HENRY ALLEN COOPER
For well over a quarter of a century Henry Allen
Cooper, Representative from Wisconsin and oldest
House member in point of service, who died yesterday,
represented the first Wisconsin district and with his
reelection to the Sixty-Ninth Congress, also became,
one of the oldest in point of years.
His long period of succeeding terms had but one
interruption, when, in 1918, his defeat was brought
about by an attack on his war record. He was one of
the half hundred House members who voted against
American entrance into the world war.
This defeat was by less than 500 votes after Coop
er's campaign was cut short by a severe injury in an
automobile accident about two weeks before election
day.
Cooper’s height, his snow white beard and digni
fied carriage, gave him a distinction that always com
manded attention when he entered debate. He attri
buted his one defeat to various amndmnts to war bills,
singled out votes to various amendments to war bills,
rather than his votes on passage of the measures.
In a speech before the House April 5, 1917, when
the country was on the verge of the war, he asserted:
“I assume that the war is to come. When it comes
we will be united in support of the government. I shall
do all that I can to achieve victory for our country.”
He subsequently voted in favor of war with Aus
tria-Hungary on Dec. 7, 1917.
For his two open clashes in 1923-24 with the con
trolling powers of Republicanism, he was removed at
the.* opening of the Sixty-Ninth Congress from his high
position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and
placed at the foot of the list of the Republican members
as punishment for his support of the LaFollette move
ment. ?j **
He was one of the few members to adhere to the
frock coat, so conventional on Capitol Hill in the earl
ier days of American history.
Cooper was first elected to the Fifty-Ninth Con
gress, previously having served in the Wisconsin Sen
ate. He was a delegate to the Republican National Con
vention in 1884 and for a time served as district attor
ny for Racine County.
We have to chuckle each time we read one of Stew
art Edward White’s, Editor McGuire and Frothing
ham’s articles about the alleged proposal of The Gate
way to exterminate the brown bear of Alaska. They
know as well as we do that the whole United States
army couldn’t do that. But, the three mentioned are
peddling their stuff for cash, so what the heck! That’s
more than we’re getting.
It is estimated that if a whale 90 feet long be
struck on the tail by a harpoon two seconds will elapse
before the blow will be communicated to the brain and
ditto before the tail strikes back at the tormentors. The
whale has it on the politician who wouldn’t register the
blow at all if hit on the head
Seems as though the people of Seward are in for
an awful shock, about Saturday, when six tons of dyn
amite will be fired off in an effort eo efface some few
thousand yards of avoirdupois from Mount Mara
thon’s “tummy.”
The phrase about “government of the people, by
the people, for the people,” was probably only another
of Lincoln’s little jokes. In any case we should hear it re
repeated many times within the next 60 days.
