“Goodness gracious! I must have been dozing!”
President Taft sits in a rocking chair, tangled in yarn from balls labeled “Conservation, Rail Road Legislation, Postal Savings Tax, Income Tax, [and] Corporation Tax” that have fallen onto the floor and are the playthings of three cats labeled “The House, Senate, [and] The Cabinet” and a dog labeled “The Courts.” One ball of yarn labeled “My Policies” remains in a box shaped like the U.S. Capitol. Theodore Roosevelt is watching, disapprovingly, from a window on the side of the room.
