When it comes to hotel life, where per-

would appear to be only fair that the
former should pay for the extra service

that today there are existing concessions
to foreigners calling for the construction
of 5000 miles of railroad. Oregon and
Washington are the best sources on earth
from which to draw the lumber and sup

Our flour trade with China is also
growing to immense proportions, and that
is of vital concern to the wheat growers
of the West. In view of these things, l
ask, why insult China and her merchants
with harsh legislation? 1t is well enough
to keep out the coolies, but let the better

SENATOR MITCHELL'S JOKE -

ing Him Out of Bed Early.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon is fond of
his Joke. and can so well conceal any
emotion behind the generous set Of whis-
kers that covers his face that his jokes
are usually carried out successfully. He
played one on his old friend Senator Nor
gan Of Alabama, the chairman of the In
teroceanic Canals Committee, Of which
Senator Mitchell is a member. a couple
of days ago.
II don't understand what this means,
SIR" said Senator Mitchell, approaching
Senator Morgan in the latter's commit
tee room, and holding a summons to a
committee meeting in his hand. Il re-
ceived this notification Of a meeting Of
this committee, and was here promptly
at the hour named, and what do hnd.
sir? Why. that the distinguished chair
man Of that committee was not here, that
none of the members of that committee
were here; that not even q clerk or
messenger was here. and the committee
rooms closed. I would like to know the
meaning Of it,"
"You must be mistaken replied Sen
ator Morgan, warming up a bit. Il am
always here at the hour appointed for
committee meetings"
Just read that. sir. and tell me
whether you were here at the appointed
hour said Senator Mitchell.
Senator Morgan read the notice. 1t re-
quested Senator Mitchell to be present
at a meeting of the Interoceanic Canals
Committee at 2 a. m. of the date named.
THE pie and milk is on me- said Sen
ator Morgan.

SURPRISED THE CHAIRMAN-Mr.
Norton's Good Work I'm Behalf of
Old Soldiers.

For the past ten years or more the
old soldiers have been petitioning Con-
gress to pass general pension Law that
would take the place Of the -innumerable
pension acts that have been passed since
the close Of the civil war, but it seems
the petitions we're never acted on. Now,
however. the old soldier will get what
he has been asking for years. During the
meeting Monday of the Invalid Pensions
Committee Representative Norton of Ohio
sprung surprise on Chairman Sulloway.
The member from the Buckeye State
moved that the chairman be instructed to
appoint committee of three. to draft q
general pension bill that will do away
with all the special pension laws in the
statute books and thus facilitate the old
soldiers efforts to secure Government aid.
The chairman looked at Mr.. Norton and
then at the other members of the COM
mittee as IL to say he hoped the motion
would be voted down. But Mr.. Norton
insisted on roll call and the motion
prevailed.
Now if the Republicans are sincere In
this endeavor of wanting to help the old
soldier" said the member from Ohio,
then let them pass the bill I've sug-
gested."
