WILSON READSv|EWss
PRESIDENT UPSETS PREcEDENTS
SINCE TIME OF JOHN
ADAMS.
CONGRESS IN JOINT SESSION
Two Bodies Meet Together and Chief
Executive Appears In Person Be.
fore Them-Thomas jefferson
Discontinued the Practice.

Washington, April s. Appearing
personally before both bodies of con
gress, assembled in joint session to-
day, President Woodrow Wilson read
his special message dealing with tar
iff problems and thus upset the prece.
dents OF over one hundred years.
Conservatives Nonplussed.
When arrangements for the extra
ordinary affair got under way yester-
day, congress gasped-that is to say,
many OF the more conservative men,
bers were completely nonplussed.
They remembered that no president
since the patron saint of the Demo
cratic party, Thomas Jefferson, had
done away with the custom upon his
advent into office, had ever dreamed
of delivering his views to the legisla-
tive body in person. The first two
presidents of the United States,
George Washington and John Adams,
both read or delivered their messages.
Jefferson, however, whose every act
has always served as a criterion for
Democrats of all ages since, explained
his discontinuance of the custom in
the following letter to congress:
Jefferson's Explanation.
''Sirs: The circumstances under
which we find ourselves at this time,
rendering inconvenient the mode here
tofore practiced of making by per-
sonal address the first communications
hot ic1o
branches, | have adopted that by
message which shall be used on all
subsequent occasions throughout the
session. In doing this / have had
principal regard to the convenience Of
the legislators, to the economy of
their time, to their relief from the en-
barrassment of immediate answers on
subjects not fully before them, and
to the benefit thence resulting to the
public affairs. Trusting that a pro-
cedure founded in these motives will
meet their appreciation, | beg through
you, sirs, to communicate the inclosed
message, with the documents accom-i
panying it, to the honorable, the Sen,
ate, and pray you accept for yourself
and them the homage of my high rel
gard and consideration
Under ordinary circumstances the
two bodies of congress meet together
only every four years, and then only.
for the purpose of canvassing the cleo
toral vote. AS this is done in wholly
perfunctory manner, the meeting in
joint session has heretofore been.
purely a matter of form. For this rea-,
son, some of the old line party leaders.
are criticising the Wilson innovation
as an undesirable change in the pro-
cedure of more than a century
The presidents friends are enthu-
siastic over the closer contact which
the president is establishing between
the executive and legislative depart
ments. They say Mr. Wilson may be-
expected to deliver all of his principal.
messages in person during his enture
of office. This, they argue, together
with his announced intentions of max
ing official visits to the floor of the.
house to confer with party leaders,
will have the desired good effect.

WOMEN KNOWN BY JEWELS
Each Article Of Adornment Is OBJ
served and Carefully Catalosued
by Society.

A woman frequently changes hel
face and always her gown, while to
change her jewels is an event calling
for chronicle, Richard Barry writes In
the New York Times.

has she done to her face"
These women, their dependents and
their intimates hold their jewels in
the affectionate regard that another
group Of women might hold their chill

each new piece of jewelry is noted
and commented on carefully. 1t I'M

After a moment she releases the
glasses with a satisfied smile. "A
any rate" she observes, they are
perfectly matched and just the right

So 1t goes. Jewels the center of at

The Queen and GAMBLING.

Though the queen is to accompany
the king to the grand national next
month, she retains her dislike for
gambling. But some years ago when
the royal party was travelling down by
rail for the derby, the late King Ed.
ward proposed a half crown sweep
stake on the race, and Princess Mary
drew a horse that had a fine chance.
Prince Arthur of Connaught having
drawn his usual blank, suggested he
should buy it from her present maj.
esty for five shillings. She declined,
and held to her chance, which romped
home an easy winner. For any one
who does not like gambling" remarks

Interesting although terrible thing.

among such unfortunates is seven
times as great as with infants who

erai Phillips, who died in the East
Hill residence, in Petersburg. in ISL
while the city was held by the British
troops. Tradition says the body WAS
buried in Blendford Cemetery. in a
corner OF the consecrated ground very
near the church and there seems no
doubt Of this, but the location Of the
grave in the lapse of years has long
been lost TO view. Some years ago.
at tho request OF British people inter
esied in the matter, an effort was made
to find the remains of General Phillips.
but without satisfactory result With
the view OF making further search,
the Daughters OF the Revolution have
made request of the cemetery commit
tee to be allowed 10 open certain
graves, with the hope that the resting
place OF the British general may be
definitely established. No doubt. If the
grave is found. there will he some
relics in IL TO identify the remains.
