(Copyright, 1914, by Fred C. Kelly.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. -When Vic ; President Marshill was 'governor of Indiana a woman came to see him in regard to getting her husband paroled from the penitentiary- " "The food M good," she. ad mi tted, 'and I don't think" he Is overworked. but the life there Is altogether too con fining. Every year the number of senators who ride in street cars. is cut down. owing to the gradual creeplng'of the insidious automobile into the heart of our democratic Institutions. The one great , objection senators ' have to riding in a street 'car is the annoy ance of having somebody who .wants' something slip into a eat alongside of them and engage them in a long tiresome conversation.- One senator, however, .who makes his trip to the capitol almost invariably in a street car is Reed Smoot of Utah, The mo ment Smoot gets seated he takes-front his pocket a copy of the Congres sional Record and forgets whether he is in a street car or a taxicab, as he becomes more and more engrossed fit the crisp dialogue that the Record unfolds. And Smoot is amply pro tected against having anybody en gage him in conversation, by the fact that he has a heavy mustache, like a lion-tamer, and looks so solemn that not one man In a thousand would dare disturb him. Even the con ductor swallows and looks embar rassed When he asks Smoot for his fare. Another senator who likes to ride on street cars is old John Sharp Wil liams. He says he likes it because of the democracy jQf the thing. A little while ago, however, he got an auto mobile as a sop to conventionality. While the auto was still new another car hit it as It was standing inno cently at a curb and knocked it all out of fix. John Sharp Williams just chuckled when he heard about the- accident. "It'll go. back to the street cars now," he said, and find out once more what people are really talking and thinking about." Representative "Hampy" Moore of Pennsylvania, and W. H. Stafford of Wisconsin, were both opposed to the Dick Hobson prohibition resolution. So when "Hampy" Moore got up to speak, against the measure his . re marks were ' frequently' punctured with applause by Stafford. On the average, vS,t,af?or4 . applauded M when ever "Hampy" came .to . the end of paragraph. , ... "There Is. more .vice right now in the District, of i Columbia,'' declared Hampy," "than ever before.;'. And Stafford, just - from- force of habit, enthusiastically applauded that, too. Representative Garrett of Texas, in the course of his speech in favor of prohibition, referred to "those drinks with fruit floating about in them that society people drink just befor their dinner." After he had finished Otis Wingo of Arkansas called him to one side and said to Garrett: "I suppose you realize that you have worked a great injury to the cause of prohibition." 'What are you talking about?" asked Garrett, idignantly. "Just what I say," replied Wingo. "Those drinks with the fruit in them such as you describe are known as cocktails. Many of the members had not thought of cocktails for days or even weeks until you began to de scribe them so appetizlngly. Your minute description appealed to their imagination. Didn t you notice mem bers begin to file out of the chamber while you talked.. From, here they went to a hotel up the street to pur chase the very evil you were decrying. After two or. three cocktails they will align themselves with the forges op posed, to temperance. Your speech has indeed wrought a great amount of evil." ' Associate Justice William R." Day of the United States supreme court weighs scarcely more than 100 pounds, but has the physical courage of a big. shaggy maned lion. In , the summer, when he goes fishing, he will row a boat across troubled waters when everybody else is afraid to venture out, and he would just, as soon sass a 240 pound conductor as not. Some time ago Justice Day - was Journeying to his summer home In Michigan, accompanied by his little grandson, four or five years' old. " He did not buy any ticket for the little boy.-- The conductor met the justice tack in the smoking compartment. "Whog going to pay lor that boy in your section?". Inquired thet ticket taker. ' . "Nobody," replied Day "That boy is considerably too young to require a ticket.' ."He's a lot over six years old," re torted the conductor. "You'll have to pay at least half fare for him." "1 11 not do anspch-a thing," re plied Day IndignahBy, "and kindly do not contradict me again. "But. I tell you " 1 "l say don't contradict me,, cut .In Day, clenching his1 fist. And the con ductor, built like a piano 1 mover, went oiv for, small as Day is, he is not a man . that one likes to contradict. Then Day returned to his seat and made a startling discovery. His lit tle, grandson was In another part of the car. and In his seat was a ;big hulk of a farm boy about 14 years old. It was this husky boy that the con ductor, Insisted was more than sLx years old when Day had warned hint not to contradict. Senator Bryen of Florida Is a silent man. He Is not glum or crabbed, un derstand, but simply has a habit of not talking except when he has some thing to say. . All the while he is not talking, however. Bryan is taking In all that goea. about him. - -And' noth ing . catches his Interest more than Senator Hamilton Lewiav - WhenV he j- - - f Fthb Lira 1 WJ, IIVj ?.o H NDAR MM KELUY. wishes-' to jBryan can give Imitations of Senator .Lewis that are worth going to see, , This story, though. ts not about the way Bryan can imitate Lew is, but about how little he has to say when hot In a loquacious mood. At Bryan'a home In Washington Is a billiard table. Billiards is his fa vorite recreation : when the weather does not permit tennis, and one of he things about the game-that ap peals to Bryan Is its- silence. He rarely talks much while palying. In fact ; , A few nights ago Senator Bryan had a guest at his home for dinner. All through the meal the host had little to say, merely taking good care that the gnest got all he wanted to eat. As - they arose from the table Bryan tugged x mysteriously at his guest's sleeve ' and beckoned him off into another room as if about to strike him for a small loan. But all he desired was. to . get the guet into the billiard room. He flicked on the light, handed the guest a cue, and motioned' ; him 40 go ahead and shoot first. ,They played for .about two hours and, a-half, during which time Bryan smiled hospitably, when ever the guest made a good shot, but he offered no comment. Finally the guest looked at his watch . and said he thought he ought to start home. The host hung up his cue reluctantly- and accompanied th.j guest to the front hall. "I've certainly enjoyed this," said the guest. "So have. I," said the host. "And I hope you'll drop around again." Then it occurred to the guest that those were the first words Bryan had uttered since they were half through dinner. All during the time they played billiards and for some time bfore that, not a syllable had nudged Its way past his lips, j i This Europeans war would be a great deal worse in its local aspects If it were not for Eddie Savoy. Eddie is the little old colored man who has been doortender at the office of the secretary of state since as far back as anybody 'can remember. As a. rule his duties are compara tively simple, even though part of his work consists of mothering the for eign ambassadors and other diplo mats who call to see the secretary of state. , Just now, however, the handling of foreign ambassadors is a delicate task. for one must be constantly on the alert to avert a meeting between any two representatives of the nations now at war. If two nmha from" the warring countries were to meet face to face' they would 'not speak, but would look off into space wnn me aDstracted air of a man try ing to make himself think he is some where else. Thig is that custom and precedent may be t uirilled. The ambassadors arc all friendly enough with one an other personally, but if they were to nod or speak, it would be onlv an other step to passing the time of day. Ana tr tney did that they might ex change small talk. From small talk they might go to war talk, arid that would not do at all. Thus it happens that although Ambassador Jusserand of France, dean of the corps, and Am bassador von Bemstorff of Germany are good friends and much seen to gether In time of peace, either one would be horrified to be ushered 1nio the room with the other lust now. To prevent such a scene is part of the task of Eddie Savoy, and he teems with pride over the fact that so far he has been successful. It is no small Job, either. Ambassador Spring-Rice of Great Britain does not like to be shown into the diplomatic waiting room at all, even though none of the representatives of the nations at war are there. He prefers to avoid con tact with the 'diplomats of all other nations whatsoever, leet somfebodv You Can Save IT .

As a rule Ambassador Kprlng-Rlee j ushered directly into the private office of Mr. . Bryan. When his visit' is over Eddie" Savoy must make certain that no other am bassador la lurking about tha hallway or anterooms. Occasionally Eddie- has to shift an ambassador from' one' room to another to clear a path, and he does -so In a quiet, motherly fashion that is dis tinctive. An ambassador always feels that he Is amply protected from em barrassing situations so' long as Eddie Savoy has him in charge. Only Once in his long career has Eddie allowed1 two ambassadors to meet while their nations were at 'war, and that was during the Japo-Russlan war. The Japanese ambassador was walking thoughtfully along the cor ridor just outside .the office of tha secretary of state when he chanced to look-up and found himself staring into the face Of the Russian ambassador. Before ho stepped -to think of prece dents the Japanese man nodded. ' . "I did not nod to the man,; but to his position as dean of the corps," insisted the Japanese. So strong Is the aversion to a chance meeting among the diplomats of the warring nations that none of these will accept any invitations what ever, even to a private house, until they -know Just what guests will be present. And it is extremely rare for one to accept even then. The chances of the war being discussed at the dinner table are too great, ' When the war began Senator Kern made Sip his mind to preserve his neu trality at any cost. A day Or twb ago the senator sat eating his dinner at a table with one or two pro-Germans, and as manv anti-Germans. A pompous person came along and said: "I'll make this prediction.' Within 30 days the German army will reach Paris, and within 60 days the Irish will take London. WThat da you think about that, senator?" Desiring to preserve his 'neutrality, Kern, without looking up from his rice pudding, made this thoroughly noncommittal reply: "It beats the devil, doesn't It?" It occurred to Representative Ben Johnson of kentucky some years ago that he might be able to save a great deal of time if he could shave him self without a mirror. So with a view to shaving himself without a mirror he set about learh Ing his face off by heart. He mem orized his face feature by feature and collectively. It would not have been difficult for him to commit to memory the average face, but is countenance is a rough hewn. Lin conesque affair, not to be mastered at a glance. However. Johnson studied his face until he knew all about it. He knew approximately how rar it was from a given feature to any other feature. I say unnual lfiedly that after a time Ben Johnson knew his face just as well as he Knew anything-. , Having learned all about hla face. he started in then to shave without a mirror, and his preparatory work for this had been so thorough - that ne had little trouble. Shortly after he became expert In finding his way over his face without any mirror to guide him Johnson was on a speaking trip through his district in Kentucky, and was obliged to stay 'over night at a rude little caDin wnicn naa rew modern con. venlences. As he was about to go -to bed Jie began to think about his face. He caressed his cheek, and it was like .rubbing his hand over an old-fash ioned jute church carpet. Johnson felt that he owed it to his "hostess to appear at breakfast on the mor row with his beard neatly pried off. But there was no lamp in his room. Then he remembered that he could shave without a mirror, and so what did it matter if there was not a "lamp? now could a man see his face witn a lamp unless he also had a mirror? The host heard Johnson walkintr about and recalled that there was nof light in the room. He lighted a candle and was taking It into the guest Just ' as Johnson was in the midst of shaving the side of his neck. ihe flickering rays of the candle fell on the razor blade. "Great guns, man, don't do that," snouted me nost. And when Johnson explained that he was not fixing to muss up the room, but was merely performing a trick shave, the host shook his head dubiously. Before I d shave In the dark." said he, "I'd let em grow. I'd let em grow anyway. That's what whiskers are for. Men's Raincoats Reduced.

To the Editor of The Journal In The Journal of December 28 I read an article headed Disarmament." cooled from the Omaha. World-Herald, which. I think, pro poses the right plan for International peace, and it is the only plan, in my opinion, thut can ever be made to work. Again, in The Journal of Janu ary 10, is another article from David Starr Jordan, under the heading, "A rrotest Against War," which has trie right ring to it. This is only one of several articles 1 have read from Dr. Jordan, on this subject.-all of which go to show his great desire for uni versal peace, and his arguments are so clear and convincing that they are oound to havo a good effect. Internal troubles. suV.'h as Mexico Is' having, .may come occasionally among tha na tions, but there Is no necessity of nations going to war with one an ctheeto settle their troubles. It is not necessary to. enumerate the train of troubles, that these international wars bring upon the nations; the point we want to pay particular attention to is the working plan by which these international wars may be done away with foreverand all nations enjoy the train of blessings resulting from this ferpetnal International peace. The one plan that appears to be sure to work, is for the United States to call an international convention to consider a proposition to. form an in ternational congress to consider all International disputes and settle them by arbitration or by an international supreme court selected for that par ticular case, and tnen ror every . na tion that is willing to sign this com pact to put its entire war fleet 2nd all preparations for war under - the control of this international congress and have this congress form an inter national police force which will en force all international obligations and protect all nations that belong to this' compact from interference with other nations .who do not belong to the com pact, and to induce all nations to join, as soon as possible,' so that all prepa rations for -war may be reduced to the very least possible cost. Direct let ters, sent to the president or to one of our "senators, requesting them to try to bring this matter up as soon as possible, I think, would " be the best way to work. Let every one that favors thi plan write direct to Washington. D. C. ' GEORGE HICINBOTH AM. ' The Resolvent of Love. Portland, Jan. 8.
