line. hay Is one
Of the younger democrats in the house
but he is recognized as one Of the safest
leaders and his resolution calling for
the post Office investigation, which was
responsible for all the recent rumpus,
has still further enhanced his prestige.
For three congresses now Hay has
been chairman of the democratic eau
Gus, and If anything were to happen
to John Sharp Williams the chances
are that Hay would succeed Williams
as the democratic leader on the floor.
He is not flowery orator and makes
no pretence at anything of the kind,
but when he talks he carries conviction
and there is no man in the house who
has greater success in securing the
enactment of legislation outside of par
ty lines.
Hay belongs to the practical group of
southern statesmen, among whom Cor
man, Of Maryland, and Martin, of Vir-
ginia, are excellent types. If he came
from a northern state he would I'M
doubtedly take rank among the leaders
of the national democratic organiza-
ton.

Tangiers is foremost of any of the

There seems to be no question that
the facts in the compilation were
brought together at Mr.. Bristow's re-
quest in order to justify certain state
ments he had made with reference to
congressman who have brought inf1u-
ence to bear at the department..
AS to the publication of the report
with the unfortunate advertising of in
nocent men, it develops that Chairman
Overstreet was undoubtedly, and with
the best intention In the world, respon-
sible for that part Of the programme.
AS to the substance of the report, 1t
develops that a great hullabaloo was
raised over a very trivial affair and
that nobody is seriously smirched. But

importance to Tangiers. It was once
famous for elephant tusks, ostrich
plumes and gold dust, brought from the
far east by camel caravans, but an
eastern outlet has been found for these
articles, and now guns, almonds, hides
goat, sheep and calf skins, and hair
olive oil, beans, wool, maize and wal
nuts comprise the chief exports. Salli
Rabat is famed for its pottery and
Its carpets Of very bright colors. Sam
is also an important port, but Lariche
and Casablanca are Insignificant. Ma
logan, on the other hand, cannot fail
to assume great Importance as a port
when Morocco is opened up to the out
side world. Location and natural ad-
vantages give it the lead over other
ports.
Morocco is exceedingly crude and
backward in manufactures. The meth
DDS employed are very primitive. In
agriculture, also, the implements and
methods are such that the country does
not produce but very small part of
that which its rich soil is capable. This
being trGe, when Morocco becomes
opened uD and adopts the new ideas of
the west and employs modern machin-
cry and tools, she will prove a most
desirable market for American goods
Of that character.
Little is known of the mineral re-
sources of Morocco, owing to the pre-
JUDGE of the people to the prospecting
of foreigners or the opening up of ex-
listing mines by modern mine machin-
cry. But it is more than likely that
rich deposits of many of the metals
exist, and when they are discovered, as
they will be some day, and are worked
by machinery of approved type, Ameri-
can machinery will find a good market
there.

Certain developments in the rela-

ultimately result to the advantage Of
the United States. 1t is learned on good
authority at the French capital that if
the control of that country is extended
over Morocco, it will result in equality
of trade conditions being conferred up
on all countries alike. This would mean
an open door policy which would be
welcome to the commercial interests
OF the United States, as it would pro-

the old-timers about the halls of con-

Legislation by unanimous consent
has long been regarded as one of the
peculiar prerogatives of the upper
branch of congress, but until the pres
ent session nobody fully realized to
what an extent it could be carried
when there was a general disposition
to abandon Washington to the discom-
forts of summer. Appropriation bills,
which ordinarily would take weeks for
consideration in committees and dis
cussion on the floor, have this time
taken hardly as many days, and there
has been no appearance of undue haste
or of mad eagerness to get through at
that.
