the returns, in 1901. His seat was con-
tested, and the house decided that there
was so much fraud on both sides that
nobody was elected, so the seat was
declared vacant Mr.. Butler ran again
at the special election, was again de-
clared elected and again unseated. At
this same special election TO fill the va
cancy caused by his own unseating he
was also elected on the face of the re-
turns for another full term, the day
being the regular election day. George
c. r. Wagner, funeral director, was
Mr.. Buffers opponent at the election
to fill the vacancy. On the very last
day of the term Wagner was declar-
ed elected, sat one day in congress
and drew $4,000 salary. That is said
TO be the shortest congressional service
on record.
"Jim Butler has been kicked out of
congress twice in one term" said q st.
Louis friend.
Eyes" remarked a man who opposed
him, land he's got another kick COM
ing"
Butler was finally seated, however,
and enjoyed Il small part of a term
embarrassed by the ghost of the third
kick He concluded that he had had
enough of public life, so for the cleo
ton of 1904 his friends put up Ernest
Z. Wood, Il young lawyer who was al
most stranger in st. Louis. Wood
was elected on the face of the returns,
and the Twelfth again caused congress
a severe pain. Harry NJ. Godfrey. the
other candidate, contested. \ few days
before the close of the long session
last summer Mr. Coudrey was seated.
He sits in the short term without hav-
ing to bind himself to his seat, and he
is sure of another term, for he was re-
elected by a safe plurality last Novem-
Der.
Thus, after many spasms, congress is
cured of the Twelfth Missouri afflic-
ton, for two years and three months
at any rate. and can now proceed to
get down to business and work without
worrying.

Christmas Ia Bethlehem.

Shepherds still watch their focks by
night during the Christmas season
around Bethlehem, says the Travel
Magazine. 1t is the most peaceful
scene in all the Holy Land. Yearly
they watch the procession of pilgrims
that wends its way from the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher through the Via
Dolorosa, out through St Stephens
gate, where the martyr was stoned to
death, and across the plains to Bethle-
hem. All night long the foOtsore trav-
elers, who have gathered from every
part of the world, may be seen trudg-
ing by starlight toward the little vii
lage of Bethlehem

q few years ago, millions of acres Of
semiarid land in the great west are
being made into fertile farms Money
obtained from the sale of public lands
goes into the irrigation fund. There
are immense areas of swamp or semi
swamp land in the United States. This
land requires only a proper system of
drainage to make it the most fertile
agricultural soil in America. 1t is
argued by the advocates of the swamp
reclamation bill that if Uncle Sam can
afford TO pour water on the desert he
can afford to drain water out of the
swamps, the end in view being identi-
cal In each case.
As to new legislation, there seems to
be some prospect of the Introduction
of an income tax measure. The pres
ident, it is known, favors both an in
come tax and an Inheritance tax Ten
years ago the income tax plank in the
Democratic platform and the accom-
panying remarks concerning the defeat
of the income tax law by majority
of one against its constitutionality in
the supreme court became something
of an issue. Now the administration
appears TO stand for the enactment of
an income tax law, and some legisla-
ton along that line may be expected.
1t is probable also that at this seS-
sion the advocates of Il federal statute
regulating marriage and divorce may
succeed in placing this question before
congress. Though there is q wide d.
vergence of opinion regarding the
stringency or laxity of divorce laws,
there seems to be unanimity in favor
of Il uniform law for all the states and
territories. This problem, being Il very
delicate one. is not to be settled for
once and all in a three months SEES
sion. The friends of this reform mere
ly hope for Il good beginning in this
congress- If the problem comes up at
all it will be something new under the
sun in national legislative councils and
cannot fail to arouse wide interest

May investigate Brownsville Riot

There is prospect for very ami
mated set-to in congress over the pres
ident's recent order discharging with
out honor battalion of troops in the
Twenty-fifth United States infantry,
colored, on account of complications
growing out of the riot at Brownsville,
Tex, last August. If the expressed
purpose of certain individuals and so
cietieS be carried out congress will be
called upon to investigate the riot and
the discharge of the battalion. Those
who believe that an injustice has been
done in that innocent men seem TO
have been made to suffer for the guilty
have declared their intention of taking
the matter to congress. while others
who appear to discover in the episode
an expression of the prejudice against
the negro will bring the eternal race
question TO the front and thereby
evoke some highly interesting If not
altogether edifying debates. There
seems to he every indication that this
ghost will not be allowed to down
without congress @ al attention.
In tue senate this session we are
promised n final answer to the eternal
question. shall Smoot remain seated
or be scootcd:" This question as to
the admission of the Mormon senator
has run into several editions already.
The general public has come to feel
that it is about time for the senate to
write Fins on it. High authorities
express the belief that Mr.. Smoot will
be permitted to retain his seat.

Pictured Gems Replace Real Ones

Photographing of jewels is becoming
more frequent. Women who own beau
tiful gems are too wise to keep the col
lectiOns in their houses except when
they are to be in use, so it has become
a fad to have the jewels arranged ar
tistically and a photograph taken of
the group, says the New York Press.
At any time the proud owner may
show the picture to friends. Mrs. Reg
inald Vanderbilt was the first young
woman to have this done, for she sell
dom has all her jewels together, and
she wears them sparingly.

tariff Secretary Taft, it is understood,
is prepared to force the administration
measure for a reduction on Philippine
goods. The president is said to favor
even free trade for the Philippines.
The other measure mentioned is the
bill to make the inhabitants of Porto
Rico American citizens. President
Roosevelt is heartily in favor of this
measure On his recent visit to Porto
Rico he assured the admiring populace
that he would do all in his power to
make them citizens of the United
States
The supreme court of the United
States decided on Dee. ., 1901, that the
Porto Ricans were not ipso facto citi-
Zens. This government established
about thousand schools in the island,
where six years ago only about II per
cent of the people could read or write.
1t is understood that the illiteracy has
been greatly decreased. The popula-
ton of the island in 1899 was 900, 343.
OF these 5S9426 were whites, 304,3
mulattoes. $1,000 full blooded negroes
and 10 Chinese. Many of the whites
are high class Spaniards, educated in
Spain or the United States. Porto Rico
is about thousand miles from the
United States mainland. If congress
makes United States citizens out of the
island people, as indicated at present,
the next step must be to create the ter
ritory of Porto Rico, with a delegate in
congress. Then we shall have Il regu-
larry constituted island territory, with
possibility of future statehood, on each
side of the main country, Hawaii being
the western representative of our oce-
anic twins.

JAPAN MAY FIGHT.
Much Disturbed Over California Edu-
cation Issue. Says Consul Miller.

According to the statement of Harry
3. Miller, United States consul general
at Yokohama, Japan is prepared to use
her military and naval strength ri
necessary to fight the Discrimination
that has been made by the San Fran
cisco board of education against Japa-
nese who want to attend our schools
with white children, says San Fran
cisco special dispatch to the New York
Times. Mr.. Miller, who has been on
visit to his home in Eugene, Ore, is in
San Francisco under orders from
Washington to look into the difficulty
prior to his return to Japan.
THE Japanese are highly incensed
over this affair."" he said the other day,
land to save the national dignity are
willing to go to war. They feel that
they are powerful in their military and
naval departments, and open comment
is made on the probability of a show

important feature the creation of a
great naval reserve. 1t is pointed out
by supporters of the bill that from a
military standpoint aside from its COM
mercial aspect it is a very important
measure. With American merchant
ships manned by American sailors.
they argue, in case of war there would
be a substantial reserve from which to
draw. This measure, therefore, finds
earnest advocates both among those
who stand for the world power theory
in military and naval strength and for
our worldwide commercial expansion.
May Have an Early Hearing.
The immigration bill is another piece
of unfinished business which promises
to be thrashed ont TO a finish. Or
ganized labor favors this measure,
which provides an educational test for
immigrants. The hordes of illiterates
who have been dumped upon our shores
from European countries are not vel
coined as equal competitors by Ameri-
can workingmen nor as proper mate
rial for the making of American citi-
zens. Opposition to the educational
clause requiring that immigrants adj
mitted to these shores be able to read
and write comes chiefly from the large
transportation companies, which look
upon each immigrant merely as one
steerage fare. There are also those
who oppose this clause because of the
fear that it may shut out Russian
Jews and other unfortunates who seek
a refuge here from the insufferable
prosecutions of their governments at
home. 1t is predicted that the immi-
grafton bill will have an early hear
ing, probably before Christmas, and
that the fight will be made chiefly on
the educational test.
OF legislation Immediately concern
ing labor there is an unusual amount
in prospect. The anti-injunction bill
and the eight hour bill promise some
lively forensic fireworks. Both are
strongly urged by organized labor and
as strongly opposed by organized lob

~ ROBABLY no short session of
IL congress ever held in time of
peace has had so many impOr-
tant measures for discussion as
the present session will have. With
only Seventy-seven working days, il is
n safe prediction that the lawmakers
will burn Il good deal of midnight cleo

the long session of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress looks large enough to occupy the
time until the 4th of March. and del
uge of new bills is indicated.
If Secretary Root in his recent
speech at Kansas City was spokesman
for the administration it appears that
the ship subsidy bill. already passed
by the senate. will be the presidents
pet measure for the winter session.
General Charles II. Grosvenor of Ohio

committee has charge of this bill. This

vate life next March. General eros
