An Interesting illustration of this
latter faculty." says MIR. Dobblns,
happened in 1916 when at the per-
sonal request of President Wilson,
he became the sole commissioner of
the United States to the national
exposition of Panama. Although
the United States government had
obligated itself to participate in this
exposition. congress attempted to
handicap this participation by linn
ting the appropriation to a very
small amount. The President put
the case up to futile with the re-
quest hat he go to Panama and
handle this delicate situation which
so involved the relationship of the
two countries. The result Of his
participation is summed up in the
appreciation of Secretary of State
Lansing in a letter to Commissioner
futile. A paragraph reads: The
Department desires to convey to
you an expression of its high APP
probation of the tact. discretion and
good judgment you have shown in
your relations with the Panama
government and people"
Mr.. Dobbins goes on 10 say hat
President Porris of Panama wrote
this to the commissioner: The sue
cess of our affair is due entirely to
your valuable cooperation and that
of your government The Ameri-
can minister to Panama, William j.
Price, reported TO the State Depart
ment that Commissioner futile was
entitled TO the highest credit and
he wished to bear witness to
his t~actfulness, thoroughness and
excellent good sense and ability
These expressions came at the end
of a delicate international mission.
another evidence of this combi-
nation of sound business ability AMI
craftsmanship is presented by his
record of four years in congress"
declares Mr.. Dobbins. Zone of the
Interesting instances in connection
with this service was the great show
OF regret made by the present Secre-
t~... w.. T1Lx w yyaaEe than
member of the House of Represen-
tatives. upon Mr.. Tuttle's defeat for
his third consecutive term. He was
4 member of the important post
office committee and was the per-
sonal selection of the speaker of the
House to represent the House on
the Joint commission to adjust the
compensation of railroads for carry
ing the mails. Former Senator JON
atnan Bourne, present publicity di-
rector for the Republican national
committee, was the chairman of the
commission, and it was one of the
most important business PROPOSE
lions before congress at that time.
A great part of the actual work of
this commission was left to Mr..
futile because he was a practical
business man. Senator Bankead, of
Alabama, used to sum up the situa-
ton when he said, What suits Tut
tie suits me- In other words, the
biggest politicians of the country
left the practical business details To
this New Jersey congressman.
"Still another evidence of his Ca
pacity is shown by his sponsorship
of the futile standard barrel bill,
passed by the 1914 congress. This
was the first act of congress actual
ly fixing a national standard of
weights and measures, and elimi-
the dishonesty of fraudulent
1t paved the way and
the precedent for all the useful
and practical legislation that follow
ed along this line.
governor Edge, in. 1918, named
Commissioner futile as a member
of the board of conservation AMI
development, a board hat is
charged with some of the most i'm
portant work of the state. His APP
pointment as commissioner of bank
ing and insurance was made by
Governor Edwards last year.
"Of all the positions in the state
service that of banking and insur-

highest degree of executive ability,
