Bill for the Letter Carriers.

The letter carriers Of the country have
one stanch friend on the Appropriations
Committee of the House. He is Repre-
sentative Livingston, of Georgia. II the
House Committee on Postoflces and Post
roads makes favorable report on the
bill introduced by Representative William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, to reclassify
Livingston will do all he can to pass a
bill making the necessary appropriations
to give the graded increase in the letter
carriers pay, as provided for by the Smith
bill. Mr.. Livingston says the letter car
riers are really the poorest paid Of all
Government employees. when the respon-
sibility of their position is taken into ac-
count 1t is no more than justice, he
SAYS, to pay carrier 81 200 per annum
after that carrier has entered the service
at 5000 per year and served four years. 1t
is proposed by the Smith bill to give
carrier $500 a year increase until he
reaches 81 200. and then he can 60 no
higher. 1t should be borne in mind. Mr..
Livingston said, that a carrier sometimes
serves two, three, and even four years as
a substitute before he is appointed a regu-
lar at 5000 This is not so with any other
branch of the public service. There is a
pronounced sentiment in the House in IA
vor of the bill to reclassify the letter car
riers, and there is no question that II

hat in the cloakroom he goes to his desk,
where he begins work on his CORE

through the building point out Mr.. Woods
as the member who can always be found
in the House during its session.
The member from California makes /;
rule never to leave the Capitol while
the House is in session, unless II is to
attend committee meeting. AS a conse-
quence, the newspaper correspondents who
arrive late can always learn what the
House has done. II Mr.. Woods has any
business before the department he does
not wait until midday, but is on hand
when the departments open. He is one
OF the very few members who attend
to all their correspondence in the House
instead of at home. Mr.. Woods says there
is no truth in the report that he is a can
didate for the Senate to succeed Senator
Perkins. He says he is for Sci ator Per-
kins because the Senator deserves re-

is in the midst of it.
Then, too, there is class of persons who are
brought down by proectiles which ricochet the small
pox germs which strike inert substance, a
letter old garment, and detected off, to
speak, to find lodgment in in the distance
apparently outside the field of action
We have. however, in mimic battle, in which
smallpox germs form the projectiles another factor
to consider. 1t appears probable that single germ
cannot iniict perceptble wound We do not know
how many of them it does take to be effective; prob
ably in more, and in others less, depend
ing upon the condition of the person exposed to at
tack. 1t is only, however, when the charge which
finds lodgment in the body is in excess of the powers
of resistance of such body that disease results.
When bear in mind all of the foregoing factors
and remember that of only of them (persona inn
munity, which be tested by vaccnation), the
potency be accurately determined it is not surprising
that unable to say at once whether given in
dvidual who has been exposed to smallpox will will
develop the disease, but find 1t necessary to
antine all and await the expiration of the longest
period ordinarily required for its development sixteen
days. and after the expiration of that period it
is usually impossible to say why some have devel-
oped smallpox while others have escaped.

In line with his duties as commissioner
Upon his return to the university, In

They seem to be anxious" said Dr.
Brumbaugh, ''to redeem what was neglect

A Shock to Delegate Rodey.

The happiest man in the House the
other day was Delegate Rodey of New
Mexico. He was as joyful and playful as
boy with his first pair of redtop boots.
He could hardly contain himself The
cause was the action of the House Com
mittee on Territories in agreeing to
unanimously report the Rodey bill ad-
mitting New Mexico to statehood.
At once the popular Delegate from New
Mexico saw beautiful visions. He could
see the speedy passage of his bill through
the House and the Senate and it's ap-
proval by the President. He could hear
the clerk in the Senate call the names
of the Senators from New Mexico. The
one wish Of his political life had been
gratifed. He had secured statehood for
his Territory.
But his dream was soon shattered Del
egate Mark Smith of Arizona did the deed.
why, Rodey, there is no occasion for
shouting over the action OF the House
Committee on Territories. I've seen a
bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico
pass several Houses of Congress, but they
are still Territories. The House may
pass our bills, but that is no guarantee
that they will get through the Senate.

Territories will be admitted, but when,

A Friend of New Washington.

No member in the House takes a
more lively interest in the advancement
and Improvement of the National Capital
than Representative r. w. Davis, of the
Second Congressional district of Florida.
In the language Of Mr.. Davis, the Capt.
tai belongs to the nation, and Congress
should deal with 1t as a national posses
sion. II the improvements proposed by
the Parking Commission are carried out by
Congress, he said, then indeed will Wash
ington be the most beautiful city in the
world. 1t will be, he said. exactly what
its founder intended, a city of magnificent
distances.
Mr. Davis is serving his third consecu-
tive term, and as a recognition o. his
ability Speaker Henderson placed him on
two of the most important committees of
the House. Interstate and Foreign Com
merce and Merchant Marine and Fishe:ies.
These are hardworking committees and
they are called upon to consider ques-
tions affecting the entire welfare of the
country. When the ship subsidy bill comes
before the House the statesman from the
Second Florida district will have some
thing to say.

Alaska Workers Aggrieved.

Away up in Alaska thousands of pa
triotic Americans read President Roose-
velt's message to Congress and wondered,
and were downright sore that never a
syllable did he utter about that Terri
tory" said Mr.. George E. Bent. who is
largely interested in Alaskan gold mines,
to 4 reporter for The Times last night at
the Shoreham.
Probably We wouldn't have cared so
much about ii if he had not mentioned
Porto Rico and Hawaii in that document.
He doesn't even know we're on the map,
was the current comment and the idea
that outlying regions in the sea, inhabited
mostly by inferior races. and that in
million of years couldn't be worth tithe
of Alaska. were deemed worthy of men
ton, while the great Northwestern pos
session of Uncle Sam was ignored, GER
tainly hurt our feelings.
I'VE have got over the first blush OF
resentment, and the view prevails that
the President did not overlook the Terri
tory Intentionally. His friends up there
are legion. His virile personality suits
our people, as it does all Westerners. But
we want him to cast his eye on the map
and take such long and lingering glance
that he will make no similar omission in
the future"
