'TUg'ftfiJKMCT JOOftKAL-STANDARD Kikros, FIRST WOMAN BRINGS SOCIOLOGIST'S ZEAL 0 LABOR POST HIS ftttRfY YEARS IN 8. SENATE A LONG PIOMT ON "EVIL" ALWAYS ADVOCATE OF" PIETY AND PROTECTION Reputed To Have Found More 'Jobs For Constituents Than Any Other Legislator BY RODNEY DUTCHES NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, bless and approve the action to be taken by the senate this day. Father, preserve our government fend hasten the day when liberty will be enjoyed by the peopled of the earth." That was the only prayer ever up from the senate floor. It was made by the Hon. Reed Smoot of Utah, dean of the-'senate, high priest of-the protective tariff and third ranking official of church.

Smoot then.sat down and voted for war with Germany. Some who were there say it was as impressive a moment as ever they saw. For 30 years in the senate, Reed Smoot has looked above for guidance in his political and private life. They have been 30 years of increas- ing power, of association with political idealists and political crooks, majestic events "and surreptitious deals. Oldest of the living old guard, he haa been a maker, an adviser and a spokesman of presidents.

In'all his career there has been a pious sense of righteousness, a religious zealotry and Indus, trious determination to defeat forces of evil. The forces of evil at odd times included Democrats, exponents of liberal political thought, authors who wrote about sex, diggers into the Teapot Dome scandal, foes of sky-high tariffs and advertisers who portrayed women smoking clg- Always he was a fanatic for Republicanism and high protection. Church Duties Call From Utah comes a story that the voters made Smoot a lame duck and elected a Democratic because the Church of the Latter Day Saints wanted him back. Mormons felt he had been here long enough, that he should tend to his duties as an apostle. He is a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and if his health holds out he will be head the church, successor to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

Religion and Smoot are inseparable. His election to the senate in 1903 set off an outburst Of religious bigotry. Anti-Mormons, exhuming old tales of polygamy, sought to bar him and failed. There are many Mormons in Washington today and they are building a church here. The most prominent among them are officials whom Smoot has put in government offices.

The senator is reputed to have found more jobs for his constituents than any othqr legislator in Washington. Through them he has been able to keep his fingers on obscure details. "He knows more of the workings of our government than any other living American," said President Hoover last fall. Smoot was meek and humble in those days. He sat at the feet of the Republican Old Guard, of Aldrich, Penrose and Lodge.

They found him "a lyon for efficiency, a tiger for economy, and a wolf for detail." And he became more than any of them subservient to the Ideal of party regularity, to the cause of the corporations and to the theory that prosperity increases as the protective tariff increases. His Record Filibuster You hear that this grave, unsmiling, lean, gray old man of 71 is colorless, but senate attaches still recall the day and night when he filibustered for hours and 35 minutes. It wasn't the longest one- man filibuster, but it was unique in that Smoot scorned all the artificial aids of the filibusterer and did not once leave the senate chamber. Senators and the old employes still wonder how he ever did it. It was in January, 1915, and the senate, debating the ship purchase interned German in session 37 hours, Smoot says those ships were to be sold "to certain parties close to the administration." He began his protest at 10 o'clock in the evening and finished at 9:35 in the morning.

Smoot, who is.a poor orator, spoke slowly, in a quiet, modulated voice. Not once did he call for a quorum. He stuck to his subject, on and about the lobbyists who had been urging the bill, about the inefficiency of government and business, but always close to the bill. In the evening he was leaning back against his seat, and Senator stone insisted that no senator was permitted to speak while "sitting down," so the Democrats forced Smoot to stand on his feet the rest of the night. When Smoot put statistics in the record that night he quoted and listed them offhand, without reading them himself filibusters ally thenvread by the clerk.

He knew columns of them by heart. Party and Protection Smoot made special darlings of beet sugar and wool. Beet sugar stocks had saved the finances the Mormon church, and wool was also dear to Utah. Since 1922 he has been chairman of the finance mittee and his influence has been enormous. He had time to serve on the War Debt Funding commission and is especially proud of his work on the Public Buildings commission, whose program, he says, Is making Washington the "mps(; beautiful city in the world," Silently, but effectively, he has helped guide Republican national conventions.

After contributing to the Payne-Aldrich tariff which helped ruin Taft, he was ojw of the old guard which into the nomination at Chicago in 1912. He was one of the who operated the 1916 eonven- 6f Frances 'secretary of labor in the Roosevelt cabinet, used' to desks loaded with many problems. Long experience In dealing 1 with industrial relations and problems in New York state is expected to aid her in the new post. New York, Mar. first woman cabinet member has an eager eye' for such, things as shopi windows filled with bargain price frocks.

To Frances Perkins, new secretary of labor, price tags unreasonably low suggest the possibility of sweat conditions for the girls who make the dresses. New York, 'Under her direction as state industrial commission, has been active in attempting to eradicate the sweat shop, Hers Is Many-Sided Attack Not only sweat, shops, but old age pensions, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, labor exchanges, fuller statistics on of these items which have engaged her attention on a state-wide scale now become points of attack on a national basis. Miss Perkins speaks her opinions in an even; calm- voice, -but her sparkling brown eyes belie any lack of interest. She is of medium height and medium stature. Her black wavy hair surmounts a.high wide brow.

She smiles easily, gestures little. With a master's degree in sociology from Columbia and with many years of practical work as a social welfare worker she has spent much time since she left Boston, her birthplace, studying labor's problems, and seeking to solve them. Urges High Wages She urges high 'wages, believes most employers agree that they are necessary for sustained purchasing power. She has studied England's "dole," and is convinced some form of unemployment insurance will come to the United States. As New York's industrial commissioner she has argued with the federal government as to the accuracy of the tetter's figures on unemployment, quoting New York's figures to support her contention that the government's estimates were too low.

And he was the grim chairman of the resolutions mittee for the convention com- which nominated Hoover In 1928i These two men planned the special session of congress which produced the Hawley-Smoot tariff act. Now the worst thing that could have happened in this to the mind of Reed Smoot has happened. The Democrats power and they are are coming into likely to end the old policy of tariff Isolation. What does Smoot think of the future? Nobody kno'ws. No one has been able to interview him since last November.

SURGEON GENERAL GUMMING SAYS SLUMP AIDS HEALTH He Explains It by Tendency to Return to Simple Life Washington General Hugh Gumming, chief of the U. S. public health service, himself a disciple of the "simple life," believes that the present high standard of health in the United States is in some degree a reflection of the simpler living that has followed the "depression." "The heyday of prosperity," Surgeon General Gumming -said, "was an era of fads and foibles In eating as well as in spending. While many were indulging in rich and unaccustomed following various diet cults designed to produce slender, curveless bodies in keeping perhaps with fashion, but not with actual good form. "Today there undoubtedly is a swing back toward the simple diet on the part of the former and a lessened following of food faddism by the latter.

Perhaps a bit more exercise In the home has eliminated the need for so much dieting by women. "The result is a greater dependence for food on the plain, whole- some staples that provide the best foundation for the all-around diet milk, potatoes, vegetables. On these as a base an economical yet wholesome and nourishing dietary can best be developed." General Gumming practices what he preaches and is himself a fine example of what the simple diet will produce in physique and figure. The only staff on which he leans is the "staff of life" and he still murmurs his boyhood fondness for bread and butter.
