One OF those who has gone cut il
Leon Solomon, who has run the fruit
and confectionery store in the old Co.
lunbia theater building at 2Io Washing
ton avenue south for eight years. Not
withstanding that he has been doing
a good business he has sold ont his
store and in a few days will be located
on his claim a few miles from Ashley.
N. ID. Not far from him will be Louis
Wolfson, B. Wechsler, Sam Rabinowitz.
b. Solomon and three others from this
, CITY,, who filed or their homesteads this
fall and will abandon their, various occri-
pations in Minneapolis in order to take
Iup the life of the farmer. In a few
weeks eight or ten others from this city
will follow. asl
Mr.. Solomon SAYS that there IS no
Organization behind the movement, nor
is there any attempt to form q colony.
Each man is going out for himself, and
it happens that they get near each other,
as some of the best government land
open to homesteaders is. in Mcintosh
county. it
All these men will be located between
Ashley and Lehr. All are married men
with families and nearly all have had
more or less experience as agricultural
ists. Mr.. Wechsier had a farm. in tliis
state for many years, while Mr.. Rabino-
witt, who now has a dairy. had a farm
in New Jersey for many years. Accord
ing to Mr.. Solomon, the land in McIn-
tosh county is better adapted for stock
raising than for general agriculture, al
though the old settlers are quite well SAT-
isRed with their crops this year.

MILLIONS ARE WASTED
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES or CON-
GRESS ARE ENORMOUS
Yet a Congressional Committee Will
Investigate Executive Departments
to Find Out How Government
Spends so Much Money

Congress is starting in to pass a
fine-tooth comb through the execu-
tive departments, for the purpose OF
discovering and identifying any small
parasites Of graft which may be prey
ing unsupported upon the body polite.
It is an expedient pregnant with pos
sibilities, and has the special advan-
tage of distracting attention from the
real and important offenders, who are
the senators and representatives them
selves. For it is not going too far
to say that the extravaganza and
stupidity of the Legislators who sit
under the dome of the dome OF the
capitol at Washington cost the peo-
pie every year not less than fifty
millions of dollars. This, indeed is
probably an underestimate.
Millions Of Books Rotting
In the basement of the capitol mil
lions of books are literally rotting
away-many of them really valuable
documents, but unobtainable by any
body who wants them. Among them
are hundreds of thousands Of copies
Of the year book of the department
of agriculture, which the department
itself would be exceedingly glad to
get, it's own supply being insufficient
to meet the demand

Lemonade and Perfumes

Representatives in congress are
compelled to feel direct responsible
ity to the constituents, and this serves
to some extent as a restraint on ex
travagance. With the senate, how
ever it is otherwise, and attacks made
upon the notorious abuses of the So
called contingent fund, for example,
have been wholly devoid of effect.
This fund is made to cover a multi
tude of utterly improper items-such
as, just for one instance, Appolinaris
lemonade, which in warm weather,
when a session extends into the sum-
mer, is supplied in unlimited guam
titles and free Of charge III the cloak
rooms of the upper house. A recent
report to the secretary OF the senate
shows an expenditure OF about $3.50
for this purpose, representing the cost
OF forty cases of Appolinaris, thirty
FIVE boxes of lemons, and one thou
sand two hundred pounds OF sugar.
The senate consumes In every
twelvemonth about thirty-four gallons
of the finest cologne, most of which Is
purchased In bulk, allowing a quart
and a pint for each member of tho
upper house. One ought surely TO be.

form, and the speeches delivered In
their praise on the legislative floor are
reproduced, in each instance, in a
volume which costs from $500 up.
From ten to twenty-five thousand
copies Of this volume are distributed,
fifty going to the family of the defuncf
statesman, and nearly all of the rest
finding their way sooner or later to
the junk shops Each such book
must have a portrait, which costs in
variably $34. Bound eulogies have
run up as high as $10,S12. and the
bill for them, which is paid by the
people. averages about $4,000 a year.
Army of Employees
The capitol is large building, and
it maintenance might reasonably be
expected to cost good deal Of money;
but, as matter of fact, the extraya-
gance of it's management is on scale
nothing short Of colossal There are
more than twelve hundred employees,
of whom four hundred and fifty-one
are ON the pay roll OF the senate alone
mot counting seventy-two police
men, ..Who look out for the safety of
the structure and it's contents for
the relatively moderate stipend Of
$4,000 year. One is naturally puz-
zled to imagine why ninety gentle
men, incidentally to the performance
of legislative business, should require
four hundred and fifty-one persons to
assist and wait upon them. The
secret Of it is, of course, that the
people pay the wages.
The house of representatives, which
has three hundred and eighty-six mem
bers, employs seven hundred and
| forty-three people, including small
army of private secretaries, each
member being entitled to such an as
sistant, paid by the public at 500 a

DEFENDER OF ROCKEFELLER.

Rev Dr. Charles Herald Of Bethesda
/ congregational church. Brooklyn. is
one of the latest Rockefeller defenders.
In the course of a recent sermon, he
said:
Now look a moment at this man and
his gift. He is a good man. He honors
God ia his life and hOnors his church.
He brings up his children to do the
same. How comes it that his son is a
leader of a Bible class, honored and
respected by $50 men, and the son of
another millionaire comes out of d Chi
nese joint to his death? Do you think
if this man had got his money by lille
gal, corrupt and unfair means that he
would have ever made such a display of
religion ! hold that d man who gets
his money unrighteOusIy will spend it
unrighteousiy. Do you mean to say
that God would have not been better
pleased to have seen the millions spent
on the new Belmont race course sent
out 10 convert the worId?'
The Rockefeller gift has drawn forth
some amazing statements from preach
ers all over the country, but nothing to
equal this. Just how DR.. Herald recon-
Giles his reasoning with the known facts
we do not pretend to understand. nor do
we greatly care in view of the paIpabIe
motive underlying his remarks.
Mr.. Rockefeller should do something
handsome for DR.. HeraId's church.
