Congress Proud of "Andy"
William Smith Has Been on Duty
at Capitol so Years.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

~oNGRESs is proud of the
oldest employe in the Capitol
an alert, sprightly little
~ gentleman Of so years, who
has been on one job there
continuously for so years, who still
does his daily dozen" and walks at
least five miles, who used to be a
famous oarsman, cockswain and coach,
who learned to drive an automobile
when he was 75-William ("Andy'')
Smith. Congressional Record clerk.
Nearly half the Senators and House
members stop at Andy" Smiths desk
in corner of Statuary Hall, almost
every day for chat-and members Of
Congress have been doing that for
three score years. He has been on
terms of friendly intimacy with all the
great men Of his day who served in
Congress-and those who came to do
business with Congress.
Tribute to Be Paid.
When the legislative appropriation
bill comes before the House next week,
unless presidents fail. there will be
tributes paid on the floor to the long
and efficient services Of Mr.. Smith.
Four years ago the committee report
on this bill gave historics.l testimony
and the act itself provided for his be-
ing retained for indefinite longevity in
the position he has made and devel-
oped with the crowding years and the
growth of the congressional work.

he is affectionately known, entered the
service of the United States at the
Government Printing Once Septem-
Der Is, 1878. September IS, 1875, he
came to the Capitol Building as as
sistant Congressional Record clerk and
in 1876 entered upon the position
which he still holds-as representative
of the Public Printer In the business
relations of that ONCE with Senators
and members of the House.
TT is safe to say that during his
long career he has had wider ac-
quaintance with a larger number of
Senators and members Of the House
than any other individual. The COM
mittee feels certain that all who have
come in contact with this alert and
accommodating man, who serves the
Congress so capably, faithfully and in
diligently, will heartily indorse the
proposal to continue him in the active
status for which he Is still so admit
rably suited"
Had First Telephone.
Mr.. Smith first had his desk at the
Capitol in a corne rof the Senate post
Office, where the District Committee
room now is. He had the first tele-
phone (of the old coffee grinder, box
on-the-wall type) ever installed in the
Capitol. This connected with the Gov
eminent Printing ONCE and the
clerks desk. That telephone was in

Inside the theater, frantic ushers
tried to clear the aisles. A moon

just stood, impervious to shoves,
threats, pleadings. Crawford pre-
tended not to see them, while a studio
man stood at either entrance to the
row in which she sat to prevent any
violent demonstrations of affection.
