OCCUPATION OF LEGISLATORS

Lawyers Again to the Front in State Senate-—Few Farmers. Indianapolis, December 4.The senajie, at the coming session of the legislature, shows symptoms of again being top-heavy with lawyers among its members. There is nothing new about a large number of lawyers in the senate however, because it seems that lawyers, more than any others, go after these positions. A local publishing house has is-siw-t! the first edition of a legislative directory, which it issues every session. The first edition does not show the occupation or business of all the members of the two branches ° r legislature, but it makes corrections and additions to the list as information is obtained, until the final edition is presumed to cont.ain this information about all of the

members. The first edition of the directory show's the names of sixteen lawyers who are members of the senate. They are: D. Frank Culbertson, Vincennes: Edward P. Eisner. Seymour; James R. Fleming, Portland: Willard B. Gemmill, Marion; Charles A. Hagerty, South Bend: Rowland R. Jackson, Versailles: Dwight M. Kinder, Gary; Franklin McCray. Indianapolis; Harry E. Xegley, Indianapolis; John D. Reidelbach, Wina-" mac; Arthur Robinson, Indianapolis: Abram Simmons, Bluffton; Oscar B. Smith, Knox; John E. Spann, Indianapolis; Glenn Van Auken, Auburn, and Austin Retherfoi-d, Anderson. It is understood that there are other lawyers among the senators. The directory shows only four farmers in the sensate. They are Pinkney S. Armstrong, Owensville;

Ohmig Bird, Ft Wayne; Thomas Dorrell, Greenwood, and James H. Humphreys, Linton. The first edition of the directory classifiesyother members of the senate as follows: Manufacturers—Walter McConaha, .Richmond; 'Andrew H. Beardsley, Elkh.rt; William S. Mercer, Peru; William M. White, Crawfordsville; j Aaron Wolfson, Indianapolis, and j Gabriel Summers, South Bend.

Bankers—Robert Bracken, Frankfort, and Joseph M. Hirsch, Cannelton. Editors—- Walter S. Chambers, Newcastle; G. 11. Hazen, Bcronville, and Edgar F. Metzger, Logansport. Retired —William E: English, Indianapolis, and James Porter, Washington. Physician—William T. Greene, Albion. Druggist—Joseph P. iHemphill, Rising Sun. Coal Operator—Jacob C. Kolsem, Terre Haute. Lumber Dealer—Charles W. Lanz, Bedford. Hardware Dealer —Marion H. Masten, South Whitley. Funeral Director—E. A. Norman, Hope. Shorthand Reporter and Teacher Alva O. Reser, Lafayette. Insurance—Michael C. Thornton, New Albany. Nine of the senators are left in the unclassified list as far as occupation or business is concerned.

In the House

Only forty-six of the 100 members of the house are classified thus far as to their business or occupation. Only nine of these are listed as farmers, hut it is thought that when the list is completely classified it will be found that the number of farmers in the house will reach twenty-five to thirty. At the session of 101 5 the directory classed thirtysix members of the house as farmers, but there were other land owners among the members that brought the total up to forty-two. These men formed what was known as a farmers’ club, which exerted considerable influence in the matter of legislation.

There were thirty lawyers in the house two years ago. Among the forty-six thus far classified for ihe 1017 session are nineteen lawyers. If the same ratio were followed through the membership of 100 there would be about forty lawyers in the house. It is thought, however, that the actual number will be about the same as in 1915.

The nineteen lawyers named are: Emil V. Anderson, Elkhart; Edwin C. Davis, Crown Point; Jesse Eschbach, Warsaw: Russell P. Harker. Frankfort; Robert H. Hougham, Franklin; Donald Jameson, Indiannnolis: William R. Jinnett, Manila, who is also classed as a minister; Otto H. Krieg, Huntington; Robert W. McClaskey, Lagrange; Charles A. McGonagle, Muncie: Phil M. McNagney, Columbia City; Newman T Miller, Kokomo; Richard V. Sipe,‘ Indianapolis; William E. Williams, Booflville; William L. Wood, Parr; William D. Woods, Indianapolis;* Jonathan S. Yoder, Goshen; IHarvey Harmon, Princeton, and Otis Cook, Terre Haute.

The classification of other members of the house thus far is as follows: Real Estate Dealers —George N. Montgomery, Indianapolis; John S. Allred, Anderson; Luke Duffey, Indianapolis; Harry B. Dynes, Indianapolis; Emil V. Anderson, Elkhart; Jacob D. Miltonberger, Muncie, and Martin J. Hyland, Indianapolis. Physicians—J. L. Axby, Lawrence-.

burg, and Charles M. Cogginß, Covington. Merchant—William H. Bartel, Jr., Richmond. Farmers—Daniel M. Blackmore Greensburg; Burton Green, Deedsville; George Y. Helper, South Bend; Janies K. Mason, Milton; Charles L. Mendenhall, .Camby; William J. Miles, New Market; Artemus H. Myers, Xoblesville; Johr* Ryan, Vallonia; Abe J. Westfall Vincennes. Salesman—R. Felix Geddes, Indianapolis. Circus Owner —Frank H. Gentry. Bloomington. Ministers William R. Jin nett, Manila, and Charles A. Johnson Gas City. Grain Dealer—John J. O verm ye r. Routs. Contractor- —Captain James E, Southard, Michigan City. Bankers Luther F. Symons, Lewisville, and Elmer Johnson, Monterey. The remaining fifty-four members of the house will, it is said, be, classified as to business or occupation in the succeeding issues of the directory.

GOOD MANNERS AND TRADE

Education in some of the finer points of what, we commonly call “manners” is to be part of the coming course of study of salesmanship for Americans, if they succeed in getting a share of the trade of South America. Whether we deserve it or not, we are not in high standing in this regard among Latin Americans. Frederick J. Stimson, United States ambassador to Argentina, recently emphasized this point in an address, and pointed out that we are confronted with other problems than factory costs and bank credits if we are to make headway toward permanent business relations. One of the first essentials is a better understanding of the kind of people we. are to deal with. In the first place, says dor Stimson, the people of Argentina have a civilization older than ours. They have a university at Cordoba, in the foothills of the Andes, some twenty years older than (Harvard, and as Latins they take pride in the belief that they have a culture dating back 2,000 years or more, while they say that the Anglo-Sax-ons are entitled to make no such boast. Of course, if we are seeking them as customers we shall be too polite to dispute them on this score, whether we agree with them fully or not. But it is true that 'they do place emphasis on educations, that they have an altruistic conception of the duties of those who are more fortunate in financial affairs than their neighbors, and that they do not esteem an idler merely because he is rich. it is their conception of social ethics that a man so situated, as to be able to do so should qualify himself to become a leader, or at least contribute something to the thought of the world. High value is placed upon the honors of learning. It is a fact that in a South American country a visitor will meet a surprisingly large number of men versed in international law and history.

It may be disconcerting to Americans to find they are not highly regarded wherever they may go, but our experience in Europe in the years immediately preceding the war was beginning to disillusion us. There were exceptions, of course, hut mainly Americans were rated for their ability to spend money and for nothing much else, and were treated with kindly tolerance by those who had’ designs on their purses. In South America the situation will be reversed, if we are going after business seriously. We shall have need of all our artifice to make a good impression, and undo it he damage already done. —We shall need to study etiquette out of a new book We are noted now for being brusque and businesslike. We must cultivate the graces, too. An Argentinian, for example, regards it as the hight of bad manners ito address a letter to “John Smithy care of Sen or So-and-So.” He would write it, “Senor So-and-So, for John Smith.” We call this nonsense, and are too

intent on our main purpose, which is to sell the goods, to pay attention to little things. But the reformation must come. It is going to be impressed upon Americans, at their cost, if they do not heed. We have a reputation for “hustle” already made, but it will not avail among a people who do not particularly regard “hustle” as a cardinal virtuie. It is admitted that We have kind hearts, on the whole, but the opinion of us is that we are thoughtless. Lktins think that haste does not excuse indifference. There is also a strong idea that we are too vocal in our assertion to our

democratic spirit, which seems to men of sensitive natures to be in bad tasrte. And at any rate, whether our mahners are worse than other people’s or not, it is up to us to change them if we are to make

substantial progress in the new field in a business way.—Portland Oregonian.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

When I have got a goodly wad, I say that wealth’s an empty gawd, a cheap, deluding snare; with fluent tongue and aspect wise, I stand around and moralize, and roast the millionaire. I look with sorrow and disdain on those who sweat and strive and strain to get another plunk; I tell them money is but dross, a sordid dream, a total loss, a worthless lot of junk. But when I’ve had some small reverse, that makes my bank roll look sick, 05 worse, on lucre I am bent; I hustle till I melt my fat, and you may see me break a slat, to nail another cent. Forgotten all the platitudes that I dispensed in lofty moods, in times when I was flush; forgotten all the moral saws, and every text that ever was, as I pursue the cush. And when I've made a roll again, I sternly lecture weary men, and chide them for their greed, for striving for the picayune, and say the trail behind them’s strewn with morals gone to seed.

GETTING RID OF ALL WORRY

It Is Quite Easy to IK) It If You Know How. It exemplified an old and drastic method of getting rid of worry, but it seemed like a startling novelty when it happened. The four of us were out on the lake fishing. We had had a fair morning’s sport along the edge of the rushes where (the water was about four feet deep, and where the bass were feeding in the early hours. The sun had risen in a muggy atmosphere and there was no wind. The clouds began to gather in the northeast and a thunderstorm threatened. Well, you know how a fellow hates to get wet, even if he has his fishing clothes on. Two of the crowd began to get nervouis. “We’d better •pull in till the storm is over,” they kept saying. But the other two couldn’t see it that way. The bass were biting, and maybe it wouldn’t rain. And “pulling in” meant rowing about two miles to where the dry woods were, and putting an end to the morning’s sport. It would be noon before we could get out again —and bass don’t bite at noon. But the chaps were afraid of getting wet continued to bother us. “We’re going to get soaked,” declared Bob.

“Qh,” said Bill, “what, do you care? Them ain’t new clothes you got on, and a little wettin’ won’t give you pea-new-mony on a day like this, shut up—l’m about to get a bite!”

‘Well, you may like to sit around in wet clothes, but I ain’t partial to it Let’s get the anchor up.’ Bill reeled in and put his roc carefully under ithe seat. Then he saw that the minnow pail was shut and secured and that the string of fish was tied tightly to the gunwale. “Are you all ready?” he said, “Yes,” said Bob. “Then here we go!” cried Bill. And he deliberately upset the boat. ;

Standing up to our armpits in the lake, we sputtered objurgations. But Bill was calmly righting the boat and climbing back into it. “Now,” he remarked, as he adjusted a new. minnow and made a magnificent cast, “we won’t hear no more about getting wet. There ain’t nothin’ further to worry about. Let’s fish.”

And it was as he said. When we got through cussing we had an elegant time and feared no rain that might fall. We caught a lof. of fish, too, and by the time we got ashore for lunch we were dry and happy.

THE DOMESTIC LOAN SHARK

Speaking of loan sharks, wouldn’t wife make a good one? When poo*pa is forced to borrow some of “her money” with which to pay the gas bill, she wants at. least 50 cents interest on each dollar, and besides she requires a solemn oath that he will pay the principal and interest Saturday. When she finally agrees to let him have the sum, she orders him to leave the room while she gets it. She counts the money before she calls him back into the room, but to be doubly sure she counts it again as she hands it over to him, and she is a little short. It was an honest mistake, of course, but she never makes the honest mistake of getting a little too much. Before placing it in his hands she has another understanding about the interest, and makes him once more declare upon oath that he will return the money on pay day. Then she

hands it to him, and as she hands over "her money” you can tell by her looks, by her actions and by what she says that she feels as if she—poor little woman that' she is —is supporting the family.—Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
