United States ought to be called to
go out and work for his living like
any other old man, after he has
been in the White House. That
is, some occupation that might
have been all right for him before
his Presidency might not be so
afterward." Mr.. Maynard says
he has heard no one comment
unfavorably on the measure at all.

An exchange says that William
Henrico one evening at restaurant ate
twenty eight bananas and, smacking
his lips, declared the last one tasted
just as good as the first. Another
exchange, noting the fact, says,
"Chester White, north of this place,
ate fourteen ears of corn, . pumpkins
and drank bucket of swill, and then
rubbed his bristics up against the
fence and grunted for more" Honors

Judge J. H. Richards of Webster
City, declares that in his judgment
the Cooper -Quarles bill, the Haugen
bill and all of the other measures
offered in congress to vitalize the in
terstate commerce commission are un-
constitutional and attempt impossible
things. The measures pending before
congress, in their present form, in the
opinion of Judge Richards, attempt to
give the inter state commerce commits
sion judicial powers, to limit the
powers of courts of equity and to give
the courts legislative or rate making
powers. None of these things, in his
Judgment, is possible. He recon-
mended the passage of an act which
will give the interstate commerce COM
mission the power, which the supreme
court has said that it may have under
the constitution, to fix rates; which
will permit either the commission to
proceed in court to enforce its orders
or the railroads to proceed to enjoin
the enforcement of the order; which
will give the commission power to de-
clare its orders effective at certain
date, under penalty, unless action is
begun by the railroads to restrain |;
which will provide that appeal shall
not operate to stay the decree Of the
court; which will establish sufficient
number Of courts to quickly decide
transportation cases which shall be
heard by this class Of courts exclusive
ly; and which will enlarge the COM
mission sufficiently to make it possible
for it to hear and act promptly on
complaints. Such an act. he believes,
would be constitutional with the pos
sible exception of the penalty and GER
tain date clauses, but whose defect, if
one appeared, would not be fatal to
the measure.

The patent Office is one of the few
bureaus Of the government that pays
its way and adds to the government
revenue. Since 1887 it has been turn
ing into the treasury of the United
States large sums of money, the
amount this year approximating $40,
600. This, it will be understood, is a
surplus after all the expenses of the
department are paid. 1t is stated in
the patent Office that the year 1904
will exceed all others in the number
of patents issued. More than 80, 00(
were issued in 1908, but the figures
for 1904 will be in excess Of So, 900.
This gives some idea of the mechanical
progress of the United States.

has to be elected three times in'succes.

Theodore Roosevelt: On the 9Th day

Recently the presidential electors of
