WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
There has been quite a lot written
about the part the South took in
shaping the affairs of the Govern
ment in the years before the war.
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe and‘
others are often mentioned. But
they are all dead.
Looking back over the years since
the war we find the names of many
great southerners who were sent to
Washington. Many of them also are
dead.
It is probable that the South would
have sent more of her ablest sons to
Congress and the Senate if we had
not felt that we were in a helpless
and hopeless minority.
That is all passed now and it is
not worth while to grieve over spilt
milk. I am just going ov-r it pre
{iminary to a word about what South
erners are doing in Washington at
this time,
4 * ¥ %
We are, of course, all proud of the
fact that the President is a Southern
man. Wilson was born in Staunton,
Va., and his biography records tue
fact that his boyhood was partly
spent in Augusta and that he prac
ticed law two years in Atlanta.
I remember well how he used to
come up to the Constitution office
in 1881 and 1882 and that during
the first Cotton Exposition, which
was held on the site of the present
Exposition Cotton Mills, another
young fellow would come with him-—
Walter H. Page, a magazine writer.
They would come to s°e Grady and
Uncle Remus.
Woodrow Wilson was a siender
young man very much like Colonel
0. H. Langford, of Marietta. Little
did 1 dream that one would become
the best President this country has
had since the war and that the other
would become Ambassador to Lng
land, the most important diplomatic
post in the world.
* * * *
Then there is McAdoo, Secretary
of the Treasury, ‘“‘Born near Mariet
ta, Ga., October 31, 1863.” The At
torney General, Mcßeynolds, a Ten
nesean; the Postmaster General,
Burleson, a Texan; the Secretary of
the Navy, Daniels, a North Carolin
jan. Certainly, as Ben Hill said,
‘“We are in our father’'s house' when
the cabinet meets. :
It is a great mistake to think that
sort of thing amounts to little in a
practical way. To illustrate: We
have today two United States Judges
in Georgia. The Northern District
is presided over by a man appointed
by Grover Cleveland. He selected
Judge Newnan as representative of
the people of the State. Everybody
honors him and everybody loves him.
‘How about the Southern District?
Speer was appointed by President
Arthur. What for? Because he was
a renegade Democrat, first an 111-1
dependent and then a Republican 1‘01“
spoils. And Georgia hangs her head
because this man stands practicallyj
impeached in the Capitol, besmirch
ing the fair name of the State with
his misdoings. Let us be thankfui
that Woodrow Wilson is there to give
us a true Georgian when Speer is
‘removed.
& * * *
" Over in the House is the great lead
er, Underwood, and Speaker Clark,
both from the South. The South
does not have to sit on a side seat
since Cannon walked the plank and
every district in the whole Southern
country ought to send its ablest men
there and keep them there,
Georgia has some good ones and
they are attentive to their work.
Adamson, of the Fourth, is Chair
man of the Committee that built the
Panama Canal and there is not a man
in the House who has really more
influence unless it be Underwood,
the recognized leader. There is some
good Senatorial timber in the Geor
gia delegation but I forbear to men
tion names lest I release a hive of
Senatorial bees.
* * * *
Let's look in on the Senate.
. Last year they passed the Tariff
bill. Who was Chairman? Simmons,
of North Carolina. Who really
shaped the Parcel Post law the year
before? Hoke Smith and the Chair
man of the Postoffice Committee,
Bourne, of Oregon. Who was Chair
man of the Committee that framed
the Currency bill? Owen, of Okla
homa, born in Virginia. What's the
biggest question before the country
today? Foreign relations, of which
Committee Bacon was Chairman and
of which Stone of Missouri is now
Chairman.
* - ”
’ Southern Senators dominate the
fSenate: John Sharp Williams, James,
)of Kentucky, Bankhead, of Alabama,
YSwauaon and Martin, of Virginia,
Simmons and Overman, of North
Carolina, Stone and Reed, of Mis
souri, Fletcher and Bryan, of Florida,
Gore and Owen, of Oklahoma, Shields
of Tennesee and Hoke Smith, of
Georgia. These are the forceful
ones. Culberson, of Texas, is perma
nently broken down in health, and
Tillman is too feeble to work with
his old time force but it is these
Southerners who battle witlr the Re
publicans.
There are some strong men from
the North and West and I would not
digparage them, but the real leaders
of the Senate today are Southern
mei.
* # * *
Also, I should like to say there
are some splendid men on the Re
publican side. 1 used to think the
Senate was Millionaire’s Club. May
be it was, but it is not now. There
is mighty little of low politics play
ed in the Senate. Men like Root,
and Lodge, and LaFollette, Kenyon,
Smoot, Borah, Page, Gallinger, and
Clapp have my profound admiration
which is not lessened because they
are Republicans.
I am too old in politics to believe
that all the Democrats are going to
heaven and that all the Republicans
are going elsewhere,
* 2 * *
As Mr. Dooley says, this lesscn
teaches that the South can have its
part in National affairs if it will.
Lul the oniy cifcelive way is to send
to Washington the ablest men who
will consent to go and if they make
good keep them there.
If a man can be improved upon it
is always in order to do it, but a
change just because some ambitious
fellow wants to go to Washington is
unwise,
I have seen a number of new Sen
ators coeme in within the last two and
a half years and they don’t cut much
ice. A man who has had previous ex
perience in public life and won a
National reputation can go to the
front without delay bu* without that
sort of start he can do little else thaa
answer roll called and vote. James,
of Kentucky stepped naturally from
the House to the Senate. Under
wood will do the same thing.
Vardaman bhad executive and poli
t.cal experience, but he is a man of
intense feeling and little diplomac,.
He does not know how to win from
the opposition, or perhaps he would
rather say a thing that sounds smart
back home than to carry a point.
It is not possible to make a big man
out of a small one by putting him
in a big position. It is possible to
take a promising young man and
make a big man out of him by keep
ing him on the job.
Most of the real work is done in
Committee or Caucus. It takes de
monstrated knowledge and the con
fidence of his fellow Senators to
make a man a real force in the body.
There is not much oratory in the
Senate. There is a good deal of yell
ing in the House but the Senate is
not much more than a big meeting
of a board of directors. Half that
is said cannot be heard in the gal
leries. 1t is rather conversational.
Small pototoes do most of the talk-
A substantial business man, whose
judgement is sound, who can help
other men who are trying to do the
right and wise thing to reach a safe
conclusion, will have more influence
in the Senate than even a spread
eagle orator like Joe Bailey—bril
liant but he didn't have their con
fidence,
* * * -
Robust health is very necessary.
Otherwise it is impossible to work.
Some seats in the Senate might as
well be vacant. Culberson, of Texas,
will never enter the Chamber again.
Stone’s health is very poor. So with
Tillman and others., Hoke Smith
is fifty-nine but his physician has
warned him time and again against
the strain under which he works.
Bacon entered the Senate at fifty
six but was in the prime of life. He
had time to make a career as he lived
five years beyond the allotted three
score years and ten.
Senator West is sixty-five. He s
in fine health but is not a candidate,
While Governor Brown is older than
the others who have been mentioned
in connection with the Senate hLe
takes admirable care of himself. Sla
ton, Felder and Hardwick are in the
MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
pink of condition and are all young
men,
| lltis going to be a very pretty race
but not necessarily a hot one. Slaton
is going to stay on the job as Govern
or. Hardwick will be in Congress.
Hoke Smith has no opposition, and
even if he should have will not come
to Georgia till Congress adjourns,
Governor Brown, if he gets into the
race will not make speeches. It looks
like a quiet time for Mr. Felder. He
will have tc punch the political air
ail by himself,

| MACON, GA., CHILD
- Made Strong and Well by Vinol,
: When we tell you that Vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock for
aking weak, puay, ailing children
' strong, robust and rosy we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds of mothers,
J. L. Fickling, Macon, Ga., says:
“My child was very thin and delicate,
;0o appetite, nervous, and did not
sleep well. Doctors did not help her,
{Vinol was recommended and the
. change after a fair trial was wonder
iful. She sleeps soundly all night, has
a splendid appetite and has gained in
, weight. 1 wish every mother knew
| what Vinol will do for delicate chil
dren.”
‘What Vinol did for this littie gir
;it will do for every weak and alling
child because sickly children need
'the strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vinol con
tains—that is why Vinol builds them
up quickly and gives them a fine,
healthy color. It is pleasant to take
and we guarantee that the results will
satisfy you—money back if they do
not.
