PRESIDENT WILL
ADDRESS THE HOUSE
Will Deliver His Message at the Can
ital, Breaking the Tradition of
a Century.

WASHINGTON, April president
Wilson, setting aside precedents of
more than a century, will appear in the
halls of Congress tomorrow TO deliver
his first legislative message in person.
He announced to Democratic congree.
sional leaders last night that he would
go to the floor of the House when it
convened tomorrow, and there give that
body his views on the tariff. This de-
cision of the president evoked much
comment among the congressional lead
ers. He will be the first president of
the United States to appear officially
before either branch of Congress in. de-
Lucrative session since John Adams in
the first few years of the last century.
An attempt was made exactly 100 wears
ago, in 1913. TO revive the custom. but
President Madison declined an invita-
tion to discuss foreign relations with
the Senate. Since then no president has
oven suggested Joining in the delibcra-
tions of Congress.
The president believes that he can
get in closer touch with the members
of both houses of Congress by per
sonally expressing his views to them.
In addition to his official visits to the
floor of the House, which will become
4 matter Of White House policy, the
president will take advantage OF these
visits to hold conferences with the par
ty leaders in Congress. 1t was suguest-
ed last night that the Senate might 90
over to the House while the president
read his message. such proposal is
under consideration hv Congressional

Robert White was born in Ayrshire,
Scotland, Oct. l5, 1888. and died at his

Scotland, with his mother and two

After their marriage he moved with
his wife to Kingston, Ont. Canada.
where two Of their children were born.
From thence they removed to Iroquoise

OF their children came into their happy
home.
After long residence in Illinois they
removed with their family to Phillips

his passing away last Saturday evening
He Joined the army at the second call
for soldiers by Lincoln and served until
he was honorably discharged because

Bro. White was destined to be suffer-

he could suffer patiently for his Lords
sake. He was an honored member Of
the Holyoke Post Of the G. A. r. and
