came one of the centers of social life Of
the young Capital, for a daughter Of the
Murdocks married into the family Of
President Adams, and often the elite of
those early days drove out onto this hill,
with its magnificent view, to enjoy the

He Kn0wsWhat the Senators Saw

Thus he conserved his strength for the
homestretch. where it was badly needed
for an epic struggle with bill for the
reorganization of our diplomatic and
consular service all over the world.
Complete Victory.
The strain was terrific, but Mr..
Crockett was game. Loud and clear
doomed his voice, proudly overriding
such obstacles as Przemysl, Constanti-
nople, Nizhni-Novgorod, Allahabad,
LwoW and Llandudno. AS he crossed
the wire, still going strong, cheers arose
even from those Senators who had
backed other choices, and on December
10, 1907, his victory was made official.
Mr. Crockett says that much of the
credit should go to Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts,, who sharpened
up his training just before the contest
and encouraged him throughout.
Since then Mr.. Crockett has served for
So years without day off for illness and
without an i'll word from a single Sem
ator out of SOB with whom he has had
to deal. incidentally it may be re-
marked that SOB represents a substantial
fraction of the total number of Senators
ever to serve the United States since its
beginning about 1300-and Mr. Crock
EFT looks as if he could handle another
SOB before retiring.
He is an enthusiastic supporter of Mr..
Wallace, and will do anything he can to
expedite business for the Vice President.
A bond exists between them-both came
from Iowa. The Iowa motif predomi-
mates in Mr.. Crocketts office. On his
desk is an Iowa corn cob, with ring
screwed in the end for occasional use as
a watch charm.

t makes the Senate tick?

What makes the Senate tick?
Democracy, of course; but if the fur
ther question is raised-who slips it into
gear to get it started?-the answer may
we'll be the chief clerk, acting under the
authority of the presiding officer.
1t is the clerks duty, in the first place,
to call the roll for the record. Also, upon
request-frequent request-he reads pro-
posed bills. In the interim he must keep
track of what the Senate is talking
about, although sometimes this task is
too great for any human being, and have
available a schedule of subjects for de-
bate in the order of Importance agreed
on by the Senate Or, to be more pre-
else. in practice he has two lists. One
consists of matters highly controversial,
sure to require plenty of discussion; the
other, bills regarded as fairly sure OF
passage by unanimous consent. The
trick is to recognize which are which,
and thereby save time.
For be- it known that the principal
reason for the existence of the office of
chief clerk of the Senate is to do just
that-save time. No incumbent who fails
to realize that can possibly make good
on the job, and that one who does realize
it can have the job as long as his voice
holds out. That is the case with John
Crockett, chief clerk since 1907.
From Iowa's Supreme Court.
Before then, Mr. Crockett had SIM
10 Her cpalp He
chief clerk of the Supreme Court of
Iowa in Des Moines. In his duties he
developed a voice and technique that
came to the attention of Senator Alli-
son from that state-Allison, who still
holds the record for uninterrupted serv-
ice in the Senate-44 years. Come to
Washington" telegraphed the Senator.
Vacancy here in office of chief clerk.
Think you can have the job"
On came John Crockett, only to find
that all was not quiet along the Poto-
mac. He ran into an uncharted snag.
Something had gone wrong with the
patronage. Forty-nine other claimants
appeared. you'll have to compete
against them, I'm sorry to say re-
IndIkeu CSIldUCl 1aIlloOll 11uO SOii y
worry. Most of them are mere selling
platers. Take care of your voice, show
the same form you did in Des Moines
and you'll win in talk"
The Senator proved to be a good
selector. Some committee, correspond
ing to the Jockey Club, arranged for a
great Oral Handicap, still legend in the
Senate. At post time there were no
scratches, and an unwieldy field of so
were off. Not together, of course. One
by one each was given tryout, reading
bills before the Senate, and one by one
they died in the stretch.
1t was a grueling contest, Mr..
Crockett does not know what the 40
also-rans had to read, but his own task
is still vivid in his vigorous mind. He
got off with a reading of the treaty of
Guadalupe, fixing the boundary be-
tween Mexico and the United States, and
though the track was heavy with eXplos-
i've Spanish words like OaXaca and Po-
pocatepetl, he kept his footing and never
faltered.
In the backstretch he eased up
slightly and was able to take breather

Historic Site.
1t is certainly very attractive site,
and one not without its historic atmos-
phere since it was one of the early land
grants made in this part of Maryland.
Indeed the site was such a suitable one
for g. university, and the background so
interesting, that The Star of March 4,
1895, had this to say regarding the 80
acres which the tract contained:
May /, 1872, Joseph Addison the
gentle and humorous Spectator was
born in the rectory of Rev. Lancelot
Addison at Millston, In Weltshire, Eng
land. About the same time there was
born in Maryland Thomas Addison, to
John Addison, a brother of the Rev.
Lancelot. This first American born
Addison, Thomas, was sent to England
to be educated, and. according to tradi-
ton among his descendants, was in OK
ford at the same time with his cousin
and friend, Joseph Addison, the poet and
essayist.
''Or his return to this country, Thomas
Addison, who afterwards was known as
Col. Addison, married and built the fine
old manor house on the banks of the
Potomac, opposite Alexandria, which he
called Oxon Hill in honor of his alma
mater in old England. 1t seemed fitting
that this son OF oxford and relative and
friend of Joseph Addison, whom DR..
Johnson extols so highly, should become
the owner of the virgin soil now forever
dedicated to literature, science and re-
ligio1,. According to records well au-
thenticated, the cite of the American
University was granted to Thomas Addi-

Senate Minesweeper.
Let no one think that Mr. Crockett's
is any Insignificant contribution to the
war effort Anything is important that
tends to prevent a branch of Congress
from getting begged down in mass of
small details. His is the job of the
minesweeper, clearing the way for the
advance of mighty armada. There is
little glory or publicity for the mine
sweeper, yet it is highly necessary. That
Mr.. Crockett can help clear the way.

purchase of and payment for the land
which it was desirable should be first
arranged; therefore no definite or official
arrangements could pass between the
parties at present" And the project was
never consummated.
Bishop Hurst's Plans.
But Bishop Hurst had already begun
to lay his plans for the American Uni
versity, and even before he became chan
cellor of the National University, we find
him at New Decatur, Ala. comforting
with Dr.. Jesse l.. Hurlbut, where he said:
"a nations capital is the most fitting
place for higher study. y Build roof
over a capital and you have the best of all
possible universities" And so it was at
this meeting that telegram from T. w.
Talmadge, dated January %, 1890, was
read to DR.. Hurlbut in which it was
said: Davis tract must be secured now.
One thousand for option twenty thou
sand to be paid March 1st. Price one
hundred thousand. Shall I close the bar
gain?" And the answer was Yes"
1t was on Christmas Day, one month
before this telegram was sent by Mr..
Talnadge that the bishop and this Wash
ington attorney hired carriage and
drove out toward the heights beyond the
city in search of beautiful and suitable
site for the proposed university, hoping
that, providentially, some way might be
opened, should the plans crystalline to
obtain desirable spot, to finance the
same, and to cause it to become a reality
and not a mere dream.
I'VE drove briskly in the December

Bishop Hurst, ''up and down the roads
