Letter to The Chicago Tribune.
" is certain that the present short
session Of congress will not be pro-
ductive of much general legislation,
but at the same time it will be a
session of the liveliest description. mark
ed by a series of hard fought fights on
half a dozen different fields.
Those who are seeking to support the
president in his efforts to secure legisla-
ton to curb the growing power of the
trusts are not at all disposed to accept
the belief that they must wait until af-
ter the close Of the short session to Sc
cure definite results. The chances are
all against any trust legislation this win
ter, but the fight is to be waged with just
as much vigor as If the passage of a salts
factory law were already in sight.
The tariff revision people are also de-
termined no grass shall grow under their
feet. They propose to pave the way for
future action and will begin by PROPOSE
tions to remove even the suspicion of a
tariff from anthracite COAL
The statehood question is to be precip-
itated in the senate during the second
week of the present session and all signs
point to a fight of unusual bitterness.
There is little prospect any of the three
territories will be given the honors and
privileges of statehood, with the possible
exception Of Oklahoma.
immigration, the department of COM
merce. the ship subsidy scheme. and one
or two other topics have in them vol
canic elements which are almost certain
to produce more or less of an eruption
between now and the 4th of March.
The fight over the statehood bill in
wolves something which is more like per-
sonal antagonism between Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania, and Senator Beverage
of Indiana. The Pennsylvania boss has
business interests out in New Mexico and
be is putting up a stiff fight in behalf of
the admission to the sisterhood of states
of Arizona and New Mexico.
The sisterhood bill, as it passed the
house, embraced the three territories Of

Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. This
was done to avoid opposition and to con
sOlidaue sentiment in the house. 1t was
quite wei understood at the time, how
ever. that the purpose of congress was to
admit Oklahoma alone and let the other
two territories wait awhile.
This sentiment was not founded on po-
liticaI considerations. but solely on the
question fthe ratio OF population to rep
resentatition. Oklahoma had an album
dance of population, and in addition there
to its percentage of illiteracy was re-
markably small. On the other hand
neither New Mexico nor Arizona had
much population, and the percentage of
llliteracy as shown by the census figures
was dangerously large.
When the omnibus statehood bill was
brought up for passage in the house it
could not possibly have received a ma
jority vote had it not been for the gem
eral understanding that the senate would
run away with the omnibus and permit
a vote on each territory separately.
Senator Elkins of West Virginia, who
was once delegate from New Mexico,
is helping Quay to secure admission of
the old standardization territory. These
two Republican senators have quite a
little following and have gained acces-
sions of late among the Democrats, who
believe Arizona and New Mexico surely
and Oklahoma. probably will be found
in the Democratic column at the next
general election. There is a strong sem
timent in the senate, however, against
the suspicion of anything like log rolling
when it comes to so serious a matter as
the creation of three new sovereign states.
Among the Republicans / have talked
with the sentiment is overwhelming that
each territory will stand on it's own mer-
it's. This is a principle likely to be adopt
ed by the committee. 1t probably will
separate the omnibus bin into three sep
arate measures and the indications are
that there will be a favorable report on
Oklahoma and either an unfavorable re-
port or no action at all on the other two
territories.
The report will show that the popula-

Washington to complete the repair work az

ulity OF one White House visitor.
while covering one Of the doors Of the
state dining room with a piece Of ordinary
leather. a visitor came to me and said: 'Ohl

however, that Il must have an uncommon

Roosevelt shot bear he was having the

of them have got into print. One, however, that

Its whole upon the theory that Cyanide

duce it. and finally the first night. the brief

Almost surprising as the great quantities
OF plays written, and never heard of Is the
number accepted by managers and yet not
produced In the first place, there are the
great number Of dramas bought for a small
sum in cash. often taken simply because OF a
promising scene or two, or some novelty in
story that possesses possibilities OF Develop
ment. A manager buys the manuscript and
stores Il away, where IL lies untouched often
until his executors go over his lapers after
his death.
Besides the dramas thus eyerlastingly
shelved, there are those that wait many years
for a public hearing often pieces contracted
for with experienced dramatists on simply

Rheumatism must be treated
through the blood, and no remedy
brings such prompt and lasting relief
as S. S. s. It attacks the disease in
the blood, neutralizes the acids, and
removes all irritating or poisonous
substances from the system.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches
the thin acid blood, and, as it circu-
lates through the body, the corroding,
gnawing poisons and acid deposits
are dislodged and washed out of the
muscles and joints, and the sufferer
is happily relieved from the discom-
forts and misery of Rheumatism.

The statehood bills are made a special
order for consideration after December l.
When the question is once divided there
would be no doubt about a favorable vote
for Oklahoma. The trouble is, however
that Mr.. Quay's friends have announced
that if Arizona and New Mexico are not
first voted upon and accepted they will
kill off the Oklahoma bill, at least for this
session. There is no doubt of their abili-
ty to do this and it seems quite likely
that when the fifty-seventh congress ad-
journs the fourth day of March it will
leave all the trust amendments, the tariff
revision question, and the statehood dis
pute as legacies to the f1fty-eighth con-
gress, so that when Uncle Joe" Cannon
first raps the house to order he will find
confronting him three of the most i'm
portant questions that could bother the
busy brain of any speaker.
