Is it the business of congress
to legislate for the interests of the
whole people. or only to do what
Mckinley thinks will be beneficial
to him and to the republican party?
Such a question would seem to
admit of but one answer. Yet,
Mckinley is seeking the aid of
Gar Reed and Mr.. Cannon, chair
man of the house committee on
appropriations, to prevent the
house legislating for the whole
people. Because the Dingley
tariff law has failed to provide the
money needed to properly carry
on the government, and because
he does not dare to tell congress
so and ask for additional tariff
Legislation to furnish more
revenue, Mckinley wants to de-
prive the people who pay the heavy
taxes called for by the Dingley
tariff of privileges to which they
are clearly entitled. If Reed
entersthe deal-has already done
so-no public building bill, no
no matter how urgent the need,
will be allowed to 60 through the
house; no bill providing for the
payment of any private claim
against the government, no matter
how just it is nor how much those
to whom the money is due
may be suffering, will be
allowed to pass, and no river and
harbor appropriation will be pass
ed. Gear Reed may bite off more
than he can chew, if he attempts
to carry out these ideas. Neither
he nor Mckinley will be as strong
at this session as they were at the
extra session; their favors have
mostly been distributed. It is
we'll known chat failure to get
through a public building bill for
his district has cost many repres-
entatives their seats, and next
year the representatives will all be
passed on by their constituents.
There has been much talk which
came to nothing about revolt
against Reed by the house, but in
this case there is likely to be a
sure enough revolt, if he isn't
careful, and successful one, too.
A scrapping match between two
prominent w. Va. republicans, Mr..
F. A. Scott, who is a member of
the Republican National Commit
tee, and who expects to become
commissioner of internal revenue

doubt of democratic majority in
the next legislature. Meanwhile
Golf and Scott are preparing to
fight each other. They we're both

Melba's first singing teacher, died at Melbourne
not long ago. He was Pietro Cecchi, and was at
one time a well-known operate tenor. He was
a native OF Rome, studied architecture, and was
in the service of Pope Plus TX. during the early
days of his career. He became involved in the
revolutionary troubles OF 1913, and as he was
then obliged to leave Rome he determined to see
what he could accomplish on the operate stage.
His musical career was successful, and after
travelling through most OF the large Italian
cities he sang in this country and in London.
About twenty-five years ago he settled In Mel

He was Nine. Melba's instructor when she

went to Paris to see what opportunities she
could find in Europe. Nevertheless. Nine.

the credit for her skill In singing, but fur
