In the hurr. and hustle of get

slipped in to ur.<et the calculations Of
party leaders. me of these was the
signing of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill by tn President before that
measure contain al the signature of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. or cour Q this oversight was
corrected. but L e question then arose
as TO the Importance of having the bill
signed by the soeaker and the Vice
President. Thu signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses. the important fact
being that the, nave been passed by
the House and senate. For this rea-
son II Is not REGARDED as being abso-
lutely indispens BILE that n bill should
be signed by tie presiding officer of
the House. All hat is necessary is to
establish the fa that it has been SO
passed.
Another "bresk" was the presidcn-
tial approval o. the sundry civil bill
containing ar item appropriating
S3,OOO,OO0 for site for n new de-
partmental hui ling In Washington.
This item had b-cn dropped out of the
bill In confereL but the enrolment

and SO included this item in the copy
OF the bill laid Lsfore the President for
his signature. When the error was
discovered. resolution was adopted
by both houses II Congress repeating
the feature OF The bill making the

II Is not sttange that these mis-

4 STRIKING BEAUTY OF ENGLISH
COURT WHO IS FRIEND OF

In PoHtlcS.

England has Mt least one titled
woman whose wealth and position
have not proved sutiicien: to blind her
to conditions which surround less for
tunate men and women. She is the
Countess OF Warwick, long the reign
ing beauty Of King Edwards court,
and one of the most famous women in
two continents.
The Countess has recently come in
to prominence through her par. -ipa-
ton in the English elections and is n
strong advocate and supporter Of VIII
Thorne, candidate OF the dock Ia
borcrs for a seat in the House of Com
mons. The Countess strongly sup
ports the contention Of the laboring
element for labor party in parliament
and rowncd in the most bcwitching OF
Parislan frocks and in a red automo-
bile she has been stirring things up
pretty lively In the forty-five parlia-
mentary districts in which repre-
sentntives of organized labor were
running for the House OF Commons.
SENT DELEGATION TO AMERICA
This very democratic Countess re-
Gently sent delegation of twenty-five
women to the United States TO study
labor conditions here. Each --as in

another went to tailor shops and still
another to the factories where young
men and women are employed and the
entire labor field was adequately COW

penscs OF the trip and Is now using
the material which her delegation
brought back to her for speeches to
the laboring classes.
Not long ago the Countess addressed
tremendous crowd OF workmcn. Her
stage was a tradesman's wagon and
hundreds OF workmcn went without
their dinners In order to hear her
speech. She was given a great ova-

ciprocity, II can be had. Sir
Richard Cartwr ght, minister of trade
and commerce. taid recenl.y that there
could be no better British policy than
to do everything possible to encourage
good relations ritb the United States.
Senator Loug.Ieed. the conservative
leader In the Senate, stated that he
thought no higls~r work could be found
by King Edwm i than to promote the
good relations &C the two peoples, and
O bind more q 'sely together the two
Auglo-SaN tions. He knew no
happier way OF .trengt .ening the bond
between the A iglo-Saxon peoples on
the North American Continent than
for the King AID Queen to visit the
shores of Nort America at the pres
ent time.
II reciprocit is not visibly to the
front to-day Is because public
opinion In Canada reg rds reciprocity
as unattainabft and the position of
the anti-rcciprcity men who are for
the moment supreme, as unassailable.
Hence. and foe no other reason. re-
ciprocity sentip tcnt Is put on the shelf
