short Of last years figures. for the rca-
son that the expenses connected with
the game were very much greater.
Then, tog. the receipts were smaller
than in 1905. for the reason that fewer
tickets were sold through the Pennsyl-
vania committee handling the game.
owing to the fact that a larger alIot-
ment was assigned TO the two Govern

also because about 200 Of the $500

CONGRESS WILL DO LITTLE,
THE OPINION OF MEMBERS
Republicans and Democrats Alike Make Indignant Pro-
tests Over "Despotsm" of Cannon and
Rules Committee

1t will be a do-nothing session Of Con-
gress.
This is the inference drawn by the
members OF the House from a casual
statement attributed 10 Speaker Cannon
by people who have talked to him re-
Gently. The Speaker is quoted as say
ing that he will not announce the House
committees for ten days.
This means that there can be no
legislative accomplishment in that time.
1t means further that there win be no
time, after the committees are an
nounced, to pass currency bill before
the holiday recess.
This means that currency will go over
till the new year. and there will be
nothing to prevent an endless discussion
OF that subject A long currency de-
bate means that other matters will be
crowded. and viii finally get no time or
considera zion
The impression that this session. un-
der the domination. OF the leaders in
both houses. is to be one Of small ac-
complishment. is widespread. II is not
a cheerful forecast which the average
member OF the lower house makes. es-
pecially il he IS a Republican. The Re
publicans say their people at home ex-
pect this Congress to do things But
the rules Of the House and the tenden-
cies of the Senate stand i'm the way.
What can a poor Representative do, who
must appear less than a year hence be-
fore a clamoring constituency in a close
district. TO explain why ne didn't have
some laws passed. He has no real pow
er in Washington. because the real pow
er resides in the Rules Committee and
the Speaker. Yet his constituents ex-
pect him to get results.
Both Parties Indignant.
That is why there is more bitter and
determined protest than ever before
against the House rules. which make
the Speaker the despot Of the House.
The debate on adoption Of the rules
was short and anything but spectacular.
But underneath the surface thepe was
a deal Of boiling indignation. p--taken
by Republicans as well as Democrats.
II violates no confidence TO say that
Republicans who have never before
been disloyal. are declaring themselves
ready to unite with the Democrats I'm
fight to overturn the power OF the Rules
Committee. There is more evidence
than ever before that the present rules
have come to be an onense against the
manhood Of House members. Democrats
are candid about the matter. They ad-
nit that they are tarred with the same

Plans for the trip have been under
way several weeks. It has bsen the Gus
tom OF the association 20 have an annual
excursion to one OF the resorts around
Washington, and this has heretofore
required only a day. Interest IN the
yearly outing has materially increased
and it was suggested some time ago
that the picnic time be extended to IN
clude a visit 10 the fair.
In order that the association would no'
get away from the idea OF having ar
outing to itself, the steamer St johns
was chartered. rather than procure pass
age on the regular steamers. It's &C
commodations are for more than ZOO
but only 1000 tickets were issued, IN or

trip in comfort

SULPHUR0US 'LASSES STAYS
FOR JUST ONE YEAR MORE

Following a conference Of the Board
OF Pure Food and Drug Inspection it
was announced that sulphur will be an
element in the making Of sugar cane
molasses this year at least. The con
ference was the result of the attitude
Of the men who finance the industry
and who claim that sugar refined with
out sulphur is OF an inferior grade.
The Department Of Agriculture has
made a ruling against sulphur, but the
sugar men declare the ruling is based on
the use of sulphur as an adulterant OF
for coloring. They claim its use Ia the
making Of sugar cane molasses Is as a
clarifying and refining agent.
