Everett Sanders Sold Himself to

Washington, Feb. 27.—Rumor has
It that the wedding bells played
“School Days" as Everett Sanders,
recently appointed secretary to
President Coolldge, and his bride
marched up the old church aisle.
If by chance this wasn’t the tune
they played, It was the bells’ error
•—for the wedding took place when
both bride and groom were students.
Just turning the half-way mark In
their schooling.
Sanders was the son of a country
preacher, who augmented his mea
ger salary as minister of a Baptist
Mission church In the Indiana coal
fields by working a small farm near
the town of Coalmont.
The Rev. James Sanders and his
wife were desperately poor—yet
when Everett was born, in 1882,
they determined that despite their
poverty he should have at least the
\dvantage of an education.
His path at school was not strewn
With roses. When not attending
classes' he was forced by lack of
funds to work In a local shoe store.
But every existence has Its compen
sations—and there Everett met Miss
Ella Neal.
Miss Neal was a normal school
student from Jasonville—and In Al
most as short a time as It takes to
tell It she was Sanders’ fiancee. The
courtship was a whirlwind affair,
and they were married In 1908, the
year after Sanders' graduation.
At this point It would ««em fitting
to add "and lived happily ever
after.”
But such was not the case, l’hey
were undoubtedly happy—but they
had almost more than their full
share of troubles. They had been
married but a few months when to
gether they entered the University
of Indiana, at Bloomington.
At the university, Sanders was a
"big man.” He was president of his
law class and captain of the college
basketball team. But all that didn't
get him the wherewithal to pay the
butcher and grocer. For the student
newlyweds It was "mighty slim
plckln’s.”
Another part time Job In a shoe
store pulled them through, however,
and In 1907 Sanders was graduated
from the university with a law dev
gree. Tt-*t same year he was ad*
mltted to the Indiana state bar and
entered the Terre Haute law fl*m at
McNutt, Wallace, Sanders and Ran
del. After that It was smoother
sailing. Sanders, a republican, was
elected to the 65th, 68th. 67th and
68th congresses.
At the end of the present congress
—the 68th—Sanders Intended to quit
politics and return to his law prac
tice. Then all of a sudden he wal
