Much speculation is rife in all quar-
tiers as to what Congress may do and
may not do during the three months
session just begun and which will ad-
journ March 7, 1907. As there are so
many government supply bills to be
passed it is unlikely that there will be
much of chance for general legisla-
ton. Possibly the river and the har-
Dor bill carrying about sixty million
dollars, stands the best show. Next
comes the PHILIPPINE tariff bill and then
the immigration bill Outside of these
three measures and the passage of
general appropriation bills, both houses
will be content to do little else than
talk, thus sustaining the record estab-
lished in the first half of the session
in which it is estimated that "hot air"
was let loose to the amount of fifty
million words.
Plenty of material is still awaiting
discussion and it is probable that con-
siderable talk will result from the re-
recent dismissal by the President of a
battalion of negro troops. The Smoot
case is to be argued in the Senate and
vote had if possible. The Santo
Domingo treaty which has been before
the Senate two years, will receive at
tention, also the Isles of Pine treaty.
The bill limiting the hours of contin-
uous labor for railroad employees will
come up early in the session. The
question of bigger battleships will be
one of the important subjects discussed
and of course the Panama canal will
always be lively question.
1t is hardly probable that much head
way will be made in measures for re-
ferring the currency and it is the con.
sensus of opinion that neither the eight
hour law or the anti-injunctiOn measure
both advocated by labor organizations
will become laws until late in the
session, if at all. One thing is certain,
Congress is now open and will speak
for itself.
The deplorable conditions existing ir
the public printing Office are far from
being settled and the public printer
continues to be the target for all the

The Presidents MESSAGE.

The message of the president of the
United States to the last session of the
59th Congress is one of the best and
most remarkable messages ever sent to
any congress by any president of the
republic. 1t is long but most read
able document, and will be widely read
because of the great Importance to the
country of the subjects discussed, and
because it bears upon every page and
in almost every line the energetic
personality of it's author. 1t is plain
to be seen that the president is fully
aware that he has the people at his
back in his administration of their
affairs, and he not only recommends to
congress what reforms the country
needs, but he insists upon their enact
ment into law. He knows what is
needed and he goes after it with his
usual strenuosity. While he does not
attempt to in any way coerce or brow
beat the congress, he argues and ad-
vises and recommends with an assur-
ance that has not been assumed by any
president in recent years.
Much of the message is given over
to discussion of old topics, such as
justice to the PHILIPPINES, the rehabili-
tation of our merchant marine, the
reform of federal court procedure,
the control of corporate holdings, the
interstate commerce commission, and
the like, but he informs the congress,
in effect, that he will keep after them
until they do their duty in these mat
tiers and that he speaks to them as the
voice of the people. He we'll knows
that many members of congress owe
their seats in the present house to his
personal efforts in their personal be-
half, and the people may safely rely
on their supporting the president in
passing such remedial legislation at
this session. The Tacoma Ledger says
editorially:
Americans who wish to understand
the issues of the day cannot afford to
ignore the message. 1t is full of meat
full of thought, forcibly, clearly and
often splendidly expressed. They may
not always agree with it's author, but
in the msin they will not only agree
but applaud. Mr.. Roosevelt's utter
ances on the preservation of the equity
powers of the courts againit the anti
injunction frenzy, on the relations of
capital and labor, on the preservation
of the remaining public coal lands from
private appropriation, on the necessity
for national regulation of divorce, on

SAY CRIMINALS Get OFF TOO EASY.
Chief Of PottCs WappensteIn Declares
Sentences ught.

"When man gets sentence of but
two years for beating victim until he
is insensible and then leaving him on
the floor of his room for dead, the
courts are too lenient," said Chief of
Police Wappenstein of Seattle.
The protest of the chief of police was
against the action of Superior Judge
Frater in giving Paddy Collins and
George Miller two year sentences for
beating and robbing Charles jenkins in
his room in the Nelson house. jenkins
room was entered by the two men. He
was awakened by them and fought off
one of the robbers. The other beat him
down with a beer bottle and almost
gouged out one of his eyes.
The two robbers were arrested
shortly after the affair by City Detec-
tives Adams and Phillips. They con-
fessed their guilt and pleaded guilty to
the charge against them.
1.-THE news that desperate highway
robbers are getting off with two year
sentences in Seattle travels far" said
the chief of police. 'These hobo thieves
who give us the greatest trouble hear
of these things, and are more willing
to take a chance of getting caught in a
town where there is a short sentence
judge than they are in state like
California, where robbers are sen.
fenced to 40, SO and 55 years. In Cali
fornia, when man admits he is rob.
Der, he seldom gets off with less thar
20 years, and often the punishment is
for life.

room and beats him into insensibility

goes into that room and assaults it.
occupant he has murder in his heart
and he is willing to kill if it becomes
necessary.

much of their time in relating real or
fancied grievances and most of them
never know when they report for duty
in the morning whether they will be
discharged without cause" before the
day is over.
In consequence of this long drawn
out state of restlessness, the SEN
ate committee on printing will
shortly take matters in its own hands.
A bill will be devised abolishing the Of
flee of public printer and provide that
the administration of affairs be vested
in resident committee of three, to be
appointed by congress, and which will
act as court Of last resort in the set
ting of differences. 1t is believed the
establishment of such board to take
charge of the big plant, will eliminate
all personality and do away entirely
with dissatisfaction, discomfort and I'M
rest among the several thousand en-
ployees. Grievances will go before the
three heads and when decisions are
rendered the employees will have no
recourse and cannot resort to the plea
of personal animosity when ruled
against, such as is now the case under
the one man power.
Considerable interest is being man.

mansion, located on Pennsylvania ave-

The owners of the Key mansion were
planning to tear it down and build

Public interest have been steadily

national anthem. This question was

governments requested the United

were in quandary. Some held that

claimed that Hail Columbia should
be designated but the president de-

Reciprocity,

vocated the system of reciprocity.
"What is meant by reciprDcity?"
asked she of young man, long known
to be her adniifef.
"Reciprocity," responded the guile
full youth, "may be defined to mean an
exchange in which neither party gains
an undue advantage at the expense of
the other. For instance II you gave

Frequently the statement Is made
that farmers are not as good business
men as those engaged in other lines
These statements are really without
any foundation. There are less failures
among farmers than any other class of
business men, and when farmer does
fail he seldom "sticks" his friends.
Farmers are conservative business men;
they may be slower in accumulating
money, but the big majority make
good" That is more than can be said
of merchants or manufacturers.
