"I have found," he continued, "that the majority of divorces are the result of the petty meanness in folks the trivial peeves of everyday living. "When wives file .suit alleging that their husband are cruel, it's a T0 to 1 chance that they don't mean that they have been kicked or slapped or physically mistreated.

"They charge their wives -with having made theni the target of household bric-a-brac or of tossing crocks at their heads, but the fact of the matter is the divorce bills are camouflaging the real trouble. I believe the majority of unhappy husbands are tired of their wives because tho latter sulk and refuse to talk when they are displeased with something the husband has or has not done.

For a decade or longer lie had been known among his colleagues as "the unbeatable Afhhrook." but the tidal wave of last fall engulfed many who had never tasted befeat before, artel anions them was Mr. Ashbroofc. "I am quitting congress without a sour stomach." snid he, today. "I

grateful to the people of my

district. I hae mado an hortest effort to represent them faithfully, and now I am going to devote myself to my private affairs." Mr. Ashbrook is a banker, a newspaper publisher and a farmer and there will be no occasion for him to rust as it is a man's job to look after his Interests. Th' farm he owns has been in his family over 100 years. Iiis granfath r and his father owned it before him. lie enpages in general farminu and stock

There are now fewer than 40 members of the house who have served longer than ho. More than 100 members with whom he lias served during his congressional career have passed to the . unfathomed beyond, and mere than -0 who t-erved with him in the house are row United States senators. Ashbiook was one of Champ Clark's strongest friends and supporters. "I think that if the Almighty ever created an absolutely honest man, that man was Champ Clark." he paid. Ashbrook long aco became known period as a member of the house has specialized on personal service, which so strengthened him with his constituents as to cause his colleagues to predict that he never

could be beaten

erift of prophecy it may bo stated

that it took a cataclysm to knock him out. Specialised on IVninns. Ashbrook loo ajio became known nationally as a promoter of pension legislation. He was the author of the widows pension bill and much other general pension legislation but it was in getting special pension bills through cetngress that he shone with brightest luster. His success in that line of endeavor was perfectly amazing and regardless of whether the republicans or the democrats were in power he got through the same enormous crop of special bills. During his 14 yers in congre-ss he succeeded in having over S00 persons grunted pensions

by special acts and he assisted more ' can meet than 4.000 others in getting pensions ! come to a

"Another tiling I would like to say is that members of congress as a whole do not deserve the brickbats that are thrown at them by an element of thi population that is more or less given to muck-raking. It is an open season to jump on congrer-s. My observation is that the membership of the house as a whole is high -class. I do not believe there is a man in congress today vho has been corrupted or who could be corrupted. In my long experience as a member of the bouse are really rea dorren members who could be 'reached or coiruotid. I think "the members o: th chouse are reallv rc-

to the will and wishes of

their constituents and that this' is true, also, to a greater extent than ever of the senate since Sie popular election of Senators came into ve.gue. While many members of the house prefer a longer term than two years, my judgment is that it is in the interest of the people to limit the term as it is." l'av rs Smaller Houc.
