WORK AHEAD
FOR CONGRESS.

With at least six important subjects
demanding legislative action, requested
by the people and the President, and with
only so working days remaining, the
work of Congress in the last few weeks
of its session is question of interest and
some concern.
The question of legislation regulating
trusts, so much discussed by people and
press for the last year, is the one of para
mount Importance. 1t was made the
principal topic by President Roosevelt
in his annual message to the present
session of Congress. That some legisla-
ton will pass the House seems now
almost assured. An appropriation of
100000 to be used by the Attorney Gen
eral in the prosecution of illegal corpora
tions doing an interstate business has
already passed that body. Further legis-
lation is now under consideration by a
subcommittee of the House Judiciary
Committee, and when Congress reassem-
bles next week this subcommittee will re-
port to the full committee. There seems
to be assurance that the full committee
will report it to the House and that it
will be the basis Of legal legislation in the
lower branch. That the measure will
contain the publicity features of what is
known as the Littlefeld bill now seems a
practical certainty.
The Senate however has the final de-
cision on this question. Senator Hoar,
chairman of the judiciary Committee, and
Senator o. H. Plat, of Connecticut, the
ranking Republican member Of the COM
mittee, have declared themselves in favor
of some legislation. So it seems probable
that bill will be passed before adjourn
ment.
The question of final legislation look
ing to the construction of an isthmian
canal remains with the executive branch
of the Government. Should treaty with
the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for canal by the Nicaragua route be
submitted before adjournment, it is
thought it will be ratified by the Senate
Should a treaty with Colombia be sub.
mitted before ratification by that country
it does not seem probable that the Senate
would accept it.
Reciprocity with Cuba is another I'M
portant question to be settled.
Still another question is that of increase
of the navy. There is practical unani
nifty in the House committee to provide
four new fighting ships of the line. There
is, however, disposition in the Senate to
cut this down.
Congress is not disposed to listen tc
the demand among prominent bankers
and Treasury officials for more elastic
currency. Three bills are already pend
ing in the House Committee on Currency
but the committee is not disposed to act
A bill establishing the gold standard in
the Philippine Islands now seems likely tC
pass.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- old
has issued an order that, until further
notice, it cannot accept carload freight,
except live stock and pcrsllable
freight, from connections west of Pitts
burg, Wheeling and Parkersburg,
destined to points east Of the Ohio
river. This step was made necessary
by the great demand for coal, the Bal
timore and Ohio being unable to han,
die the general business and at the
same time fill the unprecedented de-
mand for fuel.

Collector of tie Port Stone has pre-
sented an able and interesting review
of Baltimore's import and export bust
ness. There was the usual advance in
total collections despite an important
decrease in exports from this port.
The imports have increased so great
" as to far more than overcome the
lessening of the export total

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food The consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stonachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.

way, is half the battle, but

1t was great year. We mean it
was great year for US. Nobody can
deny it. So full has it been OF pro-
gress, OF accommodating wealth and
power, of increase abroad and security
at home pessimist might be moved
to accept it as a elimination, a zenith
and to turn his mournful eyes in search
of the inevitable decadence.
Last year marked new manifesto.
ton of that tremendous impulse of ex'
pansion and prosperity which revealed
itself six years ago, and which, ever
since, has widened and deepened and
intensified in ratio which the most
conservative must call astounding
Within our borders industry, com

science have advanced with giant
strides. Beyond those borders we
have invaded the markets OF the world
competed successfully with the oldest
and most progressive nations, estab-
lished our footing everywhere, and ex-
torted from the peoples Of every cont
nent recognition-willing or other
wise-of our dominating influence in
the affairs of man.
The advancement achieved in 1902
was projection of that of 1901, as the
latter marked a forward movement
from the point reached the year before.
Nowhere in the history of modern times
can we find parallel for this stipend

liancy and splendor.
Have we really reached the zenith,
the ultimate altitude, of our growth.
Surely not Compared with the mar
kets abroad, the possible markets
here within our own territory-Alaska,
New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and
other still undeveloped empires of the
far West-are as mountains TO mole
hills. The irrigation of the arid lands
between the Middle West and the
Rockies will reclaim an area greater
titan Germany and France confined
an area, moreover, that will be peo-
pied by men and women Of our own
kind, needing our products, customers
of our merchants and manufacturers.
Righteous and intelligent government
for Alaska, protection of property and
encouragement of industry there, will
open up market richer than China
and South America put together. The
promise of the new year is far more
alluring than the achievements Of the
old. 1t persuades US that the United
States is only at the threshold OF an
unreasonable career Our petty irri-
tations in the Philippines have atten,
uated to the vanishing point. Tie
European parades in Venezuelan wa
tiers are mere pin pricks, which We
can heal the moment they become Sc
riously troublesome. There is not
upon our whole horizon cloud which
we cannot dissipate with single
breath.
So we pass from the old year into
the new. Young, lusty, inspired by q
noble plan, and instinct with the fine
thoughts and purposes, the United
States enters upon another stage o.
its astonishing career. We are Lappy

CHICKENS AND THEIR CARE

Keep record of each hatch.
Never set a hen with scaly legs
Pullets are unreliable as settlers
A wild hen will have wild chick
ems. Neglected chicks will be
stunted. Set each hen in an apart
ment alone, When the chick
droops look tor lice. Dust the hen
we'll before setting her. Keep the
coops and nests clean. Be sure to
keep the hens in a warm place.
Keep small grit constantly within
reach. The fresher the egg the
better the hatch.
There are no positive non-set-
ting breeds. Sprinkle insect pow
der in the nests every week. Leave
the hen with her young so long az
she clucks. 1t is not always the
fat hen that becomes broody.

QUEER FINDS IN TREES.

TIE Benton Democrat tells the
following:
On April q, 1903, while cutting
a tree on Policy Henson's land in
Clark's river bottom four miles
southeast Of Princeton, j. w.
Banks and Ollie Henson found a
pocket knife, in q hole in a black
gum tree. about forty or fifty feet
high.
The knife was open and had q
horn handle, one jaw was eaten of
and the other gnswed as if squir-
rel had done it.
The Wingo Outlook furnishes
this one:
Thursday at noon Robert Cul.
lom, a farm hand working on the
farm of r. @. Mullins, one and
one-h6lf miles southeast OF town,
climbed a tree at least 100 feet from
the ground to a hawk nest, where
with long pole he punched out
of the nest the following curious
and extraordinary occupants:
Three young hawks, large as
frying size chickens, IL snakes, 3
to A feet long; young duck, l tur
key, 4 young chickens, 2 moles. 2
rabbits and 2 lizards.
