LIFE OF JOHN W. DAVIS
DEM. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
(Continued from page 2)
lawyers of seventy can point to.
Won Noted Catsea
Celebrated cases he won were what was known as “The Pipe Line J
Case.” a decision which compelled oil companies to post their schedules
and to adhere to them with respect to all well owners, the income tax
law of 1913, the ship subsidy cases, the Adamson eight-hour law. the Sel
ective Draft Act of 1917, and ipiany others.
The long-suffering justices are said to have found him a joy which
they hoped in vain would endure forever. One tjait appealed to them.
Davis would consent to long speeches by the opposition, but he could not
tolerate the the tight of one by himself.
One of his practices was to let his opponents lull the court to sleep
under a blanket of verbiage. Then, with ashort, concise definition of
the issue, delivered in the rapid searching style for which he will always
be remembered in the Supreme Court, he would rouse the justices to
wide-eyed wakefulness.
During his term as Ambassador, which began in November. 1918. it
was said in London Davis was one of the most popular and highly es
teemed diplomats who had represented the United States in many years.
On the eve of his departure he was the guest of honor of the Pilgrim
Society, and London newspapers characterized the gathering as among
the most notable ever assembled for the purpose of bidding farewell to
an American diplomat in England. The Prince of Wales and Lord Cur
zon. Redding and Desborough paid tribute to Davis as “one of the most
illustrious in the line of American Ambassadors in the 'ast quarter cen
Attacks Reds
Replying to the eulogistic speeches. Davis thanked the speakers and
then declared that “recent events had proved militarism to be a danger
and not a safeguard.” branding Communism as "an ignoble fraud.”
the Ambassador devoted most if his speech to the Anglo-American re
lations.
Davis is a “good mixer.” He has hsid enough of the rough-and
tumble of politics to keep him out of the exquisite class, despite a certain
perfection in dress and distinction n appearance.
His first laurels in Congress were won as the prosecutor of Judge
Archbold, of Pennsylvania, who was impeached in the Senate.
He framed the principal provision of the Webb-Kenyon Act to pro
hibit shipments of liquor in interstate commerce to dry territory.
When he was twelve he was urged by school officials to take an ex
amination for teacher in the Clarksburg public schools, but declined on
advice of his father.
When he was twenty-one he was offered the presidency of the Wash
ington and Lee University, from which he had just graduated.
When he was thirty three he was elected President of the West Vir
ginia Bar Association.
Taught b.V Mother
His mother was a native of Baltimore. an<l she has told how. when
'she undertook his education, he used to roll on the floor at nighr, recft-|
ing his lessons as he rolled.
He was born in Clarksburg. April IS. 1873, when his father wai J
eminent as a churchman and lawyer. After “graduating:” from hi. j
mother’s “school.” he attended two boarding schools, in one of which he !
■was one of two male students in a large class of girls.
Noted for his studiousness and bashfulness, he devoted most of his
time to books. Members of his family credited him with saying he
would rather walk three blocks out of his way than meet a girl acquaint
ance. They declared that at George Youngs Boarding School where the
students were all girls except Davis and another boy—he was cured of his
bashfulness.
At the age of thirteen he entered I’antops Academy, a preparatory
school at Charlottesville, Va. At sixteen he graduated and entered
Washington and Lee University.
He was graduated from the University in 1892. with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. In 1905 the institution conferred the degree ..f
Bachelor of Law upon him. He then returned to Clarksburg and was
admitted to the bar. The following year Washington and Lee called him
back to serve as an assistant professor of law', a position he filled for
Father Law Partner
Returning to Clarksburg he formed a law partnership with his
father and practiced his profession until he made his first venture into
public life in 1899, when he was elected to the State Legislature on the
Democratic Ticket. As an immediate recognition of his legal know
ledge he was made chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
After serving one term Mr. Davis retired from politics adn in ac
cordance with the expressed wishes of his father, who was, to quote him.
“sick of politics,” and determined to keep his son in a law office, refused
the importunities of party leaders to reenter the political field.
He did, however, represent West Virginia as a delegate to the Dem- i
ocratlc National Convention in 1904 and 1908.
President Wilson in the Summer of 1918 selected Mr. Davis to rep
resent the United 8tates on a commission to negotiate with Germany the
treatment and exchange of war prisoners. When the armistice was sign
ed the commission was itting at Berne. Switserland. About to return to
America, announcement of the resignation of Walter Hines Page as Am
bassador to the Court of St. James was made, and President Wilson cabl
ed the commission was sitting at Berne, Switzerland. About to return to
Mr. Davis is a former President of the American Bar Association, a \
member of college fraternities, the Masons. Elks and Woodmen. His
first wife was Julia T. McDonald, who died in 1900. leaving one daughter.
Julia McDonald Davis. In 1912. he married >fiss Ellen G. Bassel, and
to this union, one daughter, Ruth, was born.

IT WAS DOGS OF ’!»«;
-VOW IT IS THU .U TO
"The only difference is the autos
'.<'. '1 howl and raise rain all night."
The speaker was Harry Greger
-■ n. who passed through Juneau re
jirntly on the ste.imer Admiral Wat
I n. an old timer who was a member
<f the Klondike contingent in early
, days an«l who secured a claim on
I I cnanza creek in the Klondike dis
trict and stayed with it until it waa
! Mr. Gregersen. says Stroller
V'hlte in his Juneau paper, was con
ttasting the deck loads of steamers
1 lying Alaskan "waters now with
! what they carried years ago.
Then it was dogs - dogs in crates,
dogs on chains, dogs in ship’s lower
| storage spaces, dogs on the main
decks, dogs on the upper decks,
| dogs everywhere about the ship
where there was any room for them.
In those days the promenade decks
\ ere so cluttered up and congested
with dogs that there was no place
for the passengers to exercise.
Gregersen. who is a brother-in-law
of Jack Langseth. foreman of the
office of The Stroller’s Weekly, has
quit Alaska “for good" several
times since working out his Bonan
za creek claim, but has always come
for jifst one more trial at wooing
Dame Fortune. He last left the
North five years ago after being
road building for a couple of years.
That time he was sure he was
through with the North. However,
he is now back for just one more
season which he will spend some
where in the interior and which will
be devoted to prospecting.
Except for the howling at night,
Gregersen said he would prefer
traveling with the dogs of the past
to the autos of the present. The
former are more friendly and easire
to get over or around.

Cutting the hair injures its grow
