Mayor Moss Suggests an Amendment
The suggestion offered by Mayor Mass

most excellent one, and we trust It will
not be too late to get a hearing before
the final disposition of the bill So

in any county, that are located Within
ono mile Of the corporate limits of any
city or town. shall pay the same license
as the city or town imposes upon the
saloons within Its limits.
z The adoption OF this would, OF course,
materially Increase the revenues Of some
counties, but this is not the 'object Of
the amendment. The real effort on the
part OF Mayor Moss is to drive away
the dives that hover on the edge of every
city ana offer a hiding place or rendez-

THE JAMESTOWN APPROPRIA.
TON. 5S Il

The House has been good to the James,
town Exposition Company, and by voting
an appropriation OF 100000, has assured
the success Of the exposition. It is SO
much the better for the enterprise that
the appropriation was voted by hand
some majority. This will give the James
town Exposition Company q substantial
basis OF credit, and there will be no diff

Many Much-TraveIed New Workers
Who Have Never Seen Washington.


Take the people of New York, for
example 1t has been said many times
that New Workers are in some re-
spects the most provincial people in
the United States. This is, of course,
slanderous. But the fact is that there
are people in New York who have
travelled beyond seas, who have Wis
tied Paris and Budapest, and Bombay
and Hongkong, and Jerusalem and
Vladivostok, who have never been in
Washington in their lives. OF course,
it is inconvenient to prove this state
ment. but the fact is that two New
Workers of wealth, education aid re-
finement are visiting in Washington
at this writing who confess that this
is their first visit, although they have
travelled in Europe and Asia until they
are tired of globe-trotting. These are
isolated instances.
Recently there came to Washington
a man who had accumulated fortune
of several millions of dollars in one OF
the greatest manufacturing industries
of this country. His home and the
seat of the industry he founded are in
an interior city, but the company has
branches in every large city in the
world. He had travelled in many lands
but he had not been in Washington
since the civil war until this winter
He had been so busy he had not
thought Of the changes that must have
taken place at the capital. He saw
everything with the wondering eyes
of a child. The senate interested and
puzzled him greatly; the library OF
congress made him ashamed that he
had believed Europe possessed all the
architecture and art worth having;
the executive departments were run
on a different plan than he had sup
posed. He found that the men he had
believed great were small and the men
he had believed second-raters were
leaders in legislation and administra-
tion.-Walter E. Clark, in Golfers.

better to leave the sisters alone with
their dead.
An hour afterward, when he went
back, he found them locked in each
others arms, and he vowed to him
self that they should not be parted
again. Death had softened his heart
and had inclined it to the fair and
devoted child of his dead sister. He
resolved that, if she would, she
should come away with him, and
leave him no more.
To be continued.

motion that the motion to reconsider

for hope Of passing the bill notwith-

who did not quite call it a steal, yet
denounced it as a plan to give some

that if he were in the position of the
gentlemen back of the bill he, TOO,
should be anxious for it to pass,
since it gave away state property

Another endeavor was made to de

Madison, April 27.-Gov. La Toilette
sent two vetoes to the assembly, one
on the bill permitting cities of the
third class to issue bonds for the pur-
chase of school sites and the erection
of school buildings to the amount Of
100000 annually. The governor
calls attention to an omission from
the bill of any reference to the law re-
quiring bond issues to be submitted to
vote Of the people. The second
veto was of the bill relating to courts
taking judicial notice of the public
acts of congress and the statutes of
other states. Both vetOes were laid
over until today for action. The as
sembly refused to concur in the senate
amendment to the assembly bill pro-
viding a contingent fund of $4,000 for
the prevention of Asiatic cholera,

contagious diseases. The senate
amendment provided that none of the
money should be available for the pre-
vention of smallpox and other dan
gerous contagious diseases" 1t is
the sense of the assembly that the APP
preparation shall be available for the
stamping out Of smallpox. The Stout
compulsory education bill was concur
led in as vas also the bill giving state
aid to county schools of agriculture.
The bill providing additional in
speotors and an assistant chemist for
