and these may Be repeated by their authors

is that the President has done what the
Senate by the constitutional two-thirds
would not authorize and by his act has In

observations to make on what his enemies
characterize as the Presidents lawless and
headstrong methods will prepare to make

Con gress in the Fall.

Representative Keifer of Ohio said to
reporter Of The Star on Monday:
IT have not talked with the President
about the matter and have not the least
idea what his intentions are, but / am not
inclined to think there will be an extra
session The Senate committee that Is at
work on the question of railroad rates will
pr obably get it's work well in hand by the
time of the regular session, when 1t will be
able to make report. Extra sessions are
frequently the source of friction. and / am
disposed to think that the regular session
next winter will be able to give the people
whatever legislation Is desired as to rail-
road matters"
General Keifer Is a legislator of expert
ence but probably he appraises congress
sional matters more by the standard Of
twenty years ago. when he left Congress,
than by those of today. Those of today
strongly suggest the advisability OF an extra
session, with October as the time.
We may all hope that the railroad-rates
problem. and the tariff-revision problem and
other important problems will receive a
good deal of attention in the next few
months. 1t ought to be possible for Con-
gress, whether 1t meets In October or Mo-
vember, or December, to start of promptly
with clear idea Of what II within It's pow

PHYSICAL Culture.

Young ladies are now devoting to
physical culture enough energy to run
the machinery of the world. 1t is well
on many accounts that they seek to build
up their strength, and among these rea-
sons is the fact that it requires a robust
constitution to withstand high heels,
tight stays, marshmallows and pickles.
A woman needs full measure of physi-
cal training to enable her to resist the
numerous deteriorating tendencies of
modern life. 1t would really seem that
some young ladies fear old age much
that they take rash measures to keep
from growing old. 1t may be they fancy
1T might reflect on their goodness not to
die young. Young ladies who have not
the time or means or physical capacity to
work like field laborers in the gymnas-
ium can often secure proper develop
ment of arm or chest by helping mother.
Really, some good physical culture is to
be obtained in this way, and there are
some domestic arts the diligent practice
of which tends not only to expand the
chest, but also the heart and head.

ers on such subjects. But even then VIII
come the debates, with the minority play
Ing for advantage, and. as armed with the
rules of the Senate. In a position to make
itself felt. A national campaign will
be approaching and the majority will
want to get away as early and the minority
as late as possible. Especially as regards
the tariff we may expect the democrats to
maneuver for delay. A new tariff bill only
two months old would suit their purposes
for the stump better than one four or five
months old.
There will be good deal at stake at the
next session. Business Of various kinds
will be presented for attention. The rail-
roads are not half so quiescent as they now
appear. They are going to make fight
against surrendering any OF their present
privileges. Likewise will the great indus
tries that are now enjoying a degree OF
protection to which they are not in fairness
entitled fight against the effort to curtail
their bounties. They are organizing for
contest to equal the most stubborn they
have ever put up. And then we have to re-
member the Santo Domingo affair, to be
taken up again, and not unlikely Vene-
zuelan affair, and questions which may
grow out of the situation as it may then
appear in the far east.
Congress should get to work as soon as
possible, and October will not be too soon
Wanderers will have returned from Europe

attention from those in the public's COM

Santo Domingo.

We may all be certain of this much: No
Domingo prior to the meeting of the Ameri-
can Congress. If any power was In doubt
as to the situation growing out of the fail
ure of the Senate to vote on the Santo Do
mingo treaty, that doubt is now removed.
The President makes 1t plain that the
treaty is still pending, and will be taken up
again as soon as the Senate reassembles.
1t will not be in order therefore for any
power to interfere. All powers, indirectly
are respectfully notified to hold their horses
and await the Senate's formal response to
the Presidents proposition. Presumably
when the Senate reassembles, the President
will address 1t on the subject of this recess
action and renew his efforts to have the
treaty ratified. His belief in the wisdom
of the course he is pursuing Is profound,
and he has the Endorsement OF the leaders
of his party. in the Senate and out OF 1t.
IT is to be regretted that the question has
taken on something of a party aspect, but.
as 1t has, it is important that the President
has his party behind him.
But If outside powers are to remain quiet,
no such condition is likely to prevail here
at home. We may expect a warm renewal
of the discussion and the whole subject TO
DO canvassed in an animated way. There
were some sharp things said by the OPPOSE
,tion while the Senate's doors were closed.

Gov Folk in New York last night dis
closed himself in a new form. The honest
man, the fearless official, the resourceful
reformer we knew, but not the epigram-
matist. We now know that he can put his
case in small compass when he chooses,
and with striking effect. Epigrams. to be
sure, are not always safe. They are some
times misleading. But that manner of
statement may be made the vehicle for
much truth and good when fashioned by
the right sort of man, and the epigrams
coined by the governor of Missouri and
put in circulation in his latest public add
dress have the right ring. This man is
wearing well. He is undoubtedly of the
right kind. He means what he says, and
stands for what he means He did not
get all he wanted in the way of legislation
at the hands of the recent Missouri assem-
bly,, but he asked for nothing that did not
bear examination, and which. If enacted
into law. would not have benefited the peo-
pie of the state. He is commanding more
and more all the time the attention and re-
spect of the country, and District Attorney
Jerome did not put him into too high
class when he named him among the most
prominent and useful men now in public
life.

A Marble Municipal Building

with the material for the new munfcipal
building finally chosen there should be no
further delay in the prosecution of the
work of construction. A series of obstacles
IN the path of progress has now been sue
cessfully overcome. 1t took many wears
to gain the consideration by Congress of
the bare idea that the District needed
new official home and then several ses-
sions OF Congress. elapsed before action
was had and a site chosen for the purpose.
When that was done the Commissioners
after having plans drawn for the structure.
found that 1t would be impossible to erect
1t in fitting material for the money which
Congress proposed should be spent They
urged upon Congress the extension of the
cost limit, and it was not until the very
closing days of the session that the addi-
ton of 100000 was granted. Then came
the discovery that since the first estimates
were made the cost of building material
had so far advanced that it would be inn
possible to procure the kind of stone that
the members of the building commission
tentatively preferred, and there was some
doubt whether the structure could in fact
be executed with the originally planned
ornamentation for the amount available.
But by wise modification of certain fea-
BILE to produce the building in white marble
which meets the requirements and for a
cost which will not crowd the appropria-
ton dangerously.
So now there is nothing in the way of ad-
vancement. The site will soon be ready
and the stone will begin to rise, course on
course, as a tangible token to the long
waiting people of Washington that the
period of national neglect is drawing to an
end. In the course of few months this
sign of release from humiliating conditions
will be well advanced in development. In
a few seasons the District government will

a waif, at the mercy of Congress and land
lords. 1t will be enabled to maintain itself
with the dignity appropriate to the capital
of the nation. 1t will present. on the city's
chief thoroughfare. handsome front, con-
spicuously in evidence and inspiring to the
pride of citizens.
The stone selected is in conformity with
the general plan of erecting only white
public buildings in Washington in the
future. 1t should work up into a handsome
structure and add to the attractiveness of
Washington. Whatever may have been
the relative merits of marble and granite,
the chief purpose was to obtain monu-
mental stone that would express the archi-
tectural concept and lie within the some
what narrow limitations of the appropra-
ton, even with it's enlargement. The re-
suit promises to be eminently satisfactory
to the community.

Warfare Against Cigarettes.

From the Hoboken On j. Observer.
The anti-cigarette crusade, which appears
to have again broken out in Jersey City,
should be encouraged and made practical.
The present agitation unfortunately is like
ly to prove merely another of those moral
spasms'' that occasionally sweep all
communities. The real effective warfare
against the deadly cigarette is that con-
stantly waged by principals and teachers
in the public and parochal schools. Their
vigilance and admonitions unceasing
and impressive. The habit, bad and wide
spread as it is, is not so general as it was,
"a. least as far children in the schools
are concerned. This all authorities agree
upon. And no thanks, either, to super
abundant legislation.

Hail to the Hen!

Folk.
Hail to the hen! Bird of contented mien,
Pattern of prudence; thrifty and serene.
Let giles soar into the distant blue;
The fence-rail still is good enough for you.
For well you know that they who soar too
high
Are like to take a tumble, by and by. =
You envy none their treasures, but proceed
To make yourself mine of wealth, indeed.
You hunt no craggy home in lofty air,
But seek the hay-mow, since you are aware
That simple joys are sweetest, after ALL
And likewise that pride goes before a fall.
Although your praises never may be heard
With such fine phrases as proud freedoms
Bird
Though speeches seldom mention you at
length,
You are an emblem of the nations strength.
You make no boast of song or fine display
But mind your own affairs from day to day.

THIEVES CHLOROFORM TURKEYS:
SMUGGLE VALUABLE BIRDS AWAY

Turkeys. chickens and chicken wire
to the value of several hundred dollars
were stolen from the premises of Henry
Behrens, located at 2117 San Pedro
street, about 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The robbery, which is one of the most
unique in the history of Los Angeles,
and certainly the greatest piece of
work ever carried out by chicken
thieves, was accomplished without the
accompaniment of the usual cackle of
the disturbed slumbers of the feathered
fraternity.
How the robbers ever accomplished
the deed without creating a general
panic in the neighborhood is a mystery
the police have decided to not attempt
to solve. Theories have been advanced
that the fowls were chloroformed.
Other theories are based upon the sup
positions that sulphur was sprinkled
In the chicken yard, which acts as a
drug on feathered animals.
Still another supposition is that an
aperture was made In the inclosure
and the birds quietly led away from
home by the seed sprinkled trail"
More than one-half of the Los An
geles police force worked on the case
all day yesterday, but night found
them as far from the solution of the
problem as they were when they COM
menced.
Every theory was shattered like brit
tie glass in a sudden contact with a
cannon ball. When the detectives went
off duty their heads ached with seven
brands of pains. Their outside appear
ances mirrored the riotous chaotic

The surviving victims of automobile
accidents Saturday are confined to beds
of agonizing suffering in their homes
and at the hospitals, and the police are
searching for those responsible for the
accidents which dealt out an unparal-
leled series of death and painful if not
fatal injuries to the victims.
H. r. Angelo, who was driving the
automobile which struck the carriage
occupied by Eugene r. Titus and wife
at Pico and Hill streets, was arrested
and released on $50 bail. He was ordered
to appear in police court this morning.
1t is not known at police headquarters
whether the charge will be that of vio-
lating the speed ordinance or will be
permitted to remain as it was originally
made. f. e. Kendall was also arrested,
but was later released.
John Doe warrants have been issued
for the arrest of the speed maniacs who
were participants in the collision at
Jefferson and Figueroa streets, as their
identity is unknown to the police.
One Dead, Nine Injured
The total number of accidents for
Saturday is four and the net result is
one death and nine persons severely
injured.
Mrs. II. T. Austin and her niece, Miss
Edith Policy, accompanied f. e. Ken
dali and c. G.. Davis on an auto ride

While in this position a street car
turned the corner and before the fright
ened occupants realized their danger
the car struck their automobile and
hurled the four occupants into the
street.
Mrs. Austin died within five minutes
as result of injuries sustained, and her
niece, Miss Policy, is believed to Oe
dying at the Good Samaritan hospital.
AS by a miracle Davis and Kendall
escaped with but slight injuries and
bruises. The huge touring car was

SAYS WE MUST LOVE ENEMIES

Love Your Enemies and Bless Them
That Curse You" was the topic of Rev.
Thomas F. Fahey yesterday morning
at the Cathedral of st. Vibiana. Father
Fahey dwelt at length upon the words
of st. Matthew and st. Paul on this
subject.
"Our nature rebels at the command
of God to love those who hate, offend
and injure us and who are disagree
able and repulsive' said the speaker.
"Our nature and self-love have the
greatest repugnance to it, and both
recoil and tremble at the great and
difficult question of loving our enc
mics.
IF to love our enemies is repugnant
to nature it must be founded on A
love that has supernatural motive.
To love our enemies for the sake of
God is the distinguishing character
of a true Christian. Any soul prac-
tcng this command of God for his
sake is a soul very near and dear
to his sacred heart.
"One of the reasons why we are
bound to love our enemies is that they
are included as 'neighbors.' They have
been redeemed by Gods precious blood,
were made to his image and likeness,
are recipients of his grace and were
made to glorify him in this world as
well as in the next. Besides, their
faults are those of our own. 1t takes
great effort to love our enemies, but
we rise to a supreme height in the
estimation and presence of God by
loving them because it pleases him.
THE lesson that we are to make our
own is that by making a practice of
loving our enemies we are practicing
and acquiring those Christian virtues
-meekness, resignation, modification
and self-denial-that Christ himself
laid down for us in the Sermon on
the Mount.
What would have become of us
il our Lord had attributed his cup of
bitterness to the malice of the Jews
and refused to obey Gods holy will?
He is our great instructor, especially
in the meek and patient way he re-
oeived injury and insult. Since it is
the eternal will of God that we suffer
wrongs, let us at least be men of
Christian spirit to receive and suffer
them for his sake"
