Washington, Jan. 12.-Nothing is
quite so dun In Congress as a debate
on a dead measure. Hence It Is that
very little interest is being taken i'm the
bin TO improve currency conditions
which has been dragging along IN the
house II makes no difference whether
It is voted up or down, the fact re-
mains that It cannot pass the senate,
and everybody knows IT, This measure
would perhaps improve the currency
conditions. Representative hin Of Con-
necticut. the author Of the bill, has so
proved in a number Of speeches which
he has made IN advocating the bill, The
debate may be useful to men VINO give
attention to the financial questions but
so far no one outside OF those who
make the subject study has PAID
any attention to IT, As the bill VIII
never become law the discussion
may be intended for future sessions OF
Congress.
IT DEPENDS ON INFLUENCE
at all depends upon the man at the
other end OF the avenue remarked a
man who was opposing the joint state
hood bin. 1T is my idea that the
prt sldent is behind Beverage I'm the
fight he is making for the bill which IN
tends to drag a territory INTO the
Union whether II wants TO come or
not. If the president urges the pas
sage of the bin on other senator's ne
may succeed i'm getting II through, The
fact that the Republican side Is d.
vlded and that many Republican sen
utors oppose the measure would lndl-
cate that the president Is not taking
such very active interest IN the pm
NEVER LACKS DEFENDERS.
Socy. Wilson of the agricultural de-
partmeut is beyond question the most
popular cabinet officer that ever held "A
similar position and held IT as long, now
nearly eight years. occasionally some
one arises on the floor and attacks MN
or his department, but there is "a rush
OF members to defend, and they are not
oil ON one side of the party aisle either
Democrats as well az Republicans come
forward to testify that Wilson Is con
ductmg his department so AZ to accom-
plish the greatest amount Of good. II
is "A fact that Is not disputed that Ia
ma lin" rs some of his old tmc
friends call him because he halls from
/ Tama. Ia, works all the time Tor the
benefit of the agriculturist ana makes
| his department Of great value To the
! farmer. Nearly every man IN Con-
| press If ne comes from an agricultu-
raj region, swears by Wilson.
FRIDAY, THE 18TH
Tho senate committee on interstate
commerce has selected Friday the 18TH
of January. for beginning the consld-
GRAFTON of bills TO amend the Interstate
commerce law These bills are on
many different kinds but most or them
have for their purpose the turther re-
strlctlon Of railroads Now, what
chance have these bills got2' asked a
man who is interested IN the legllsla-
ton Friday, the 18TH, Is sure TO moo,
400 them" But they were defeated
before the date was fixed.
THE LAWS DELAY"
Complaint is made, and with seeming
good reason, to the delay of the law
where rich men are involved. This has
been illustrated in the trials Of the men
Involved I'm the postotilce graft cases
Every possible method OF delaying pun
ishment to convicted criminals has
been used, and the latest effort Is to
have the supreme court of the united
states pass upon the cases An appeal
has already been taken from the trial
court TO the court Of appeals, involving
very long delay, and now more time
is consumed by an appeal TO the high
est court Men with money can con-
duct these long drawn out suits while
a poor man would have been serving
his term In prison.
WILL ROSE COME BACK?
The senate loses one Of It's most eff
Client officers In chief Clerk Henry NJ.
Rose. yet ne makes a wise selection in
taking an office NJ home instead Of re-
naming here in Washington, Any olll-
cial who stays too long In Washington
loses touch with home folks and IS not
likely 10 secure their Endorsement for
something better when the time comes
1t was whispered among Michigan men
i'm Washington that In the course Of
time Rose would return to Washington
as a member OF Congress. The implica-
ton was that some time I'm the future
William Alden Smith. who has long
represented the Grand Rapids district
would retro and that Rose would be
his successor IN the house of represent
tatiyes.
