MANS Inhumanity to Man,"

| c. l.. Wilson, editor of the Cherokee: !:
Oklahoma, Messenger, make the follow
ing comment which is replete with
good sense:
| The average man comes very near
being an idiot in taking care of himself.
You have seen him wearing fur cap
on his head. while his shoes let in the
SNOW and water. He wears an over
coat on his back and nothing but thin
shirt over his chest. He is mighty
scared about freezing his fingers while
his throat is exposed to blizzards and
he is often ailing or thinks he is. Its
herb tea, root tonics. Refers pills,
Paul pine tar cordials or plasters and
and cures, until the balance wheel in
the machine comes to stop. Nature
wants to keep going but she can't. He
drinks whiskey and that clogs the valves;
he drinks beer and that clogs the wheels;
he pours down lemonade, ginger ale,
buttermilk, ice water, tea, coffee and
what not and then wonders why the
fires under the boiler do not burn. If
you should take an OK and put him
through a like performance he'd be
dead in a year. The simplest and
plai nest laws of health are outraged
every hour of the day by the average
man. Did Adam smoke? Did Eve
wear corsets? Did Soloman chew to-
bacco? Did Ruth chew gum? Did the
children of Israel make for beer gar
den after crossing the Red sea? Did
Rebecca eat gum drops and ice cream
and call for soda water? Adam was
the first and was made perfect from
head to heel. How long would he re-
main so after eating a mince pie before
going to bed? Suppose he had slept in
. bedroom SKI with the windows down
the doors shut and two dogs under the
bed! Suppose Eve had lacedherself up
IN a corset, put on tight shoes, set up
all hours of the night eating her fill of
trash and sizzled her hair? When you
comeSto look at the way man mis-
behaves himself you can only wonder
he ever lived to get there.

unavoidable causes of absence will oc-
cur. still nothing is so necessary to pro-

Sundry Civil Bill Up for
Consideration in Com
mitttee of Whole.

The Senate held night session last
night for consideration in Committee of
the Whole Of the .sundry civil bill The
measure was taken up again early in
today's session. The expectation that
last evenings session would be long
enough 10 consider all amendments and
report the bill to the Senaye proved er-
roneous because several troublesome
amendments were offered. which could
not be disposed Of for wanJ o. a quorum
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota tossed a
bomb into the situation in the shape
OF an amendment 10 strike out the pro-
viso that no Federal money should be
paid to soldiers home having bars or
canteens. Senator Haze protested Sena-
tor Nelson tartly responded that he
knew it would take a long debate.
Another item which caused trouble
was that appropriatinS $4,000 for the
travelling expenses Of the President. Sen
ator McLaurin raised point Of order
against il. Vice President Fairbanks
overruled it, Senator McLaurin appeal
ed It was agreed thar the considera-
tion of the appeal should go over until
today.
Senator McLaurin this afternoon paid
his respects 10 the President and the
executive departments of the Govern
ment in general in speech that at
the proposal 10 appropriate $4,000 for
the Presidents travelling expenses. He
deprecated the tendency to executive
interference with the business in the
legislative branch of government. say
ing there is TOO much disposition on
the part of Congress 10 let the PrcSi-
dent do its thinking for IL. The Seuat tor
vigorously declared himself a friend OF
the President
Senator McIaurin submitted that the
President Is already reasonably well
paid and cited the items in the bin
which relate 10 the maintenance OF The
Executive household.
In addition 10 $4,000 salary he found
$500 appropriated for ordinary care
and repair of the Executive household
and the driving OF the official carriages.
Hn equal amount for extraordinary re
pairs, 5000 for fuel, 50 600 for conserva-
tory, and 5000 for repairs TO the green
houses In addition To this he pointed
out that there is maintained for the
express accommodation of the President
a naval vessel known as the Presidents
yacht. He thought all this represented
q very fair treatment Of the Executive.
Senator Hale protested that the main
tenance Of carriage and stables relates
10 their use for official business only
Senator Tulman demanded 10 know
whether Senator Hale meant that the
official carriages are not used for pri-
vate purposes and whether the Presi-
dent pays for carriages that are used
for private purposes Senator Hale was
not able positively 10 CnSwer this qUes-
ton. Senator Tillman insisted tha-
having raised the point the Senator from
Maine ought TO telephone the White
House or otherwise equip himself with
the information.
