Organized labor has succeeded in it's
requests of the present session OF con-
gress TO the extent of securing the
enactment of what is known as the
employers liability bill" This enact
ment will make it possible for an en-
ploye to secure damages for his injury
notwithstanding his own negligence
may have been In part responsible for
that injury.
Another bill which has received the
approval of the senate and will doubt
less become a law before the end of
the session is that limiting the hours
of continuous service of railway train
men tu 16 consecutive hours work, to
be followed by 10 hours rest. The
much agitated eight-hour bill received
favorable vote from the labor COM
mittee of the house, but too late to
secure action at the hands of con-
gress. The anti-injunction bill was
postponed in committee until the next
session of congress upon direct vote
on that proposition.

Woman CHANCES Her Mind.

LINCOLN-Mrs. Orlander of Omaha
wants her boy released from the
Kearney Industrial school and she
adopted heroic methods to move the
governor to grant him q pardon Upon
having her application to the governor
turned down, Mrs. Orlander announced
she would remain in the Office of the
executive until she got the release of
her son, and she promptly took a COM
Portable chair and began her wait. At
noon the governor took her to the
mansion for lunch, and again in the
afternoon she took up her position in
the Office of the governor to wait for
him to change his mind. Later, how
ever, she gave up the idea of sitting
him out and left the building.

DECISIVE VOTE ON THE QUESTION
Vigorous Protest Against Placing Any

Favor Thereof Able to Muster but
Nineteen Votes.

to As the house voted to sand by the
house conferees on the meat inspec

bill and the conterees were reappoint.
ed.
Mr.. Wadsworth called up the partial
conference report on the agricultural
appropriation bill in the house Thurs
day and it was agreed to without dis
cussion.
Mr.. Wadswortn then moved that the
house insist upon it's disagreement to-
the meat inspection amendment. This
was adopted on a division. Then Mr..
Wadsworth sprung a surprise by send
ing to the desk a resolution that 1t is
the sense of the house that the con-
ferees do not recede from their amend
ments known as the meat inspection
amendment and the house was face
to face with a contest with the SEN
ate.

the disagreement about the date go.
ing on the cans and insisting that it
was not necessary, passed to the le-
gal question involved His platform
was: The passage of the bill is nee
essary for the protection of our for.
eign commerce and for the benefit of
public health.
| A vigorous protest against placing
any charge on the packer was made
by Mr.. Burelson (Tex). The packer,
he said, would Immediately shift the
burden on the cattle grower.
Mr.. Humphrey (Wash.) talked about
the devils in hell' in conjunction
with the packers paying the cost of
inspection and inveighed against their
insulting demands.
Mr.. Henry (Tex.) wanted to be right
on the question and said that he would
vote that the government should pay
the tax. He called attention to the
quarantine bill, which provided that
the government should pay the cost.
Rally around the conferees," was
the slogan of Mr.. Payne IN. ".
"Stand by the judgment of the house.
Put the inspection upon the govern

inspection a model for the world"
The resolution that it was the sense
of the house that the conferees re-
fuse to recede was then adopted, 1913
to as. The advocates of making the
packers pay for the inspection endeav-
ored to secure roll call, but only
nineteen members demanded it.

Will BRING ROADS TO Time
ATTORNEY GENERAL ORDERS
SUITS AGAINST RAILWAYS.
Violation Of Safety Appliance Law
Charged and Attempt to Recover
Penalties Will Be Made.

Washington. Attorney General
Moody has directed that suits be
brought against large number Of
railroad companies to recover penal
les for violation of the safety appli-
ance law through failure to keep their
equipment in proper condition. The
largest number of violations attrib-
uted to any road is 81 against the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad company.
A statement issued by the department
of justice says:
Attorney General Moody is very
much in earnest in the enforcement of
these laws which were enacted for the
purpose of saving life and limb. In his
letter to the various United States at
torneys under date of December 30,
1904. he said:
THE government is determined
upon strict enforcement of these
statutes, which were enacted for the
promoting of the safety of the trav-
cling public in general, as well as for
the protection of railway employees.
Therefore, any case of violation which
is brought to your attention by the
interstate commerce commission or its
inspectors, or by other parties, must
be promptly and carefully investi-
gated, and suit for the statutory pen
atty be instituted and earnestly
pressed, If in your judgment the facts
justify the course.
You are instructed accordingly
and you are expected to be vigilant
and active in the matter"

prophecy just before sailing for the

in the working force in the immedi-

there is no cause for the suicide He

WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY CONGRESS;
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION ENACTED

Washington. - Important meas
ures extending federal regulation
and control have been enacted at the
first session of the fifty-ninth congress,
now rapidly drawing to a close.
The railroad rate and the meat in
spection bills will soon become laws.
The pure food bill was agreed upon
by the conferees for the senate and
house. The house bill was taken as
a basis Of agreement, and into this
were grated many of the important
sections of the senate measure.
There has been no marked division
on party lines in effecting the above
results, the differences being only as
to ways and means rather than as to
policy.
Besides branching Of into this new
field of legislative endeavor, the pres
emit session of congress has made it
self important in other ways. 1t has
added one, and perhaps two new states
to the union and by so doing has dis
posed o. four territories.
Great results to the people are ex-
pected from the removal of the tax on
denatured alcohol, and if predictions
are fulfilled, heat, light and power are
to be supplied by alcohol made from
| the cornfields of the country, from
sugar beets and sugar cane, from fruits
and other vegetation.
BY deft turn OF legislative points
of view, the questions which have per-
| picked congress for some time regard
ing the Panama canal have been set
tied The president may dig a lock
canal as fast as he pleases A joint
resolution was agreed to requiring
canal supplies to be made of American
manufacture.
Congress has not dwelt with the for
eign situation to any extent. An act
making a much needed reorganization
of the consular service was passed
Nothing was dom in the Santo Domin-
go controversy and the legislation af-
fectins our colonial possessions was
meager and unimportant, although
tariff revision for the Philippines re-
ceived the attention and approval OF
the house, and an act was passed re-
vising the tariff collected by the Phil
ippine government, A coinage act fol
the islands also was passed.
A large number of bills were intro
duced in the two houses. The calendar
records that the number has reached
nearly 10000, 500 more than were in
troduced during the entire three SEES
sions of the last congress.
Before discussing the number of act!
passed, it is interesting to note tina
with ali the strenuous eXertions OF al
appropriations committee in the house
with II new Acknowledgment
Tawney--it has been impossible t
hold the appropriations down to mucl
less than $900,000000, although ECO
nomy" was the watchword from tn
start.
Although there has been an effort t
prevent the enlargement OF what
known as the permanent annual ap
preparations" this character of ex
pense has increased during the sessio
o the extent of nearly $5,O0O,O0O, max
ing total permanent annual appro
priation of more than $140.000,000. A
it happened, the increase in this az
preparation came in one day in tn
house. The meat inspection bill cal
ried permanent annual appropriate
of S3C00000 and the same day IN
house passed the bill adding 100000
to a like amount annually for the SUI

Hoch Wants a DistiIIery.

TOPEKA, Kan.-Governor E. w.
Hoch is in favor of the establishment
of state denatured alcohol distillery
in Kansas. "Such a distillery." said
the governor, would furnish means
or employing large number of con-
victs, and the courts could not declare
the law invalid on the grounds set up
against the state oil refinery measure.
This law would have the same effect
that was expected of the oil refinery
measure, in that it would reduce the
price of light and fuel to the consum-
ers"

Crops Following Cow Peas.


One ought not to get the Idea that
worn out piece Of ground can be plant
ed to cow peas one year and be sown
to seed so as to raise a paying crop the
following year. Cow peas renovate the
soil and supply nitrogen, but they can
not and do not entirely rebuild 1t In a
short period. II one has a worn out
strip Of soil, he must expect to spend
some time and energy on it to get It in
proper condition. A plan somewhat af-
ter the following would work well Sow
five pecks Of COW peas per acre broad
cast and with them four or five hun
dred pounds Of some good fertilizer, U.S.
ing q fertilizer more heavily endowed
with potash and phosphoric acid than
with nitrogen, although it should con.
tain some nitrogen. About the middle
of the summer plow the COW peas un-
der, lime the soil heavily, five hundred
pounds or more to the acre, harrow in
and sow to mixture of crimson clover
and rape. This, plowed under the fol-
lowing spring, would give one a soil
fairly good for some cultivated crop

Heavy Draft Animals.

At recent Missouri Association
meeting, Prof. Kennedy spoke as fol-
lows about the heavy draft horse:
The heavy draft horse weighs from
l,6OO to 1000 pounds, and is worth, at
minimum, 5000. Each of the first
two additions Of a hundred pounds
above 1,600 increases the value of the
horse $50, after which every addition in
weight means $50 a hundred pounds.
So a draft horse of 1000 pounds is
worth $500. Light draft horses, weigh
ing from 300 to 1,6OO pounds, are used
for express wagons, fire engines and
other heavy but quick work. These
bring about $125 to $500. The high
acting carriage or coach horse is worth
from 5000 to $1,000. The roadster or
gentleman's driving horse, and the gait
ed saddle horse vary from 5000 to $500
respectively up to $1,000. In the last
ten years there has been an advance
Of 25 per cent in the draft horses of
Iowa and Missouri.
There always has been, and there
always will be, good demand for first

There Is no reason why the farmer
should not be able to make as good but.
ter as any modern creamery, in fact,
there are many reasons why he can
