He likes to give a poetic touch to Ills speeches nnd his writings and, although he Is not a religious man, rends the Bible at his home, in Ids office and often on his travels.

In Kansas we have the heavy draft horse at Its best," sabl Mr, Shouse. lie belongs to the farm and does his work well. When we want to go anywhere we use an automobile, but I know what the thoroughbred means to the country at large, nnd particularly to communities In which horse breeding Is an economic asset, In a recent tour through my district I was forcibly reminded of a lg I pho-WP- ed-tt- p ex-ste- y -- Z ' a high-strun- J movement which hnd its Inception In Kentucky in 1898, when a breeders organization was formed to purchase nil undesirable or barren thorough, bred mares and resell them without name or pedlgvee. When I saw the sorry nondescripts which were being picked up I couldn't help thinking how much superior these thoroughbred outcasts were to the riffraff which had neither breeding nor Individuality to commend them. The European war has been a great benefit to the United States, as It has taken a lot of worthless breeding metortul. What we need now Is a little intelligence nnd Initiative to remedy the g mistakes of former generations.

Langley hnd never been In the county before until he entered the race for congress and knew little about conditions there. One of the things he dki not know was that the county was noted for its almost complete absence of colored people. The people there for years had made a specialty of keeping out the negroes, limply because they had a prejudice n favor of an exclusively white That being the case, a Dem-crntpolitician named Van Zunt, later state chairman In Kentucky, arcom-uunlt- y. ic ranged with the liveryman where Langley would have to go for a rig, to give him a colored driver. When Langley arrived Innocently on the scene, alongside of his colored driver, Van Zant walked up to him and Inquired in a loud voice: Which one of you gentlemen Is going to speak first?" The crowd then laughed so bard at Langley that he was unable to speak at all. t ..." |
