THE FIRST
WEEK OF
CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec e.
The only noteworthy accomplishment
OF first weeks session of congress was
the passage of the bill appropriating
fifty thousand dollars to defray the
expenses of the anthracite commits
sion.
Important work in committee was
the agreement of the judiciary com
mittee TO accept bill of last year as
the basis of antitrust legislation and
beginning hearings before the inter
state commerce committee of the bill
creating a department of commerce.
The judiciary committee expects to be
able to report this session
Elections committee No. 2 will de-
eide whether it is possible to hear
the Wagner contest for the seat held
by Butler OF the st. Louis district this
session.
In the senate the immigration bill
is the regular order. beginning at 2
p. III. daily. Wednesday the omnibus
bill comes up by agreement. A can
vass of members by those against the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
is said to have developed the fact that
Quays claim to a majority favoring
admission of all three territories is
mistake. The vote. however, will be
very close. 1t is not expected to be
reached the coming week.

DEMAND FOR LABOR

tions are assured for year TO come.
Railroads having terminals here are
greatly hampered. Within the last
month 5000 railroad laborers have
been imported to this city from the
western sections. but the number
seems to have made little impression.
The railroads say they have 10000
more men, but despair of getting
them. The employment agencies. es-
peciallly those having contracts to
provide labor to the railroads, have
taken off their feees to applicants-of
whom there are few-and notified
the State labor bureaus to send all
the help they can master to them.
They have sent notices to other cities
that they will pay for transportation
to this city. but the conditions else
where stand in the way of realization
Of the desires.
The scarcity of labor is not con
fined to the railroads or any line Of
business, but is general in the broad

BICYCLE
RIDERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Promptly at

the specially constructed track in
Madison Square Garden, score or
more of the worlds famous bicycle
riders, who. in ride for glory and
gold. will travel at their utmost speed
for twelve hours out of the twenty
four from then until next Saturday
night. The men represent as many
teams of two riders each that have
entered in this winters six-day race.
Interest in this years race centers
around Mcfarland and Maya. This
was the winning team in the Boston
six-day race last winter and is the
only team from the three races OF
last year which remains intact for the
big contest.

ner this year, and Jed Newkirk is

of the dearth OF domestic. In no

tain prominent educators are gener-
ally adopted. 1t will follow him
through his college and university
life. In the midst of the most siren
uous period OF American existence we
have all begun to discredit the doc
trine of self-effort and self-help. So
ciety is to be reconstructed along la
bor-saving lines We are making a
national cultus out of the doctrine
that work is inherently bad and must
be avoided so far as possible. No
body is to pull his weight as Presi-
dent Roosevelt says. but everybody is
to be pulled along by mysterious
forces toward the ultimate goal of his
ambition.
1t is time we were turning our
thoughts back to the old-fashioned
American ideas of industrial as well
as political Independence. All that
the fathers of the republic asked of
government was for the government
to protect their lives and property.
and then let them severely alone in
the enjoyment of their natural rights.
The sons are beginning to insist that
the government shall provide them
with life and property, and then
manage both in order
that they may be relieved of all care
and responsibiity.-Coi Springs
