HANDS OUT FOR NEW MEMBER-r.rx.
Cordial Welcome in Washington for
Amateur Congressmen.
THEY KNOW NOT THE WAYS
They Par the Price More Headllr
Than Tboir Familiar mlth h
Toarh of Landlord and
Krrdrrlrs.
"Going to congres" sounds awfully blif
tn Die provinces, and the salary Is stilt
tailed princely there, without any rising
Inflection of mirth. Country politicians.
who have lived with ea.no on less than
half the amount given them by a fond
government to sign M. (. after their names
and attend to a whole lot of other Im
portant legislative matetrs, think they can
"put up at the best hotels and take life
easy" when they get to Washington. But
this same town with the open-faced ave
nues and pplttmlld public buildings, which
seem to extend so gracious a welcome to
the man who has won, Is popularly ad
mitted to ! the most expensive for its
alxe within these I'nlted States. Unless the
raw recruits, whu will next March, In
larger numbers than for many sessions,
usurp the desks and committees of experi
enced veterans In the art of running the
nation, are provided with surplus funds
they will discover that they can get what
ever they deulrc If they pay for It.
Included In the price Is the most abject 1
servility and repetition of a congressman's
tit Is. He has hotels recommended as the
best until he nearly has a brainstorm try
ing to reason out which really Is the best;
he tries a different restaurant every day
on the strength of advertisements offered
In person, and every haberdasher and shoe
makrr and cab driver In town who hears
of his arrival sends htm a reminder lest
ha forget And the representative who is
still so new that he can't help being eon
' scions of the galleries and has to tell his
name to the doorkeepers likes It,
He has ways all his own, this new mem
ber, very tolerantly amusing to the old
Inhabitant who has stayed right here and
seen so many "take the course," as witty
Senator Hayner once described it. Im
pressed by the magnificent distances of
Washington, the new member Invariably
seeks quarters as near the capltol aa pos
sible. He wants to be on the Job early and
laie. After breakfast the mera time for
which would determine for the close ob
server how long the partaker had bn In
congress ha often strolls over ths house
for a look around.
Expansion of (he Cheat.
There Is a certain pompous strut and
proprietary air that none but men who
have served In other conspicuous public
piVltlons previously aver aaein able to
doilg. He has won and ha la glad, and
he feels that everybody here Is his friend.
In his native ton he goes with everybody
worth while, so why nut here tn Washing
ton'.' ' This for the country member, no
matter from which point he started. That
lady promises him every home 'corrifort.
and he sends his address to. the house; and
there he Is.
But gradually ha finds time dragging
even In v'anhlngton. Somehow the various
committees have not signified that al
acrity In asking him to join,, that Is his
perogatlve, consljerlng how he always stood
with the town council of his stata. He
can't be forever revising the speech he Is
going to make some day. Having no friends,
at least, he can have the company of other
new possessors of desks, so long under one
ownership that the owner's themselves
had begun to think the country couldn't
run unless they ran Itor remains at his
boarding house and grows cynical over the
fickleness of Columbia. Gradually ho be
gins to learn of "days at home" for the
wives of members. He thinks it might ba
Improper for him to go when his wife
Is not there, but loneliness overcomes con
servatism and ha goes, has a fairly en
joyable afternoon, goes again and gets Into
the habit.
. Npraelna; Tp.
His clothes are not Just what the other
men. seem to be wearing. A frock coat and
a silk hat appear Indispensable. He writes
to mother that h had thought his ward
rob complete, but these accessories are
a necessary part of his congressional dig
nity. Somehow the money doen not save
Itself here aa It does on the farm. He al
most wishes his wife . had come along.
Very many of him, on going home for
Christmas, return with the family. They
do not like the cramped rooms ha has been
occupying. Maybe there Is a young daugh
ter and she haa higher Ideals. Everything
deslrabla Is taken by this time, and the
only expedient la to rent a furnlrhed flat
or house at whatever the aent thlnka he
can get. Then the "season" la off with a
bang.
There Is a country member In class two
who comes surrounded by all his Urea
and penates. He haa never bean prominent
In pink tea circles, but he knows hla duty
and he is going to' do it. Often he haa
never been in Washington. This coming
season will tee many of him In town. Al
ready some have arrived, and to them,
coming to congress Is a picnic. Of course,
they are going to save money. It will be
useful later on. even If campaign funds
ars g,(rig out of style. Tbey go to a good
hotel for the first week and everything is
roseate. They ride on what a wit has been
unkind enough to term "the sight-seeing
Washington wagon." They travel labori
ously through all the muamims and libra
ries and office buildings. They go to Mt.
Vernon. They get the custodian of the
Kouae to permit members of the famliy
to go on the floor before the session starts
and sit in the chair father Is going to
adorn.
After that first week they find a board
ing hotel, a rooming house and "eat out,"
or an apartment always aa near to the
capltol aa the law allows. Even men
whose business la mllea away from their
place of residence will, at the start of
thalr first congressional term, evince this
rabid dealra to be undsr shadow of the
wiuaa. laiaing mings over with more
anybody should look down on an occupant
uf a seat In the house of representative seasoned legislators brings the knowledge
that they should have gone further out
is beyond comprehension. So he does not
bother to ascertain whether or not the lo
cality he Is settling In Is fashionable. That
ll Uar the ratent of respectability Is all
that bothers him.
And this rural M. C. Is divided Into two
ctdssea-the one who brings his wife with
him and the oiie who dowm't. Usually the
latter has come as a temporary bachelor,
because It will be more economical to aava
money that nay. He isn't going to throw
his salary aaay Ilka soma foolish men who
uent to the legislature and came home
b:bkn. No. slrree! Bo wife stays at home
a"d look after the larm or whatever It

boarding house aa being more fashionable,
every member having bis own preference
and seldom living In It
Not go l.oneaonae.
The new member will not feel so lonely
this session, for there will be such a re
markable number of hla sort, but they
won't necessarily affiliate. Nothing could
possibly be more different than the suave,
polished, cosmopolitan sort of Just-elected
representative who haa maybe been a gov
ernor and herpes to be a senator some day
and Is almost ashamed of not being al
ready in "the upper house" and ' the
sturdy, purposeful, unpolished man whom
the office has sought, who believes Im
plicitly that he has been "called" and will
reduce the tariff, put down the trusts and
often assist the speaker on fine points of
law before his term ends.
The former takes , his place without un
due noise among the residential elect and
proceeds to live jus' r.J he always has,
whether In New York or Tlmbuctoo. And
he departs, If his voters happen to prove
undependable, still suave, polished and
cosmopolitan. But the more pleblan mem
ber Is sadly often marred In the making.
He and his family acquire a love for lux
ury and the society of folk who receive
them because they are In the congressional
circles, for which there is no sustenance
when they get back home to the lesser
salary and villagers that Is, sometimes.
Stories are told of representatives who
black their own boots and save half their
salaries, and even of a case where the
wife took other members to board and
laid by a nice, tidy sum. But the average
newcomer to the capltol doea none of these
things. He tries at first to economise; he
often ends by spending more than the ele
ment which haa merely tried to live well.
Lining 1 p at White Hoase.
On the day of the first public reception
at the White House he -and his ilk are
early in line. To see the president Is an
honor. But it Is doubtful If anybody can
find a second-term representative among
this motley array. The recently elected
thinks It a religious duty to come out
every time a card Is brought to him by
a pert-fared page. And maybe grafters
and would-be lobbyists don't know this!
The next congress, which uproots tradi
tions and put in a democratic majority.
Is going to bring them flocking, and the
new member will see them all until his
head busses and bis desk looks like a
snowstorm with reminders and requests and
promises. He can't find time to do his
regular work because of this Incessant de
mand on his time. Besides, there is a
certain pride in realizing that even men
way up In public affairs of his state have
to wait humbly until he elects to come to
them, card In hand.
It Is a boyish sort of pride and amuses
everybody, but Is sneered at by nobody,
tor the member Is blandly unconscious of
his rawness.
Ha likes to take friends to dins In the
senate restaurant and to frank letters at
the postofflce, while people look on, and to
be alluded to In tones audible all over
the chamber and galleries as "the gentle
man from So and So." He haa maybe had
a hard fight and he haa won and he is
glad. And some of the foundations for
the beet and wisest measures emanate from
lila sort It is only that he acts so dif
ferently later on.
Take a representative to whom the win
ter In Washington has become a profes
sional habit, and the only Inducement that
would make him try a tour on the monster
automobile would be a delegation from
home. HI wife haa learned to select a
day that doea not conflict with th judiciary
or the cabinet,' and he can say "there's
the great What-Do-Tou-Call-Htm" without
letting a trace of earlier awe creep Into
his voice. And. In passing, the longer the
M. C. stays In office the farther he lives
from th capltol. Without exception the
newcomers who have not been of the old
regime at home start on Capltol Hill a:id
end at Chevy Chase. Nor does this apply
ner!y to pleblan aons of the soil.
Veiy many women looked upon as it
in their native towns or villages or cities
come to Washington and learn that they
can trail their handsome gowns over ho
tel carpets until they the gowns become
threadbare and not attract any s.tteu
Uoo from women who are In the stratum
they were back yonder, i All fcmal rela
tives of new members love to sit In the
private galleries and look across at the
goats in the public seats. Not that fem-
inlnes In the households of some of the
old members don't do this also, but the
ones to whom the privilege Is new do it
oftenest.
Graclaii Greeting; to All.
Yet Washington offers a very gracious
greeting to them all. A congressional
rating means charge accounts at any of
the stores. Cooks Just love to work for
congressmen, and while other people have
pitched battiea with arrogant janitors In
an effort to overcome the juvenile ob
jection, the children of congressmen are
always assured of a home In Washington
flats.
The man from home who ha yet to
make his maiden speech and doesn't
realize how much he can save on Christ
mas presents by taking them out of his
"perquisite" allowance in the stationary
room becomes almost humpbacked during
these early winter days from responsi
bility., He wants to get the name of sev
eral hundred constituents into the seed
division of the Department of Agriculture
before others gobble up the free supply.
He has to send back pamphlets on every
conceivable subject and write that he
has met the president. 8o much for the
greener man.
Even the seasoned politician who haa
swayed secret sessions of his legislature
and knows politic like a game of bridge
feels outre and as conscious as a woman
In a hobble skirt the first time he comes
here a a full-fledged member. It is the
awful blankness of walking miles - of
streets and not seeing a familiar face; of
sitting n the council chamber ignored
and apparently unthought of. But it is
great to have hallboys and elevator men
and theater managers and guards at the
White House order everybody els to
stand aside for the man whom a neces
sary number of voters have decided "hon
orable."
And it is also good to most of them
to get that little 17.500 twice during the
term, although Its purchasing power Is
dwindling so here In the c'strlct thst a
woeful quota of members have found It
necessary to attend solely to the business
end of their engagement with I ncle Ram
and go very slow on the gala features.
