House today by appointment to pay his
respects to President Wilson and { re-
port progress on the work his COM
mission is doing. Senator Cullom. as
every one calls him, has been int the habit
of dropping in at the White House for
forty-eight years.
He came to Washington as a repre-
sentative in Congress In 1885, his first
call OF respect having been on President
Lincoln, and he has had an intimate ac-
quaintance with all of the ten Presi-
dents since that time-Johnson, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland. Har-
