ents, which he gave without stint.
 Was Reformer
 Through 1t all he was notably a political champion of beliefs he preached and practiced with moral zeal. Friends pointed him as one of the most eminent examples in his day of the Christian reformer in public office. He was polite but persistent in broadcasting his prin- ciples and attacking his opponents.
 He rose to power in his party. Important committee assignments came his way. He was the Demo- cratic whip of the Senate for the Fist Congress.
 Extra politically, he was held high by the fraternal insurance or ganization. Woodmen of the World. The group selected him sovereign banker, or national treasurer. m 1899, and retained him permanent ly. t
 While he was growing up his father., John L. Sheppard, moved the family of seven children from Wheatville to Daingerfield, to Pitts burg and. finally, to Texarkana. These were the years in which pro- hibition sentiment was becoming articulate in local debating one of the earliest memories the Sena- tor retained.
 Saloons were everywhere" he said. Drinking was practically uni versal The treating habit was vicious-people would finger, and so the brawls would start. Liquor was menace to the peace"
 .t Social Reforms
 It was in this atmosphere that the lad formed his first opinions for the eradication of alcohol, which he later, called the heart of the prohibition matter-a habit-form- ing drug, like opium, destructive to human health, morals and charac- ter, menace to society"
 For him there was only one side to the question. In his theology pro- hibition of liquor was the best of possible social reforms.
 Working as night watchman in the state capitol in Austin, young Sheppard helped himself through his last years at the University of Texas, where he received an aca- demic and a law degree. He bor- rowed money to attend the Yale law school. Graduated in 1898, he went into his fathers law firm.
 The elder Sheppard, serving his third year as United States Repre- sentative, died in 1902. The son was called upon to take his place. He was elected for full term as well as that unexpired, and re- mained in the House for 10 years. Then Senator Joseph w. Bailey resigned and the Texas vacancy went to Sheppard. He was then only 37.
 Three years earlier he had mar ried Miss Lucille Sanderson, belle of a well-to-do Texarkana family. They had known each other at home, renewed acquaintance when she came to finishing school in Washington. and married shortly

can, too. His American ances.
try stretches back before the
Mayflower," pointed out tn e
Hartford man.
Referring to the lack of jobs
among the BIackfeet, Mr.. Ham
iIton urged that the government
set up sawmills for the cutting
of some of the timber on the
Blackfeet reservation. 1t would
provide employment and pay for
those who today can't find work.
Assistant Commissioner Zim
norman. according to Mr.. Ham,
llton. responded with good wishes
and hope that congress might
appropriate more money for the
care of our Indians. The Bureau
of Indian Affairs is Of course de-
pendent on congressional appro
priarions for what 1t does. 1t
would naturally like more money.
At the moment it is seeking some
money for housing and could use
about $40. 000.0 900 over the next
10 years. However. it cannot
juggle appropriations, no more
than any other federal agency,
and must use funds for the pur-
pose designated by congress-.
So the unsatisfied Mr.. Hamil.
ton runs up against another prin-
ciple of government, the local in
terest factor. He realizes that
the Indian doesn't cast lot of
votes and that most of them are
located in the smaller states that
don't command big blocs of votes
in the Honse. Connecticut and
Massachusetts members of con-
gress, for instance. don't find po-
iitical pressure from back home
to do something for the Indians.
The latter are mostly out West.
Thus the Indian as national en-
blem is not embodied in terms of
Congressional interest and is apt
to get overlooked in the Congress
ional voting of money.
