Brief Paragraphs

With good rains on the crops and an
abundant rain of Hearst coins, Kansas
is not bleeding.
Mr.. German now rises to the
occasion and proceeds to rebuke
"machine politics."
In lieu of something better they are
quoting some of Judge Parker's old
decisions from the bench.
The entry of spring reminds us that
the grating bacullus has received one
or two severe checks during the winter.
Twelve years is said to be the life of
the costliest and finest of the battle
ships. The Russians have found the
period even less.
The Democratic rank and file ex-
press profound respect for Judge
Parker's opinions without having any
idea what they are like.
The charge against George Fred
Williams that he is an aristocrat can
be easily sustained providing a small
and select following is an indication of
such rank.
After all it appears that Judge
Parker is a man OF great versatility.
According to different biographical
sketches he was born in Ulster county,
New York, Worcester, Massachusetts,
and likewise Cortland, New York.
When asked about Mr.. Bryan's
criticism it was reported that Judge
Parker simply laughed. This was
doubtless safer than making a reply,
but it will furnish a sufficient text fol-
another editorial page in Commoner.
The Washington Post notes that
Korea's navy consists Of twenty-five
admirals and one iron-buiIt coal barge.
The Post shudders to think Of the re.
suits should the Korean and the Pana-
man navies get into a conflict.

Pews for Presbrterlan ohuroh

At the meeting of the Presbyterian
congregation Monday evening it was
unanimously decided TO place pews
in the upper audience room and the
trustees were instructed to forthwith
purchase them and expend $500.
1t was also concluded to procure a
new carpet for the same room.
There is a rumOr that some are
interested in having outside parties
buy the carpet. If our home merch-
ants are not permitted to do the buy
ing and so make whatever small
profit there is in it, the public should
Withhold contributions for this objec:.
We should have no money to foster
outside interests, and buy Of parties
who never spend a cent with US.

far as possible is the way to make

Pennsylvania State College

The College has grown so rapidly,
both in the scope Of its work and its
buildings and equipment, that many
of its friends do not appreciate the
leading position it now occupies
among the technical institutions of
the country. The number Of students
in attendance has more than doubled
within the last four years, and today
Ga counties of the State are represent
ed in the student body. This growth
Is due largely to the fact that 1t has
come to be recognized thata thorough
training along technical lines, or a
general College education, can be
obtained at the State College at a
minimum expense. The proof of
this statement is seen in the fact that
for the last four or five years gradu-
ates of the College have been placed
in responsible positions before Conn
mencement Day, many more oppor-
tunities being offered than could be
accepted.

The second session Of the 5sth
American Congress adjourned Thurs
day, without day., with all the
simplicity, good feeling, dignity and
business methods Characteristic Of the
American people and the times in
which they live. AS Speaker Cannon
said in his closing remarks, the cheat
of the contest has died away, and
both sides Of the House part with
mutual respect for each other While
he cooperated with the majority, he
recognized that the minority had
function to perform hardly second in
its importance, and so, he said it ever
win be while the republic Iendures.
From half past ten o'clock Thursday
morning until nearly two O'Clock pm.
business in the house proceeded
smoothly and rapidly and many bills
were passed, mostly of minor impor-
tance. It was hard work to keep
members in their seats, and they
crowded the forum in front Of the
Speakers desk like bees in swarming
time Mr.. Van Duzer of Nevada
made his usual rainbow speech about
that state, which he claims is the most
important in the Union. This set the
House in good humor, and roars Of
laughter followed.
The only other incident Of interest
occurred when Mr.. Lacey of Iowa
attempted to have a bill passed rein
stating the cadets at the naval academy
at Annapolis, Nd, who have been
discharged by the commandent, Capt
Brown, for disobeying orders anu
hazing. A hot fire Of protest came
from both sides Of the house. Hon.
Champ Clark, Mo-, exploded in a
white heat of Indignation, and figura-
lively speaking, spread himself all
over the surrounding benches. There
were some who pleaded for mercy for
the boys, on the ground that the
punishment was out of proportion to
the offence. Others pointed out that a
law passed by Congress should be up
held, and that if the cadets were
restored to the Academy, there would
be no further use in trying to suppress
hazing. Finally the debate was
clinched by a congressman who an
nounced that if the offenders were
reinstated he would offer an amend
ment to the bill permitting the hazers
who were dismissed from West Point
to be returned also. SO the bill was
lost, and the Annapolis cadets Of the
highest class who mal-treated the
young and tender cadets Of the lowest
class, win be forced to return to the
walks Of civil life.

AS the moment for the adjournment
Of Congress drew near, the suppressed
excitement was intense. Every mem
Der was in his seat, and an unusual
silence followed. At O'Clock Mr..
John Sharp Williams, leader Of the
minority, offered his resolution Of
thanks to the Speaker for the impartial
manner in which he had presided
during the session, and for ''the sturdy
common sense and genial good humor"
which he had displayed, Mr.. Jas. d.
Richardson, dem, Of Tenn, had taken
the chair, and Speaker Cannon had
modestly slipped out Of the chamber
The Williams resolution was adopted
by a rising vote, every member spring
ing to his feet. A committee was
appointed to hunt up the Speaker, and
"fetch him in." He was found out in
Statuary Hall gazing at the figure Of
the first speaker Of the first American
Congress, Muhlenberg, of Pa. As he
came into the chamber, leaning on the
arm Of Mr. Williams, there was lusty
cheering and wild waving ofhandker-
chiefs The Speaker was visibly
affected, and had to struggle to conro
his emotions. With his brief return ot
thanks, and the fall Of the gavel al
exactly twenty minutes past two
O'Clock, the session passed into history
and the Representatives began to sins
"America, followed by "Doxology.'
The Speaker descended the steps ofhi
desk, and shook hands with eacl
member as he fled past into the cloal
rooms.

evident that there has been an attempt
on the part Of many democrats, to
impress the people with the notion
that the President Is an unsafe man,
and has too much influence with the
party controlling Congress. Mr.. Aid

Not Done by Women

In an editorial upon the reports of
the newspapers regarding the part
taken by women in the Denver election
frauds the Denver, Colorado Times
says:
1" 1t is regarded as a fine joke that
the Shafroth incident occurred in
state in which the women have the
ballot The fact that fraud exists in
Colorado appears as proof that women
are degenerating and politics made
more wicked by their participation.
Why not urge, ON the other hand, that
the only man who ever failed to fight
"a contest to a finish, and who had
honor enough to leave an Office because
his election was tainted with fraud,
was the product of feminine con-
stituency? One line of reasoning is as
reasonable as the other.
''Mr. Shafroth has already indig-
nantly denied that women were re-
sponsible in any appreciable degree
for the frauds perpetrated in the cleo
tion which gave him a majority.
''This is mquestionabIy true. The
actual individuals implicated in fraud
in any election are but few. The
number who manipulate these are a
still smaller number. Women form
but small proportion Of the first
group and none of the latter, so that
the number of women who are actual
ly implicated in political ehicanery
is 50 small that they are scarcely
known to exist at all.
'Gf Colorado women's direct pOwel
has not accomplished Augean feats

Of the women in other places attained
Women as well as men in Colorado
have done their best to get at th'
fundamental causes that produce cor
ruption. 1t looks as If the end wer
nearly gained. The rope has beel
given and the crooks and their em
