SEE TURNING POINT
IN WILSON'S POWER
Close Observers Say Contro-
versy Over Tolls Is Weaken
ing Grip on Congress.
By John SNURE.

Close observers of the Legislative
and political situation in Washington
are freely expressing the belief now
that from this time forth President
Wilson's grip on Congress will grow
weaker.
They see in the bitter controversy
over the proposed repeal of exemp-
ton from tolls for American ships In
the coast trade. through the Panama
canal, the most distinct symptom that
the influence of the new Executive
over the legislative branch ct the
Government has passed its zenlth.
In the canal tolls controversy not only
are a large number of the Democratic
members Of the Senate and House
strongly opposed to the position OF the
President, but such powerful factors as
Speaker Clark, Leader Underwood.
Chairman Doremus, OF tne Dem DemoCTst,e %.Sar
n, an and Senator Chamberlain are
fatty against repeal. Furthermore,
most, if not all these men. feel they
ere resoIutely backed up by the senti-
ment of their constituencies;

the Democratic body in Congress will
extend.
Real Test of Power.
President wilson's repeal bill will be
passed by the House and by the SEN
ate. But this is not the real test Of
his leadership. The real question is
how far the strenuous Use OF the Ex-
ecurivc influence to drive this bill
through Congress is scirg - .wea| cr

TAD's CHRISTMAS THEATER.
How President Lincoln Came to Grant
Sons Unique Request.

How President Lincoln Came to Grant
Sons Unique Request.
Tad Lincoln wanted q Christmas gift
such as perhaps no other presidents
son ever wanted before or since.
Father" said Tad, there is some
thing I'd like for Christmas, if you'll
give it to me-"
AS the son asked the question his
father looked at the boy over the rims
Of his spectacles in a grave way and
asked:
What is that, my son?'
II want a theater," said Tad.
"Well, my boy, don't know that l
have any objection" said the presi-
dent. ''There are plenty of them, 1
suppose, in the toy shops"
"Oh, but don't want toy theater,"
one. There isn't any reason why we
shouldn't have theater in the White
House."
Mr.. Lincoln was not at first disposed
to take the suggestion favorably, but
Tad, who was his favorite child and
at that time eleven years old, was per-
sistent, and at length the indulgent
parent yielded. This was just before
the Christmas of 1S63-too late to have
the theater ready for the holidays,
many preparations being required. But
it is. matter of history, though known
to few, that not long after the follow
ing New Years day the boys ambition
was realized, a room on the second
floor of the executive mansion being
set aside for the purpose and a stage
erected, with gas footlights and simple
scenery.

HOLLY FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Southern Bellies and Beaus Brought II
by Stasecoach.

Before railways coaches changed
horses at Alexandria and at the capi-
tai, and loads of young bellies and
beaus went to the Christmas parties in
Washington, carrying to the president
and his family holly and trailing pine
from their southern homes.
President Buchanan, with Miss Lane,
1.-The golden beauty of the White
House." gave grand fetes to the young
people of the capital in 1859 on
Christmas eve. The maidens wore en-
pire gowns and high combs. To each
guest Miss Lane gave sprig of holly
berries as a souvenir
Perhaps the most attractive event of
President Johnson's administration
was the Christmas party for children
given to please his nephews and nieces
and their friends. A platform stood in
the center of the east room, ON which
sat the Marine band. Overhead were
festooned silllen flags, and flowers
bloomed everywhere. 1t was a fairy
land of butterfly coloring-gold and
scarlet sashes, stockings and pretty
slippers.

Mr.. eIumm on Christmas.

My old friend Mr.. Glumm declares
That holidays are all a sell;
They interfere with our affairs
And cost lot of cash as we'll.
And yet his words cannot provoke
My envy for his boarded sum.
I'd rather find myself dead broke
Than view the world like Mr. Glumm.
He VOWS that festival events
Are but rehearsals for i'll health.
He tastes no pleasant condiments
Unless. perchance, tits done by stealth
But e'en dyspepsia cannot make
My views of life to his succumb.
I'd rather have a stomach ache
Than nurse a crouch like Mr.. Glumm.

FRIENDS TRIED
AND TRUE

THE little dog dropped what
l. tail he had,
The broken doll tainted
away,
And the poor Teddy bear was
filled with despair
When the new doll came to stay.
"Oh, have you forgotten old
friends?" they cried,
But the little girl didn't hear
AS she cuddled with JOY her new
found toy
And sang in its waxen ear.

THEY sNUaGnED UP CLOSE TO HER
BREAST.
RUT the days flew BY and she
u missed her friends,
Though she cherished the
new love too.
But the waxen girl with the Aaxen
curl
Played none of the games they
knew.
So she hunted around till she found
them all,
And they snuggled up close to
her breast,
And never a word Of reproach was
heard
AS she whispered, "Old friends
are best"

To Investigate Hookworm.
Recently the state commissioner of
health has been able to interest the
Rockefeller sanitarN commission in
the hooHworm in Oklahoma. 1t is
possible that they will cooperate with
the state commissioner of health IN
making a hookworm survey of the
state for the purpose of ascertaining
whether hookworm is present to any
extent in oklahoma This state is in
the latitude and longitude where the
hookworm is found, but for the rea-
son that We are a new state and one
that has only been recently settled,
most of our population having become
domicled in Oklahoma within the last
% years, it is hardly possible that this
disease. which comes from soil pol
luton to a great extent, will show
anything like the percentage that has
been found in our neighboring states
in the same latitude and longitude.
1t is possible that it will be found
among those who were afflicted with
this disease before they immigrated
to Oklahoma.
If this disease is found in Oklaho-
ma, and our virgin soil is being pol
luted, it will then present a problem
