enacted by the local government. Tho right of intervention and control of foreign affairs also Is maintained.
 Toward tho end of the "proba- tionary' period American tariffs would be applied to Philippine exports, mounting to 90 per cent of the full rates during tho 10th year. Immigration restrictions would apply nt tho start and upon complete independence would be identical with those affecting other foreign nations.
 In hls veto message last week President Hoover insisted tho United States should not project the Filipino nation nt this time Into "oconomic and social chaos"

Leading Economist Told Roosevelt That With All Factories Busy There Would Be Many Idle

New York, Jan 17.-(UP)- President-elect Franklin D. Roose- welt advocates a migration of pop- ulation from the urban centers to rural districts to solve an unem- ployment problem he believes will not be automatically solved by the return of prosperity.
 Speaking informally before the Metropolitan club last night, Roosevelt said he had been inform- ed by leading economist that even with every factory wheel in the Unietd States turning, there still would be 5,000,000 workers out of jobs.
 "When prosperity comes back, and 1t Is coming back, what are VIC going to do with that 5,000,- 000?" he asked. We have got to restore tho balance of population, so that they will not be dependent on home relief, or call 1t what you will"
