party of Mrs. Taft on the White

of the most interesting functions the

to o'clock Friday evening, and the
scene was most beautiful All the nota-
bles in Washington were present, and
there was large gathering of beauti-
fully gowned women. Refreshments
were served under the trees, The Lou
isiana party left the New Willard to-
gether, headed by Governor Sanders,
Senator Foster, Mayor Behrman. Speak
er Dupre, Lieutenant Governor Lambre-
mont and all the Louisian Congressman
The delegation, walking two by two,
stretched for more than a block. The
President and Mrs. Taft stood on
green carpet and the presentations were
made by Captain Butt, the Presidents
aid Mrs. Taft shook hands with about
a quarter of the, line, but was evidently
not good health, and was forced to re-
tire to a rustic bench The President
was cordial in his greetings of the Lou
isianians, recognized many of them and
saluted them Familiarity. Before the
party went to the White House it was
understood that there should be no men
ton made of the exposition.
A large number of Louisianans were
presented to Speaker Cannon in his
room. He gave them hearty greeting.
TO those vino called on him, Champ
Clark, the minority leader, promised to
do all in his power to assist New Or
leans in the fight.

noted principally for its shyster lawyers.
We admit that the city has its share of
them, and like the poor they are always
with us, but Texas also has good sup
ply of them not only in the cities but in
the smaller towns. While the shyster
can not be classed as a necessity, the
fact can not be questioned that he is
an American institution and exists ev-
erywhere. no State or community hay

Five Ways to Raise Ship.

There are five ways which can be
employed TO raise the warship. The
first Is with steel pontoons and
chains. but how are they going to
pass the chains under the bottom?
You can't tunnel through mud as you
can through sand IL they should sue

sides and then harness on the steel
pontoons the lifting will be unequal.
Another way would be with air
bags. One of the faults In this sys.
