people of the country generally
rejoice. 1t has been one of the
most extravagant legislative
bodies ever met together in the
name of the people, but in its
last hours, in a spasm of homes
ty, it did agood act by defeating
the so called Ship Subsidy Bill,
"a measure in the interest of
monopoly, and in defeating the
intended steal, the members of
congress who defeated itare en-
titled to the gratitude of the peo-
pie. Many of the members of
the 59th congress will not have
the honor of a seat in that body
as members, but in after ages,
as a heritage to their children,
they can point to this vote where
they stood between the peple
and the spoilsmen and saved to
the people millions of dollars
of money annually. This vote
will cause their names to be re-
membered as Of those who so
voted as to advance the best in
terest of the whole country.
That there has been a spirit
of extravaganza permeating the
work of Congress must be ac-
knowledged by all, one act in
particular is the late salary
steal. How any set of honora-
BILE men could afford to, after
their election, vote to raise their
own salary is a question that
will long puzzle the public and
haunt the men who committed
the wrong. A twenty-five hum
dred dollar increase is rather
large, considering the fact that
not one in ten of these gen.
tlemen could make so much at
home, to say nothing of the
five thousand dollars, their for
mer salary, the two added ma
king $7,500.O0 per annum.
A few years ago a Congress-
man only received a salary of
100000 per annum, and yet
that amount commanded the
services of the most distin-
guished men Of the nation.
This spirit of extravaganza
seems torun through every de-
partment of government, and If
not checked, will bankrupt the
nation. The appropriation for
1907 is about 1919, 948,679. Our
population has increased As per
cent and our expenses 300 per
cent. If as great an effort was
made by Congress to advance
the interest of labor as is made
to advance monopoly if an eff
fort was made to benefit the
men who delve and dig, and to
lessen their expenses by equal
ling the tariff, the change
would be a welcome one to a
large class of men who do the
work and add to the wealth OF
the Nation, but not an effort
not a move is made by Con
gress tobenef1t labor, but when
told of this growing national
extravaganza, we are reminded
that "this is a billion dollar
Nation with a big NJ"
forgetting entirely that
class of men who create
our national wealth, by advan-
cling the mechanical and agri-
cultural industries Of the coun-
try, and without whom this ma
ition would soon cease to be a
billion dollar government.

ably suited to the work, being without
extremes of heat and free from ma

the first time and they attracted much
attention in the aquarium because OF
their odd forms and the brilliance OF
their colorfng. The expedition pur
sued its studies for six months.
These summer expeditions were sue.
cessfully continued for six years, and
on the invitation of New York univer.
sity Harvard university joined in the
work. In the summer of 1903 q gen
eral invitation was sent out to col
lege faculties to accompany the expo.
dition that year, and 81 professors
and instructors responded and joined
the investigators. A temporary sta
ton was formed at the Flats, which
has been used at each of the annual
expeditions since.
The expeditions also won warm
friends at Bermuda. In 1904 the colon.
ial government passed an act to pro.
