GOVERNOR UTTER
gives rise to some peculiar conditions
His paper is an evening daily and is
sun shines the last day of the week
but when the sun sets his Sabbath is
over and then he may appear if he
likes at public functions A great
many of the gala events of the state
occur on Saturdays and often the
H Jackson who is a Congregationalism
If the celebrations are prolonged into
the evening the governor himself may
put in an appearance The latters
religious scruples prevented his enjoy
ing the spectacle of the inauguration
of President Roosevelt March 4 fell
this year on Saturday Little Rhody
was represented at the inauguration by
numerous officials but the chief execu
tive of the commonwealth was not
among them
Governor Edward C Stokes of New
Jersey recently made the discovery
that even the chief executive of a sov
ereign state doesnt cut much of a
figure unless he has a well stocked
pocketbook with him The governor
and a friend Dr Norton visited a
Trenton restaurant and their bill was
tiOVERXOR STOKES
about 1 The man
in charge was new
and did not know
either of them
The governor
went to the desk to
settle and discov
ered that he had not
a cent in his pocket
Dr Norton hastily
made an investiga
tion of his pockets
with a like result
The man behind the
desk frowned ominously
I am Governor Stokes explained
the governor and I will settle this
Avhen I come in again
Well Im President Roosevelt and
you pay me now replied the man
frostily
The governor and Dr Norton at
tempted further explanations but the
man in charge didnt melt On the con
trary he was rapidly losing his tem
per when one of the old waiters who
knew the governor came in and identi
fied him
Then the new manager apologized
and everybody laughed
Governor Albert B Cummins of
Iowa who has been having a little dis
cussion in the newspapers with Sec
retary Shaw of the treasury depart
ment over the question of reciprocity
is sometimes called the father of the
Iowa idea of tariff revision He Is
known for his advocacy of curbing the

trusts abolishing railroad rebates re
vising the tariff and negotiating reel- j

igan a woman of much talent and
twx About ten years ago when her
husband and some half dozen others
were candidates for one of Iowas
seats in the United States senate she
gave a harmony dinner to all the
candidates It was a unique affair
and though Mr Cummins did not win
