AFTER-DINNER POLITICS.
Those Plebeian Wooden Stockings.
BY DIR. 4. J. EDWARDS.

ny bhs f. Dc ED Ahoes
william H Seward, Secretary OF State
under President Lincoln, was for years
warm personal friend Of Charles Fran
els Adams. 1t was upon Stewards recon-
mendation that President Lincoln nomi-
mated Mr.. Adams as our Minister TO the
Court Of st. James. Many times Presi-
dent Lincoln spoke with qualification OF
the manner in which Mr. Adams dis
charged his diplomatic duties, especially
In view OF the fact that at times we were
perilously near war with Great Britain.
Curiously enough, Mr.. Adams did not
at least until some years after the war
was ended-either understand or appre-
ciate President Lincoln. He admitted
as much as that to Mr.. Seward. who, ac-
cording to his son, Frederick W. Seward,
was much amused by a remark M
Adams made 70 him after Seward and
Adams returned 70 the State Department,
Immediately following a visit 10 Presi-
dent Lincoln.
What particularly annoyed Mr.. Adams
at this meeting with the President was
the fact that Lincoln appeared al the
Interview wearing carpet slippers and old
fashioned home knitted wool stockings
He spoke OF this to Mr.. Seward who
gravely assured Mr.. Adams that It took
time for a President 20 learn new Gus
toms and to abandon solecisms.
Years afterward, Mr.. Adams became
warm supporter Of Samuel J. Tilden
for the Presidency. Mr.. Tilden was a
man who in demeanor. in solemn dig
nifty, in freedom from jest and in the
capacity to take himself very seri-
Ously. was sure to appeal TO Mr..
Adams. In some respects the mental
| characteristics Of both these men were
similar. Nevertheless, had Mr.. Adams
seen Governor Tilden as 1 did upon
| one occasion he might have been as
seriously annoyed as he was when he
observed that President Lincoln wore
| carpet slippers and old-fashioned
woollen stockings.
In September, 1877, Governor Tilden
returned from his summer so3ourn in
Europe. The day was cold and he
| caused a wood fire to be built upon
| the hearth Of his study. I was TO
spend an hour with him that after
noon and he had the servant. draw
armchairs up within easy reach Of the
fender. Unlike Lincoln, Governor TIL
den wore no slippers. He was in his
stocking feet and he toasted his feet
in front OF the fire. I observed that
same kind as those worn by Lincoln
when Mr.. Adams first met him at the
White House, for they were Of gray
wool and were evidently homemade.
It may have been fortunate Mr. Adams
did not sit with Mr.. Tilden upon that
occa sion. He should have had no OBJ
| lection TO American garments made
| from American wool. for his grand
father was inaugurated as President
wearing q suit made by American tai
| lors, from American cloth, Of which
| wool was the fabric.

workers were willing to give Mr. Wilson credit
for his action in the eighthour law for the rail-
road employees, they have been trying for this
day at least fifteen years and the brotherhoods
asked for it only year ago" How are these
men going to vote? Are they going to believe
that it was not might and political expediency
that spelled success for the tranmen?
Altogether the straw vote is instructive, but
it is in sense final. 1t serves as barometer
to point which way labor is leaning, but some
thing more convincing is needed before the
election. in November becomes walkover for
any candidate.

NEWSPAPER VIEWS ON
MR.. CALDER'S VICTORY

Philadelphia Public Ledger-"The de-
reat Of 9r. Bacon by Mr Calder in the
New York Republican primaries is at
once discouragtng and encouraging. 1t
is discoura ging because the superior fit
ness of Mr.. Bacon to serve in the United
States Senate is beyond dispute.
On the other hand. there is encourage
ment In the fact that Mr.. Bacon enter
ing the contest long after the ways had
been creased for his opponent, polled so
large a vote that the result was for
time in doubt
Buffalo Inquirer-"The nomination Of
William NJ Calder for the United States
Senate on the Republican ticket must be
bitter pill for the C. o. P. followers in
Erie County. Robert Bacon polled twice
as many votes in this county as Calder
and the figures cause much speculation
because OF BacOn's oUtspoken attitude
against Germany"
Buffalo CommerciaI-''Mr. Bacon would
have conferred distinction upon the Uni
ted states Senate As It turns out, the
Senate will confer distinction upon Mr..
Calder in the very probable event Of his
| election
Troy Record-'"The remarkable run
Mr.. Bacon made proves beyond cavil that
ability has an appeal to the average
voter; that medioCrity. even when sup
ported by perfect organization, Is recoF-
nized by the public, and that courage can
win votes more readily than political
machinery can hold them.

Seen and Heard by George Miner.


He was a clerk
In an express office
And got ten dollars week
And didn't earn it
And knew it.
And then the United States government
Put upon sale
To the highest bidder
Philippine bonds,
And Abe Schwartz
Had in his jeans
Exactly one whole cigarette
Half of another one,
Part of lead pencil
And a postage stamp
He had swiped
From the express company's mail.
He made bid
And he got a wad of bonds
Without putting up any money.
He didn't have it then.
He didn't like his name
Schwartz means black in English
So when he bid
He didn't wear false whiskers,
But he wore false name
He called himself White
And he took those bonds
To Russell Sage
And that generous fnancer
Paid him two hundred thousand dollars profit
And Able Schwartz
Alias Abe White
Was a rich man.
He resigned
His ten-dolar-a-week sob
And was able
To call the bartenders
At the Waldorf
By their first names.
Two hundred thousand dollars
Kept Broadway illuminated
For some years.
Then Abe White
Went more or less to hades,
But he didn't stay there.
Somebody showed him a map
And pointed out the only way
To get cooled off
Was to go to Alaska.
He did it.
He found
That it was much easier
To scrape up sands on the seashore
With gold in them
Than to get out
And swing a pick
In the ice-clad rocks
He scraped the sands
With machinery
And came galloping back
To gay old Seattle
With his jeans
Breaking out at their seams
Because he was so loaded
With gold dust
And ambition.
The seams broke,
The gold dust scattered,
Abe White pretty nearly got into jail
And time passed.
The scene changes.
New York again.
Maybe by the bunkers-
don't know.
Anyway
Lodging houses,
European war,
Ammunition contracts,
Cattle,

| Money some more
| Lots of it.

District bill as being drawn in opposi-
ton to the letter Of the joint committees

preparations committee:
AS member OF the committee on-ap-
preparations. 1t might be assumed that
l would be in favor of extending the jur-
1sdiction OF the committee in this way.
But the practice is vicious. and am as
much opposed to it when 1t Is offered by
committee Of which 1 am a member as
when 1t is offered by any other committee.
FURTHER than that, not only has the
committee on appropriations assumed the
right to legislate, but in very important
matter, to wit. in regard to the half-and-
half plan, 1t has not proposed legislation
In harmony with either the letter or the
spirit OF the findings of the joint COM
mittee which the House and Senate ap-
pointed for the purpose of investigating
these matters.
First. 1t has proposed legislation con-
trary to the letter of the recommends

Defends Committee Action.

Representative Rainey of Illinois. a
member of the joint select committee
indicated that he favored the manner in
which the District bill is drawn:
I'VE heard everybody who wanted to
be heard" he said. in speaking of the
hearings before the joint select COM
mittee. Citizens of Washington are
not complaining about taxation. They
are not insisting that they are assessed
too high, and yet under the present
assessments they will contribute more
for public purposes than ever before
nearly 100000 more.
THAT contribution will occur during
the fiscal year 1917. They will con-
tribute during that year over $S.o0o,-
900 for public purposes. Now, if the
government of the United States
matched dollar for dollar this year the
Washington it would make a total of
over s16,000,000 to be expended here in
this Capital city. over s1,O00,O00 more
than the Commissioners submitted es-
Inmates for. Now, what other course
can be pursued under these circum-
half system of contributions which has
prevailed in the management of Dis
trict affairs from 1878 down to the
present time?
This bill appropriates about as much
for the District of Columbia as the last
s11. e31 900 and the last bill appropriated
s11 $4,000. 1t is going to cost just as
much to run the District of Columbia dur
Ing the next fiscal year as it has cost
during the present fiscal year, except that
the people who live here contribute more
versed under the present system at any
time"
