or In other words, give an account OF
his stewardship. He said he regarded
the work OF the party responsible for
the legislation of the first and second
sessions of the Sixty.irst congress
probably as good a at any time in
history. He said nearly Eve months
we're consumed in the passage of the
tariff bill after it had been treated in
committees for even months. He said
the bill had been strongly criticised
by the opposition party and many
large papers of the east. He added
that the real animus in the premises
was generally understood.
"Yet, l venture to predict" said
he, that the president and the repub-
licau party have passed through this
period without suffering much dam
age. In fact, the republican party
has invariably passed through such
crises with shoulders erect and
emerged triumphantly. Now, let's
i. diagnose this bill. To cay that 1t is
. perfect bill or that the people expect
q perfect bill would be 30 affront to
, American Intelligence. The purpose
of the republican party is to give the
, people o. good Q bill as possible, and
this has been done. 1t provides foz
protection to American labor and to
American industries and at the came
time yields sufficient for the support
of the government.
"The duty on q single food product
has not been raised. 1t provides for

WASHINGTON NOT THE
FIRST o. 8. PRESIDENT

To Senator Dolliver OF Iowa is
due the startling statement of his
torical record that George Washing
ton was not first President of the
United States, and not one out u
thousand persons knows the name
of the man who first held the dis
tinctive title of president of the
United States" In speaking to a
correspondent Of the Lincoln Neb.)
Journal of the custom of tributes in
Congress to members who have
passed away, Senator Dollivcr told
the following interesting story:
81 recollect the most remarkable
experience ever had making n
speech. A statue was to he dcdi-
Gated to the First President of the
United States. Know his name?
No, not George Washington. He
wasn't the first President of the
United States. The first man who
ever held the title was named Han
son; First President Of the First
Congress Of the Confederation. His
title was President of the United
States | delved around In the
books and worked up some OF what
/ thought were mighty interesting
historical data. On the appointed
day | marched into the Senate cham
Der, aud there were eleven pages and
three Senators there. Two of the
Senators, like myself, were to make
speeches. The other was Senator
Hoar. The two other Senators made
their speeches. Being seniors, they
came ahead of me. Eacn, when he
was finished, promptly walked out.
"When | came on my audience
consisted of Senator H0ar, the pages,
the presiding officer, and n fair gal.
lery. ] got up and started In very
much discouraged. Senator HOar
was deeply Interested. He followed
me closely. Presently he moved up
closer to me. Then he got paper and
pencil and began talking notes. He
proved as good an audience AS n full
Senate, and turned myself loose to
entertain him. He became so inter
ested that he would occasionally
drop remarks such as remarkable
really; whore did you get that, and
the like. ! thought was making II
great hit with the veteran, and was
immensely pleased. When got
done thanked him for his attention
and interest, and lie replied; Not
at all, Senator; was much inter
ested because have to make a his
torical speech myself shortly, and
wanted to get notes ON those re-
searches of yours.
"And,n concluded Senator Dol

report of it, showing how he haC
utilized the studies had worked in

Few Women Stop to Consider TrIfes.
II every woman stopped when she
makes up her mind to buy thing and
asked herself: rs It practical. will It

woman does not do her shopping In

she likes, something pretty, something
that takes her fancy, and she buys II.
And many OF the shops where fancy

as one OF their surest sources OF big

PROMISES BROKEN
PLEDGES REPUDIATED.

Following Is an extract from q
speech delivered by Hon. f.. +.
Dunno, former Mayor OF Chicago,
at the Jackson Day Banquet, at
Jackson, Mich:
But the Republican spellbinders
and notably, the Republican nom'-
nee, now President Taft, during the
campaign, kept constantly assuring
the gullible public that upon Mr..
Taft's election, the Dineley act
would be repealed and n tariff net
passed which would tighten the bur
dens then pressing upon the shout
ders OF the middle ana lower class
es. In Il word, they construed the
platform and promised the people n
revision downward.
These promises had been shame
lessly broken. The people relying
upon their promises, especially com
ing from the candidate for the Pres
idency, elected him President of the
United States.
Again successful at the polls the
Republican party rspudiated its
campaign pledges, turned from the
people to its idols and financial back
ers, the lords Of special privileges.
Although trusty friend OF the trust
presided over an equally trusty Sem
ate and the trust operated jumping
Jack Joe Cannon jerked the House
Of Representative up and down
with him at each push or pull Of the
trusts, the people hoped that Presi-
dent Taft would select for his cabi-
net advisers, men who had honor
and manhood enough to advise him
to keep his campaign pledges.
Judge Of their astonishment when
they read of the selection of the fol-
lowing:
Knox, the handy man Of the steel
and other Pennsylvania monopolies.
Nagel, the attorney for the Stand
ard Oil.
"Strict Construction" Ballinger,
who believes in the strict construc-
ton of every law against the gov
eminent, and where the interests Of
private syndicates is involved now
under investigation by Congress.
Hitchcock, lassoer of delegates
and past master of practical politi-
clans.
"Illinois Central" Dickinson and
"Swelled Can Goods" MacNeagh
cX Democrats Of most exclusive
aristocratic and plutocratiC predi.
| lection.
With such able scamcn presiding
over the deliberations and destinies
OF the House and Senate and sitting
at the Presidents elbow to advise
him in the interests Of the dear pco'
pie, the outcome in the shape of tar
i'll legislation could be easily fore
told.

partment of Justice in
Claims Cases.

plorer, will return to active duty in the
Navy Department on November as

Justice in cases before the Court of
Claims involving construction work for

north.
The explorer has been on leave of
absence from the department for about
ten years. during which time he has been
engaged in arctic exploration Recently
his last extension Of leave expired about
the time he was promoted to the rank
OF captain as the result of the death Of
senior officer. A bill is now pending
IN Congress to make Peary a rear admiral
as mark of recognition for his poIar
exploits.
There are fifteen claim cases s,ending
against the Navy Department, most Of
tnen In connection with the construction
OF dry docks for the government. Peary's
work will consist of giving the govern
ment lawyers expert advice as to the
vaiue OF engineering work and the like.
