LABORS OF A NATION'S LAWMAKERS SERIOUS AND STRENUOUS BUSINESS Senators and Representatives in Congress vote ‘Themselves to a Tremendous Volume of Work in Committees, Besides the Activity Demanded on the Floor Are Compelled to .Dg- —— Special Dispatch to The Call. W. WALL. * o BY 8. WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.—It is .a mistake to imagine that an election to Congress is all honor. The glamour that hangs over Washington borrows its enchantment from distance. A near view and the most dignified and stately Senator is found to be a pretty hard working man. The Senators have their office hours and their hours for | attendance upon one or the other of a hralf dozen committees; the afternoon is spent in the Senate chamber and the evening—what with its social obli- people who insist upon an audience by right of a residence in the same State —it is by no means the Senator’s own. In fact, a Senator’s life is a life .of labor. The eminent ability that is re- | quired to land a man in the United States Senate must there be employed to the utmost. To the vast amount of work in which the Senate takes the initiative is added the other vast amount that comes to it for review from the larger body. Together they |, entail an immense amount of study- ing and'research. And as for the most part this is conscientiously given, the life of a Senator is considerably | more than one of mere dignity. The work that he is called upon to | % p — perform is of a twofold character. - ° e e e e o pagy, | | SENIOR SENATOR FROM CAL- | the Panama treaties, the canal build- ' TIONAL LEGISLATURE. ’ ing, the army, the navy, the harbors, % the interstate waterways, the recipro- |« - e cal trade relations with foreign coun- B s | are 2s full of care as the members of | tries, the vast system of federal courts | .\ R e A vt rit | J T, member having a | and the still vaster system of the civil bl ‘that 157 dear t5 hia Heart hag be service and the diplomatic and con- |, .

There is something radically wrong with them or their champior: if they do not stack up in the law library." DUTIES TO CONSTITUENTS. Therefore the committee of which the Senator is a member is not only the measure of the quantity but the.| quality of the service he is able to ren- der the country and his constituents from his place in the stately building on Capitol Hill. An important chairmanship speaks for the Senator in two ways. He is recognized by the President of the Senate as a man worthy to be in- trusted with its responsibility. His worthiness to be so intrusted is dem- onstrated in his baving secured the honor, for these are prizes that are contested for by strong men. There is BARD AND IRRIGATION. Senator Thomas R. Bard, junior Sen- ator from California, is chairman of the Irrigation Committee and member of the committees on Indian Affairs, Public Lands. Railrpads, Territories and Woman Suffrage—the latter a so- called select committee. As chairman of the Committee on Trrigation, the big projects of the Government in the West to redeem the desert will come under his especial study. .

Of the delegation in the House, the Hon. Vietor H. Metcalf and the Hon. James C. Needham have served three consecutive terms, and the Hon. James McLachlan three with an interval after the first. Thé others are all first term- | ers. The Hon. V. H. Metcalf of Oak- land, as a member of the Ways and: Means Committee, has a pesition " of great influence on the floor of the House. He has been very active with regard to Californian interests and is the author of the bill providing for an. additional Federal Judge for the North- ern District. Mr. Metcalf is in the con- fidence of the.léadérs of national poli- tics iIn Washington. With his wife and’ son, Howard, he resides at thé Arling-. ton Hotel. .

Lands and Insular Affairs committees. | He is taking.advantage of that fact to secure free roads in Yosemite National Park. He is working to secure the, passage of the 5 per cent bill, and is in- teresting himself in forestry and trriga- tion matters. ' He will oppose in the House the bill introduced by Senator Perkins providing for the building: of reservoirs in the Hetchy-Hetchy to carry water for San Francisco, on the ground that the San Joaquin Valley needs- the” water for irrigation. With this wife and little girf, Mildred, 8 years of age,- and Chauncey, 6 years, Mr. Needham resides at the Cecil, a new apartment-house. The children go to the Force School, on Massachusetts. avenue. - ¥ RIVER AND HARBOR WORK. Mr. McLachlan of Pasadena ison the Rivers and Harbors Commiittee and is | devoting himself to work in that con- | nection. "He has been also miking & strong effort in behalf of the Los An: geles postoffice site, over which there has been so much trouble, and is“the author of the new bill in the House to gécurr the site without increasing the | | geieral appropriation, .Felying upor rext year to get the additiona} amount | necessary to carry out the plans al; ready designed.” With his famil n- sisting of wife and four, childre: McLachlan lives at 1428 Q street.

He has been also active in behalf of the California camp site project. With his wife and daughter and son-in-law he resides in the former home of Senator Vest, in Jowa Circle, at 3204 P street. His son- in-law, Pembers S. Castleman, is act- ing as his private secretary. X This completes the list of the Repub- | lican delegation. Of the three others, the Hon. Theodore A. Bell of Napa was alone elected as a Democrat and nothing more. He is on the Committee on Irrigation and Arid Lands. He is devoting his energies almost exclusive- 1y to agricultural matters and is work- ing with that department. He has a bill for the promotion of the grape and wine industry in California and expects to secure its passage. J. D. Cornell of .Sacramento is his private secretary. ' ‘With his wife and little girl he lives at the Driscoll apartment-house, on B street, near the Capitol. The Hon. E. J.
