After fifteen years of consideration of
the subject, the Senate Wednesday passed
a pure food bill by a vote of 90 to 1.
The session was largely taken up by de-
bate on the measure, and several efforts
were made to amend, only those approved
by the committee reporting the bill being
accepted. Senator Smoot received anoth-
er Endorsement, this time from Mr.. War
rem. He presented big petition from
the women of Wyoming, praying for the
expulsion of the Utah Senator, but ex-
pressed himself as occupying the opposite
position. Chairman Hull of the military
affairs committee presented the army APP
preparation bill to the House, urging the
necessity of complete preparedness for
trouble in the Orient. The bill carries
a total appropriation of $69,67S, 592,
which is less by $1.521, 158 than the
amount asked by the department. Mr..
Hopkins (Ky-) uncovered many methods
of inducing migration to the United
States, which he condemned. Mr.. Shep-
pard (Texas) urged tariff reform to OBJ
viate retaliatory tariffs by other nations
Mr.. Powers (Me.) spoke against the abo-
lition of custom-houses as a matter of
economy, and Mr.. Macon (Ark.) answer
ed his arguments.

Congressman LcnEwOrth an Able
and Fortunate Man.
Nicholas Longworth, Representative in
Congress of the First Ohio District, is
fifteen years Miss Roosevelt's senior. He
is the great-grandson of that Nicholas
Longworth who, landing in Cincinnati in
1904, when it was a little river town,
opened law Office and for defending a
man accused of stealing a horse received
two copper whisky stills which he ex
changed for 80 acres of land which ac-
quired a value of 100000. Later he
paid $500 for a cow pasture which ac-
quired value of $1,500,000 within his
lifetime When he died he paid more
taxes than any man in the country except
the senior Astor, his fortune being esti-
mated at $15.000,000. This is the sum
which Longworth will inherit, making
him, within a few years, one of the
wealthy men of the nation. He is a grad
uate of Harvard university, is fond of
outdoor sports, is intensely interested in
politics and ambitious to make name for
himself He has no wish to be a financier
and undoubtedly will devoCe himself to
public life. Unlike his father-in-law, Mr..
Longworth is no hunter. 1t is said he
never killed a living thing in the chase.
He is a good horseman, plays an expert
game Of golf, boxes, fences and INDUCES
in hand-ball and tennis. He is one OF
the best swimmers in the country. Mr..
Longworth's preliminary education was
in the public schools of Cincinnati, where
he was born. He received the degree of
A. B. from Harvard in 1891. and later
was admitted to the Cincinnati bar. He
did not care to practice law, however. and
found his time absorbed in looking after
his estates and in meeting his business,
social and political engagements.
Mr. Longworth's first essay in public
life was failure. He was defeated in
his canvass for membership in the State
Legislature in 1897, but was not discour-
aged. He ran again in 1899 and gained
victory. He next was elected to the
State Senate, and in 1903 he was sent to
Congress.
