SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS John W. Davis, son of John James, and Anna Kennedy Davis.W was born in Clarksburg. W. Va.. on Easter Sunday, 1873. Following his graduation from Washington and tee University with B. A. and Bachelor of Law degrees, he acted as assistant professor of law at his alma mater, served a term in the West Virginia legislature, and practiced law with his father in Clarksburg. In 1910 he was elected to Congress. Davis was attacked by the “drys'’ during the fight over the Webb bill, prohibiting shipping of liquor into dry States. CHAPTER VII mOHN W. DAVIS’ congressional career came to an abrupt end. He had long cherished the ambition to be a United States judge. When Judge Goff resigned from the circuit court bench Davis’ friends urged his appointment to fill the vacancy. President Wilson had already made up his mind to appoint Judge Charles Weeds of South Carolina, and Davis was doomed to disappointment. A short time later, however, his gloom—if any—was dispelled by his appointment as United States solicitor general, and he resigned Beauty A Gleamy Mass of Hair 35c “Dandcrine” docs Wonder' for Any Girl’s Hair Girls!

his seat in the House to take over this office cn Aug. 30, 1913. Though attracting little publicity, the solicitor generalship is one of the Government's u*ost important jobs. It had been held by many distinguished men. Trial Lawyer The solicitor general is the trial lawyer for the Government, and an average of 45,000 cases instituted by the United States pend at all times in the courts under Federal jurisdiction. At every term of the Supreme Court at least seventy-five cases brought by the Government are on the calendar, and the number is more apt to run over 100. Though known now as a corporation attorney and called by his enemies “the lawyer of Wall Street,” Davis, during his service as solicitor general, represented the Government in the famous Adamson eight-hour-day case, the International Harvester, United States Steel Corporation, Reading Railroad and anthracite coal operator cases, and a dozen more anti-trust suits. Outside of “office hours” Davis mad eat least one address during his solicitor generalship which attracted nation-wide attention for its simplicity, compactness and beauty. It was his Flag day address, made at Washington, June 14, 1918, and later broadcasted throughout the country on postcards and banners in connection with tSte Liberty loan campaigns. Davis occupied a seat next to President Wilson during the ecermonies. When he finished speaking the President arose, advanced toward him and took his hand. “A masterpiece!" the President said.

So brilliant was Davis' record as trial lawyer for the Government that his appointment was urged to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench left by the death of Justice Lurton, and again the vacancy left by the retirement of Charles E. Hughes. But Davis was destined for other things. A short time before the end of the war he was sent abroad at the head of # commission which was to confer with a similar German body at Berne, Switzerland, regarding the humane treatment and exchange of prisoners of war. He arrived at Berne, but before his duties were well under way came the resignation, due to ill health, of Walter Hines Page, American ambassador to England. In American President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing were conferring on the appointment of Page's successor. Several names were suggested, but none seemed to suit. In the course of the conference they called in, for some purpose, a confidential clerk from the State Department The clerk happened to know what the conference was about and respectfully suggested the name of John W. Davis. Sent to England The suggestion was accepted almost immediately, and within a few hours Davis received a cablegram directing him to return at once to the United States and prepare to serve as ambassador to the court of St. James. That, at least. Is one story. Another is that the President had selected Davis for the Ilritish post even before Page’s retirement. Regardless of which story is correct, Davis came back to America in November. 1919, on the same ship with Henry J. Allen, who. while doing Y. M. C. A. work abroad, had been elected Governor of Kansas. He returned to Europe on the ship that bore President Wilson to the Paris conference. From the day of his arrival he wa*., a favorite with the British. They liked his manners, his studious- ; ness, his tact, his particular brand of humor and his advocacy of the League of Nations. Credit for his successful ambassadorial career is given in large measure to Davis, second wife, whom he had married while In Cohgess in : , 1912 - She was one of the three Bassel sisters—Miss El'en Bassel of Clarksburg—famous throughout the south for their beauty and charm. Davis’ career as an ambassador ■ came to a close In 1921, when President Harding appointed Col. George Harvey to succeed him.

INDIANA GLUE FACTORY Autumn Breezes Smothered by Sealing Wax at Statehouse. Stimulating fragrance of autumnal herbiage ana lush breezes from the brilliantly colored woods find no quarter in Indiana's Statehouse. For there the acrid odors of burning sealing wax mingle affectionately with the scent of new wooden box©3 and the three hundred odd clerks and officials stalk the marble corridors with their noses in the air. But voters must vote and no one can keep them from it, so thirty-five or forty men keep on tleing up big bundles of ballots, sealing them with the odiferous wax and packing them in nice new boxes to be shipped to ninety-two county clerks. The noise they make sounds like freight engines playing hide and seek in a cabinet factory. Politics must be served regardless of noses and ears.
