lation than its pred ecessor in many
years. believe, and it is my opinion
that the great majority of the people
believe with me, that that work was
necessary and was well done.
@ BY amendment and otherwise the
18th congress enacted much new legis-
.lation which is to be tried and tested
Suppl Elemental legislation may be neces-
sary, but it should be enacted in the
spirit Of justice and not OF retalia-
ton or revenge. We are to exercise
power with care that it be not for a
mere exhibition Of strength without
the restraint OF; caution against injus-
tice. ,s4i3
Including the permanent appropria-
tons, the last session of congress APP
propriated more than 100000, 900 for.
the present fiscal year, a startling
amount in the abstract, but owing to
our. enormous production and business
activity, expend itures have been kept
within the income Of the government
without creating nsw sources of rev.
Ienue. This great appropriation has
brought us criticisms that it was a
billion dollar session. and vet the de-
mands made upon the seth congress
for appropriations aggregated many
million dollars more, and if granted
would have carried us, beyond the
revenues brought into the treasury
under existing law.
TN providing for the public service
during the sixtieth congress we should
bear in mind that the development of
the country, marvellous as 1T is, is still
in its infancy
In my Judgment it is not wise to
increase the revenues of the govern
ment, neither is it necessary or adj
Visable to transfer the burdens from
local and state treasures to the fed
l#eral treasury, to foster centra1izing
power and responsibility which of

| We have been admonished by
events that it is not the time for ex-
trayagance of excursions into the
realm OF experiment in legislation. 1t
is my Judgment we should hold fast
to the principles laid down by the
4 fathers that the federal government
is one of limited powers, but supreme
where it has jurisdiction and that we
should leave to the people Of the
states the jurisdiction not granted to
federal government and also leave up
on them the responsibility and bur.

The HUn1cback Salmon.

Sam Cornelius caught genuine
humpback salmon in his net Monday
morning. This species is rare here,
put few having been taken in the
past. On the Alaskan coast they are
caught and canned BY the million,
but they seldom venture this fa1
south.
The specimen, which was on exhi.
elt1on at the market, is a very unat'
tractive one, and we would hesitate
about eating any of Is The hump
starts just back of the head and ex-

head is long and pointed, with q
mouth and teeth like a VOLTS, the
whole makeup constituting very

I understand that the time is not

watch will be a reality. This does
not mean that perpetual motion has
been discovered but an attachment
Is being added to the tinepiece which
werks something like a pedometel

acts on the main spring. The man
who comes home from the club late

under these conditions find his watch

threadbare excuse for hardness that
the timepiece had run down will not
do for the future.-The Observer in
