tive vote. Conference reports on the ag
ricultural. sundry civil. naval and post
Office appropriation bills were agreed to-

$50 n month 10 the widow of the late Gen
Joseph r. Hawley. The House at the
morning session began consideration of
the general deficiency bill. and at o'clock
laid it aside for the ship subsidy bill,
whose passage developed one of the pref
test fights in years. On the first vote
the Democrats and the insurgent Repub-
Leans had votes enough to defeat the
measure. but after three hours of fierce
contest the bill. as perfected in the com
mittee of the whole striking out provis-
ions for steamship mail lines from Pacific
coast points to the Orient was finally
passed by Il vote of 1862 to 100. The gen

On the Right Road.

Governor Hughes has recently restat-
ed a great truth 10y saying that the
best business for a man to attend to is
his OWN business. If he does not look
a little out, he is likely to become per
0 n non grata at the White House,
but that does not diminish the value of
his dictum. Trlle. it is not original with
him. for a greater man tina he. one
Andrew Jackson by name, advised one
James Buchanan. with far more en-
phasis than politencss. that he one"
knew a nan in Tennessee who made
his everlasting fortune by attending
strictly to his own business. That was
on an occasion when the Pennsylvania
had rendered sone importinent advice
to the iron soldier of The Hermitage as
to his wearing apparel. So long as
Governor Hughes adopts General Jack
sons ideas he is Oh the right road.

4 Poor Memory.

Most assuredly the friends of Hob.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, represent.
alive in congress and chairman of the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. should be looking carefully
after him. He is certainly suffering
from one of the most remarkable cases
of failing memory ever heard of. Late
dispatches from the east indicate thst
Brother Jeemes cannot recollect whetlA-
e r he called upon that eminent Repuh-
lican leader, Hon. q. H. Hartman. IN
the campaign of 1906 or not. A more
or less veracious chronicler has left a
legend floating around in the WORLD
that some man, somewhere, at some
time, forgot his W name. Senator
Depew at q critical moment for his
w fame forgot the name of his "ran-
tankerous friend from up the river
but Sherman's case is more remark
able still. He should be clapped into
the observation ward.

Marse Henry's Blast.

Marse Henry Watterson on his re
turn from basking in the smiles OF
Spanish senoritas issued an interview
which was read from sea to sea and
also laughed at. His prolonged resi-
dence in the decadent kingdom of AL
fonso seems to have given Marse Hen
~ a bad case Of the blues, SO far as
Democracy is concerned, but 1t must
be remembered that he is given some
what to that disease. He is a sad
pessimist. Everybody that knows him
loves him, for he is one of the most
amiable of mortals and is the last of
those powerful editors who were lar
ger than their papers, but his vaticina-
tons in matters political are not So
trustworthy as they were when he was
in his prime. According to the colonel.
everything is lovely and the goose
honks high with the Republicans.
while the poor Democrats are wooling
each other to beat the world. That's
the status quo ante. If the colonel
had read the back numbers of his own
paper the past six months and posted
UP before being interviewed, he prob,
ably would have seen things in quite a
different light-a more cheerful light.
When he left II shores last fall, the
chances of success appeared to be very
much in favor of the Republicans in
1908, but many things of great pith
and moment happened during his alb
sence, nearly every n of which weak

who nave an opportunity for watching
at short range the capers of the Il. o.
p. The following editorial from the
Washington Post. an independent jour
nal published at the seat of govern
ment, is likely to make the eyes of
certain persons pop open after the
manner of morning glories. The Post
says:
In one of his many recent addresses
Senator Beveridge declared that 1.-The sem
ator or congressman who spends his time
distributing patronage, fixing up postof-
flee deals, arranging political comhina-
tons, all for the purpose of his own Off
cial perpetUation. must go out of Ameri-

Of q movement of that kind. AT least, tho

there has been no charge or even q sue-
picion that Senator Beveridge was neg
lectful in the matter of patronage. Like
every other senator or representative be
longing to the Republican party. he looks
out for his friends and carefully sees II

influence TO enable him to succeed by
sending his private secretary to the dc
partments. The mere politician, the mar
row gauge senator or representative
whom nothing but q miracle could deve''

his weary way among the departments
day after day and proudly points to the

grass grows and water runs President
Woodrow Wilson cannot FIRE the public
heart into enthusiasm for his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency by such discoveries
as that u court trials ought to he
speedier and that the speaker has too
much power.
If he really wants a thriller" he
might deliver a speech on this theme:
"How long should a Democrat who

The spoiIs system.

We have heard so much clatter about
civil service reform in these latter
days that many persons were begin

Undoubtedly reform is becoming epi-
demic. 1t has even reached Utah.
which certain moralists have deemed
utterly in%corrigible. One branch of
the Utah legislature has passed al
most unanimously q bill making it Il
felony to play bridge whist. which is
coming it rather strong for a beginner
in the school of reform. Bridge whist
bears about the same relation to faro
that a modern Club bears to he reg
ulation saloon. Reformers elsewhere
will watch the Utah reformers with
varying emotions. Governor Folk of
Missouri has been devoting much of
his time and energy to breaking up
gambling on horse races, but now he
learns that he is only a babe and sue
king in reform when compared with
the Utahs. who appear to be whole
hog reformers.

Ex-senator Fred T. Dubois nomi-

President Woodrow Wilson's Discoveries
Not long since in these letters l re-
ferred to the fact that my esteemed
contemporary, the Washington Herald,
devoted a column of eulogy to Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson for discovering
that the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives possessed too much power
and that he ought to be shorn Of a
large portion of it. I stated in that
connection that President Woodrow
Wilson was somewhat late with his
discovery about eighteen years be-
hind the times, in fact-and that the
Herald bestowed more than his guam
tum meruit of praise upon him. Now
comes my esteemed contemporary, the
Washington Post, and bestows a col
umn of editorial praise upon President
Woodrow Wilson for discovering the
fact that our trials in courts are not
conducted with sufficient expedition.
Why, bless my soul, the claws delay"
has been a subject Of complaint as far
back certainly as the days of Magma
Charta. How much farther back / wot
not. Shakespeare complains of it in
one of his finest passages.
Some day President Woodrow Will
son will solemnly in some
speech that if you add two to three
you will obtain five as a result, a dis
covery which will entitle him to two
columns Of editorial at least, judging
from the ~precedents. OF course a pa
per has a perfect right to do as it
pleases with Its space, but sure as

Summary Action.

Hon. Levi p. Morton, once vice pres
ident of the United States, does not
propose to bother with the laws delay
in a quarrel with a railroad. On the
contrary. he has taken the law into his
own hands in a way which must make
the managers of the New York Central
gasp for breath. This dispatch tells
the tale:
Poughkeepsie. N. Y, April 1o.-By direc-
ton of former Governor Levi P. Morton
800 feet of track belonging to the New
York Central Railroad company was torn
from its place south of the Rhinecliff sta
ton. The track, 1t Is declared, was on
property belonging to Mr.. Morton. When
Mr.. Morton took possession of his sum-
mer estate. 1t wa found that hat part of
the property lying adjacent to the New
York Central line had been cleared of
rock by blasting n that a side track had
been laid there. Mr.. Morton took steps TO
have the tracks removed then, but it was
arranged that in m for the use of
the property the railroad company should
issue passes over the road to members Of
the Morton family. When the company
cut off all passes, those to the Morton
family ceased.
That plan beats an ejectment suit all
hollow.
The New York Republican Row.
The signs of the times indicate that
the Republican factions in New York
are lining up for as bitter q fight as
was that betwixt the stalwarts under
Roscoe Conkling and the featherhead
followers of James G. Blaine. Every
body remembers that feud and what
came Of it, and it looks as though his
tory is about to repeat itself. OF course
Ex-Governor and ex-Boss Benjamin r.
Odell hates Roosevelt with intensity.
Jealousy partly accounts for it. He
was dreaming of the presidency him
self when Czolgosz's bullet changed so
many plans and knocked to pieces 81
many castles in the air. That Roose-
welt became president by reason of that
shot and knocked Odell's schemes and
hopes into a cooked hat always irri
tated him. Difference in temperaments
and methods accounts for much of the
hatred of these two men for one an
other. Lately ex-Congressman Wads-
worth has come out into the open
against the president and will no doubt
Join the Odell faction. So will Sena-
tors Plat and Depew. Nice fight, CON
stantly growing nicer-for us Demo
