r.. NJ. Jetton.
The following is taken from The
Charlotte Observer ofIMonday:
That President Wilson is making
good-pre-eminentl so-and 1Isplay
ing wonderful judgment and tact In
the handling OF men and measures
that have so far eventuated. was the
confident assertion of Senator John
Sharp Williams OF Mississippi who
spent yesterday in Charlotte. Sem
ator Williams had come down from
Washington to testify to the good
tame and character OF Mrs. Robert
Monroe Jetton, having known the
family In this native State for many
years. To an Observer man who cali
ed to pay his respects, Senator Will
liams talked most delightfully."- OF the
proceedings in Washington, going out
or his way to speak fine tributes to
North Carolina's representatives in
washington, expressing admiration
for Senator Simmons diligents atten-
ton and control of those matters at
tending and growing out of the great
tarin struggle and also speaking
pleasantly of Senator Overman, the
representative of the western half
OF the State in the upper chamber
of the National body. Various and
sundry other matters were touched
upon such as Senator Cores late
trouble and it's fortunate and proper
termination; episodes of Mississippi
political life in which numerous
stories of Private John Allen were
recounted and also topics of National
| consideration.
IS MAKING GOOD.
"The Administration is more than
making good" decleared Senator Will
liams, "and President Wilson is more
and more impressing himself upon
those who come in contact with him
as statesman of judgment and tact,
much more so than anyone expected
at time he was inducted into Office.
His discriminating judgment has been
demonstrated on numerous occasions
and the way In which he has handled
situations, to say nothing of men, has
been nothing short or marvellous con-
sidering the fact that the President
was comparatively new to the life.
l cannot say more than that the
President and the Administration is
commencing itself to the sober
thought and judgment of the people
of the country.
What about the Senator" Senator
Williams was asked.
"The Senate is also making good ~
replied he smilingly.
With this there was an interesting
discussion of the relative customs and
conditions OF the two branches of the
National assembly.
IN THE HOUSE.
"The House is more like the House
Of Commons in England" stated Sen
of
and its vagaries and we betide the
unfortunate members who eassys TO
grow eloquent when the House is not
in humor for eloquence. Immedi-
ately the cloak rooms become popu-
lated and the chamber corresponding
ly deserted and the poor Represent
ative is left to speak to empty seats
and bare walls, with only one or two
OF his associates here and there and
the House stenographers about the
only ones really listening
THE Senate is of course the more
dignffied and formal body correspond
Ing of course, though not 80 much
so as in the other case, to the upper
chamber OF the British Parliament.
II Senator desires to be funny and
Will so state. then his associates will
listen and laugh In keeping with the
announced tenor of his remarks.
"The House is the great reyeler'
much more co than any other body
OF my knowledge IN the world The
Representative quickly finds his
plane. The members will usually
listen to the first speech OF a Cong
ressman and IL het interests them on
that occasion they will listen 20 his
second and so on, until he establishes
himself I'm their regard. II the Rep
resentatiye fails on his frst effort, IL
is a long and laborious process, re-
gaining his place.
