THEY GUARD SPECIAL INTERESTS
Elected by People, Many Soon Stand
for Private Greed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The bur-
den of the increasing complaint against
the senate of the United States is that
it contains too many men who have
extensive private interests that are
likely to be hampered by general legis-
lation, and too many men who while
without interests of their own, owe
their election to special interests that
must be protected in time of danger.
Undoubtedly the whole body is fire.
quently maligned unjustly, but one
does not have to go far to find facts
to substantiate the allegation that SEN
ators occasionally put their private in
terests above the public welfare.
The history of statehood legislation
for the past two or three years reveals
many facts that are anything but cred
liable to the senate. Down under the
surface of the prolonged contest over
the admission of the four territories to
the union the real struggle took place,
and it involved, not the highest well
fare of the union, but the interests of
individuals and corporations it has
been made to appear that political
considerations were involved, but as
compared with other considerations
thew were a small factor in the con-
test.
Influence as to Statehood.
It is notorious that the late Senator
Ouay maintained the long deadlock in
the fifty-seventh congress at the re-
quest of Pennsylvanians who had in
vestments in the territories, and 1T is
of record that at least one senator
who voted on the bill last week has
nrivate interests down there that were
on his mind when the bill was before
the senate Senator Alger of Michigan
is the man. In the course of the de-
hate he interrupted to say that he had
talked with some of the people in Ari-
iona who were opposed to uniting that
territory with New Mexico.
Il made some investments down
there" he said, that I will Sell in
minute if this bill goes through"
The railroads exerted powerful nfiu-
ence against the measure, and its fail
ure to go through the senate in the
e,,,, IL, which, If ma SS1d the house can,
undoubtedly, be charged to the infiu-
ence of men who have large invest
ments in the territories, and to the
railroads who wanted at least six sem
ators and eight if possible out of the
territories.
PIatt and Express Interests.
G. w. Post of Battle Creek, Mich.
declares ne is ready to prove that, but
for the opposition of Senator Platt OF
New York, congress would enact a law
providing for a post-check system of
making small remittances by mail.
The allegation the Battle Creek man
makes is that Plat is opposed to the
proposed new method of making re-
mittances because it would injure the
business of the express company
of which the senator is the directing
head. Mr.. Post has not been able to
get his Indictment of the New York
senator presented officially, and it is

probable he never will get it before the
senate. Senatorial courtesy" stands
in the way of any of Platt's associates
offering the document and, of course,
the accused senator will not submit it
himself
1t does seem to many persons that
the charge, coming from reputable
business man of large means, ought to
be investigated. The post-check sys-
tenn which Mr.. Post brought to the
attention of the committee on postof-
fees and postroads in the two
branches of congress two or three
years ago impressed everybody favor
ably. The late Postmaster General
Payne Endorsed the scheme unreserv-
edly.
The Scheme .Piatt Fears.
Mr.. Posts scheme, briefly, is to
change the form of exising and future
paper currency issued by the United
States of the denomination of 81, SO
and S., except national bank notes,
so that they may at the option of the
holder, be made payable to named
payee. 1t would be provided that the
currency could be made So payable by
filling in certain blank spaces which
would appear on the face of each note.
tot Inran rt1
it was very simple, easily under
stood, and would prove of incalculable
convenience to the public
At first sight congress looked with
favor on the plan, but it soon struck
a snag in the senate, and now Mr.
Post declares Senator Plat is the snag
The express companies did not look
with favor on the plan. Of the $4,000
postoffices in the United States, only
about $4,000 are money order Offices
The express companies are prepared
to transmit money to every town and
hamlet in the land. Under the Post
system, post checks would reach every
postoffice.
1t is we'll understood that the rail-
roads have senators a plenty who are
sent to congress for the purpose of
seeing that harmful legislation is not
enacted. For instance, there is the jo-
vial Chauncey M. Depew, of the New
York Central, a fair man and broad
gage man, on most public questions,
but the fact remains that he represents
the railroads in the senate of the
United States.
1t would be possible to be specific in |
other cases, but the fact that private
interests are directly represented is so
we'll established that it does not seem |
necessary to rehearse details.
This whole subject. of the relation
ship of the senate to private interests,
and especially to corporations, bids |
fair to get a prolonged airing, if, as |
seems probable, the senate shall stand |
out in it's opposition to railroad legis !
latiOn. Adm it will in all probability |
come in for plenty of public discus
sion when President Roosevelt presses
for tariff notifications. 1t can be pre-
dicted with safety that when the
question of changing the tariff sched-
ules comes before the senate, three out
of five senators will have special inte-
be harmed.

Idea that IL the lines could be In some
way let down over some of me choicest
spots in the lake that the result would
be happy one.
Several times this spring be has been
seen going Off in the early morning
with a mysterious bundle under hla
arm, but just what he was up tOzhaa
been a mystery until he invited a,psr4y
of friends to Lake George the otheE

mysterious package proved to bo the
parts OF a sectional kite OF his own ln<
vention. These he quickly Joined to-

siderable dimensions. To the lower
part OF this were fastened a number OF
fish lines attached TO automatic WINS
ing arrangements by which the length
could easily be regulated.
Mr.. Nelson sent up his kite on the

worked Il over the open water. Them

INC Grouping OF Food.

Many otherwise excellent ''provid-
ers" do not seem to understand the
grouping Of food. This may seem an
odd expression, but II means just this,
the keeping Of meals to an average as
far as their nourishing qualities are
concerned. For instance, the heavy,
rich soups, such as pea, bean, mock
turtle and oxtail, should be reserved
for the days when the meat course is
lighter or even absent altogether. To
serve a thick black bean soup with a
roast beef dinner one day and a light
cream soup with a fish dinner the next
is not maintaining the average. This
also applies to desserts. The rich, salts
Tying desserts should be served to help
cut an otherwise limited meal. Most
housewives seem to regard desserts
merely from the standpoint of being
good to taste. As a matter of fact a
