HOUSE, OF TEXA8. '
Austin (Texas) Correspondence New
York Sun.
E. M. House, of Texas, who has sud
denly leaped into national fame as the
"power behind the throne" in the Ad
ministration of President Woodrow
Wilson, has been a close student of
politics, State and national, for more
than 20 years. For nearly that length
of time he has been tire guiding star
of the Democracy of Texas; not that
S.he has ever attempted the role of polit
ical boss in the generally accepted
) BntTao nf that, word but. bv sueeestion
and persuasion he has been able to
accomplish what no other man in this
State ever has done. He Is a puzzle
to the masses of Democrats In Texas.
He has never been in the public eye
so far as placing himself where he
could be seen and heard Is concerned.
It Is said that probably not 100 pro
fessional politicians in Texas know
him even by sight, amkthose who have
a speaking acquaintance with him
number not many more than a score.
: Yet it is. known that Mr. House
brought about the nomination and
' election of three governors of the
State in succession. His rise to poli
tical power was in the second cam
paign of the late James S. Hogg for
governor. Mr. House had a geac aeai
to do in a quiet way with Mr. Hogg's
remarkable .political success. With the
wise discernment and accurate esti
mation of men that has always char
acterized him Mr. House picked
Charles A. Culberson for Hogg's suc
cessor as governor. He is credited
with placing Mr. "Culberson In the
chief executive's chair and of later
accomplishing his elevation to the
United States. "
Following the administration of Gov
ernor Culberson, Mr. House managed
the campaign of Joseph D. Sayers for
the governship and again he succeed
ed against big odds. He next select
ed S. W. T. Lanham as the man who
should be honored with the office of
chief executive of the State. He won
this light easily in the fact of the pow
erful opposition that confronted him
in the beginning of -the campaign.
While Mr. House was recognized by
the inner circle of Democratic leaders
as the one man who was directing
these three campaigns he did not have
the title of manager and seldom if
ever did he visit the headquarters
where the men of his own selection
were conducting the details of the
plans. 1
With Mr. House pdlicics is a game
that affords him delightful recreation
and at the same time he is able to per
form a great service to the people ac
cording to his conception or tne ae
sires and needs of the masses.
It is a remarkable fact that so far
as the recollection of any Democrat in
Texas goes Mr. House never attended
a Dolitical convention In tuts state
He was never fh-esent at a political
Catherine f any kind. He was never
seen about the capitol when the Legis
lature was in session, although he has
had a great deal to do with the sharp
ing of tfie laws during the last 20
years. About the orly time he was
ever seen in the big granite building
where the seat of government is lo
cated was when Mr. Culberson was
elected United States Senator. Even
on that momentous occasion he oc
cupied an inconspicuous seat in the
gallery and hurried away from the
throng as soon as the formalities of
the election was over. jNotwitnsiano
ing his power in State politics and the
fant. that he was resDonsible . more
than any other one man or set of men
for the election of three governors,
he never visited them in their office
more than once or twice.
It has long been Mr. House's custom
to spend the winters at his home In
Austin. He has a beautiful residence
here, another in New York and a
summer home at Magnolia, Mass. He
usually returns from the East at the
beginning of cold weather and re
mains here until early spring. This
Beason his duties connected with na
tional political affairs delayed his
homecoming. He leads a quiet life in
Austin. To him -there Is no greater
comfort and pleasure than his own
fireside. He takes delight in gather
ing about him In his home a few con
genial friends, men of business, of
politics and those who are identified
with different professions. Whether
in Austin, New York or Magnolia,
these little social gatherings are made
regular and frequent events. As a
host on such occasions he has no su
perior. He is an entertaining conver
sationalist and. his vast fund of in
formation, covering many subjects, al
ways makes the evening pleasant for
all who may be present.
Beyond giving them a general superb
vision Mr. House has not devoted him
self actively to his business affairs for
many years. His wealth is conserva
tively etimated at $1,500,000. He has
no ambition for greater riches In the
matter of worldly goods. His proper
ty consists chiefly of plantations and
lands In Texas. His business office
here is as unpretentious as he is him
self. On the door is tacked the only
sign. It Is a pateboard visiting card,
"Mr. Edward M. House."
If Mr. House should give any public
expression on the subject of his un
official connection with the Wilson Ad
ministration he would doubtless dis
claim influence in the appointments to
public office that have already been
made or those that may be made. His
close political friends here, however,
give him credit for the naming of Al
bert Sidney Burleson as Postmaster
General, and of David F. Houston as
Secretary of Agriculture. It is also
asserted that Mr. House acted as In
termediary between Col. .William J.
Bryan and President Wilson, and It
was through his efforts-largely that
Colonel Bryan was Induced to accept
the State portfolio. According to. a
well authenticated story, Colonel Bry
an at 'first positively declined to ac
cept any office under the Wilson Ad
ministration, and he bold firmly to
this resolve until the persuasive pow
er of Mr, House overcame his origin
al decision.. Colonel Bryan and Mr.
House have been warm personal and
political friends for 15 years. The
former has been a frequent guest at
Mr. House's home here.
Another appointment which Mr.
House is said to have urged is that
of Charles P. Nelll for Commissioner
of Labor. ' Mr. Nelll grew to manhood
in Austin and is numbered among Mr.
House friends.
Mr. House is fixed in his steadfast
ness and loyalty to his frlendB. He
knows how to read human nature, and
when he once decides a man is worthy
of the kind consideration and good
fellowship that should mark true
friendship he does not hesitate to go
his full length for him, whether It be
in politics or business, should the oc--CTBiOTr-arlse-or-snitable-opportunlty
come to him for doing bo. Another
notable characteristic is that he Is al
ways Interested in the welfare of de
serving young men. He has time after
time been the means of "placing on
their feet" In a business way young
men who have attracted bis favorable
attention.
Colonel House has never sought
public office. Not long ago, when one
of his Texas friends wrote him that
the Democrats and people generally
of this State would be glad to Bee
'him appointed to a Cabinet position,
he replied that he had resolved to
adhere to his , lifelong determination
not to accept . any government posi
tion. It is well understood that a
Cabinet position was tendered him by
Mr Wilson and that he declined the
honor. Almost any time during the
last 20 years he could have been nom
inated and elected governor of Tex
as had he but said the word. He
could have gone to the United States
Senate years ago had bis ambition
been in that direction.
Some time .before Woodrow Wilson
was recognized by the public as a
Presidential possibility Mr. House
made the prediction in his quiet way
that the New Jersey Governor would
be the Democratic nominee for that
high office. If Mr. House is really an
ex-offlcia member of President Wil
son's Cabinet, and if he has the weigh
ty influence with the new Administra
tion that circumstances would indi
cate, the country is fortunate. There
will be no overturning of existing bus
iness conditions by the men at the
head of the government if Mr. House'e
advice is heeded. That much is prac
tically assured. While he is a pro
gressive, he does not believe in rad
ical action of any kind.
PRECEDENTS SMASHED.
Charlotte News.
President Wilson has been in
the
but
White House but a short time,
much has transpired in the meantime.
Precedents have been smashed right
and left. Time-honored customs have
been ignored. Red tape has depre
ciated in value and is less prominent.
Foolish formalities are not gone
through with.
There is an air of business hustle
about the capitol, and the onlooker
Is impressed with the President's de
termination to serve the country rath
er than cater to the decree of fashion
and custom.
The Houston Post, quite a close ob
server of things great and small, en
umerates a few of the changes that
have taken place under the Wilson
reeime :
"First came the downfall of the in
augural ball.
"Second, the favorite barber. Pres
ident Wilson shaves himself.
"Third, parading office seekers at
tne wmte House, wo pie numers
are admitted until sent for.
"Fourth, the President is going to
run the government. Politicians may
only make suggestions.
"Fifth, the President goes to church
to worship, not to be seen. ,
"Sixth, the gold braid and lace busi
ness has been eliminated. Major
Rhoads dresses like an everyday citi
zen when he goes out with the Presi
dent.
"Seventh, the khaki-clother motor
cycle policemen, who used to follow
the White House automobile, have
been given other employment. The
President rides without bicycle es
corts.
"Eighth, the ancient custom of drap-
ping the President's box at the, theatre
and playing the national anthem when
the President arrives has been put in
tli disc&rd
"Ninth, the old 'it is said' has dis
appeared from the White House, and
instead it appears the President said
"Tenth, 'that was said in a Cabinet
meeting, and can not be made public,'
is of the past. What transpires at
a Cabinet meeting is made public
property.
"Eleventh, the bi-weekly Cabinet
meetings are under the ban. The Cab
Inet will meet when there Is some
thing to be done.
"Twelfth, the promiscuous use of
the 'executive order' has been stop
ped.
"Thirteenth, President Wilson rests
the seventh day. He puts the bars of
the White House up Saturday night
at 12 o'clock and lets them stay until
Monday morning.
"Fourteenth, cold suppers are to be
the rule at the White House Sunday
evenings; the old Presbyterian rule
will prevail.
"Fifteenth, the President declined
an invitation to Chevy Chase Club.
"Sixteenth, all sorts of intoxicating
drinks have been tabooed at the
White House.
THE CITY SCHOOLS.
Fayetteville, April 2,
Editor Observer: Having been in
vited by Prof. Snipes to visit th Cen
tral school 'recently, I wish to express
through your paper, the real gratifi
cation it gave me to see what a
splendid school equipment our city has
now. Instead of the unsafe building
our children were forced to occupy
for so many years, we have a modern,
well heated, commodious one, with
every convenience. It was a real
pleasure to visit the different grades,
from kindergarten to high school, and
to see what fine work is being done
by the corps of efficient teachers,
The fine auditorium supplies a long-
felt want in Fayetteville, and Prof.
Snipes is delighted to have it used
for outside entertainment. With such
a wide-awake superintendent, Fayette
ville has a right to be proud of her
schools now, for money spent in the
cause of education is certainly well
woth while.

DEAFNE83 . CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
nesB, and that ts byf constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this' tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam
ed condition, of the mucous surfaces.
