they are done for.
With a quiet self-possessed manner, a
welcoming smile-a dimple in the right
cheek by the way-and a hearty country
handshake. the leader of the minority
and recognized wheel-horse in his party
makes one think of all those homely
things one hears and reads about Lincoln;
and while there is nothing in his appear
ance like the martyred president-except
lock of black hair that seems bit
refractory-he speaks largely in words of
one or two syllables. He has none of the
trimmings of a politician; does not parry
question-but answers it. Refreshingly
flank, alert and keen with convincing
way of expressing himself that carries
conviction. and whether one agrees with
him or not it would be difficult to doubt
his honesty. There is the tang of Irish
blood about his wit and he seldom takes
his eyes off the one to whom he is talking.

he thinks much is due to the work
of Miss Martin-no kin-the woman
assistant to the national chairman,
Mr.. Hamilton.
So far as the woman Representa-
tive from Massachusetts, is concern
ed Mr. Martin thinks she's tops
and one of the hardest workers in
the Congress. Either he or some one
in his Office said if Mrs. Rogers
ever wanted to run as an inde-
pendent-it was in the bag. When
we saw the three Republican woman
members in the House the other day
they were fairly beaming.

gresham that Uncle Jimmy Bu-
chanan had made a pretty good job
Of it.
AS a reporter, editor and news
paper proprietor for some years. Mr..
Martin must at times have little
homesickness for the old life, but
he says when he drops into the
Office of the Evening Chronicle at
North Attleboro, his home town, he
finds everything running so smooth
ly that he has nothing to do but sit
down and enjoy himself. He likes
to talk with his toWnspeople and
while he has represented his district
for 16 years in the Lower House of
Congress, and before that in the
House and Senate of his State, he
has never lost touch with the rank
and file of his constituents.
Businesslike
In Appearance.
Representing as he does the larg-
est industrial district in this coun-
try, Mr.. Martin impresses one as a
type of businessman. Reared-or
brought up, as he would say-in the
atmosphere of the laboring man, he
knows their outlook on life, their
problems and sorrows and longings,
but he believes about that as he does
about the comeback of his party-if
one takes it standing there is al
ways way.
Mr.. Martin expressed himself as
much elated over the recent Re-
publican gains in the Congress and
believes that once more his party is
in sight of the promised land, and
that with constructive platform,
hard work, little help from the
anti-NeW Dealers, strict harmony
within their own ranks, they at last
have every chance for success in the
coming campaign. He thinks that
the rejuvenation of the G. o. P. is
at hand, and that there is shift to-
ward conservatism he thinks there
is no doubt. AS the minority leader
he has had no patience with laissez
faire tactics; has taken help from the
opposition when offered and has
led by persuasion rather than by
force those who differed with him.
He says he would never have made
good boss as he likes to leave some
thing to the intelligence of the other
chap.
Man Without Hobby,
Great Reader.
A man without a hobby-unless
It's reading piles of newspapers from
all over the country-and walking
because he thinks better as he
swings along, he always finds the
day needful for the work in hand.
Though clubable and sociable
man, he is seen but little in society
.. he believes the women of his
party are even more than formerly
going to play large part in the
coming convention and campaign,
and he thinks that if the men will
work just as hard as the women are
working in organizing throughout
the States there will be but little
doubt about the outcome of the 1910
election. And apropos of the women

ARMS AND ARMIES

TTNHt United States Government looks upon the
conditions of Europe and Asia as indicating
"a sea of troubles" for our own country The other
day millions Of young men registered and thereby
took the first step to go into the army. Several
hundred thousand will soon be called away from
peace-tme pursuits and trained as soldiers. Hous-
ing facilities are being prepared and ships, air
planes, tanks and other implements OF war are
being built. You can't have an army without men,
and there is no use to manufacture arms unless
there are men to use them. The only thing lack
ing is "approva' Of a War-into which the United
States has been 'cOrdally invited"
On the other hand, the Nations outstanding
officials and officers, and the leading men and
women Of this country have pledged their honor
70 prevent the sending Of American soldiers over
seas.
1t is the opinion Of the Washington correspon-
dent that there is danger that our young men may
be sent into war That danger can only be offset
by determined stand on the part Of the great
American public to hold the Government to the
promises made by the men and women who have
been at the head Of the political squads and bat
ta0ns during recent weeks Don't let down, no
matter what happens-and remember that the
'War was over over there" for United States
soldiers when the World War was "over, over
there" in 1918.

LABOR PLANS AHEAD

(From the New Leader, New York;
From the two Australasian mem
bers Of the British Commonwealth Of
Nations comes news illustrating the
capacity Of labor in politics to fore
see problems and deal with them in a
constructive way. The Labor govern
ment Of New Zealand plans to pur-
chase land at market prices for the
settlement of veterans after the war
under conditions which will enlist
their cooperation in development
work.
Prior to Labor's coming to power
most Of the disable public land has
been allowed to pass into private
ownership and mostly into the hands
of large proprietors. The measure
now decided on will in part correct
this evil while providing for the re-
turn of the soldiers to normal po-
sition in society.
A similar policy is to be followed
in Australia, where the Labor party
is much the largest Of the three par.
ties and since the elections in Sep.
tember has almost as many seats a
the governing coalition of bourgeois
and agrarian elements, and is there.
fore able to exercise a powerful in.
fluence on legislation.

on end without sleep rest, battling the fires the
enemy's great bombs create. A considerable num-
Der of them have died at their posts, that others
might live and the seat Of the Empire be saved,
Here in our country there are no bombers to
devastate our cities, no long-range guns to blast
at our homes and industries and national monu-
mentS. But all over the nation, fremen are doing
"a peace-time job that should be given far more
recognition than it usually obtains. There has
been many jest concerning easy-living fremen,
sitting about in their comfortable stations talking
and yarning and playing cards. But it isn't funny
when an engine crew must enter a burning build
ing that may collapse into an inferno Of flame any
minute. 1t isn't funny to have great fire when
the temperature is twenty below and the spray
from the nOZzles turns at once to ice 1t isn't
funny to put on masks and asbestos suits and try
to control an oil fire generating thousands of de-
grees of blazing heat.
The fire department is any town or districts
first line Of defense against an enemy that is as
destructive as war. And frst-class fire depart
ment is any towns best investment. The fire
fighters Of London are making the headlines with
h service that is as vital in peace as in time of
battle.

LEWIS MEN NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEFEAT IN MINERS ELECTION

Grace Bay, n. S. NLNS).-Silby
Barrett of Glacc Bay, Canadian head
of the CIO, and President John l..
Lewis personal representative in the
Canadian United Mine Workers, had
narrow squeeze from failing Of re-
election as international board mem
ber of the L. NJ. w. for District 26.
D. NJ. Morrison Of Glace Bay, p.
G. MUSE, Of New Waterford, and A.
A. Mckay, of Clacc Bay, were re
elected by majorities Of CAT, 84 and
900, respectively, in the contests for
president, vice-preSident and secretary
treasurer, respectively. However, Bar
rett, who was named to head the
Canadian CIO, by Lewis about eight
months ago, was only eight votes
ahead, and a recount is probable. At
the original check, he was 1913 votes
behind J. A. Mcdonald, Of Glacc Bay,
President Morrison, who is also mayor
of Glace Bay, has served seven CON
secutive tWo-year terms in the presi-
dcncy.
Barrett is a predecessor of Morrison
as president, and has been internati-
onal board member for the district
for two terms. His narrow escape
from defeat while his colleagues on the
executive were given much larger
votes, is attributed to dissatisfaction
with the Lewis leadership.
