close friends Of the appointing power,
there is ample opportunity for "mon-
key business" of a particularly vicious
sort.
It is to laugh when reference is made
in the dispatches to the efforts of the
Estate of South Carolina to procure
labor in the old world to run her fac
tories" Any business man knows that
the state does not pay much attention
to the private affairs of the people. If
you will imagine that some enterpris-
ing labor agency is connected with
the powers that be in the state to give
a percentage of the profits for the pre-
tense Of state importation of labor, to
be turned over to private corporations,
and thereby avoid the disagreeable en-
counters with the Federal Government
incident to importing contract labor,
you will see through the game. And
this in the year nineteen hundred and
seven. All Washington is laughing
over the smooth game.
Should Congressman be compelled to
attend the daily sessions of the House
and Senate? This question is ever re-
curing, and probably will be like the
poor, always with us. In the first
place, the system bu;lded by past legis-
lators is conducive to rapid, clean legis.
lation, and is whipped into shape by
the various committees. Practically
nothing said on the floor affects the
actions of the legislators, for no matte,
how bitterly matter is attacked, il
goes through according to the origina
plans. Another thing, those members
of Congress who are so fond Of silver
tongued speeches are not, as a rule, OF
important committees; at least not al
their head. A flip-tongued individual
is not usually deep thinker, and tn
result is that the men who seldom ap
pear in the Congressional Record ar
the ones who do the work.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2, 1907.
To the Bowbells Tribune:
Representative Lacey of Iowa "put it
to them straight" few days before the
adjournment of Congress for the Christ
mas holidays in regard to reckless
waste of time at the beginning of a
session and the pushing through of OBJ
jectionable legislation at the end Of the
winters work. And in fact he spoke
truer than many suppose. In the wee
sma' hours of the night when Congress
is giving continuous performance
there is ample opportunity for amend
ments to be tackled onto bills put on
their passage, and credence is given to
the statements that this actually oc-
ours. Frequently during the closing
hours there will be but handful of
members in either chamber. and there
is understood to have been numerous
tricks played iii the past to get a men,
ber known to be antagonistic to a GER
tain measure to go to committee
room 'to see man" while the deal
is consummated. ...
+ But do not think that all members of
Congress are negligent to the interests
of the country or their constituents.
The vast majority Of Congressman and
Senators are Woodworking men, and
devote their time exclusively while in
Washington to the purposes for which
they were elected A large number
have returned to their districts during
the Christmas recess to get in touch
with the desires of their constituents,
for be it known that member of Con-
gress can not always depend on the ad-
vice freely given in letters and tele-
grams from their home districts.
Campaigning is becoming such a COM
mon art that whenever a politician,
business man, or trade organization
wants anything done in the line of a
favor recourse is had to the printing
press and circular letters are sent to
everyone within hailing distance asking
that a letter or telegram be sent to
Washington insisting on certain action.
Is the Western atmosphere condu-
Give to activity? That inference might
be given by the actions of Representa-
Etives Gronna and Marshall of North
Dakota. The latter spent his holidays
trying to find solution of the car
, shortage which threatens his state.

stirring up the executive branches Of

the government through letter to the
President, as to the car shortage ques-
tion, also started the agitation which
resulted in modification of the coal
land entry decision. Through misun-
derstanding coal lands were withdrawn
from entry in any manner. when the
President had intended to withdraw it
from coal-land entry only. The lands
in North Dakota alone affected by the
modified order comprise 1,774, ,0SO acres.
Among party of Congressman and
Senators visiting the Panama Canal
during the holiday recess was Repre-
sentative J. R. Knowlton of California.
Before leaving for the Isthmus Mr..
Knowlton said: 1.-The laboring people
Of California particularly are opposed
to the hiring of coolie labor for the con-
struction of the canal, and we Califor-
nians who are going down to see the
conditions for ourselves feel that we
will be in better position to act more
intelligently upon this subject"
But little heed is given in Washing
ton to the demands" of some organi-
cations that the canal be dug with
American labor. When there is de-
mand through the country for labor
that can not be supplied, and when
street improvements and building oper-
ations in this city are tied up for
months by the lack of labor of every
kind, not much attention is given to
the demands builded on a supposition
of conditions only consistent with fer
vid imagination.
The proposition of Representative
De Almond of Missouri that conven.
ton be held to consider amendments to
the constitution is attracting considera.
BILE attention, particularly as it comes
from Democrat. The loudest ''hol.
Ter" has come from the Democrats
that the constitution was being ignored,
and that the traditions Of Jefferson, et
al, should be preserved.

Representative Crumpacker of Indian.

Irish in Cuba

You see and hear a good many Irish
nares in Havana, writes William f.
Curtis. The O'Reillys, the O'Donnells
and O'Farrells, and the O'Lawlelrs are
quite prominent Several others of the
Wealthiest families i'm the island are
descended from immigrants who came
from Ireland after the battle of the
Eoyne in 1869. You also find them in
Chile, Peru and other parts Of South
America. where they have distin-
guished themselves as soldiers, sailors
and statesmen.
In Cuba they appear to have done
very well i'm business capacity. and
Leopold O'Donnell, who was governor
general of the island from 1S43 TO
lS4S, is said to have acquired such inn
mcnse wealth during his term of Of
fee that the king was jealous of him
when he went back to Spain.
From the year 1894 until the Amer
lean occupation in 1892, the O'Reilly
family held by royal grant a monopoly
of transporting the carcasses Of beef
from the slaughter house to the mar
kets shops of Havana, and they col
lected 80 cents for every carcas. Their
revenues amounted TO several hundred
thousand dollars 3 year. General
Brooke cancelled this ancient contract
and since then the city of Havana has
performed the same service at half the
price with considerab BILE profit.

Irish International Exhibition

Dublin is just now entertaining a
vast number of visitors called TO her
gates by the Irish international eXhi-
bition, which was opened to the public
May f. This great undertaking is
housed in a handsome structure and
partakes something of the nature of
the big fairs such as have been held
in this country and in Paris in recent
years, although il is not on such an
extensive scale. The exposition is
drawing a large number of visitors
from England and all parts OF the
United Kingdom, as we'll as many
Americans who are on that side of the
ocean at the present time. The exhi-
bition is a comprehensive one. showing
as it does the resources of the country.

as those of other countries. Several
members of the royal family of Eng
land have visited the show and it is
quite likely that King Edward viii see

who has the finest tongue of Irish, and
whose services to the language as a
teacher have not been less strenuous
and disinterested than his work for the
