Returning from the session Of the
Southern Cotton Association, which re-
quired travel to and from and three
days expense in New Orleans, the legis-
lative committee reported an Individual
expense account of 81. rs each. There
was no contest, no talk of scandal, no
inquiries as to whether any wine had
been INDUCED in, or gold bricks pur-
chased out of the account. On the con-
trary several of the members who did

you do it?" Railroad fare, three days

comparison of financial statistics that
it created a hubbub, and the members
of the committees who have been de-
tailed on junkets to the several State
institutions are wondering what will
happen to their expense accounts when
they are submitted. These latter COM

When the first buds of the sprins
of 1905 began to bloom and all Wash
ington was scattering in various direc
tions, the demure announcement was
made to the effect that about June the
1st Miss Alice Roosevelt would visit
the sister Of Mr.. Longworth in Gin
cinEati.
This was almost more than the Cos
sips could bear with equanimity. They
got their heads together and planned
and plotted and wondered and de-
vised. In fact, the only cool and un-
concerned people were the Lohgworth
family and Miss Alice Roosevelt.
During the couple of months that
elapsed between the announcement of
the visit and the visit itself, Miss
Roosevelt was tusily visiting here and
there always the center of every
gayety-and ever the self-pOssessed.
gracious and lovable girl, in spite of
attentions which might we'll turn the
head of an older and wiser person. i.
When the momentous first of June
arrived there also appeared upon the
scene in Cincinnati the long-expected
daughter of the White House. She
travelled alone. with the exception of
her maid. and when she tripped lightly
off the Pennsylvania train at Terrence
road she was quickly helped into a
smart little runabOut by Mr.. Long
worth and whisked off to "ROOkwood,"
the famous old LOngworth home in the
Grandin road, where, SO the fateS de-
creed, she was next to enter as the
bride of the house.
Mrs. Longworth, Congressman Long
worth's mother was at the time visit
ing her daughter Clara. Countess
De Champrun, in Paris, but the honors
were most successfully carried off by
his sister and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. Buckner Wallingford. The visit
of one weeks duration vas the pro-
verbal round of dances, teas, lunch
cons, drives, motor rides, dinner par
ties and horseback rides-in fact, all
of the delightful attentions that an
honored guest is heir to.
Journey to the Orient.
But these visits about the country
all faded into insigniicance beside the
journey to the Orient which Miss
Roosevelt took with the party of Sec
rotary of War Taft. The main object
was a visit to the Philippine islands,
but the party was SO deliberately re-
ceived at all points along the way
thai one could scarcely describe the
most interesting scenes of festivities,
so varied were they in every particu-
lar.

messages. It will be comparable only
to the marriage of the crown princess
of a great reigning house. Already the
flood of letters, kilograms and cable
grams of congratulation which has
poured into the White House since the
announcement of the engagement has
been remarkable.
1t is not only that since the last

States has become a rea world power;
il is not only the prestige of Cuba and
Manila and Portsmouth, it is not only
the name of a father famed at home

what no other unmarried daughter of
a president or king ever did before
completed a trip around the world
which called forth attention from some
of the greatest ~personages on the

The Chinese Empress.
The Chinese empress but lately

courts feted her, while their enterpris-

PLAIN American for a husband.
There is not an unmarried TITLED
member of any legation in Washington
who has not been accused Of designs
on the daughter of the White House
There have been rumors of foreign
alliances. A great many people felt
that it was scarcely possible for her
to escape a titled husband. But she
has made a love match-both she and
Mr.. Nicholas Longworth. If there
is any one incontrovertible fact in
the whole affair, it is that. Did they
not travel around the world in the
same party? Old and eminent author
ity has declared that there is no
greater test of love than this. Have
they not seen each other when the
sea was high, and the best Of us
grow uninteresting? Have they not
spent long, slow days on English rail-
rOa1 trains? And borne up under
oriental hotels and jinrikishas and
strange and remote custom houses?
Has she not seen him when the bag

struggling with a foreign waiter and
menu, one of the most trying moments
that can overtake a man? Has he not
seen her uncurled and perspiring be-
meath an equatorial sun? The pub
lie must acknowledge and history will
record it. 1t is a love match.
One further proof of her level head
has the presidents daughter shown.
She will take her wedding trip four
months after, next June. No honey

Later they will live in Washington,

hitherto in the dancing set.
The Old, Old Story.
The story of the courtship is the same
old story of love the world over.
At first the fact that Mick" had be-
come a member of the inner circle of
Washington society was given small
c~redence, for that same circle is not
easy of approach, and, although the
ever-victorious Nick has a habit of get
ting wherever he wants it was not
thought that he had so readily been
the conquering hero in this instance.
But gradually filtered out the news
that not only was he the accepted
member of the ~debutantes' set, but the
especial devOtee of the presidents
daughter = that wherever she was
there might he be found. In review
ing the events OF the past two years
it will be remembered that no other
mans name has even been mentioned
in connection with serious attentions
to Miss Roosevelt.
They rode together, they dined to-
gether, they danced together. Miss
Roosevelt and Countess Cassini, in
separable companions, were always at
tended by one Nicholas Longworth.

Washington.-At high noon Of Sat
room of the White House, will end the
distinguished social career of Miss
Alice Roosevelt, and at the same mo-
mept there will begin the social career
of Mrs. Nicholas LOngwOrth.
For four years Miss Roosevelt has
been the leader of the young social set
called as a rule the dancing set-of
Washington, and in fact of the nation.
During those four years she has been
constantly before the American people,
petted and feted by them, and &C
claimed by princes and rulers and IA
lions the world over. Few, if any.
girls the world has ever known have
had so distinguished a career as this
simple, ~unassuming daughter OF an
American president. No girl was ever
wooed more ardently than she has
Ebeen. The mar who on February II
will become her husband has been an
ALMOST constant attendant upon her
for at least two of the four years she
has beer before the public.
Now ends the picturesque career of
Alice Lee Roosevelt. Whatever she
may do as Mrs. LongwOrth, of Cincin-
matt, she will always be remembered
by the people who have elected her
father their president just as Alice
Roosevelt. What she did and what she
was as a girl will always hold the first
place, no matter what the future has
in store for her as a matron.
Not since Queen Victoria was mar
Gie:i to Prince Albert 60 years ago has
there been a wedding in which the

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS,
SANDY BAYOU LEASE VALID.
So Hold Judges Calhoun and Truly
of the Supreme Court.

The supreme court has spoken in the
celebrated Sandy Bayou case. While
Justices Calhoun and Truly hold the
lease valid they arrive at their COnclu-
siOns from different viewpoints.
Judge Calhoun held that there was
no law at present either against the
Sandy Bayou lease made by a majority
of the board of control, or to warrant
Gov. Vardaman in causing injunction
proceedings. If the law had been VIC
lated the Encouragement, as the legal
adviser of the State, was the officer to
institute the proceedings OF behalf OF
the State.
Judge Truly held that the question
at issue was the legality of the CONTRACTS
of the board of control. He then re-
viewed the whole lease which had
caused the trouble, and concluded by
agreeing with Judge Calhoun as to the
logical conclusion, which was in effect
sustaining the Sandy Bayou lease, and
incidentally throwing the appellee out
of court.
The minority opinion was read by
Justice Whitfield, who dwelt particu-
larly with regard to the right Of the
governor in bringing the action, hold
ing that there was no other course to
pursue if he thought that the interests
of the people were at stake, and it was
plainly obvious that the attOrney-gen-
eral, as n of the parties to the con.
tract. could not consistently appear as
plaintiff against himself.
