Artist Murphy. Hitherto Unknown

By Francis B. Gessner.
1t is somewhat remarkable that thu

now hangs in the White House was
painted by an humble and hitherto I'M
Known artist in New York to whom
the President never accorded a sitting
The lamented Mckinley did pose fol
famous artists of Europe and the best
portrait painters of our own country,
yet 1t remained for Mr.. William D.
Murphy, of New York, to produce with
the aid only of photographs the one
portrait of Mckinley most acceptable
to the family and friends. more than
That, 1t was considered the most de-
s1rable one to be hung on the historic
walls Of the White House,
Mr.. Murphy has a modest little STU
do at II East Sixteenth street. New
York, just off Union Square. He had
achieved some local fame as a palms,
taking portrait painter, but had never
dreamed of having q picture hung in
the White House along with portraits
done by the most famous artists of sew
eral generations. After the terrible
tragedy at Buffalo, Mr.. Murphy made a
collection Of the Presidents photo
graphs, together with information as
10 coloring and aided by Mrs, Murphy,
who Is also an artist, produced a pic
ture In pastel. When the picture was
finished Mr.. Murphy made efforts to
have Abner Mckinley, the brother of
the President, see and criticise the
work. Finally the artist had an in
terview with Colonel Wilbur C. Brown.

been very close to the beloved Chief |

REFORM NLAW=MAKING.
Ex-Attorney General Griggs ar
Advocate of Deliberate LegiS-
lation.

John W. Griggs, at one time Attorne.

tration, where he achieved fame for hi
, ability as an exponent of the law, ant
later one of the strongest members O
The Hague tribunal, has lately beer
expounding to the people of New Jer
, sey doctrine of real reform. 1t il
; believed that he knows whereof he
speaks, for hardly any man in thai
States political life should know either
the need for reform or the difficulties
of achieving 1t better than he. Before
President Mckinley induced him to
become member Of his Cabinet Mr.
Griggs had earned his way to the head
of the New Jersey bar, served as mem
Der of the General Assembly and State
Senator, been elected president of the
latter body, and met the responsible
ties Of the governorship. He recently
spoke at celebration on Forefathers'
Day In Orange and laid this law down
mildly but clearly to the State politi-
clans in the name Of the decent men Of
the Commonwealth:
Publicity, no backstair legislation;
no passage Of bills because some one
has O KID them beforehand; discus
sion Of measures on the floor of the
House; real reasons to the public Civ.
en- why measures are favored or pro.
posed, and a return of the days when
legislative bodies were debating socie.
ties and the public favored as much
with reason for voting as with elo.
quence."
Mr.. Briggs advocates reform in the
enactment Of State legislation when he
says:
Rarely is a bill read each of the
three constitutional times, except by IT,
tie. 1t passes in accordance with de.
cision made previously somewhere else. |
I do not say the influence is an improp-
er one, but that influence was felt in
the side rooms or on the back stairs
before the fate Of a measure was de-
cided. This method Is repression of
individuality, sinking rights into a
mere expression Of some one else's
views or wishes"
Reports from New Jersey seem to
show that legislation at Trenton is
practically in the same condition as
hat which existed at Jefferson City
before Governor Folk washed the Mis-
souri, capital clean. The policy advo-
lated by Mr.. Griggs has a tendency to
Freak up the State Organization" for

atures to their old standing as DELHI .
