Jerry A. Mathews, senate por"f]
eapondeut of the New York Sun in ,
i personal letter to Senator P.'Mi,
Simmons, pays him* the following I,
:iigh tribute which doubtless wlL,,
>e read with pride by every citl j
ten of North Carolina, Mr. Math- |
sws' letter follows:
Dear Senator Simmons:
I cannot let this, opportunity pass
ylthout writing a word to expres*
;he fooling of profound and" lastfivg
>bligation that the Washington Bu->
eau of The Sun feels to you for tlu
fac.lities that ycu as chairman o. ,
the great committee on tinancc. af.
Corded to the newspapermen in re- j
porting the progress of the tarift ,
bill. You took the public into youij,
confluence at every step, through1
Che press.
I do not feel, now that It is over
to recall the long vigils outside 01 ,
the committee room, and when 1
was over and you were tired ant'
often ill, you did not turn awaj
from us but were at all times pa
tlent and obliging. I do not recal
Df the three tariff bills that passed 4
since I 't-ame here to do newspapei
work, a single case when we were
treated geneously. My associates
with whom I have talked are equally
geneorusly. My associates with
lenlsble of their obligations to you
We can never forget your kindness
And concluding let me say that 1
never knew a tariff bill or any
ither important piece of legislation
bandied so successfully In the senate.
You never lost a battle. It is
ilmost incredible that on 117 scpa
rate votes in. the senate on amendments,
you won every time with o ,
party majority to rely on so narrow ,
that It might well have caused you
anxiety. Nor do I now recall ever
to have witnessed the Bpontaneouf ,
recognition by the minority of th< ,
generous tretatment accorded them
by the majority leader in a tarifl
Pill session, aa it was voiced by Senator
Oallinger republican leader
In hla resolution franking "you, 1
think It was nuprecedtnted. Yov
bave been a quiet , modest unobtrusive
man in the senate. But your
deeds will be your monument.
Your grateful friend,
JBRRY A. MATHEWS,
Senate Cor. New York Sun
