WITH THE EDITORS.
Self House.

Pity the poor congressman who
wanted to consider the salary-raise
question from the viewpoint of public
policy. If his Judgment led him to
favor $4,000 q year more he knew that
he would be accused of being ami
mated solely by a mean desire for
private gain; If he opposed the increase
he knew that his colleagues and large
section of the public would believe that
he was merely controlled by fear of
his constttutents-wa hypocritically
trying to pose as better than others.
Nevertheless, although full allow
ance be made for his condition. the
widest eulogist of the house will find
difficulty in excusing yesterdays be-
havior. Why was there no roll-can?
But one explanation is possible Why
did the house not vote the increase
before rather than after the election?
Again but one explanation is possible
Why did 1T not defer the increase until
March 4, 1909? More than two thirds
of the present house are members of
the next one, and with the increase go
| ing into effect March next it is i'm
possible to assert that these particu-
lar congressman have not raised their
own salaries.
The worst fooled men in the United
States will be the congressman who by
preventing a roll-call, think they have
prevented their connection with the
| legislation becoming known There
were reporters and visitors In the gal
| lery and a roll-call will be gradually
made up-not an official one of course
but one whose substantial accuracy
will be accepted. VIII 1t be safe to
prevaricate when, in convention or on
the stump the specific question is put
of whether the candidate voted for or
against what will be called the grab"
The house. by its sneaking and covert
methods, has manufactured suspicion
against itself-has made 1t more like
ly that the congress elected in 1908 Will
differ in personnel form the one elected
last fall.-New York Globe.

POLITICAL POINT OF VIEW
Remark on That Subject Gives the
House a Good Laugh.

Washington, Jan. "a. - While the
house was considering the clause of
the pension bill that cuts the number
of pension agencies from eighteen to
nine Norris of Nebraska wanted to
know what actual saving there would
be If the payment of pensions was
conducted entirely from Washington.
About half million dollars" re-
piled Gardner. what objections are
there against making Washington the
distributing point for all the pension
business Of the country?" asked Nor
ris.
Theoretically, and from a business
point of view, there are absolutely no
objections, but from a political point
Of view there are eighteen objections"
replied Gardner, a sally that was fol-
lowed by hearty outburst Of laughter.

The Fruit That Failed.

Rochester Post-Express.
Possibly not, but it has had great
place in the history of the world just
the same. In this connection a story:
1t is reported that last summer when
Admiral Schley was a guest at the
Sycamore hotel, Lake George, he went
fishing with the Rev. Ernest H. Stires,
rector of st. Thomas Episcopal church
in this city, on DR.. Stires' electric
launch. Somewhere between bites the
admiral cut an apple and handed a
half to the rector. The talk drifted to
APPLES. and the admiral asked who made
it. The quick-witted rector is said tc
have replied:

It is enough to know that Adam, Will
lam Tell and Sir Isaac Newton eacf
had an affair with an apple, but WITH
different results Fishing was re-
sumed.-New York Globe

THAT'S WHAT WE KNOW.

In London it has been decided that
while Governor Swettenham may have
been a bit impolite he was strictly
within his rights" in ordering Admiral
Davis and his marines off the island
of Jamaica.
1t took the British a long while to
reach this conclusion, matter which
no one on this side of the Atlantic has
doubted for a moment
The situation is much the same as
that of citizen imprisoned in a burn
ing house, discovered by passers-b by
who come to his rescue. The citizen
has the right to order his would be
rescuers from the premises as their
invasion technically could be con-
strued as burglary. but it would be
neither wise nor decent for him to
do 1T.

A Literary Hobo.

Josiah Flynt willard, better known
to the public as Josiah Flynt, whose
death at Chicago was announced yes
terday, was born tramp. In his
writings on tramp life and on various
phases of crime with which he be-
came acquainted during his wander
ings, he processes to have taken to
the road for the sake of engaging in
sociological studies, but that is sheer
pretense. His travess began when he
was a mere boy and before he had
any thought or knowledge of sociolo-
gical matters.
The curse OF the wandering foot
was upon him, coming from who knows
what source In a current magazine
article from his pen, writing imper-
sonally and Of tramps in general he
seems to ascribe the propensity to
heredity. 'Laziness, loafing. wander
lust and begging" lie says, ARE to-
day what they have ever been-quaH-
ties and habits that are passed on
from generation to generation, prac-
tically intact" This does not apply
to him so far as his immediate an
cestry is concerned, for he came OF
most reputable parentage, his father
being a brother of the late Frances
willard, and his mother a cultured
woman whose father was one of the
founders of Northwestern university
Yet who knows but that the traits OF
some more remote ancestor descended
to him, passing over the intervening
generations in the mysterious way thai
