CHAGGY, blaGx-haired Mullen

handing the earth. always uh-
happy under the delusion that he
isn't being treated right"
Mullen las represented the
Henry Doherty interests among
various others. Once he got a
former . law partne.', Jemes E.
Hanlsy. appointed to the Federal
Radio Commission, Their hired a
commission expert named Elmer
" Pratt for his firm and began
to take in radio broadcasting
clients He has also represented
Indian claims and sought PWA
funds. but the bulk of hi5 bust
ness-as is true in most such
cases-is a secret. Among other
Mullen appointees is son with
the National Emergency Council.
Jackson once secretary of the
national committee and very valu-
able to Roosevelt in pre-Conven-
ton maneuvering is known for
his lavish parties and his recent
acquisition Uf the famous pink
palace on Massachusetts, avenue.
He has represented Electric Bond
& Share, the Niagara Hudson
Power Co and other Carlisle
q interests. and some of the tele,
phone groups.
Il EMER, another of the good
IA fellow" type possessed of
much charm has represented
power companies, some shiIping
interests. and appeared as counsel
for Robert Dollar at the Farley
ocean mail hearings. He is an
intimate pal of Attorney General
Homer Cummings and is some
times spoken Of as the unofficial
boss of the Department of Justice
Most political lobbyists get
along better with old-time party
men such as Cummings and Com
merce Secretary Roper than with
such New Dealers as Wallace.

| stood in a garden of beauty
Where the old and the new intcfchangr
And my soul, on wings Of the morning,
Rose free in its infinite range;
For here in this garden of beauty
Where my heart was attuned TO the ra.r
! heard soft sound as Of footballs,
And the creak of bending mast.
And past me was waited the figure
Of the daughter of Aaron Burr,
AS she lightly descended the stairway
To the waters that ripple and stir.
And my heart cried out, must stop I.r
AS she went to her namcless fate;
And | put cut my arms as she passoc g,
But knew that my help was too LATE
And | saw the lovely young matroa.
Take boat on the channel that led
To the Inflated vessel, the "Parsio,."
The ghost-ship Of lost and the dead.
And now the graves Of her loved ones.
Alone mark the place Of my tears
And | found I was alone in the garden
With the ashes Of vanished years.

persons on the countys payroll i'm

Senate refused by a vote of 1925 to
accept miAority insurance commit
tees favorable report on the bill
which was designed to set up 4 state
fund for the administration of such
insurance.
The bill, if passed, would not have
gone into effect until an emergency
was deemed to exist by the governor
and the Council Of State The "emer-
gency" would exist when and if the
governor and the council considered
the insurance companies rates too
high. AT that time the Governor and
the council could have put into Ope-
short, have meant that the state would
ration the state fund. which would. in
have gone into the insurance business.
No appropriation would have been re-
quirCd because employers of indus
trial labor would simply have paid
into the state fund their premium on
compensation insurance and that state
would have paid benefits just AS the
commercial companies now pay them.
