Tomatoes Arc pIentIrul.

Farmers in this section of the country
report that tomatoes are plentiful.
The supply is infinitely greater than il
was at this time last year and as rule
the tomatoes are good. The demand is
satisfactory. As result of the failure
of the crop last year, some of the
growers MADE contracts to supply can
ners this year at good prices, and they
will probably fare better than those
who are supplying the market, where
the exceptionally high prices of last
year are unknown.

A porisicai 'lniustioe.

Discussing the present political stu
ation 10 this country, the Baltimore
Sun holds that it is unfortunate that
the policy Of our general government.
under the system that prevails does
not respond more quickly to the will
of the Ieople. II says:
The PEOPLE might vote in November
against the party now in power by the
greatest possible majority, and it would
be several years before their will could
be enacted into law, and the election
this fall would have TO be followed up
by others in succeeding years. Before
any affirmative political action can be
taken 1t is necessary for the Executive
and both houses. of Congress to concur.
The House of Representatives to be
elected this fall will not, in the usual
| course of events, assemble for business
| for more than year after the election.
III the Democrats should have a ma
| iority of the members they will be able
to put stop to all Legislation 10 which
| they are opposed Iiut they will be
powerless 10 put one act on the statute
books or to repeal one law that is
there against the will of the President
and Senate, 10th Republican. Posses
sion of the House of Representatives,
however, and the veto power that il
has are most important. The party
which has control of the House mol
only has this veto power on all legisla
ton, but it has absolute control Of all
| appropriations. In this way it car
impose terms upon the Senate and the
Executive, and it can protect the PEG
| pie from extreme partisan action, as il
has often done.
The worst feature of this situation j.
that it prevents the people from secur
ing the reforms that they vote for, .,
the partisan division of Congress wher
one party controls the House and thu
other the Senate works to proven
legislation. For instance, the peopl,
might elect House OF Representative
next November which would be abso
lutely committed to a reform of tn,
tariff, and yet tariff reform could no
be accomplished thereby. For tn,
Senate would stand in hostile atti
tude, and refuse to concur in any meas
ure adopted by the House.
In most countries the people gs
what they vote for, particularly il
England, where the administration il
always in line with the sentiment o
the people as expressed in the election
of members of Parliament And wher
the administration loses the counter
ance and support of Parliament tn,
custom is for Parliament to be dis
solved and a new body chosen. In thi
way, the will of the people, as expressed
by their ballots, is pretty sure to b,
respected at all times.

constituted a matter Of privilege here
Mr.. Payne incidentally declared that
he agreed with Mr.. Richardson that
the senate could not invade the priv

sertion Of the power on the floor Of

Stitute a question of privilege.

bill. Mr.. Blackburn of Kentucky, a
member of the judiciary committee,
vigorously opposed the measure, not so
much because he thought the salaries
proposed were too high, as because he
felt that there ought to be a general
revision Of salaries paid to officials Of
the government.
Mr.. SpOOner of Wisconsin supported
the bill, and said there were cases
where men had refused appointments
on the supreme bench because the sal
aries were inadequate
Mr. Stewart gave notice of an amend
ment to the bill, providing that the sal
aries of senators and representatives
in congress should be $500 per annum.
Mr.. McComas of Maryland, Mr. HaW-
ley Of Connecticut and Mr.. Fairbanks
of Indiana supported the measure.
Mr.. Hawley advocated the amend

salaries of senators and representatives
