AND OTHER WASHINGTON
Matters TOUCHED UPON
Congress Looks With Disfavor
Upon Any Increase of Power for the
President Military and Political
Blacklegs Busy Once More-The
Pure Food Question Again.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-The
portant matter before the. country this
week, and wonderful message it was
no matter from what view point you
look at 1t. To the critic and pessimist
it gave offense because of the vast
scope Of the subjects covered and the
fact that some matters were touched
on that have for years been given ov-
er to the clergy, the judiciary, and
other usurpers Of public thought. To
the average citizen 1t presented a kali
eidoscopic view of many important
subjects, and there seems to be ling
ering hope in the minds of even the
most rabid critics that the presidents
efforts will not be In vain.
The impression created in the minds
Of Fasteners by the message in ref
erence to the colored race is very
favorable. The sentiment in Washing
ton is divided between the rabid
and prejudiced radicals
from the north. happily the great
mass of the people believe that both
extremes are in error. The rap at the
hysteria and sensationalism created
by yellow journals and the reference
to child labor were both we'll received
while the recommendation for "ade-
quate control and regulation of rail-
ways to prevent the undesirable move
for government ownership" appears to
please everybody but the radicals.
As predicted, the discharge of three
companies of colored troops because
of an alleged refusal to testify against
their comrades was the subject Of a
controversy that will be played on all
winter. It is doubtful If official action
looking to their reinstatement in the
army will be taken, but the matter
will receive such a thorough airing
that its recurrence will be prevent
ed If found to have been precipitate in
this case. Regardless Of the action
of congress and the president the
courts will be called upon to decide
whether the chief executive can "fire"
a man without recourse to court mar
tial. The theory that court martial
trials are not severe enough is out
considered tenable, for the impression
prevails in Washington that the enlist.
ed men Of the army are not consider
ed much better than automatons.
Congress will be slow to give to the
president authority to dismiss from
the navy during times Of peace Off
GERS whom he thinks unworthy to
wear the uniform. There is no dispo-
sition to believe that the president of
the United States would dismiss a man
for personal reasons, but the practice

TO EXTEND EIGHT HOUR RULE TO $4,000 RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS

Mr.. H. G. Shaug of Los Angeles,

petition which the railway postal
clerks, fourteen thousand in number,
scattered all over the United States,

seen the president and discussed brief
ly the claims of the clerks. He said

better understanding arrived at be-

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 13.-Congressman
Marshall is in Fargo today looking
after business matters. He has In
terested himself in the wheat block
ade, and to a newspaper representa-

to stay in the yards for ten to twenty
days. He said that the cars were not
making as many trips this year as

(By H. c. Mitchen.)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-The
declaration of the president for
gradual extension of the eight-hour
day principle SO as to embrace all
classes of government employees has
met with warm approval by the rail-
way postal clerks of the country. This,

the postal clerks feel that congress is

better treatment than they have
hitherto had.

president, secretary and members of
the executive committee OF the nation-
al association of railway postal clerks.
He said that it was conceded by all
the officials with whom he talked that
there has been recent decline in the
railway mail service caused by the
fact that many of the better men were
leaving it for other fields of labor, and
further that the new accessions to the
service has not been of as high
standard as those in times past.
