Do they mean a place where a spinster

We do not pretend to say what they
mean. All we know Is that they are in

we go about making homes in the right way.

not favorable to. the Presidents
views on the subject.
The passing of the pure food bill
by the Senate was in reality case
of white feather all along the line.
The bill passed by a vote of sixty
three to four, and was a great tri-
umph for the public. 1t has been
we'll known that the Senate was OPP
posed to the passage of the bill be-
cause of the damage it would do
the personal interests of many of the
members, but the public clamor has
arisen to such an extent that the
bill carried, and for once the Senate
went down before a popular demand.
The bill provides for sweeping re-
forms in the preparation and pack
ing of food stuffs, and requires such
| lebeling as will make it possible for
consumers to know precisely the in
gradients Of the articles they buy.
One of its principal objects was the
breaking up of the so-called patent
medicine industry, which has in real
| ity long fourished as an alcohol and
dope" business, and which under
the new law requiring all bottles OF
packages to bear in full statement
of their contents. must be greatly
suppressed. The bill seriously afacts
great variety of industries which
have thrived alone by the decep
tons they were able to practice upor
the public, and some of these indus
tries were of such wealth and power
that they were powerfully repre-
scented in the Senate by prominent
Senators. The work of the maya
zines and newspapers though in ex-
posing them has led to the food OF
demands from the public for reform
laws. which carried the bill to fav-
orable conclusion.

Washington, D. c., Feb. "a, 'o6.
The Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, which has had charge of the
Hepburn bill for the regulation of
railroad rates, and which has been
in daily session for about three
months, decided yesterday, by vote
of six to FIVE, to report the bill to
the Senate withou amendment. They
attach a recommendation that the
bill be acted upon favorably by the
Senate, but leaves to the Senators
the right to individual support any
amendment to the bill that they may
see fit. This practically throws the
entire subject of rate legislation into
the Senate. 1t takes from the report
Of the committee that force which
would have characterized il had the
Senators of the committee voted to
report the bill without the rcserva-
ton for amending it, and leaves the
whole responsibility with the Senate.
Senator is as free in the course he
will pursue in the Senate as those
who have not been on the committee,
and the conclusion of the work of the
committee is considered rather far
cical. After a heated discussion as
to. who would report the bill to the
| Senate next Monday, it was decided
to leave that honor to Senator Till
man of North Carolina The debate
on the bill in the Senate will be be-
gun Monday, and will continue in
definitely.
Previous to the action of the COM
mittee, considerable confusion in the
rate situation was created Thursday
when Senator Knox introduced d
new and complete bill covering the
subject of rate legislation. Owing
/ to the intimacy of the President and
! Senator Knox, the latter is generally
regarded as the mouth-piece of the
administration The President has
already been quoted generally as
| satisfied with the Hepburn bill, al
though he hoped. it was said, for an
amendment giving specific provis-
ion for review by the courts OF the
contested decisions. Therefore the
action Of Senator Knox in present.
ing an entirely new bill gave rise L
speculation and gossip It was evi

follow his own judgment in the mat
ter regardless Of what the Presiden
supposed to wish. Gossip with ref
erence to Mr. Knox's decision t,

sis upon the policy of being prepared
for war in order that peace might
be ensued, and denounced the par
simony and prejudice which opposed
the establishment of an army large
enough to protect, in case of need,
the interests of the United Staes.
A the same time Secretary Bonaparte
of the Navy was in Baltimore using
the same quotations from Washing
ton to urge the creation of a larger
navy that Secretary Taft had en-
ployed to demonstrate the need of
larger army. 1t IS known that the
President fully agrees with both of
his secretaries on this subject, but
his recommendations to Congress in
his message have not yet been suf-
fcient to persuade that body to make
any adequate appropriation for the
purpose.
The settlement for sixteen months
of the tariff dispute between the
United States and Germany is the
chiefest accomplishment of Secretary
Root since he assumed the duties of
the State department, and will add
to his already great prestige. He
has already taken place with Seward,
Hay and the other greatest of Amer
lean premiers. The desired settle
ment of this tariff dispute was doubt
less in part due to the friendly rela-
tons of this administration to the
German Government, and doubtless
the personal friendship of the Ger
man ambassador and the President
was anything but inimical to the ar
rangement. The conscession by the
United States of the examination OF
German shipments at the starting
point in Germany, instead of with
the custom house in New York and
other American ports, is of small
| importance as considered in con
nection with the advantages which

Scarcity Of Cars Being Felt On
The Sound
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT As YET
RUMORED THAT MILLS cONTEM.
PLATE ANOTHER RAISE IN
PRICE OF LUMBER.

Many sawmills are shutting down
owing to the congested condition of the
freight traffic and the inability of the
manufacturers to get cars to move
their products, says the Tacoma Even
ing News.
Millmen along the Tacoma Eastern
say their warehouses and platforms
are filled with stock they are unable to
move and many of them will close
down. This means that some of the
logging camps will have to suspend
operations, too.
A prominent manufacturer of the
Grays Harbor country who was in Ia
coma yesterday says the mills there
will generally close within a few days
simply because they cannot get cars.
eff this condition exists now" said
a manufacturer of Tacoma, what will
it be when the wheat crop is under
full movement? 1 tell you there is no
relief in prospect for several months
except in the way of occasional cars
to fill a few orders"
Meantime the market is firm with
an upward tendency in prices. A ru-
NOR is current on the street that some
mills have decided to advance the
price of long timbers. what is known
as double car stuff, requiring two cars
to accommodate the great length. 1t
is said this advance may be as great
as SO a thousand. There is strong
demand for long timbers and it is diff
ficult to get them in the present scar

Lower Water Rates.
When the sewer system was con-
structed the people authorized the is
snance of sewer bonds against pledge
of the revenue of the water depart
mont. but the time has now come
when extensions of sewers into thlniy
settled localities from the water rev.
enues ought to be seriously consider
cd as this practice serves to keep up
wafer rates. which ought to be reduc-
ed gradually as the present revenues
increase. The expenditures necessary
in the relaying of old mains during
the past two years have now been met,
and it should be the effort of the water
denartment to make a substantial re-
duction in the rates in the near fu-
ture commend this subject to your
consideration. and recommend that the
water committee make it the subject Of
a snecial report to the council as soon
as possible.
Run Department Separate.
Finally the water department should
be run, as nearly as may be, separ-
ate and apart from other departments,
that the citizens may know what profit
is produced. and what use is made of
| it. and the water committee should ex-
ercise practically the same super
vision over the officials of the depart
ment that they would be expected to
do were the business in the hands OF
private corporation, and they the
board of directors, and they should be
held responsible.
Settle Suits by Jury.
| In regard to the suits pending
against the water department, 1 be-

judge and jury, than by private set
tlement 1 recommend that steps be
taken at once through the consulting
