Nomination Held Up by a Girl.

story hangs on the nomination of D.
3. Gorham for postmaster of Shawano
Wis. that was sent TO the Senate yes
| terday by Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is the case
of a nomination being held up for two
weeks or more by the efforts Of one
end, however.
Mr.. Gorham was Mr.. ROOsevelts first
choice for the position. He had been Sc
lected and the nomination was ready to
be sent to the Senate two weeks ago
when a letter in the White House mail
stopped it. The letter was a long one,
but It's pith was in the statement that
Mr.. Gorham had been heard to state re-
Gently that the appointment of Mr..
Payne as Postmaster General was "a
shame" The letter was signed IF. Fri
day." and no address was enclosed.
Mr. Roosevelt is said TO have been very
much annoyed by the anonymous com
munication. He instructed the nomina-
tion clerks not to send Mr.. Gorham' S
name up 10 the Capitol and began an in
vestigatiOn.
The letter was traced to its source,
who proved to be the young daughter of
the present postmaster of Shawano. IL
has not been developed whether Mr.. Cor
ham really did make the statement derog-
atory to Mr.. Payne credited to him, but
that was not considered necessary under
the circumstances.

hergrin" was rendered by Mr. Edward Fe-
we'll. The brides dress was of white silk

Mississippi and Bryan.


The action of the Legislature OF ny
State in passing a resolution that pra.e
tically repudiates Bryan and his doctrine :
is not surprise to me-" said Mr.. W /
Caruthers, of Vicksburg Miss, at the
Raleigh.
The truth is that this resolution only
voiced what our people have been think
ing ever since the campaign of 1900 w,
have grown weary of adherence to lead
ers who led US only to defeat. The idea
of political alliance between the South
and West was never anything but de-
lusion. The cotton belt had but little IN
common with Nebraska. The South has
always looked to the East. and New York
in particular, for capital in the develop
ment of the resources and the moving OF
its crops. AS a political ally the impe-
rial State of New York is worth the e',-
tire West. for New York is naturally
Democrat and the West is surely Re-
publican except at rare intervals. when
some wave of Populism may effect a
temporary change.
Il think that now that one OF the
strongest Democratic States in the Union
has declared in favor OF renouncing
Bryanism and cleaving TO our old-time
Eastern friends, others will not be
slow 10 follow Mississippi's example
The result will be the nomination. of

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
War on River and Harbor Bill.


Notwithstanding that the river and
harbor appropriation bill has not yet
been reported to the House. mutterings OF
discomfort have begun 10 rumble in the
Senate wing of the Capitol, which threat
en- rough passage for Mr.. Burton's bill
when it reaches that body. And even In
the House certain State delegations are
threatening to make all kinds of trouble
for the amiable chairman of the River
and Harbor Committee. The publication
last Sunday morning of the appropria-
tions recommended by the committee for
the improvement of rivers and harbors
has caused no end of talk, and movements
amendments at least several million dol
lars. Perhaps the most disappointed mem
bers in the House and Senate are those
Of the North Carolina delegation. The
Tar Heel State fares very poorly. in
deed Senators Simmons and Pritchard
turn up their noses at the manner in
which the River and Earbor Committee
has treated North Carolina in the dis
tributiOn Of the appropriations. Senator
Simmons is a fighter, and ne has already
served notice that unless North Carolina
is better provided for by the House the
river and harbor bill will hold the atten-
tioG of the Senate for a few weeks, to
say the least. And Senator Pritchard will
be on hand, too. to tell what he thinks
of the discrimination.

Held Up in the Senate.

Just about two weeks ago the House. by
unanimous vote passed joint resolu-
tion proposing an amendment TO the Con-
stitution providing for the election of
United States Senators by the direct vote
of the people. The resolution is now
with the Senate awaiting action. but
there seems to be no disposition on the
part of that body TO hurry with its con-
sideration. Representative Jackson OF
Kansas, who made one of the best and
most interesting speeches in the House in
favor of the election of Senators by the
direct vote of the people, said last evening
that in passing the joint resolution the
House was simply obeying the command,
desire and wish of the American people.
THAT Joint resolution" said Mr.. Jack
son. has now gone to the Senate. and If
We are to judge the future by the past
then | fear that ii will meet the same fate
OF like resolutions on former occasions.
,Ithough the House has done its duty
in this matter. and it remains for the
Senate to act, still think that on every
occasion we should continue to call at
tention to the fact that the House has
responded to the demand OF the people
and emphasize TO the country that they
must look to the Senate for action. The
question of electing the Senators by the
people the same as members of the
House has been submitted to and en-
dorsed by a aiority of the voters. Now
if the Senate fails 10 respond the people
Will take note OF it and act through their
Legislatures by sending to the Senate men
pledged to vote for a joint resolution such
as is now pending In the Senate. It's
only question Of time.

Delaware Comes Into Her Own.

Delaware has come into her own at
last as far as Pub. Docs" are con-
cerned. There has been no Senator from
Delaware for a year, and before that
the State had had only one Senator for a
long time. This condition of affairs has
resulted in an unprecedented predica-
ment with regard to Delawares share of
the vast number of publications of the
Senate.
For months and years these documents
have been piling up in the Document
Room credited simply to The Senator
from Delaware" in the vain hope, per-
hans that the State would send man
to the unner house. The aisles and cor
ners have been filled with them. 1t has
been impossible to get about without
stumbling over bulky packages marked
with the worn-out phrase.
John f. Goldenbogen has solved the
problem. Mr.. Goldenbo gen is the new
Superintendent of the Senate Document
Room. Goldenbogen is German for rain
bow, which means promise, or hope, or
literally interpreted a way out of diff

ALL AMERICA SHOULD AID

By COLONEL E. B. TOWNSEND.
President of the Mount Pleasant Citizens Association

should the Government not pay on its
/ property in the same ratio. in the
same proportion. and at the same
rate as the citizen. saving nothing of
national pride, national dignity and
respect, and national responsibility?
! This is done fn many cities in foreign
countries, and works satisfactorily to

. The Government has absorbed and
is still absorbing blocks of ground
necessary for public use: ground
which for years has paid in taxes
large sums of money to our local rev
enue. Instantly the Government ac
quires title. taxation ceases. The
revenues of the District decrease
proportionately. and annual taxes
upon surrounding property increase
in corresponding ratio. Take the
ground acquired by the Government
in this manner during the past ten
years: yes, for the last five years;
ground. thereby, removed from the
field of assessment whence come rev.
enues for local support; calculate
what this was paying in taxes an
nually before the Government came
into possession of it, and what it is
paying now, and you will be surprised
at the result.

Strength in a Trinity.

Venezuela" said Hon. W. L. Scruggs.
former Minister to that Government in
conversation last night at the Riggs. lis
one of the finest countries naturally on
the fact of the earth, but its development
is checked by frequent political revoiu-
tions One is in progress there now. The
Liberal party is nominally in control, and
the Conservatives are in rebellion. In
Colombia, where the Conservative Gov
ernment is in the ascendant. the Liberals
are trying to overthrow it.
Prior to 1880 Venezuela, Colombia. and
Ecuador were joined together, and it
would be a mastery stroke OF political
wisdom to consolidate the three again.
The union under a strong, stable govern
ment would rebound to the advantage of
all concerned, and with a cessation of the
strife and turmoil incident to frequent
revolution there would be chance for
steady growth along the lines OF modern
progress.
THE situation in South America may
one day prove embarrassing TO the United
States because of adherence to the Mon
roe Doctrine. We keep Europe at bay
through its enforcement. and yet are
barred by our Constitution from reducing
these Governments to colonies or depend
encies The time when this may lead TO
serious complications may not be so dis
