1T WAS TOO BAD.
Nobody Would Give wiIIiams's Por-
trait to Him.

Washington, March 6.-When John
Sharp Williams, for six years minor
ity leader, left the house to rest two
years before coming to the senate. he
did not take with him any memento
of the esteem in which his fellow
members held him. 1t was not the
members fault, however. They com
missioned an artist at a fancy price
to paint a portrait of the noted Mis-
sissippi statesman, but the product
was so disappointing none had the
heart to present it.
L know am not handsome COM
mented Mr.. Williams as he looked at
the portrait, but they could not have
done worse if they had been painting
a ham"
When did he die?'' inquired Vice
President Sherman
81 wouldn't give that to the man
who shot my dog" declared Repre-
sentative Cushman of Washington.
and the members decided he was
right.

SLOW HAND SHAKER.
Taft Can't Approach Record Made by
Roosevelt.

Washington, March 6.-President
/ Taft today considered the future exist
ence of the national conservation COM
| mission. This question was raised by
an amendment to an appropriation
bill and the members of the joint com
mittee on cooperation, which includes
Senators Nelson of Minnesota, and
Milton of Florida, representing the
conservation commission and Cover
nors Wilson, of Kentucky, Deneen, of
Illinois, and former Governor Pardee,
of California, representing the state
organizations, took up the questions
with Mr.. Taft to ascertain his con-
struction of the amendment.
The position of the Joint commission
is that congress has no jurisdiction to
legislate the commission out of exis-
tence, in view of the fact that it is an
advisory board appointed by the ex-
ton.
The members of the Union League
club of Brooklyn presented President
Taft today with a bronze tablet on
which was engraved the farewell
words of Abraham Lincoln.
In welcoming his many visitors to
the White house today. Mr.. Taft re-
marked that although he had come in
like a Hon-having reference to the
blizzard on the 4th of March-he
hoped to go out like lamb.
1t is observed that President Taft
has not yet struck the stride in hand
shaking that Mr.. Roosevelt had &C
quired. President Taft insists on hear
ing the full name of the person intro
duced and seems in no hurry to pass
him along and grasp the next hand.
Observers who have seen both men in
action, say that Mr.. Roosevelt would
shake one hundred hands in the time
it takes Mr. Taft to meet ten persons.
Collectively and individually the nine
members of the Philippine commits
sion through Governor General Smith
have sent to President Taft heartiest
greetings and best wishes for a pros
porous and happy administration.
The governor general also sent to
the secretary of war for transmission
to the president a resolution adopted
March 4, by both houses of the Philip
pine legislature expressing admiration
and respect for the president, coupled
with the wish that his administration
may abound with all kinds of bless
ings and benefits for the Americans
and for the Philippine people. A pre-
amble to the resolution recites that the
establishment of the civil government
in the Philippine islands, the inaugur-
alton of a Philippine national elective
assembly and the right now enjoyed
by the Filipinos to participate directly
in the making of their own laws, were
brought about through the efforts,
ability and energy of Mr.. Taft.

There are now bright prospects that
the recognition long denied to James

is to be at last accorded him. A bill will
be introduced in the West Virginia Leg

county. in the House. and Senator Nc

appropriation Of S. 600 for the erection
of monument to the memory of the
great inventor at Shepherdstown, the

and with q strong eudorsem@nt Of the
