There are more- than f2B00000 people living in the villages of
. the United States..; Some of them are farmers others are trades-
. men proprietors owners and managers but the great majority of
- them are unskilled laborers engaged in manufacturing. Taken as
. a whole the American village is a small-scale manufacturing cen-
. ter. It has also been discovered that the number of children per
-. family is smaller in the village- than in the-open 'country that the
number of old people and clergymen is larger in the village than
elsewhere and that native white stock predominates in them. .
Thus does the village become the. citadel of conservatism
intolerant of the insurgency of the fahner and of the-radicalism of
the wage earners of the big city. The atmosphere of small proprie-
V torship proverbially- conservative is so deeply entrenched in the
small town aa to be in little danger; of disturbance. '

'-LETTED
. . By CHARLES -P. STEWART 7.7
j - . . NEA Service Writer. .i-;
. Washington. Trust as extraordln-
ry a senator as James' A. Reed of
Missouri to have an extraordinary
secretary. . t
The tact la that Hlcklln Yates la
tar more than a mere secretary or 7'
even super-secretary. He comes pretty
close to ' being an assistant senator. 1
Indeed there are quite a few full
senators who aren't as important as
Assistant Senator Yates. .. ' v.. Ky
Reed la very proud of his secretary
or maeiatant and be hae reaeon to ;
be. Yatea la a unique poaeaaelon and -1
extremely valuable. -
Reed haa so many Interests and
such strenuous ones hes on so many
Senate committees and sub-committee
and special committees he .con-
ducts 1 ao many investigation! he
makes . so many apeechea. hes in-
volved In ao many flghta hla time is
so occupied and overoccupied that
there simply isn't enough of him to
go around.
' Aa the saying la he ought to be
Incorporated.
Well In effect so he is with him-
self as president engaged in map-
ping out - broad - general policies.
Yates aa vice president and general-
manager la - In charge of tbe - com-
pany's actual operations.
For Instance everybody wondered
bow In the world Reed managed to
push that Investigation Into -the late
Pennsylvania Republican senatorial
primary election and Keep up with
hi regular Senate work at the same
time. ;
. The Investigation alone ran three
sessions dally and far Into tbe night
By Itself it looked ha If it waa enough
to hep the Missouri senator more
than fully occupied while It lasted.
Yet he always wu on hand -la tha
Senate chamber when the solon a ware
transacting - business mixing - into '
everything debating and dlacnssing
and orating juet aa If he had nothing
else 'on h'a mind.
How did he do ItT. "
Tbe answer Is Hlcklln Yatee.
A t I si 4 I
Whan Reed was appointed chairman-
of the slush fund investigating
committee. Yates aa hla ' secretary
automatically became the commit-
tee's secretary.
He worked up the whole luveetlga- -tlon.
