Political Enemies But the -Best o e Personal Friends. s ', zach. McGhee in the State. , Washington, May 12.-'Every one c here knows of my personal affection I- for the speaker of this house," were r the words of John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader, in a speech on e the floor of the house a few weeks ago. Then he proceeded to make a most scathing denunciation of the rules of the house and the methods e of governing, for which lhe held the speaker in tihe main responsible. La ter on as his attack grew in warmth, some one on the republican side in terrup)ted to remindl him of his dlee 5 larat ion of affection for Mr. Cannon 0 withI which lhe had startedl out. ''Per sonal affection, I said,'" replied Mr. Williams, ''not political." This personal friendship het ween 0these two bitter political antagonists, 0 the leaders of thle two parties in theI h uouse, who never fail to strike at each - ote ihall the mighty strength each possesses, is knowvn not only to 7 the members of the house but it is of national note, having been the sub 3 ject of frequent publicity and wide 5 comment. In an earlier day one would - have been disposed to ask if their an tagonism in the lists of political de 2 bate and manoeuvre interferes with their personal friendship. But so 3 great is the good feeling of these days gthlat the question peop)le ask is rath er, Does not their friendship inter 6fere with their political antagonism? 6For the country expects and requires 3th~at they shall be political antago mists. It was my privilege, a rare one in (deed, at the birthlday party the oth 6 er night to witness a scene between these tw~o great antagonists, a scene e which, all-in-all, I think, was one of e the prettiest I hlave ever been privi leged to witness. By chlanee, I was 'the only newvspaper man present, so e thlat thle incident 1haM not before been published. I was standing beside the ,veteran Uncle Joe, whlose 70th birth d (ay was being celebrated, touching Shis elbow in fact, when John Sharp fWilliams came up to say good night. 5, "I came to tell you good night, Mr. Speaker, and to say that I hope you a will have many more like this," he f said, holding out his hand. r Mr. Cannon was writing his name 0 .01n one of tile souvenir photographs which wore given to each guest. He stopped in the midldle of hlis name, 1grasped the democraitic leader's hand -withl unmistakable warmth.

The two statesinen look ed into each otlier's faces for a mo ment in silence, holding each other's hands and the kindly, genial counte nance of each beaming with the ten derest rega'd. Neither uttered more' than the fewest ivords, and the elo quence was in the gentleness of their voices and their affectionate atti tudes. "Good night-John Sharp God bless you," said the speaker slowly, emphasizing each word as he' is wont to do when presiding over theh ouse. "We fight-and we hit hard blows-but."-here lie slowly raised his loose hand and made a cir Ce around the wiaist of Mr. Wil i ams-''we never'-hit-blowv--the belt.-And1 while I shall fight with all the str'engthr I have left,-! feel no un easiness that. if' you win-the country; --will-go-to-destruction.'' Mr'. Williams pressed the hand a' little tighter. "'I thank you, Mr. Speaker," he said simply. "May wve. hoth live toi hit many more blowvs."~ And as lie walked slowvly arway, edlginig his way through the vast. cr'owd, followed by the affectionate' gaze of "Uncle Joe," every one of thel ittle group who chanced to be standling near must have thought what a simple yet magnificent exhibition of ''That stern joy whlich wvarriors feel in foemen worthy of their steel." His Reason. ' "Now then, Tommy," said the teacher, "is it right to say 'the wvin ter has wvent?' " "No 'm I" yelled Tommy pr'omptly'. "'Cause if yer did me foist thing: yer know along would come a bliz zard an' make yer out a liar." Advertised Letters. B-Led Buzizhardt, N. A. Buckmn-', Lennie Boyd, J. Y. Best. C-JI. C.
