Some may complain about {the numerous callers as women do of | their numerous society engagenients | but he would miss them, as she would | miss them, if they did not come. | He has many requests—and in all the years the forms of possible re- quests have not yet been made. This 'is indicated by the fact that a new lone comes forward every day. The |imagination of a large constituency |is very prolific when it comes to mak- ing up requests for things for the | congressman to do. | One warm spring day I found a ‘caller in my office when I arrived in {the early morning. He was a tall, good-looking young man from Illi- nois. I know the type as I came | from that séction of the country my- Iself and was bashful, in those days. | A letter of introduction from a |good friend said that this was Mr. Charles Sughroe of Stockton, Illi- {nois, and would I be so kind as to do !him any service asked. A big con- |tract, but a congressman will under- take anything for a good friend. It soon developed that Mr. Sugh- iroe was or is the parent of Mickie, |the Printer’s Devil, and he wanted me to get Mickie a job as page or office boy or anything a boy of Mick- ie’s age and understanding could hold in Washington, D. C. I have long admired Mickie. He is a wonder, exhibiting wit and wisdom and loyalty to the boss far beyond his years and the common custom of the land. But he makes fun of peo- {ple. What if he got this job and made fun of congress? He would get both himself and me in bad. But Mickie has good sense, and humor combined with ‘good sense is pxhilurntinr and beneficial. Perhaps ‘It would be a good thing for the jcountry to get Mickie's viewpoint, | philosophy and good natured advice. |Pgrh§|;)s it would be a good thing for {Mickie to associate with the leaders lof the 'and and get their viewpoint. |He might go back to the country town, full of wisdom and polish, wits whetted and ambition sprouted. Am- bition and an imagination sometimes |lead the printer’s devil to the chair at the front room desk of the old home | town paper—as an occupant, I mean {in this reference, and everybody {knows that that chair is a stepping |stone to most anything—witness nu- | . | So in a moment of enthusiasm I |promised to undertake the job. Get- town state senator to Washington, D. C. First as a page in the senate and later as cffice boy in the office of a congressman. He has had a won- derful career, has enjoyed some thrilling experiences and has made many friends. He has associated | with congressmen and senators and has made friends of all from the White House dog to the president of the United States. The story of Mickie’s travels to| Washmgton, stopping at Chicago, In- dianapolis and other interesting places and final arrival in Washing- | ton, where the big awe-inspiring stuff |is to be found, is the usual story of | | the country boy’s progress on this en- |chanted trail from Homeville to the | | national capital. But the wide-eyed | | Mickie sees things that the average | man never sees. | His experiences and observations here have been wide and interesting. He has beerr humbled, enlightend and humored. He has shocked and| amused those about him. He has| ‘m_a(le a place for himself in national | }ustox;y. He is loved and admired by all his new-made friends. So popu- | ]ar.ls this little country printer’s devil at the present time that if he \s}}ould happen to get run over by a city taxi or fall with a plane, it would be an easy matter to get a biil | through congress to place his statue, o!.i heroic size, in a capital park or| with pennies raised from the school children of the land to build a monu- ment as high as that raised to George \Yashmgton and Mickie knows how fugh that is, for one day he climbed its tortuous steps to the very top. I started out to write a story of | |my caller, Mr. Charles Sughroe and |got off the track. He is an interest- ing chap like you find around many a country newspaper office. He grew up helping his father run the Herald- News, at Stockton, Illinois, a typi- cal country town weekly newspaper | in a farmer town of about 1,500. Then he discovered the possibilities of portraying the human instincts and wise observations of this preco- ;ious little lad, and he is now spend- |ing most of his time in giving these | to the world. But he still loves and lives in Stockton. His success has ‘becn marvelous, but his old dad has| to run the country paper practically alone now. Soon I expect to be secing in the newspapers all over the country! these popular strips telling of Mick his exciting - tours forth and back| across the land. with America is only rivaled as a popular mewspaper topic by the im- poseisility of war. “Friendly co-operation with the United States is for us,” said Mr. Llcyd George in his opening address to the Dominion Premiers now meet- ing in London, ‘‘a cardinal principle. * * * We are ready to discuss with Amcrican statesmen any proposal for the limitation of armaments which they may wish to set out, and we can undertake that no such overtures will find a lack of willingness on our part td meet them.” That, however, only came as a cli- max to what has gone before, and served as a keynote for what has gone on since. The last few months have seen a sudden growth of Wash- ingtan busts and statues in England. The Sulgrave institution presented three busts, one to Liverpool, one to Sulgrave Manor, the home of Wash- -ington’s ancestors, and the third went to one of the most sacred spots in the British Bmpire, the crypt of St. Paul’s cathedral. The ““Heart of England,” Trafalgar Square, now treasures a replica of the Houdon statute of Washington, presented by the state of Virginia. The Marquess Curzon, receiving the statute on behalf of the govern- ment said: “The two great branches of the Englsh-speakng race are now and henceforth indissolubly one. We can never fight again. We can nev- er even quarrel again.” This unveiling occasioned many expressions in London papers to the effect that England would never be satisfied until of her own initiative she had crected ai statute of Wash- ington in Westminster Abbey. For England there is no more hallowed spot. Statutes .of Lincoln have also be- comoe popular. One was placed in a cemetery on Calton Hill in Edin- burgh shertly after the United States entered the war. About a year ago a statute of him ,was placed just across the street from the Parliament buildings, though it has been tempor- anily remoyed to have a firm base Built. Newspaper photogrinhers took snapshots at that unveiling ol the Prime Minister singing “The Star Spangled Banmer.” All these signs of Anglo-American friendship are being) encouraged by British and American societies. The most remarkable is the English-speak ing union. It was founded by 12 Americans and Englishmen in Lon- don on July 4, 1918. On the third anniversary of its birth, it had over 5,000 members.
