By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The vice president of the United States, James 8. Sherman, I8 perhaps in one way not the happiest man this republic claims among its citizenship. Although he is the sec- ond officer in the government, he finds that he is virtually chained to his seat except on those rare occasions when the imperative call of duty to his pri- vate concerns or his family makes him arrange things so that he can get away. The senate of the United States has no president pro tem. Senator Wil- liam P. Frye of Maine, who was the duly elected presiding officer to act in the absence of the vice presidenmt, died last summer, and ever since con- gress came together the senate has been trying without success to elect Mr. Frye's successor. The progressive Republicans want one senator named publicans want another, while the Democrats stand by a third candidate. The result has been a deadlock which to take Senator Frye's place. There 1s no immediate prospect that an elec- the controversy seems to be willing to yield. His Vote Might Be Needed. As a result of this trouble the vice president finds it difficult to get away from Washington. The Republican majority in the senate is small and self and so the conservative Republi- Sherman going to come to a vote for fear that the day for them in case there were a tle, for the vice president of the United States has no voice in the gov- between the two sides. Mr. Sherman did go away for a few days recently and a Democratic sena- tor was appointed president pro tem, but the Republicans took good care ] that during the time of leave nothing should come to a vote which was of the least legislative importance. Mr. Sherman sits in the chair now almost with the “continuous regularity” with which Mr. Fairbankd sat in it. The former vice president was away from his duties in the senate on only two { occasions during the four years of his | incumbency, once when he went into the south to address a gathering of Methodist churchmen and once when he went to Canada to represent this government at some great officlal func- tlon., Mr. Fairbanks always has been known as a strong party man and while the following story has been told a good many times, it may not be out of place to repeat it because it has to do with one of the two trips which he Fairbanks and the Methodists.

Every day I carry hundreds of messages to many thousands of men and women. Never was there such a busy worker, such a tirelcss worker as L. . A purse is lost; I restore it. A home is without a maid, a maid is without a place; I bring them togetker. New furniture is bought; I FIND A PUR- CHASER for the old. How many attics have I emptied to the housewife’s profit. Is there laundering, scrubbing, white-washing, painting, sodding, to be done? leave it io me. One man has a house for sale; another is look- ing for a home. Thex consult me, and lo, the housu changes hands. Bookkeepers, salesmen, stenographers, watch men—all kinds of workers—look to me wo keep pay day alive. * Merchants and manufacturer call me, saying: “I want such and such help.” In the morning they have only to choose. How my work is appreciated. People never tire of praising me. I am so swift, so faithful ; yet I make no promises. I simply do the best I can, for one and all. - And how cheaply I work. I have sold second hand automobiles at the cost of a gallon of gaso- line. A man bought a piece of property one day; the next he sent me out to sell it; the next, the deed was recorded. He made $600.00 less my fee of 30c. Is it any wonder I am popular" And jsr’t it a won- der I am content to dress in six-point type?
