Amid much confusion and cries OF

| In part that the criticism made on

ments should no go unanswered. No
man in recent years, he declared, To
the rattle. of Republican applause,

matte affairs as the present head Of

There was sequel to Mr. Wheel
er's speech later in the day, when
/ Mr.. Grosvenor secured the floor and
/ replied at length to what the Ken.
tuckian had said. He said in part:
Just at the time when the American
people were to be put to the test as
to whether they were gentlemen, it
was most unfortunate that this pro-
test should come against the recep-
ton of Prince Henry. The speech OF
the gentleman from Kentucky would
be exploited in Europe tomorrow, on
the eve of the princes departure, as
the message of the American people
to their guest.
Objects to Official Welcome.
Mr.. Wheeler interposed at this
point to say that he should gladly
welcome any gentleman from abroad
: what he objected to was the official
color given to the visit. Then, as Mr.
Grosyenor proceeded to read what he
had said critieising the president for

Mr.. Wheeler interrupted to say thai

OF bis family to the coronation.
"Oh, If 1t is simply a matter of

The Garden of Wild Flowers

May is the month when everyone wants
to make garden In the back yards of
happy homes yon VIII see the children
and shovel. or peering with rapt interest
into their open packets of seed. Now is
the time to make wild garden! wild
garden is not garden run wild; 1t is Il
place where wild flowers are cultivated.
This idea comes as a surprise to many
people. Why. didn't know that wild
flowers could be cultivated" they ex
claim. They do not stop to think that
every cultivated plant must be a wild
flower somewhere, or at least have a wild
prototype. The next question is: Are
there enough American wild flowers to
make garden of them" The answer is:
There are hosts of them" Think OF our
snowy native trees and shrubs, the flow
ering dogwood. magnolia, rhododendrop,
laurel. pinterfower. and shadbush. Re-
member a few of our charming vines; bit
tersweet. Virgins bower, wild grape,
Dutchman's pipe. and trumpetcreeper.
And when one comes to the herbs, where
The fact is that over three thousand
American plants are cultivated in the gar
dens of the world. while American nur-
series contain hundreds of wild flowers,
which We should never suspect OF be-
ing in cultivation. If moss pink, shooting
star. Virginia cowslip, and cardinal flow
er are absent from your neighborhood or
so rare that you cannot conscientiously
take them. you can buy these plants from
the nursery. and in few years work up
a colony in the home yard that will sur
prise you. There is scarcely a wild flower
so rare or precious that you cannot buy
a plant of IL for fifteen cents from spe-
cialist in Hardy herbaceous perennials.
and If you do not find the name of your
treasure in your plant catalogue, write for
it anyway, and If your dealer is a good
man, he will get it for vol. Trailing ar
butus and fringed gentiaE are the only
two important exceptions 10 this rule that
can remember. and even arbutus is sue
cessfully cultivated.
On the other hand. II wild flowers are
plentiful in your vicinity. you need not
spend cent for plants. Every plant that
is mentioned in this article. except the
hollyhock, is native to the United States
or has escaped from cultivation and run
wild. wild garden, therefore. may re-
quire less care and expense than any other
form of gardening. II may be confined to
a narrow strip OF back yard or spread
over acres of ground and include wood,
stream. and meadow. 4 fundamental idea
is to plant in groups or masses, in order
to make nature-like pictures. One may be
compelled TO start with isolated. single
plants. but tho ideal is series OF self
supporting colonies. After the seeds are
sown or the plants established, they
should require little or no care beyond

Colonel Bingham,s Soldier Friends.

Representative Harry II. Bingham Of
Pennsylvania. In addition to being the
Father of the House. is one of the best
and neatest dressers in that body. Col
onel Bingham. as he is called by his
friends. takes deep interest in all army
matters, and is ever ready to be OF SER
vice 10 the rank and file. During the
civil wa- he won his spurs on the field.
and has always a warm spot In his heart
for the veterans of 1916.
There is now pending before the House
Committee on Military Affairs a bill in
troduced by Colonel Bingham, in which
every soldier is particularly interested.
The bill, among other things, provides
that officers nov in the active service VINO
served either as commissioned officers or
enlisted men in the civil war. shall be
retired only upon their own application.
or for disability. duly ascertained and de-
clared by the legally approved proceed
ings Of a retiring board. This makes
radical change in the existing law, which
makes IL mandatory uron the President
to retire an officer when he becomes sixty
four years old. although in the discretion
of the President he may retire as Officer
after he is sixtytwo years old. II would
be the latter provision of the existing law
under which President Roosevelt could re-
tire General Miles.

Effects of Mr.. Cushman's Stand.

Since the delivery of his speech at
tacldng and criticlsing the rules Of the
House. and handling the Republican floor
leaders without gloves, Representative
Cushman's mail has percepticly increased.
He has received letters OF commentator
and congratulation from nearly every sec
tion OF the country. His speech had q
marked effect among the first term Repub
lican members. many OF whom now say
that If they are not accorded better treat
ment in the future from the Committee
on Rules they will follow Mr.. Cushman's
example and speak right out in meeting.
Since the independent member from .hc
State Of Washington fired his voiley at
the Republican leaders, word has been
passed along that his measures will re-
ceive consideration. When the House
considered the Military Academy appro-
priation bill last Saturday the only ameud
ment adopted was one carrying an ap-
preparation of $50, 900, which was offered BY
Mr.. Cushman. This was the first fruit Of
the attack on the rules Of the House.

AmericaniziRg the Porto RicdRs

Much progress is being made in
Americanizing the Porto Ricans I'M
der the administration of republican
institutions. The change from Span
ish to American methods in school
administration, and in the admins
tration of public charities, prisons,
and public works, was indeed a
healthy one.
This progress has all proceeded
along lines under the military gov
crnment of Gen. George W. Davis, the
Military Governor. Under the mill
tary government the island was ad-
ministercd on purely republican
principles. but since the advent of the
civil government there has been n
tendency to return to the dcspotic
methods of Spain.
The people are intensely anxious
to become Americanized. History
gives no similar illustration of
whole people anxious to forget their
mother tongue and the customs
which they had known from birth.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
Mr.. Lanham's Superiority Explained.

The House Committee on judiciary lis
tened to the statements of an expert
criminologist the other day. and during
the course of his argument tending to
show that crime was hereditary, the ex-
pert declared that men who were born
during the summer had greater brain ca
pacity and proved to be ADLER men than
these who were born during the winter.
That statement caused some little sur
prise. and the members of the commit
tee began 20 inquire of each other in
which month they were born. Investiga-
ticn showed that of ali the members pres
cnt. Judge Lanham, Of Texas, was the
only one who first saw daylight in the
summer. and that each of the others had
been born in the winter. Now the men,
bers declare that II is no wonder that
Judge Lanham is destined to be the next
Governor Of the Lone Star State. as he
must necessarily, possess the greatest
brain capacity OF any man on the Judi
ciary Committee.
