EGG ROLLING AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, ID. c., March 2S-In ac-
cordance with the custom originated
by President Lincoln the grounds of
the White House were thrown open
today for the annual Easter Monday
egg-rolllng festival TO give the chill
dren as much room as possible for
their sport and frolick, adults, unac-
companied by children were not per-
mitted to the grounds. Several thous-
and children of all ages and colors
ayailed themselves of the opportuni-
ty to roll their eggs on the lawns
around the White House and play all
kinds of delightful games. In the
most democratic fashion the children
of mlllionaires mingled In their joyful
sport with the children of the poor
and for the once all distinctions of
wealth, station or race were wiped
out. President and Mrs. Taft took
great interest in the frolicks of the
children and frequently watched them
from the windows OF the White
House. In the afternoon there was
a band concert in the Ellipse south OF
the White House grounds, which at
tracted large number of persons.

Columbus, O., March 26.--Members

present session, hailed with delight
the appearance in the house of the
general appropriation bill, which is
the usual sign that the session Is

It will go to the senate late next
week unless there is an unusual fight
on it in the house, and on the time
the senate spends on 1t depends the
length of the session.
The bill carries $S,785,842, as
against $S,363,OO0 last year, and,
with an income of but S7,206,SS0 in
sight, means a deficit of over a mil

INSURGENTS scoRNED

So Dalzell Is to be chairman of the
new rules committee Of the lower
house of congress.
Who is Dalzell? The chief lieuten-
ant of Speaker Cannon on the old
rules committee that was controlled
absolutely by Cannon.
Not one of the progressive" Repub-
Iican congressman, known also as lin
surgents", was put on the committee.
All of the majority members of the
committee are known as regulars"
because they stand by Cannon.
How did that happen? Why, the
slate that was put through the Re-
publican caucus was fixed up by that
other loyal supporter Of Cannon and
the interests, Jim Tawney of Min
nesota, the only Republican congress
man from the Northwest who voted
for the ft-Cannon-Aldrich tariff 1t
was at jim Tawney's home, Winona,
you remember, where President Taft
made that astounding speech last sum
mer in which he first declared that
the new tariff law lis the best tariff
ever enacted by the Republican par
ty," and practically read ont of the
party all of the Republican congress-
men who did not vote for it,
OF all men Tawney was the highest
of right regulars" to fix up a slate
for the new rules committee. Look
at the list: DalZelI of Pennsylvania, j.
Sloat Fassett Of New York, Lawrence
of Massachusetts,, IIoutell of Illinois,
Smith of Iowa, and Smith of Caliiorn-
ia, all regulars" Of the most regular
type; and Dalzel becomes chairman
through seniority of service.
Are you fool enough to believe that
IL just happened that Dalzell got to be
chairman of the new committee be-
cause he has been in congress longer
than the others? Or do you suspoc.
that Cannon had something to do with
the slate made up by Tawney and
that Dalzell was picked with special
reference TO his Seniority 80 that
Cannon would have his chief lieuten
ant at the head of the new rules
committee?
What farce all this fight of the
insurgents" against Cannon turned
out to be at the Gnish. Cannon de
lying the house to depose him and be
ing retained by vote OF all the Re
publicans except eight, a larger vote
than he received when he was re-
elected speaker last year; and now q
rules committee with his own hench
men in the majority and the chiefest
OF them all for chairman to do his
bidding on the floor without his being
held personally responsible.
oh, you insurgents" in congress!
What laughing stock Cannon has
made of you aud called you towards
besides. You have succeeded only IN
proving that the only way to insurg,
against cannon is to elect a Democrat
&c congress- next November.
