Clear Field for Mr.. Burgess.

Representative Kleberg. of Texas, has
announced his withdrawal from the con-
test for denomination this fall This leaves
Representative Burgess clear field with
a certainty Of his return to the next
House.
Texas gained three additional Reprcsen-
tatives in the House under the new ap-
portionment, and in redistricting the
state 1t was found necessary to place
Representatives Kleberg and Representa-
tive Burgess in the same district There
was promise of very lively contest be-
tween the two, as both are popular in
their own localities and in Washington,
but Mr. Kleberg's announcement has OBJ
waited all strife. He has already served
SIX years in the House, having succeed
ed the late Representative Grain.
Mr.. Burgess is serving his first term, and
has already displayed his ability upon
several occasions. and his return will give
him further opportunity.

GOSSIP AND CHAT HEARD IN
WASHINGTON HOTEL LOBBIES.
Cannot Do Without Juries.

Young men glowing with zeal to make
things better in this sad old world dream
of reforms that oddly enough they care
nothing about as they grow older" said
Mr.. ". C. Grassland, of San Francisco, at
the Raleigh.
Il remember when at a big law school,
nearly all the students were dead sure
that the abolition of the jury system
would improve mundane conditions 100
per cent. l was one of the keenest n
favor Of the change, but before had been
practicing law three years l smiled at
the thought of my delusion. We can't do
without judges, but the profession would
much rather risk our cases with jurymen
than jurists. The old system may not
be perfect, but it is the best ever yet
devised"

The Sin Of Vulgarity.

| A Settlement worker In New York
Is reported to have said that the prob
lem Of the work in that city was that
OF vulgarity in speech, in thought, In
life, leading to degeneracy.
Commenting on this statement. 4
caustic observer expresses the opin-
ion that the best way to fight vul-
garity is not to tell people that they
have it; limiting moreover. that re-
marks such as these, about the per-
sons whom one is ostensibly trying to
convert to the gospel, are snobbish.
and snobbishness is exceedingly vul-
gar. And there is sense in this.
There is also sense, however, in
what the philanthropist said; but If
the American public needs more re-
fnement 1t seems as if it would be
easier to inculcate such quality
among people who are living under
conditions better than those of the
tenement house. The truth of the
matter is that there is good deal Of
eradicable commonness, not to use
the more offensive term, among mid
die class people who ought to learn
better; and the vulgarizing Of Ameri-
can ideals by these people is a much
more serious matter than the free
speech and free actions of class
whose circumstances make refinement
almost impossible
The man who is pushed into the mud
cannot be blamed for being dirty; the
man who voluntarily chooses to be
unclean is offensive not only in Il
material but moral sense.
1t might be inferred, from the talk
one hears among well-dressed and
fairly intelligent people sometimes
that what they call commonness was
matter OF dress. of furnishing,
of housing, and not a matter of
ethics, or even minor morals. To be
brave, honest, kind, considerate of the !
feelings and rights of others. eager |
to know and achieve the best in the |
moral and intellectual world, not for |
selfish gain, but for the sake of knowl- |
edge and achievement-these ideals |
are not common, and they are not |
likely ever to be-

A Dozen Harrys in the House.

There are more than dozen members
of the House who are called Harry" by
friends, and frequently their mail is ad-
dressed Hon. Harry Blank" but when
they write their names on a hotel regis
ter 1t is Henry and not Harry"
This, however, does not apply to Rep
resentative Maynard of Virginia. He signs
his name Harry Lee Maynard" Refer
ring to this subject he said yesterday:
Nothing irritates me so much as to have
some one say Have l the pleasure of ad-
dressing Representative Henry Lee May

and not Henry: that both are distinct

are christened Henry and called Harry

WHY CHRISTIANZED CHINAMEN SHOULD
BE EXEMPT FROM THE EXCLUSION LAW


Christianity being the foundation of the civilia-
ton of the Western world, and the rock upon which
he United States the greatest Republic the world has
ever known, was built it little strange that
the Christanized Chnaman should not be exempt from
the Chinese exclusion For this reason introduced
amendment tothe Chinese exclusion
ported by the Senate Committee Immigration favor
ing the exemption from the provisions of the
of Chrstianized Cinnamon.
The fact that ii argued that such amend
ment would cause the to be raised higher than
the dragon all China, and that in the of its
passage would be proclaimed the greatest Chinese
missionary the world had known, does not shake
my opinion one iota to the efficacy of admtin to
this country the Christianized Cinnamon.

My other amendment to the measure reported
by the Senate committee favoring the exemption
of the Chinese soldiers who protected the American
legation during the siege of Pekin based on the
fact that the allies of the forces of the United
States they protected the lives and property of
United States minister, Mr.. Conger, and his family.
If only in appreciation of the great service they

Very high temperatures, with an almost entire absence Of precipitation prevailed during the week ending June 16. While crops apparently have not been seriously injured they are beginning to feel the effects of the droughty conditions and rain is badly needed in some localities, especially throughout the northwest section, where wells are drying up and stock water is becoming scarce. Cotton is clean. we'll cultivated and continues to make good growth; it is beginning to bloom in some few localities. Corn has suffered to some extent from the hot dry weather which has caused it to wilt and turn yellow; the late planted is being laid by Wheat har- vesting has progressed rapidly during the week; the yield is not uniform, some sections reporting an average crop, while ill others the yield is from poor to fair.

SURVEYS FOR EXTENSION.

Speaking of the Missouri Pacific eX- tensions, the Springfield Record says:
 About six hundred men are now at work on the new road and the sur veyors are in Fancy county pushing their part of the work with all speed to keep ahead of the construction gangs.
 What the route of the line from Fancy county will be cannot be known for the red line on the map referred to is direct line to Carthage from Batesville; and it is not likely that it was intended as an accurate descrip tion of the course for the reason that it does not accurately describe that part of the road which is already com pleted in Arkansas and on which trains are now running.
 The map seems to indicate that the new road will probably hit Aurora on it's way to Carthage and from the former point pass between the .Frisc o and the old Memphis lines.
