n URING the heat of the tariff ses-
u sion Representative Serene E.
Payne of New York, who boasts as
large a girth as any member of con-
gress, had occasion to go to the White
House with frequency. The amount of
news he gave up on these occasions to
the newspaper men would have
starved space writer to death in
about two days. In addition, Mr.. Payne,
who was always polite on such occa-
sions, finally became little bit gruff,
because of the rapid-fire bombardment
of questions which were daily thrown
at him. Finally, a reporter on a
Washington newspaper, who was about
as large around the waist line as Mr..
Payne, recorded the call of the Re-
publican leader at the White House
by saying that Mr.. Payne had, that
day, "waddled" in to see the president
and out again. The next day, when
hailed by the same reported for news,
Mr.. Payne got even by retorting:
Tell your paper that it's reporter
waddled after Mr.. Payne, who replied
that he had no news"
Recently Mr.. Payne called at the
White House and the reporter greeted
him with:
well, Mr.. Payne, see you are still
waddling to the White House."
"You must go around with look
ing-glass in front of you all the time,'
came the reply from Mr.. Payne, with

wv first thing a
w fellow ought to do when he goes
counting is to get line on his future
mother-in-law, because she's going to
be either his best friend or his worst
enemy"
1t was Carrie Nation who confided
this bit of philosophy to reporter
The enforced leisure of the Wash
ington workhouse, where she was be-
ing held pending a hearing on a
charge of destroying property, had CIV
en- Mrs. Nation the chance to turn
her attention from her pet theme, and
it was an off day for the demon rum
as far as she was concerned
Il am going to devote large part
Sf my time hereafter to seeing that
lnothers-in-law get the attention they
ought to have from the American peo-
pla," she said, warming to her theme.
"Why, man ought to love his mother
in-law as much as he does his wife,
and if he does not it's a sign
either that he's soaked all the
decency out of him with whisky or
burned it out with these fool cigar
cites. If a man does not like the
mother of the girl he's going with he
better light out and book his spare

THE Pressed Steel Car Company of
i Pittsburg, which was recently in
the throes of long strike, is estab-
fishing a branch in Washington, not
for the purpose of acquiring new bust
ness in that district, but to keep in d.
rect touch with governmental affairs
This is following out the policy of
President F. N. Hofstot, who claims
that within a few years every corpora
ton of any size in the United States
will maintain similar Office in the
national capital to keep close watch
on what the government is doing and
make an annual report to its head
offices wherever they happen to be-.
The corporations hope through the
newspapers to disseminate the action
and policies of the Unions executive
officers and Offices. They will main.
tain their own clerical sleuths.
Business is taking the place of poll
tics in our government" said Mr.. Hof-
stot. 1.-THE government Of this country
is becoming more commercialized ev-
cry day. The commercial interests are

becoming more important than poll
tics. Commerce and business are the
mainstay of the nation, and expect
only the right that the government
should give greater rights to them.
Politics in the future should take
back seat This will increase as the
years pass. My own view is that ev-
cry big industrial firm should keep
in close touch with the doings of the
government, and particularly with
those departments devoted to the COM
mercial and industrial interests"
Mr.. Hofstot was asked about poll
tics.
What I get in politics." he ex-
claimed. why, if man wants to
have his name sullied and his reputa-
ton dragged down in this country all
he has to do is to get into politics;
run for office and the rest is easy"
1t is anticipated that the other biz
corporations of America will follow
the ideas outlined by the head of
the Pressed Steel Car Company.
There are agencies already in exist
ence representing the two biggest cor
porations in the world in Washington
known to-day, the Standard Oil Com
pany and the United States Steel cor
poration. But as for business offices
with regular corps of workmen and
public communication with the affairs
of the government they do not now
| exist.

sure thing that the girl will turn out
to be Just like the old lady.
"This law of heredity that I've been
studying lately is wonderful thing.
It's the keynote of the whole matri'
monial problem. Now, if fellow be-
gins to think his girls mother is pref
ty nice dispositioned, he don't need to
look any farther than that house for
wife. And after he gets married It's
most likely that his mother-in-law
will be willing to do more for him than
his wife will in the way of cooking and
economizing and minding his chill
dren."
Mrs. Nation owns to So years, but
says she will fight to the death
against the demon rum. She has now
achieved the browning triumph of her
nine years crusade-the smashing of
the glass furnishings in the big Union
station here.
Mrs. Nations defense was that she
did not destroy private poverty but
public nuisance. She says she will
take her case clear to the Supreme
court of the United States.

u ney Daniel w. Baker and An
drew A. Lipscomb, the leading GRIM
inal lawyer of Washington, passed the

Mr. Baker was the prosecutor and
Mr.. Lipscomb the attorney of the de-

Senator Julius Caesar Burrows of
Michigan, after an exceedingly busy
day in which he called upon the presi-
dent and several members of the cab
met, thereby arousing the suspicion Of
the Michigan newspaper men to q
fever heat, was met by one of them,
who inquired:
Senator, have you any news con-
cealed about your person to-day?"
YES" replied the senator. Thor
oughly concealed"
Speaking of Senator Burrows takes
one back to the Fifty-first congress.
which was the last time Republican
members of the house ever tried to
elect a speaker without first having
thrashed out the field of candidates in
advance. In that congress there were
five Republican candidates for the
speakership, and it took several bal.
lots to make choice. The candidates
were Thomas B. Reed of Maine, VIII
liam Mckinley of Ohio, David B. Hen
derson of Iowa, Joseph G. Cannon OF
Illinois and j. c. Burrows of Michigan
Mr.. Reed finally won out and appoint
ed Mckinley chairman and Burrows q
member of the house committee on
ways and means. Henderson became
chairman of the committee on the ju
dietary, and Cannon Of the committee
on appropriations. The following SEES
sion Mckinley was defeated at the
polls, was later elected governor OF

United States. Burrows went to the
senate from Michigan. When Reed re
signed his seat in congress he was
