THE PRESIDENT IN MUCH DEMAND
Hundreds of Towns and Cities Have
Invited Him tn Visit Them During
the Spring and Summer-The Power
of Public Opinion.

Washington, Jan. "a. - Especial. =
can extra session of congress or an au-
thorization of battleships in the naval
BILL" is said to have been the way the
| president discussed the subject with
members of congress. II hear that is
what he said," remarked one of the
Republican leaders of the house. and
SO far as L am concerned we will have
mn extra session, for | will do all |
can to prevent any more battleships or
cruisers being authorized at this time.
! We have nine of these vessels on the
ways now and have more ships COM
! pleted than we can man. 1t viii take
three years to complete the vessels al
ready authorized, and if we refuse TO
make provision for ships this session 1t
will not interfere with the building of
the navy or cut down work in the ship
yards. There is enough work on hand
without any more ships" That kind
Of talk, coming from Il congressional
leader of prominence, indicates de

Want the President.
The president has accepted many in
vitations for next spring and has many
more under advisement. Hundreds Of
towns and cities have sent delegations
here to ask the president to visit them
during the spring and summer. In
fact, it has come to be joke here that
there may be few places in the cOun-
try which have not yet invited the
president to visit them, but there is no
reason why they should not do So
Aside from his official work, the presi-
dent will have Il great deal TO do next
summer as visiting statesman.
Power of Public Opinion.
There are many ways OF bringing in
fluence to bear on congress, but be-
yond all question publicity is the great
est weapon that has ever been used.
A paragraph stating that the chances
were against the passage of a river
and harbor bill at this session was
widely circulated. Then pressure was
brought upon members OF the house ID
such an extent that the committee Oh
rivers and harbors was compelled to
yield. The leaders Of the house were
against the bill. 1t was believed that
the condition of the treasury did not
warrant river and harbor expenditures
at this session. Members of tie commit
tee became very much nerturbel and

Doubtful About Conviction.

decided 10 go ahead with bill.
Doubtful About Conviction.
Very few persons believe that the
senate will convict Judge Swayne on
the impeachment charges voted by the
house. The partisan turn which the
case took in the house indicates that
the senate probably will reject the ar
ticles. The Republicans are nearly
two TO one in the senate. like pro-
portion in the house would no doubt
have prevented the vote for impeach-
ment.
Challenges the senate's Admiration.
Senator Morgan of Alabama does not
speak us often in the senate as for
merly, but when he does talk he has
something to say. The senator does
not speak eXtemporaneously now, but
reads from manuscript. He is a very
old man and does not care TO trust en-
tirely TO his memory in making his
speeches. While the senators do not
listen to him-and, in fact, they would
have to gather about him very closely
in order to hear him-they do read his
speeches in the Record and speak highly
Of them. This refusal to listen to the
venerable Alabama senator was illus
trated the other day when he was
speaking and another senator started to
leave in Il way not to attract attention.
Don't stay on my account" said Nor
gan. Il am not talking TO the senate,
but to the country"
Elkins' Philosophy.
Senator Elkins is one Of the principal
men in Il company which is trying to
secure a franchise for another street
railway in Washington and which has
met with very vigorous opposition. 1t
became evit mt recently that the bill
could not pass the senate this session,
as score of prominent senators were
determined to defeat it, "Oh, yes"
said E.kins, they will beat the bill
this session, but they will have to beat
us ten or dozen times. We only have
TO beat them once"
A Long Look Ahead.
Senator McLaurin Of Mississippi and
Senator Foster Of Louisiana are elect
ed for a longer period than any other
two men. They have certificates en-
titling them TO serve until March 4,
1913. The legislatures of their states
meet but once in four years, and
therefore they ill all senatorial vacan-
cies that occur before any other SEES
sion can be held The legislatures Of
these two sa,es VIII not meet until
after tie present terms Of Senators
McLaurn and Foster expire on March
4. 1907.

A STRIKING PROOF OF THE
GREATNESS OF OUR COUN-
TRY.

Our country is so great that a
primacy in supplying it's demand for
even small things in the aggregate
brings large success This is well
exemplified in the vast strawberry
plant business built up by the Cont
mental Plant Company, Kittrell, n.
@. Beginning a quarter of a cen
fury ago they were pioneers in see
ing that they could afford to sell di-
rect to the people for cash as low or
lower than others sold at wholesale
because the people paid cash with Or
der and there was no DOSAGE in bad
debts as in a wholesale business which
is largely credit business and then
there was no agents and dealers
profits. They have now added a fruit
tree and general nursery business,
selling all such things direct to the
people SO low that n matter how far
they live they cannot only save half
by dealing with them, but get strict
ly frst-class trees, plants, etc. They
will be glad to send their magnif-
Gently illustrated catalogue free.
See their ad. In this issue.
They have a unique advantage as
to soil and location in building up a
great business in strawberry plants
and fruit trees. First they have an
abundance of virgin soil never before
in plants or trees. Then they are on
an island as it were, being surround
ed by a belt of country over 100 miles
broad on which the strawberry is vir-
tually not grown at all and over
which therefore weevil and other
pests and diseases can not spread to
reach them. And there situation as
to fruit trees is no less advantageous,
having a virgin soil and a neighbor-
hood which the closest scientific
search has found to be absolutely free
of all scale and diseases and they are
on the alert to keep it so, the chief
trouble with scale and kindred pests
and diseases being that they got such
a foothold in many places before they
were discovered hat it has become
apparently impossible to stamp them
out.

Was it not a farmers organization
the Alliance-that demanded, and,
against the most determined and al
most insurmountable opposition, Sc

Was it not a farmers organiza-

life out of the Jute bagging trust be-

Was it not a farmers organiza-

learned their needs, kept hamering
on the subject in their sub, county

cured the founding of the State Nor

now the uppermost question on the

Was it not q farmers organization

who offset all those qualities in them and in others
which he lacked by values of his own which they
did not and could not possess.
Study was his gift and his delight, and despite
success his study incessant. He became the
leading member of the Criminal Club of London,
and read essays crime in all its aspects, patho-
logical and social. He joined the Society for
Psychical Research and delighted in original
supernatural Investigations. Fletcher Robinson,
editor of London Vanity Fair an intimate friend
and collaboration of Doyles writes in this connection:

Early recognition by his public would have spoiled
him it has spoiled many. But as the goal eluded
him he strove ever harder to attain it. develop
ing himself in a way that he knew not OF. Finally
he wrote Micah Clarke his first important book.
1t was refused firmly and so consistently by so
many publishers that his courageous spirit grew

important, element in his daily life.

famous creation, had made his introduction year

is an interesting commentary upon the ethical
condition and literary taste OF our time that this
detective has become the most popular, that is
the most widely known character in all existing
literature. He has penetrated all countries and
appeared in all the leading languages of civilization.
1t is doubtless true that the appetite for the detec-
tive is based upon certain elementary impulses
common to all human nature which will make its
vogue undying. But never will the detective of
