A senator undertook this week
to urge -the President to make
some appointments in order to
quiet the impatience of the office
seekers and their friends in the
senate and house of representa'
tives; whereupon the President
told him that if the office-seekers
would go away and let him alone
he would be able to do something,
but as. long as twelve or fourteen
hours of every day were occupied
in receiving calls from office-seek
ers he had no time to think over
their claims or investigate their
qualifications. He alluded to a
certain senator who had called up
on him every day for the last
three weeks urging him to ap
point a constituent to. one of the
most important offices in the ex
ecutive depaitments. M But,
said the President, “ it is imposs
ible for me to make that appoint
ment until I have an opportunity
to examine and reflect upon the
qualifications of the several can
didates.”
The President, however, contin
ues to treat everybody good na-
turedly and always listeus to what,
is said to him as if he was intense
ly intei’ested in every word. It is
quite a novelty for the senators
and representatives find a man in
the white house who acts as if he
was glad to see them when they
call. They have not experienced
any such sensation for twelve
years past.

amendment.
Less than twenty of the nearly

committee amendments were in or

the paragraph sought to be amend

and that cut off everybody, for the

The day was full of interesting
discussion. A feature was the
fight over the amendment setting
forth that the provisions of the
bill go into effect April 1st—an
amendment which can mean noth

Johnson, of Indiana, declared
that he would vote for the bill
simply because he knew that the
Senate would make a respectable
bill of it.
Vandiver’s amendment provided
that all employers must divide
with employees any surplus of net
earnings over and above eight per
cent, of the capital invested.
He quoted the Republican dec

for the benefit of the working
classes, and urged_the adoption of

went out on a point of order.
