SENATE MAY HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT CUMMINS, WHO HAS IMPORTANT COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIP, LIKELY TO STEP DOWN Man Wlio Presides Over the Upper House Has Little To Do, But Plen ty Of Solons Would Di&e the Posi tion. t ( (By Edward B. Clark) Washington.—There is a specula tion in Washington as to the identity Of the next president pro tem of the United States senate. Senator Cum mins of Iowa was the presiding offi cer in the absence of the vice presi dent for some time, but now that the vice president has become President, the president pro tem in effect will be the president permanent of the senate. It is said that Senator Cum mins is not over anxious for a con tinuation of the honor which has been his. The place in a way is a conspicu ous one, and one to which consider able honor attaches, but the Iowa senator is chairman of a powerful Committee, and it is said he does not Care for presiding honors, if they are to interfere with his duties ag Committee chairman. He may not take the high chair in the senate if by the transfer he is to lose the head Chair at the committee table. The presiding officer of the sen ate, whether he is the vice president Or merely a president pro tem, does not have much to do but sit and look faifly wise. Occasionally he gets tired of sitting and wanders out, but for most of the time he is compelled to stick' in his place and listen to dreary debates or to repeat time after time as bills reach a certain stage the word "calendar," or else to confine his vocal' exercises to giving verbal depression to. the fact that the sena tor from New York or some other State has been recognized. Never theless the office of president pro tem of the senate is not to be de spised. It has been held by several ynen who became great in the coun try's history. Frye In Chair Many Years. Senator William P. Frye of Maine was presiding officer of the senate for a great many years. He managed to perform the duties of head officer #nd at the same time carry on the work attached to the office of chair man of the great senate committee on Commerce. Senator Frye was an in defatigable worker, and he was not in his latter years a strong man phys feally. He died at his home in Maine $2 years ago, just after he had closed his work at a senate session of vnusual interest and strenuous ac tivity. There is rather an interesting story connected with the time of Seaator Frye's occupancy oP the office of president pro tem of the senate. He was chosen to the place immediately after the election of McKinley and Hobard in 1896. Mr. Hobart be came vice president and Senator Frye used to take his place in the chair on the occasion of Mr! Hobart's absence. They became strong personal friends. Vice President Hobart died in of fice and then Senator Frye became the actual presiding officer of the senate. His friendship with Vice President Hobart had brought the families of the two men into social relations. A daughter of Senator Frye, president pro tern of the senate, married a son of Garret A. Hobart, vice president of the United States and presiding officer of the senate. There are several Hobart-Frye grandchildren who can claim the honor of being descendants of two men who at the same time were pre siding officers of the United States. Plenty Of Candidates. If Senator Cummins shall decline the honor of preferment for the posi tion of president pro tern of the sen ate, there will be no difficulty in se lecting a man for the place because of lack of candidates. Of course, the next presiding officer will be a Re publican, because the Republicans have control of the senate. * The only senators who will not aspire to the honor are thse whse committees are important enough to lead them to believe that their work as committee chairman is of greater importance than the work of presiding over the senate, which in effect is not much work, but largely a place of honor. Presiding officers of the senate fre quently, to. put it slangily, are bored stiff. They are compelled by sheer sense of duty to listen to all the speeches which senators seem desir MAN LOSES HOPE "For ten years I suffered se verely from stomach trouble.

If you feel weak, run down, depressed or nervous, you should not be without it. How Paw Paw Tonic relieved the suffering of a man in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., is told in a letter from Charles Taylor, of 161 State Street, that city. Read it: "For many years I suffered from what may be described as 'all-gone feeling' in the pit of the stomach. My appetite was very poor; my strength and vitality were leaving me. Nothing teemed to help me, even though I had many prescriptions compounded as given to me by physicians of high medical atanding. "One day, while in the drug store, I talked with the gentleman who is ex hibiting Paw Paw Tonic and giving health talks on diseases common to every one. I became interested and explained my case to him. "He suggested that I purchase a bottle of Paw Paw Tonic and take it according to directions. I gladly bought the Paw Paw because I was willing to try anything for relief. I faithfully took it for a little over a week and now report that my appetite is now first class. "I have no trouble with my stomach or bowels. I feel, in fact, stronger in every way than in years. My vitality and general mental power have greatly increased, and I thank the Paw Paw Man for showing me a way to health." This might just as well be your ex perience as that of Charles Taylor.
