RECENT STORIES OF SENATOR HoAR
Little Chronicle.

The senate has been kept after school
for idleness and inattention TO business
still we like to know something OF. what
the monitor says to the others when off
duty, and the Chicago Daily News pre-
sents a few of these lighter utteranees.
l. Mr.. Hoar is regarded by all his col
leagues as an authority on history. Ian
guage. literature and law. Disputed points
on any of these subjects are usually re-
ferred to him. His decisions are rendered
at once and regarded as final.
During the last few months of the serv-,
ice Of William V. Allen the populist SEN
ator from Nebraska. an amusing contr0-
versy arose between him and Senator Till
man of South Carolina. over the pronun-
citation of the word .'situs. Allen had
given the short sound of - in his pro-
nunciation and Tillman jumped to his feet
and insisted that it should be the long
sound. He appealed to Senator Hoar as
an authority on pronunciation The sen
ator automatically said that Mr.. Allen
undoubtedly knew that the word should
be pronounced with the long sound of i.
but had probably used the short sound in
order to save the time of the senate
AS Allen was the champion long distance
talker and at one time had held the moor
OF the senate for fourteen consecutive
hours, the subtle satire of MI IioafeWaS
duly appreciated.

humer is as catching and as spontaneous
as in it.

paper correspondent to Mr.. Hoar short

| Answering the look of establishment on
the correspondents face, the senator said:

clerk, Goodwin, write it. for he is much

The y ohnso1l Incl dent.

S: II. Johnson the public {. examiner,
has practically won victory in the house.
The house has passed a resolutio CONS
mending him for his diligence and eff
cheney as public servant, and the Burns
bill, which soughti:to take away certain
fees, which long established custom has
allotted to the public examiner, has been
amended out Of all likeness to itself. h The
only thing that was left.was the provision
that 500 in fees derived from the :ex-
animation of building and loan assscia-
lions should be applied on the expenses
Of the office and not go to the examiner
as part of his compensation. All the
other fees: which it was attempted in
the first instance to I1ivert from the pub
lie examiner, were left to be regarded as a
part Of his compensation and with the
construction put upon the matter which
this action gives there will hardly be any
dispute in the future as to the title of the
examiner to these fees. = r.'.
So we have the public examiner prac-
tically confirmed in his title TO, all but, q
small fraction of the fees heretofore re,
garded as belonging to. him, and az Warna
resolution Of Endorsement and comment
dation for his efficient services placed on
the records Of the house. =. = ~ i, t. F.
Mr.. Burns, who was showed forward by
the enemies Of Mr.. Johnson to make an
attack dfp5on the examiner, has been
| forced into expressions OF warmest
approval of the ~: examiners official
course and insists that he is only
actuated by devotion to. principle, the
| principle that salaried officers should not
have fees, which, Of course, commits Mr..
Burns fatty to- the cutting off of fees
received by other state officers and clerks
We shall now expect Mr. Burns, in order
to make good and justify his honorable
motives, to engage in a like campaign
against fees In the office Of secretary 81
state, governor and other departments. y
Meantime, there is that Wilson bill
which would withdraw the power from Ahs
public examiner to investigate railroad
| accounts and confine it to our diligent and
| enterprising railway commission, which
\ has managed to evade that duty through
| all the years Of its usefulness. The Will.
son bill will never pass. The republican:
in the legislature are not utterly indif.
ferent to the fact that the democrats are
/ watching their performance with keer
eye to the discovery of useful and effective
! campaign material for 1904. IT the demo
! Gratis had the fixing of things they eoult
not ask for anything better than the pas
j sage of the Wilson bill.

Food for the British.

Our Washington correspondent yester-
day called attention to the extent to which
the question Of food supply In time Of war
is agitating England. This discussion has
brought out, of course, the utter depend
ence Of the United Kingdom upon the
United States for its food. In the case
Of war between the two countries the
mere sequential withdrawal of American
provisions from the English market would
strike Britain a more terrible blow than
a wholesale repetition Of the naval victo-
ries of the war Of 1912.
So far as the movement of food sup
plies from North America during possi-
BILE war between the two countries is con-
cerned, there is no hope Of Improvement
from the English standpoint. 1t is true
that in some lines, especially wheat and
-four Canada will in the next few years
take q larger and larger part in supply
ing the English market and may develop
into that "granary Of the British empire"
it now claims to be. twin be gratifying
to British pride to get more and more of;
the old country's food supply from the all
red" parts Of theS world, but she might
draw the Whole Of itifrom Canada and still
be just as open to attack from the United
States on the food side as ever. It would;
be almost as easy for. the ted States to-
put an end to food shipments from Canada
as from our own ports. i In a military
sense Canada is at the mercy OF the Unit
ed States and always will be. These scon-
siderations are enough to convince any
one Of the ,remoteness of the possibility of
war between the United States and Great
Britain. We. should have to be inconceiv-
ably insulting and unjust to Britain to
drive! her into war under such conditions.

In the case of war between Britain
and some European nation, the question of
food supply becomes largely one of .insur-
ance orzof British naval superiority. II
that superiority is great enough, the hos
tile fleets and vessels can be kept from
getting to sea. If not great enough for
that, 1t may still be great enough to crush
them before they do great :damage.z- At
the least, It should be able. to~preVent a
blockade of British ports by the enemy.
THAT being done, vessels under neutral
flags will. supply the British people with
