ented the delegate from Montana,
Mr.. Roosevelt remarked, "Whv,

OF Washington extended him an
invitation to visit that State, he
said: "Oh yes, | will be in Wash

kind to me than | think she will
be-" To the delegate from Iowa
he remarked, "Iowa is all right. :"
and to the Idaho man who follow
ed he said, "Idaho and her noun
tain lions are all right, too"
"Aou don't have to tell me about
the sunflower State,' he said
as he shook the hand of the Kan
sas man. When the Texas man
WAS reached, Mr.. Roosevelt said (:
Texas furnished the Rough Rid

was from Texas knew he was all
right. "

(From our Regular orresp t,den, J !

One result of having trained,
literary man for President will he
a new sort of annual message to
Congress-ons With no statistical
and departmental padding, and
which will present only tho views
Of the President, and be prepared
entirely by, him. At the last
meeting OF the Cabinet, which
was the first with fnll.attsndaucs,
since Mr.. Roosevelt became Presi
dent, ths President informed the
mem mbsrs that the custom of 'hav
ing each of them write that por-
ton of the tho Presidents annual
message to Congress dealing with
the details of affairs in their re-
spoctive departments would bs
abandoned; that the massage would
he entirely prepared by himself
and would not duplicate any of
tho details in the annual rsports
of the msmb bsrs of the Cabinet,
which Congress would have any
way, hut would be exclusively
devoted to such topics as he con
sidered 1T necessary to cali the at
tsntion Of Congress to. This will
be quite sharp cutting of red
tape, but from the point of view
Of those who read the message it
will certainly bs an Improvement,
and it will not lessen public in
formation in any way, as the an
nual reports of the mem mbsrs of
tho Cabinet can DO obtained by
all who wish to read them.
The theory that women have
no head for finance gets Jared
quite frequently these days. Miss.
Lillian Norton, of Texas, has
just been appointed Superinten-
dent of the system of finance in
the Post Office Department, a
position of great responsibility and
carrying salary of 50, 2,25O-tbs

that department Miss Norton
has been a clerk in the division
since 1886, and has often acted
temporarily as it's head. Her ap-
point ment Is only temporary the
politicians wouldn't allow such a
juicy plum to woman permanent
ly-but it is an homer to her and
a testimonial to the business abili-
ty of woman in general.
Whether right or wrong is inn
material at this state of the game,
but thousands believe that Rear
Admiral Crowninshield, Chief Of
the Bureau of Navigation of the
Navv Department, was more re-
sponsible than any other one man
for what most people believe to
have been a sy y,tematic attempt TO
lower Rear Admiral Schlev in
public esteem. Consequently there
IS great rejoicing over the official
announcement that Crownins shield
is to bs assigned to duty elsew here.
