CHARLES A. Lindbergh of Minnesota when
he does not Introduce a resolution or two
Not that Representative Lindbergh ever

do SO, but he goes through all the forms.
parliamentary and otherwise of carrying
on legislation.
Representative Lindbergh is a member
of the Glass currency committee. which
has charge of the drafting of the new cur
| rency bill which is now causing so much
comment throughout the country Every
time the committee announces that 1t has
accomplished something out comes Repre-
sentative Lindbergh with a yelp. and i'm
mediately he prepares and introduced an
other one of his famous resolution-whch
doesn't pass.
IL Is plain that Representative Lind
bergh is not in harmony with the Glass
committee about anything whatsoever.
and he takes every occasion to let that
fact be known
Lindbergh went into the committee on
banking and currency with some very
pronounced ideas on currency legislation
that he had conceived himself while he
was not writing resolutions, and he has
not only retained these ideas, but has
placed them under hothouse window
and forced them into succulent maturity
HIS most recent outburst. which is nothing
more. e.nor less than an expression of his in
dividual ideas, is in the form of reso-
luton demanding an investigation of the
theory ON which the Glass committee is
writing the currency bill. In the pream-
Die OF this remarkable resolution, Repre-
sentative Lindbergh takes the public into
his confidence and let's it be understood
that he is entirely out of whack with the
Glass committee and the secretive meth
ods of that body and condemns ."closed
door meetings in no uncertain terms.
Long before Mr.. Lindbergh ever thought

ideas of his, and simply had to give ex-

Wilson Gets Remarkable Letter

says: Il should worry"
Wilson Gets Remarkable Letter
President Wilson received a day or SO
ago one of the most remarkable letters
probably ever received by a President of
the United States. II was written by Isaac
Lawrence, president of the American
Tariff Reform league of New York, and
contains something like 10000 words This
is about 1s newspaper columns. Mr.. An
drews starts out by saying that 4 desire
to assure you of the continued loyal sup
port of the league in your tariff reform
administration. | wish you to feel conf
dent that during The remainder of my four
years term as president, ending in Au-
gust, 1916, that | will keep the league in
line with your tariff reform policy"
He then proceeds to tell the President
In great detail just how to ruin the gov
eminent. If President Wilson desires at
any future time to indulge in Tight read
ing he should keep this letter by him for
it will come in handy.
He predicts that Taft, Roosevelt and
Wilson will again be the candidates for
the presidency in 1916, and advises the
President to keep an eye on Roosevelt
or else he will run away with all the pro-
gressive democratic ideas and be elected
President in 1916, with Wilson running
third. OF course a good way for the
President to avoid such a calamity is to
follow the advice given him in the 10000
word letter.
He recommends Charley Murphy of
Tammany for place in the Wilson cab
met and suggests at the first vacancy
that MIR. Murphy be appointed promptly.
He says that such an appointment would
soiid1fy the party in the whole coun-
try. He says Murphy would be worth his
weight in gold to the President
He takes occasion to reproduce an ar
ticle which appeared in the Brooklyn
Eagle, about himself, which says that ne
is "a years of age, "a man with a remark
able career and a remarkable history
strongly equipped mentally and physically
and In full possession of his unusual fac
ulties," and that he was "a tariff re-

he was a candidate for governor of
Rhode Island.
