His mirth was loud and ex- j panaive. It included several nearby, j who laughed just because he did. Then ; he leaned forward. “Fire away,” he said. “I'm with j you. You ask. and I'll answer.” “Well, xvhat I’d like to know,” continued the reporter, “is your opin- ! ion of Roosevelt and his proclaimed I leadership of the insurgents. What do you think of the final outcome of his . protestations of national honesty and his demand that men who hinder na • tional progress be swept aside to make room for progressives?” Before the last word had been ut tered Mr. Murdock was giving a verv creditable imitation of a man trying to swim out. His arms waved frantic ally, very similar to railroad sema phores; his head reared back, and his pedal extremities, apparently of their < wn volition, began to back pedal. Then he exploded: “What? Me.’ Roosexelt? Insur gents’ Not on your life! No, sir. Not a word do you get from me on that. Ask me something else. You can’t get me to talk on any such subject.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE averse to discussing the probable out come of the insurgent movement. His views in the matter are so 'veil knoxvn that they hardly need elaboration. He believes that in the end the fight against obsoletism must prevail and men and measures reach up to the standard of the twentieth century. “Say this, and you won’t be far out of line,” said he. “The time is at hand when the people will have their sayso. Bossism is dying, and the moribund condition daily takes fur ther toll. Americans are Americans and though the conditions are not ex actly similar to the days of ’76, yet the spirit of independence is enshrined in every American’s bosom. There is trouble for the man or the clique who or which believes that by political bossism he can further keep the Amer ican in a state little better than serf dom.” Victor Murdock aligned the insur gents in the house when the fight for bossism, as typified in Speaker Joseph Cannon, was raging. He was in the vanguard, daily forging more to the front, daily enlisting more insurgents, daily lessening the power of the one man. Now it is practically accomplish ed and the next session of the national congress is expected to show results of a nature anticipated by Murdock and his adherents when the struggle began. The man. except for his small sta ture, is a giant. Not ox-er five feet si.» inches, he is massive. Smooth shaven, elear-visaged, his laugh is loud and in fectious. He has the “gift of meet ability,” his handshake is vise-like, an<l his voice is rich and sonorous. His appearance is more like the successful Wall street man than the free lance of congress. He is glad to meet people, keenly appreciative of praise, and his past, actions show that he knows how to lead in a fight. He was born in Burlingame, Kan., March 18, 1871. At 15 years he was a newspaper reporter, ami at 20 he was managing editor of the Wichita Eagle. He was elected to congress from the Seventh district in 1905 and from the Seventh district tho following term. The fight against Can non was partly begun by him and has since been carried forward with the help of other insurgents and men who believe as Murdock believes. PUZZLED ABOUT TAMALE BUT HE LIKED IT “What do you call this?” asked J. I’. Dwyer of the Philadelphia Record. Mr. Dwyer was gingerly holding up a tamale by a fringe of shuck and re garding it with questioning glance. “Oh, yes, a lamale ” he said, xvhen informed, ‘And :s it really good to eat ?' ’ Again reas aired, he unwrapped it, ex posed the -nrumca! aud bit into it. Then he bit again ami again. In half a min ute the shuck only remained. “Well, if that don't beat me.” he said. Then he ate tlWee more. “I nev.-t saw anything like it in my life,” ho said. ROSEWATER ATE CHILI: “HOLY SMOKE!” HE SAID Vidor Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, a young man, not more than 35 is nevertheless a writer of note. Small in stu’itire, with a laugh and :i gay remark, his enjoyment during the auto trip and the luncheon at the In ternational cafe was marked. “This is the jolllcst lark I’ve ever had,” he said. “You fellows in San Antonio ought to have a medal.” Just about that time Mr. Rosewater lifted a huge spoonful of chili con ■ came to his lips. Instantly his counte- Inance changed. He reached hastily for a bottle of something cooling. I “Holy smoke!” he ejaculated. “Do they eat this hot stuff doxvn here?" “Why, that isn’t hot,” said a local inewspaperman. “That's mild." ; Mr. Rosewater had too much regard (for the position of guest to dispute a host’s word. However, he looked as if Ihis host was qualified for immediate 1 membership in the “shorter ami uglier word” club.

Bowles Says North Believes In Teddy Veteran Publisher of Spring field, Mass., Republican Bares Head in Alamo. Samuel Bowles, veteran publisher of the Springfield, (Mass.) Republican, was more content to listen than to talk. “It is a trip of information with me,” he said. “Nex’er before have I been so far south. In 1873. when the M. K. & T. railroad built, into Dallas I came on a trip to Texas, but nex-er got to San Antonio. I am candid in say ing that I have not seen anything in the south that compares to San An tonio.” Major Bowles was taken in charge by J. 11.

Commerce city and its attractive features. In the same car was Paul Hudson, owner of the Mexican Herald, Mexico City. On the way to the missions a stop was made at the United States arsenal on South Flores street, where Major Bowles met and greeted a boyhood aud school day companion—Colonel Clarke, who has charge of Uncle Sam’s prop erty. The meeting was particularly fe licitous and half an hour was spent in conversation. At the Alamo Major Bow-les was in terested in the story of the intrepid Texans who sacrificed their lives but not their honor. He bared his head in the room in which Bowie died and pon dered on the courage that prompted the handful to stand against overwhelming force. Then, spinning along toward Brack enridge park Major Bowles put a ques tion: “What do you people in the south think of Roosevelt?” “Southerners.” replied Mr. Kirk patrick, “admire the man and his ap parent sterling qualities. They believe in him and believe that lie stands for the right thing.” “Yes, that’s the way to look at it,” said Major Bowles. Especially was the northern editor's attention taken by the tropical foliage that grows profusely along the river banks. “I’ve never seen anything like it ex cept in Italy,” he said. Then he asked of rainfall, irrigation, farms, crops, cot ton, cottonseed, manufactroies and half a score of other things. His desire for knowledge was insatiable. He was in ' the right place to get it. J. H. Kirk : Patrick, possibly more than any other , man in Antonio, can furnish sta tistical dati and correct information. Major Bowles is 59 years old. He was born in Springfield and there studied , and later went to Europe to study. He I went into the editorial offices of the ; Springfield Republican in 1873 and has been with it since in various capacities, now- editor and publisher. Going to Mexico to Write Intelligently Paul Hudson Says an Interview Will Be Arranged for Writ ers With Diaz. Paul Hudson, owner of the Mexican Herald, having charge of the party of writers and editors, has been in San Antonio many times. The sights of the city arc not new to him as they were to his fellow-crafters. “There is this much,” said Mr. Hu-I son. “We have to return thanks unre servedly to the San Antonio Press etub for the magnificent entertainment which they have provided. The break in our journey was just what was need ed to relieve the tedium.” “Tlie men aboard the special," con tinued Mr. Hudson, “are going to see Mexico in order that they may write intelligently of that republic. Many times misinformation is given out be cause the writers are honestly misin formed. There xvill be nothing conceal ed from them on this trip. The republic will be open to them. I am sanguine that an interview will be arranged with President Diaz and some of his minis ters. as I know the sturdy head of the neighboring republic is only too ready to welcome newspaper men who come with honest inquiry.” During the short stop here Mr. Hud son attended to sexeral business mat ters and arranged to take on several newspapermen who had come here to join the special train. Paul Hudson was originally from To peka, Kansas. As long as fifteen years ago he went to Mexico and rehabilitat ed “The Two Republics,” renaming rt The Mexican Herald. He now possesses the most costly newspaper plant in the entire republic of Mexico. Personally acquainted xvith President. Diaz, the latter has aided the English newspaper to become big and powerful. “Say," said the friend. “1 'in in need of a'little money.” “Bully for you, old man. I con- I gratulate you,” replied tho other. । “ You 're ten times better off than 1 am. 11 need a whole lot of it ’’ SEPTEMBER 11, 1910. ’ Took His Instead of Missions Mr. Fife Is An Englishman But the Story of the Alamo Touched Him. “Really, now, ye know I’d like to go, but I’in going to take a bawth.” In these words did George Buchanan Fife, of Harper’s Weekly, decline a trip to the missions. He was prevailed on* however, to visit the Alamo, being told that there would be ample time to see it and then take his bath. Mr. Fife is an Englishman. As he stood in the Texas shrine Mr. Fife's enthusiasm was aroused. “I say,” he said, “did those chaps really all stay here and be butchered?” When assured that he could rely on history and the word of every San Antonian he ejaculated, “Marvelous! Wonderful! Startling! ” in such rapid succession that it sounded like a mili tary salute of small arms. When the Alamo was left Mr. Fif( went back to the Sunset depot. “You know,” he explained Yd liif companions, “I’m accustomed to taking me bawth every morning, and now tlm train is standing still. I believe’l'd much rather do that than go out with you. ’ ’ Mr. Fife's companions and friends joked him considerably over his prei* erence, but he smiled, shook hands with new-made friends and returned to ‘ ‘ take me bawth. ” “What kind of a man would you like for a husband?” “Oh, either a bachelor or a widow er.
