CONGRESS “VETS”
STILL ARE ACTI1IE
OLD MEMBERS, THOUGH FEW Ah’
NUMBERS, RETAIN THEIR
INFLUENCE IN COUNSEL. *
MOST TALKED OF IS LODGE
By EDWARD B. CLARK
Washington.—Congress has a good
many old men in its membership. The
old ones still are active and are verj
much in it. The middle-aged ones out¬
number the young and the old many
times, but there is a certain influence
which the elders have which cannot
be gainsaid. The extremely young
men In congress are not numerous, and
neither are they ordinarily Influential
In counsel, but they know that later
they will come along.
Probably the man who because of
his Influential position in congress has
had more written and said about him
than any of his colleagues is Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Repub¬
lican leader of the senate. Senator
Lodge as chairman of the committee
on foreign relations ’has la his keep¬
ing the World court proposal of Presi¬
dent Harding. This fact alone recent¬
ly has focussed the eyes of the coun¬
try on the person and the doings of
th<* Massachusetts senator. ♦
There have been few cases in con¬
gress where the old men have lost
their Influence, provided they ever had
any. It Is perfectly true that some
men have grown old in the legislative
.service of their country without ever
attracting much attention. Their con¬
stituents have found them hard-work¬
ing, willing to look after the home in¬
terests, and have been content to re
turn ’them to office term after term,
even if they did not shine as states¬
men. As a rule, however, the old
man who stays In congress is a good
deal of a power even if Ids voice Is
not as It once was and his'body Is
not always unshaken by the winds of
controversy.
Lodge Sometimes Warms Up.
Henry Cabot Lodge always has
been regarded as a cold man. He cer¬
tainly is not red hot save on rare
occasions, and he certainly Is not giv¬
en to slapping^-haen on the back to
call them Bill, Tom, and Dick, and
to inquire after the health of the
babies, but Lodge has done some hu¬
man things to amaze men.
Some years ago when he was well
past threescore years of age this
„ scholar in politics was affronted by a
burly committee room besieger who
was after something or other that he
should not have been after. The rath¬
er frail looking senatorial scholar of
Massachusetts was not afraid on that
occasion to "mix in.” He thrashed the
heavy-weight who had insulted biift
and when he walked later into the
senate chamber Democrats and Repub¬
licans, with delighted grins on faces,
pressed forward to offer the handshake
of congratulation.
t When one writes of the Republican
Lodge his mind turns back to the Dem¬
ocrats, Morgan and Pettus of Ala¬
bama. They grew old together in the
senate .service,, hut. they never lost
their influence, never lost their power
or persuasion of speech, and never lost
their quiet sense of humor whlfch saved
for them many a situation.
In the senate today is a party col¬
league of Senator Lodge, Francis E.
Warren of Wyoming. This senator is
one of the old line Republicans whose
habit of political thought today prob¬
ably is Just rs It was years ago. He
is a Civil war veteran and he wears the
Congi esslonal Medal of Honor for con¬
spicuous personal gallantry on the
field of battle. Warren has been at¬
tacked as few men have been attacked.
He seems to have withstood the shocks
of assault without much physical trou¬
ble. He will be eighty years old next
June. He still Is In the ring and does
not look like one who soon is to be
counted out.
Old Members Real Warriors.
The old saying about old men Tor
counsel and young men for war does
not hold true in Its entirety in either
house of congress. Some of the oldest
members of both branches are the real
warriors when it comes to the fighting
pinch. John Sharp Williams of Mis¬
sissippi, who retired from the senate
last spring, went out as he came In,
fighting. He led many a battle In the
house before he was sent over by hjs
state to represent It in the senate, and
he fought many a battle In his new po¬
sition. The younger men used to look
at him with an expression which, inter¬
preted, seemed to mean. “We wonder
if such spirited pugnacity will last
with us through the years. »»
. Some of the old-timers seem to be
able to stand fatigue better than the,
youngsters. Perhaps It Is because they
have taken better care of themselves.
It is known that several of the old
senators for years have set for them¬
selves daily certain physical exercises
and have seen to'it that no matter
wliat else was going on tb claim the.it
attention they should hot neglect the
duty of keeping well physically.
Age Is supposed to mellow men’s
Jemperaments and tempers. There
have been some members of congress,
however, who kept until the very end
the' sharp readiness to say the hard
tiling. Others who were known for their
' quick resentment in youth have found
a means through years of life to duU
the edges of their swords without dull
Ing the point. One occasionally hears
as harsh a tiring from the lips of age
as from the lips of youth in the con¬
gress of the United States, but in the
main the aged trust mor^ to counsel.

Turkish Flag Floats Over Suburb
of Adrianople. 4
;*
KNOWN AS STRATEGIC POINT
"Karagach, which recently saw the
Grecian flag furled from Its flagstaffs
and the Turkish crescent flaunt gayly
in Its place, has long been a chattel
or suburb of the larger city, Adriano¬
ple. And Adrianople, down-at the
heels though it Is, has been the ‘apple
of-the-eye' of many a Turkish sultan,
because It was the first city of any size
which the Turks ever captured In Eu¬
rope,*’ says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society issued from its
Washington headquarters.
"Karagach Is a strategic point along
the Constantinople - Sophia - Belgrade
railway, which is Bulgaria's outlet to
the Aegean. Recent reports say that
the Greeks have moved out bag and
baggage, leaving Karagach dead -and
the corpse dismantled, their gutted
houses looking down in their ruin and
desolation upon the naked streets.
They have gone out on the plain be¬
yond to build near Ourli, a city of
their own, and have called It Qrestlas
after one of their heroes at Troy, the
name which they hod formerly glvqn
to Karagach,
Was Home of the Sultan.
"Karagach, one of the five suburbs
of Adrianople, which lies to the west
of the city near the confluence of the
Arda and the Maritza, Is Western In
its general design, with detached resi¬
dences in gardens, of the modem Euro¬
pean type. Adrianople, however, Is
distinctly oriental In character and
has for many years been a strongly
fortified outpost of the Turks on the
frontier of the Balkans.
"Many of history’s pageants have
been staged In the ancient city. Had¬
rian gave it his name; the Romatt em¬
peror of the East, Valens, met h{?
death at the hands of the Goths before
It ; Huns, Greeks, Bulgars and Crusad¬
ers have swept over and around ft
The Torts captured It In 1361, and
after that time until the fall of Cbm
stantinoopte it was the home of the
Turkish sultan—the baslsof the sen¬
timent which the Turks profess for it.
"Though many travelers think that
the great Suleimanieh at Constantino¬
ple is the most magnificent of the
mosques of the East, the architect St¬
rain considered the mosque at Adriano¬
ple Ms, best work. He is reported to<
have said that he designed the Shah
zadeh hi Constantinople when he was
an apprentice, the great mosque of
Suleiman when he was a journeyman
and the Selimieh of Adrianople when
he was a master builder.
Removing Hate an Affront.
"Some delightful stories, too, have
been linked with the dramatic history
of the city. Once during the time of
Suleiman the Magnificent, his son vis¬
ited Adrianople and the ambassadors
from the courts of Europ<r‘came to pre¬
sent their respects. The last diplo¬
matic-representative to arrive in the
city was the Persian, who was aston¬
ished and angered by the fact that
the Europeans took off their hats to
him. It is a serious breach o£ eti¬
quette for a Mohammedan to uncover
his head in public, so he demanded an
explanation. The master of ceremo¬
nies poured oil on the troubled wa¬
ters by telling him that the Christians
thereby Indicated their willingness to
lay-their heads at the feet of the sul¬
tan.
** Karagach was a Bulgarian suburb
of the main town in the days before
the World war, and the Maritka, on
which It stands, flows picturesquely
through Bulgarian legends and the na¬
tional hymn of that country. The town
la lighted by petroleum lamps and
from It there i* a continual tramp of
traffic over its two-mlle causeway to
the main part of the city.
Costume* Are Heavy Burden.
"Back In the old days Bulgarian
girls, and occasionally a married wom¬
an a little more daring than the rest,
used to gather in some convenient
plhce out of doors, where they were
joined by the youths of the town and
the village piper, for their favorite
pastime—songs Termed and dancing.
“There they in line with the
horovodka, or dance-leader, at one end.
This young lady started the song and
half the performers accompanied her,
the other half repeating the verses
after them. Then the next yonng lady
in the line started another song, and
so the fun continued until everyone
had had a chance. n
"But the American girl would be ut¬
terly astonished to understand bow
the peasant women could dance be¬
cause of the "ponderous weight of their
silver ornaments and their garments.
One active English woman who in*
vested in a full Bulgarian cor‘ame for
a masquerade party found that she
could endure the weight of It f«* only
half an hour at a time."
POKES DYNAMITE; LOSES LIFE
Delayed Charge Drive* Shovel Through ‘
" Worker's Head.
■
Because he moved a stick of dy¬
namite to learn why it had not ex¬
ploded, Edward Owens, sixty-seven, Is
dead at Milford,'Pa.
Owens was digging holes for electric
light poles near Milford, using dyna¬
mite in rocky ground. When a charge
• was slow to explode he moved the stick
with n shovel. The explosion followed,
driving the shovel handle through the
head and badly mangling his body. 1
