HOUSE HUMORlST NAME,
BUT GOT CREDIT FOR
MEANING IN HIS WIT

WASHINGTON, July 6. - While
Representative Cushman possessed un-
challenged the title Of "House Humor-
ist" he was universally regarded as
far more than that. His high ability
was recognized by Speaker Cannon in
committee appointments, particularly
in his selection to fill a vacancy on
the ways and means committee at a
time when a great tariff bill was to be
reported to the house for considera-
tion.
One striking thing about Repre-
sentative Cushman was he never dis
played his gift of humor to the house
for it's amusement, but always with a
view of impressing his view more
forcibly on that body.
In contrast with humorists who have
passed into history, his fame does not
rest on a single speech. His maiden
effort in the house attracted so much
attention to him that ever thereafter
he gained hearing as soon as he
arose. His style of expression and his
homely appearance had quite as much
to do with the effect as humorous re-
marks.
One of his first speeches to attract
attention touched on the effects of the
panic of 1893.
In describing the impoverished condi-
ton to which his constituents were
ne Sdlu liltN were lOIttu W
live on CLANS washed ashore by the
incoming tide.
"Their stomachs," he concluded. rose
and fell with the rising and falling of
the tide"
Long viii Be Remembered
He probably will be long remembered
by reason of the effectiveness of his
humor in the debates on the Payne
tariff bill in the house. His speech in
defense of retaining the duty on lumber
secured several additional votes on the
schedule.
Cushman's acquiescing to a rule for
a vote on the Payne bill. with reduced
rates on lumber assured its passage.
In describing to the house his feelings,
he likened them to those of a cow
puncheI. in Wyoming whose ability to
raise 1000 cattle in one summer with
one COW as a starter, caused a rope to
be placed around his neck by a vigi-
lance committee.
"They asked Bill what he had to
say explained Mr.. Cushman. "Old
Bill rolled his quid into the other
cheek and said We'll, gentlemen. 1
suppose 1 got more interest in this per-
formance than any other gent present,
but l am the least enthusiastic over
the program
Had Varied Career
The Washington congressman was
said to have looked more like Lincoln
than any other public man of recent
years. In summing up his career, he
said he had been a water boy, section
hand. cowboy, school teacher, lawyer
and congressman. He was in congress
for more than ten years.
Sergeant at Arms Casson of the
house and the Washington delegation
in congress have telegraphed Mrs.
Cushman for an expression of her
wishes as to sending the body either to
Mr.. Cushman's home in Tacoma or to
his birthplace at Brighton, Iowa, and
for arranging for a congressional escort
to the burial place. The house will
not be in session until Thursday, when
final action win be taken
