STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington. Feb. 15.-Senators and
congressman are having their like
nesses taken" these days. The new
congressional directory is to be illus
trated and, Of course, every member
Of both branches wants to look his
pre- tticst.
Uncle Joe" Cannon was asked for
his favorite photograph and forgot to
bring it with him several times. FL
nally the agent having his matter in
charge impressed the speaker so much
that he RENE mbered to bring picture
with him. The agent met him out
side the senate chamber
Did you bring that photograph, Mr..
Cannon" was asked.
yep, got you this time" said Uncle
Joe, fishing in his cOat-tails pocket.
Got 'er here somewhere. There you
are"
And he drew forth a faded Old
daugerreotypc.
"Why, Mr.. Cannon, this will hardly
DO" said the agent. You were not
more than 20 years old when this was
taken. 1t would not be representa-
tive"
That's what you asked for-my ia
vorite picture. That's it. | was a
pretty husky lad in those days, too.
Could shoulder two bushel Of wheat
while standing on half-bushel meas
ure. And | could put the grapevine
twist on any able-bodied hand in the
neighborhood. That's my favOIite
photograph, all right. for all it is min
us chin adornment. Still, if you'd
prefer the picture Of a man who's
running into years, for all he feels like
a chore boy, I'll bring you one down
tomorrow.
John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee,

slicked up his damask hair and fixed
graceful curl over his coat collar.

been assured that it is good one.
The photographer did not succeed
in getting a good negative until he
had posed his subject three or four
times. Whatever was the reason com

nation, that being that Mr.. Gaines
who, as every one knows, is a great
talker. insisted on declaiming few
things to the photographer while the
camera was in action. The result was

Finally, the story goes, the photo

not united on this subject, and in

that some of the larger shippers and
manufacturers, who are not SO visibly
affected by the diScontinuance OF in

do without it to keep the freight cars

street. From the Commercial club
nothing is expected. as the diversity of

association does not cater to any cor

talk to the average travelling man and
the average shipper, who is affected,
and he don't care what streets in Rich

A number of funny things happened

A new member from Wisconsin pro-

be smoking d cigar when the picture

he would appear more dignified and
more in keeping with the general form
if he had another photograph made

Senator Beverage, by the way, does
not cling TO the sack coat when it
comes to having his photograph APP
pearing in the directory. He quickly
went back TO the formal frock coat
Senator Beveridge, shortly after his
marriage, donned the sack coat and
set a new fashion in the senate He
looked quite youthful but immeasur-
ably more comfortable than his fellow

when it come to being photographed it
is quite a different matter.

JUDAS kISSERS,

Up to a year ago one did not hear u
welt. Republicans the country over
all joined in giving praise to the one
man who was fearless enough to throw
down the gage of battle to the vicious
corporations in their stronghold in
acies by the united press of the repub-
acan party. But this apparent har-
mony in the party only seemed to last
as long as there was any thought that
the president might be a candidate for
realized that he was sincere in his de-
termination not to accept another nom
dnatton the republican party immedi-
Gtely split into two factions-those
who favored a thoroughly alive and
militant government in the interests of
the people and those who favored a re
turn to the old days Of trust domino
wealthy criminals. Those men who
composed the latter undesirable class
had up to that time been the most ar
dent in their protestations of friend
ship for and belief in President Roose-
welt. Now, however, Judas-like, they
have turned on him and are rending
him and his policies limb from limb
Nothing too false or malicious but they
will use it in their corrupt newspapers
They attribute the recent financial
troubles to him and accuse him Of be-
ing the cause of over a million men be-
ing out of work throughout the coun-
try. They stick determinedly to this
false story in spite of the fact that all
the thinking people of the country
know that the panic was the direct re-
suit of the uncurbed freedom accorded
to Wall street operators if it was not,
in fact, manufactured by them in order
to discredit the president.
The president Is well rid Of these
fawning sycophants and the country
is better off for the split in the party
We now know who are and who are
not for the people and their rights
The president is now unhampered by
the treacherous work of false friends
and can proceed with his great work
all the better. with the cooperation OF
his tried and proven friends
