Senator Webb of
Tennessee and His
Adventure In War

~ NE would have to search widely
in the literature relating to
~ Americas big men, past and
present, to find a more roman
tic personality than Senator William
Robert Webb Of Tennessee.
Senator Webb just recently received
his high office, and it was fated to be
in his keeping but brief period, but
the temporary honor was well deserv-
ed and fitting reward to him. "Old
Sawney" Webb, as he is known to
thousands Of men he once taught in
school, is little short Of an idol in Ten
nessee.
This picturesque parsonage, seventy
one years old and vigorous for his ad-
vanced years, was in the thick of fight
ing when the fighting was good and
has been a dynamic force for advance
ment In his state.
He was elected to the senate for the
short term from Tennessee to fill the
seat made vacant by the death OF Rob-
ert Love Taylor.
As captain in the Confederate army
Senator Webb once had one Of the
oldest adventures that could befall a
soldier. Three days before the surren-
der Of Lee at AppomattOx, in April,
1865, Webb was held as prisoner Of
war in the stockade about Castle Will
liam on Governors island. He had
been brought north from Virginia only
one day before. Webb could look over
the stockade toward the lower end Of
Manhattan and could see the city easi-
ly. Although he had been so badly in
iured that he could not march with the
infantry and had changed to the cav
airy arm he seemed to see only the
city wharfs and not the 400 yards of
water in the channel between. After
dark he climbed the stockade and slip
ped from the wall into the bay.
The chill of early April was still in
the water In spite Of it Webb swan

Garden, now the Aquarium, aud lifted

PERFORMED
Big Duties Of Governor and
Inaugural Affairs Are
Combined.

By JAMES A ED6ERToN.

ny JArIE9 a EDSEK ION.
THE presidency of the United
States entails heavy burdens
4 and hard work long before the
term Of office actually begins.
The campaigns for the nomination and
the election usually occupy nearly
year Of organization, press work,
stump speaking and conferences. 1t
is after election, however, that the
president elects duties really begin to
approximate those he will have to as
sumo after the Inauguration. Policies
must be formulated, the cabinet and
other important officials agreed upon,
the inaugural address written, the In.
augural ceremony, parade and display
organized, many Of the details having
to be attended to by the president elect
personally, and various party questions
ironed out In the different states and
in the nation at large.
President Elect Woodrow Wilson has
not only had all of these heavy duties
to bear, but has also been governor Of
New Jersey thus giving him double
burden, either half of which would
have proved too much for most men.
Nor does this include all of his task.
New Jersey has become known as the
mother of trusts" To remove from
her this stigma and to draft and have
passed an entire body of anti-corpora-
ton laws for the state Is the voun-
tary additional work assumed by Gov
ernor Wilson. To this end he has
formulated and caused to be drafted
under his personal supervision seven
important bills which he hopes to see
enacted into law before he relinquishes
the governorship. The mere writing
Of these measures is only a small part

the unwillingness of the upper body
to hold after next Friday notifying
the house of the resolution adopted
several days ago to the effect that no
bills would be received from the lower
house after last Saturday.
McColloch urged the motion as a
matter of fairness to the house. He
said that the house members should
know Of the attitude of the senate as
early as possible in the day. in order
that the lower branch might take ac-
tion, which otherwise would be de-
layed in transmitting unwelcome bills
to the senate.
An alteration took place between
President Malarkey and Senator
Joseph during the debate on this res
olution.
Malarkey stated that he wished to
say something on the resolution.
"You are supposed to leave the
chair when you speak, are you not?"
asked Joseph.
"I know when to leave the chair
and when not to-" reported Malarkey,
growing crimson with anger.
"But l am right, am 1 not?" har-
rassed Joseph.
Senator Joseph, you are out of or
der Now be seated. I have had
enough of this foolishness from that
side Of the house."
"You are going to get more of It,
too threatened Joseph, taking his
seat.

was a special order In the senate for

Trust Question National.

AS to the bearing of the proposed leg
lslation on his national work the gov.
ernor has refused to commit himself.
When asked point blank as to whether
these bills embodied his ideas Of the
way the nation should deal with the
trusts he answered rather dryly:
"They embody my ideas Of the way
New Jersey should deal with the ques.
ton"
On this point we are free to form our
own conclusions. Practically all of
these New Jersey corporations do a ma
tional business. The abuses Of which
they are guilty are not state, but na-
tional. Because of our dual system of
government the remedies must be both

for you to suffer and endure the tor

There is no more effective remedy
