A WOODWORKING MORE.

The present congress will be more

there will be many antitrust bills

appropriation bills and large appropri'

prospect. the majority may easily
abandon its enforced attitude and re-
turn TO It's original protection poll

suffice, in the opinion Of the majority
for genuine endeavor TO fulfill pledges
This is the undercurrent in the present
congress.
The best that can be expected of this
congress in the way of tariff reform is
the authorization Of the appointment
OF n tariff-revision commission to pla
cate the president. This course would
put the tariff issue out OF the way in
definitely and leave the question In
allegiance until the next campaign.
This congress is ultra protective
and it can not be expected to wed {
radical reform policy. when it is bount
by inseparable ties to the "communi

Must Number Your House.

The postmen have already filed a
complaint. 1t Is correct, just one,
however, and one that the property
holder must overcome between now
and the 10th day of the month. Many
people have refused, some simply neg
lected, putting up the house numbers;
many business houses even on Main
street have no numbers. The postal
law is plain and imperative on this
point and unless the numbers are put
in position between now and the 10th
OF the month, the name of those delin.
quent win be dropped from the free

The Beacon sizes up the statehood
situation briefly as follows
There is great danger that oklaho-
ma will lose out on statehood at this
session Of congress in spite OF the
fact that there appears to be almost a
unanimous sentiment in its favor.
The situation is anomalous The
house has passed the omnibus
bill which includes the three territor-
les, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari-
zona and the senate republicans are
opposed to all but Oklahoma.
should the senate report adversely
the omnibus bill, and pass a measure
admitting Oklahoma alone, that bill
would go to the house as new one,
All the work done in the house would
be null and void and pledges and prom
ises would count for naught because
men who agreed TO support all three
cannot be held as pledged TO one alone.
1T will only be natural for the
friends OF New Mexico and Arizona Ia
insist upon their admission as the
price of their support of Oklahoma S
claims.
Unfortunately for New Mexico she
believed the story spread by Mcclure
in Oklahoma that a republican victory
was essential to statehood. This very
claim is disproved as New Mexico
finds its only opposition among repub
lican senators after voting the repub
lican ticket almost solidly.
oklahoma may get through on heI
merits. 1t is certain that her free
dom of ballot will not be abridged ant
It is certain that she could win state
hood II not mixed up in the omnibus
!. bill. But there is danger that compli
cations will arise which will defeai
her admission through lack OF tim,
and because of the disappointment Il

A Good Representative.

As the city council had subscribed
for big block Of stock in the Pa
cltic canal, the tfathersn asked that
a representative of the city be placed
on. the board Of directors. The
present directors expressed desire
to accede to this. They asked that
q man be named to be voted on ut
the annual meeting in March, Of
the stockholders. Mayor Barrett
selected John II. Brennan and the
council unanimously confirmed him.
The choice was one Of the best, II
not the very best, that could have
been made, both for the city and
for the company. Mr.. Brennan's
knowledge of public work IS extern
sive, while his ability to handle large
financial propositions is well knowip.
He has the energy and resourceful-
ness to help the corApany keep tho
canal moving rapidly toward com
pletion. HIS aid and advice will be

it will also, we believe, be the means
