He Is Especially Distressed by the Suggest

COngreSsmen Who Dined on Presidents
Train Make Painful Comments

Washington, May 27-President
Taft today sent TO Chairman Tawney
of the house committee on appropria.
tons, letter expressing deep resent
nent az the criticisms passed by Dem
ocrats in the house debate yesterday
on the travelling expenses OF the Pres
ident
The President says he is especially
distressed by the Suggested reflec-
tion on Southern hospitality. The
Presidents letter follows:
White House, Washington, May "a,
19l0.-My Dear Mr.. TawDey:
Il am deeply grieyed over the phase
which the discussion Of the appltca-
ton for tho travelling expenses Of the
President took yesterday. I think it
is a legitimate argument in favor OF
such an appropriation that congress-
men and many others press the ac-
ceptance of Invitations TO visit their
sections and districts, because the ur-
gency of such requests Indicates the
opinion on the part OF the people that
one OF the duties OF the President is
10 visit the people In their homes.
But the intimatlon or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman
OF the Presidents invitation 10 travel
on the train within their respectlvS
districts or states was a reason why
they should not vote their free opin.
ion on the question OF such an ap-
preparation is TO me most painful
one.
In travelling on the train they were
not receiving my hospitality-they
were only making little more elab
crate the cordial welcome which they
wished to give.
The feature OF the discussion yes
! terday. which was especially distress
ing TO me. was a suggested reflection
on Southern hospitality. Tho intima
tion that somewhere In the South
board was charged has no foundation
in fact, and never heard IL intlmated
until 1 saw it in this mornings pa
per.
Tn all my experience. and | have
enjoyed the hospitality of many sec
tloDS and many countries OF the
world. | never had a more cordial
generous. open and lavish welcome
! than I had In The Southern States
during my trip. and the slightest hini
that puts me In the attitude of a crit
ic OF that hospitality gives me great
pain.
Il am going TO take the liberty oI
making this letter TO YOU public Very
sincerely Yours (signcd). William II

"Jeffrios does not need old fellows
like Corbett and Choynski In his

"Oh. that depends on the man Az
