STRENUOUS LEGISLATORS.

Those who are interested in things
strenuous will find Increasing pleasure
In the doings in the House and Senate
these past few days.
In the Senate on Saturday both
friends and foes of the President voted
to amend certain arbitration treaties
pending, Notwithstanding the eX-
pressed wishes If the Executive that
no amendments be added.
This action is egirded as an admo-
milton to Roosevelt against further
usurpation of the Senatorial p,w er.
All the leaders of the Senate oppose
the President and are a unit to pre-
serve the constitutional prerogative of
the Senate

Much excitement prevailed at this

that it would be his p'ide TO incur the

This may all be very interesting tor

they derive from il? Their interests
are in the hands of their representa-

them in Congress, but it seems that
outside of the pass &c Of a few pension
bills and claims, little is done of d.

MILK INSPECTOR FOR FRED.
ERICK.

Owing to the unusual demand now
being made all over the country for
pure milk and sanitary stables for
milk COWS, a MIX Inspector for this
city or county should be- provided by
the next State Legislature. The old
style of slabling cattle; the old style of
keeping aud servinL milk TO the public
should tie thing of the past. In the
modern way of keeping cattle the
most perfect sanitary conditions are to
be observed. TIE cans aud all vessels
used FIR handling milk should be
steamed every day, and in fact steam
lug is absolutely necessary for pure
and clean milk. Boltling is now gen
orally used by all up to d,te dairy
men who serve mi k in towns and
cities. Those who want pure milk for
their children and for their families
should be willing to pay a fair price
for the same. All milk should b. made
to come up to certain standard and
all stables where milk cows are kept
and milk sold should be made to con-
form to certain sanitary conditions.
Then all who comply with these nee
essary requirements should be pub
shed so as to let the public know that
they are being protected.

future session of Congress. In
some respects, the decision of the
House is a disappointment to
members of the Senate, even those
who opposed separate statehood
for New Mexico, because they
hoped to create State out of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
at this session of Congress. In
the Republican caucus there were
thirty three Republicans who OPP
posed tue attitude of the Republi-

of Congress which is dominated
by a little oligarcy composed of

prieter of boarding house in
Texas at which Judge Swayne
stayed and she was introduced by
the prosecution to prove that his
expenses did not amount to $40

woman swore that Swayne stayed
at her house at a cost of $40

he had certified that his expenses
were $500 a month and had drawn
that amount from the U. s.
Treasury on his certificate.

Hon. BoURKE COCHRAN. the able
and eloquent representative from New
York, gave the House a sample of his
oratory and argument in a speech on
the naval appropriation bill. He vio-
lently opposes any increase and 70 d his
hearers his very good and sufficie, t
reasons. Among other things he said
'"The United States had without a
large navy risen to eminence among
the nations Of the world. Some thought
1t time for the United States TO enter
the family of nations. He thought It
preferable for the country to maiutain
Its position of isolation-the isolation of
eminence. The true strength of the
nation was not to be found in its fort
resses or ships, but in the strength and
manhood of its men. No nation could
make as much out of conquest Of other
lands as it could out of the develnp-
meDt of its own land. The old doc
trine, now exploded, was that the true
way to prosperity was through the
conquest Of other lands. This country
should stand fast to its traditions, and
not 60 ahead in the direction of world
conquest. even though it had crossed
the threshold in that direction His
speech throughout was noted for its
strength and beauty Of expression.

APPLY FOR ROAD PPOR.
TIONMENT AT ONCE.

The Court of Appeals having declar-
! ed in a decision announced February
9th. that the Shoemaker Road Law is
constitutional, nothing nov stands in
the way of the State and counties work
ing shoulder to shoulder to obtain that
greatest of all bonns to rural commune
ties-good roads. T Highway Divi-
sion of the Maryland Geological Survey
has everything prepared and, in some
cases, surveys made so that there can
tie no delay in starting in on the work
if the County Commissioners only do
their share, and apply promptly and
before March ISt, 1905.
The attrartiveness of the law as a
business proposition is 20 self-evidrnt as
to need no elaboration. The examples
of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York and Connecticut furnish data and
living examples of the good that must
inevitably follow improved roads. Pro-
gres-ive communities invariably have
good roads or are attaining that end as
rapidly as commensurate with good
financial management, and conversely,
good roads invariably indicate progress
sive communities. No matter how at
tractive a county or section may be
otherwise, the wide-aw Ike man in

first thing that appeals to or repels WISH

THE Smith-Jackson election contest

Mayor Timanus Will Appoint

An article in last fridays Sun
says: ''Mayor Timauus has de
cided to reappoint Mr.. Conway
W. Sans as president of the
Appeal Tax Court. and to appoint
former Comptroller James II.

understood that the Republican
majority of the branch will con-
firm the appointments.
The probable selection of Judge
Sans and Mr.. Smith was an
nounced about month ago. At
that time the Mayor had decided
to appoint Judge Sans if a Dem
ocrat was selected. Mr.. Smiths
appointment was being consid-
cred. Three weeks ago it was
known that the Mayor wonld
select Judge Sans, but it was
not until yesterday that it was
definitely known that Mr.. Smith
would accept the position. The
latter has had the tender of the
office under advisement for some
time. He will notify the Mayor
today of his acceptance.
The only question in h e
Mayors mind was whether Dem
ocrats or Republicans should he

Solicitor Poe Mayor Timanus
secured the opinion that tue ma
jority of all boards and commits
siOus must be Democrats. under
the terms of the charter. Last
Wednesday Solicitor Bruce con-
firmed his deputy's opinion and
advised the Mayor to appoint
Democrats. Although strong
pressure has been brought to bear
on him to appoint Republicans,
the Mayor deemed it advisa bic
to refrain from legal entangle.

Sans and Mr.. Smith were Sc.

Judge Sans was appointed by
former Mayor Hayes, qualifying
