fnlpess.
During the session Of congress jus,
closed Mr.. Foster was easily among
The young leaders Of the house. He Is
one Of the half dozen members whom
Speaker Cannon has been in the habit
Of calling 10 the chair when the impor-
tant appropriation bills were under
consideration. He presided when the
agricultural appropriation bill was I'M
der consideration, and. 10 his credit,
did all in the power of a chairman To
cut out the free seed nuisance.
Mr.. Foster was active, not only in
bis responsible committees, but also on
the floor Of the house. His speech on
the treaty-making power OF the gov
eminent was the first presentation OF
the proposition in the house and at.
tracted wide attention throughout the
country. The views laid down by Mr..
Foster in his remarks on that occasion
were adopted by President Roosevelt
in bis settlement Of the japanese ques'
ton in San Francisco.
Senator Proctor's amendment 10 the
agricultural appropriation bill, in
creasing the sum granted agricultural
colleges, was strongly opposed in the
house, led by the chairman Of the com
mittee on agriculture. Mr.. Foster wa'
one Of the strongest and most active
supporters OF the amendment which
was finally carried, and he was credit
ed at the time with having saved thl,
worthy measure.
There were other propositions Of
distinct value 10 the country and Il
New England in particular which had
Mr.. Fosters active attention on the
floor of the house during the recent
session, but the above sufficiently
shows the strong influence and stand
ing gained by the member Of the first
district, in the house, and cannot fail
TO be gratifying to any one having the
best interests Of the state at heart.
Mr. Fosters ability as an orator has
also made strong demands upon his
time. The most notable addresses de
livered by him the past winter were
perhaps the one at the annual banquet
of the Loyal Legion at Washington and
the one before the Union League Of
Philadelphia on Lincoln's birthday. =
