fg THE NATIONAL OFFICIALS. Httv /i koiin Visits Washington and WT rites of Wilson and Otiier m Democrats, August Kclin in News ana courier. Columbia, August 16.?It was my privilege to spend a couple of,days in Washington this week. The topics ^ that are most discussed are the V tariff, the currency legislation, the & Mexican situation, and the distribuW tion of funds oy McAdoo. Incidental ly, there is general commendation and praise of President Wilson and his methods. There seems to be general agreement that President Wil- | son is making good, and whatever cri- j ^ ticism might be suggested is always Jf with the understanding that it may B be error of judgment, but the presif dent is always given credit, which is; || most important in political life of be- J W ing absolutely honest. A great many W people with whom I talked were emphatic in the declaration that Presf ident Wilson is the first representa- j tive of the people who has been in ! the White Houes for a great many years, and that he is going to accom- ; L plish actual results. The conspicuous figures of the cabifc net appear to b? Mr. McAdoo and our mm David F Houston. The opinion r seems to be that Secretary Bryan, j whoso ability is recognized, is handicapped in the matter of initiative by bis constant desire to be loyal to Mr. Wilson, and i: is probably on this account that particular stress is being given to the work of Secretary McAdoo and Mr. Houston. A great many with whom I talked said that Daniels and Secretary Burleson were two of ^ the big men in the cabinet and were blazing new paths. Tillman in Good Health. rl saw a great deal of Senator Tillman and presume that most of the L people in South Carolina will be interested in his physical condition. I saw him two years ago, when he ! could -hardly move a/bout and when it was apparently an effort for him to talk. Frankly, L never expected to see Senator Tillman as active and in as good physical condition as he is today. I walked with him one day from the capitol towards his hotel, a disl tance of a mile, which would have I been an absolute dream to him two j years ago. He is just as keen and ac- j +ivo in his wnrk as ever. He is not i *" ~ 1 making speeches, but he is keeping three stenographers busy writing letters that -he dictates and on the jump attending to things that he wishes to have done for his constituents. Senator Tillman is as important a factor kin the Senate as he has ever been,; and it does not take long to see that * ?" ^ *** Viio ATt'C r every one is careiui iv gcc, iii? mcho and co-operation. Senator Tillman celebrated his sixty-sixth birthday while I was in Washington and both he and Mrs. Tillman were made very happy ac the receipt of many letters of congratulation and particularly those that came from' each of his children. Senator Till- 1 ^ man attributes his improv?d physical ; condition to his methodical life as I well as to his light diet and exercise, | ' somewhat in the nature of calisthe( nics, about which considerable has al^ ready been written. For breakfast he never eats anything except a plate of fruit, in season, without cereals or anything other than a glass of hot water. He eats nothing from breakfast until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, ! which is his chief meal. Mrs. Till- j man always goes to the capitol and they dine together in the senatorial1 dining room. His dinner is made up entirely of vegetables. He never eats red meats. Before bed time he gen- | erally eats a cake of chocolate milk and between meajs sips hot water, j Senator Tillman has no idea when j congress will adjourn, but insists that 1 the democrats are going to stick to * i President Wilson and co-operate with < him in carrying out his policies, re- ( gardless of time or trouble. t CmtfVi onrJ fh<k Tariff. 0?iitJi u u vi ukv am*.... | I had a talk with Senator Smith. He is keenly alive to the tariff situa- c tion, and when I talked with him it i was his purpose to address the sen- i at* particularly with reference to the i cotton schedule and the relationship 1 of the tariff to modern inventions, t He is keeping in constant touch with t the tariff as well as the currency leg- ( islation, and has had some of his 11 r viewsfcwith reference to this latter . c situation favorably received by those j in charge of the legislation. He is \ not bothering himself about his re- t election and is confident. There was a good deal of comment ? on the fight that Representative Rags-.1 dale was making to 'have this curren- c . cy bill ^mended with regard to more i liberality in the recognition of cotton r - and other crops as a basis of credit, j a and his fight seems to have been quite ! i successful. The fine point-* that Repre- i W sentative Ragsdale seems to have i moHp was that he was coins: to fight t J -U-IW.VI v. - w _ , it out in the caucus and win there if j ^ possible, but if he could not win he I would abide by the result of the cau- ] cus.
