Elk Gov. Burleigh has been meeting
with the public building aud grounds
committee several times of late. There ia
heing framed a bill to increase the
amount OF appropriations for various
puotc building projects, and for chang
ing existing law in other particulars as to
he construction of public buildings
Throughout the country. 1t requires ex-
teu-ive Investigations of local situal ion,
and good share of this work devolves
upon Gov. Burleigh as he is one OF the
leading repu oiicans on the committee,
and the chairman of a sub committee
which has In charge all the projects for a
considerable portion OF The country.
In that connection Gov. BurIeigh is
-eeking legislation that will result in the
speedy pure base OF site for t ne proposed
public building for post office at Bar
Harbor. AS is well un ierstood, the pur-
chase OF a site has not been completed in
the hope that Congress may suthorizs the
purchase OF a site which has already been
selected, bat which does not meet with
the full requirements of existing general
law on the suit jet.

now the Philippines committee and the

the work is becoming harder as the ses-
sion advances. No senator is more
constant in his attendance upon the
sessions OF the Senate than Mr.. Hale. He
is almost a watchdog there. and keeps an
eye on pretty nearly all legislation that
comes up. Many senators give little
heed to anything but measures in which
they are personally interested, leaving to
others the duty of looking out for the
interests of the government.
In many instances that Is a tbankiess

looks out for the government year in and
year out, the people generally come to
esteem for some qualities of statesman

in the Senate, certainly one OF the three
biggest men, and some think in many
particulars the most useful of all, Mr..
Hale certainly exceeds both Mr.. Allison
and Mr.. Aldrich in watchfuIness and
capacity for sounding the eommon-sense
view OF current legislative measures.
He performs for the Senate in large
part the same duties that "Uncle Joe'
Cannon performs in the House, although
