LONGWORTH SAYS
BUY EMBASSIES
Calls Attention to the Poor Pay
of Our Diplomats, Compared
With Other Countries.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 22.-
Representative Nicholas Longworth. Of
Ohio, offered an amendment to the d.
in the House to-day. appropriating 100000
for the acquisition of proper sites and
buildings in foreign capitals to be used
by the embassies and legations OF the
United States. Although the amendment
was ruled out OF order, 1t gave Mr.. Long
worth an opportunity to emphasize his
position on the same subject, as was
made known during the last session. He
said that there was not a nation on
earth approaching our wealth and power
that does not pay to its diplomatic en-
voys from five to six times what we do
to ours.
NO salary paid to any official of
this government should be SO large,
said Mr.. Longworth, that the office
should be sought for tho money to be
made out of it, and. on the contrary.
no salary should be so small that men
of ability, learning and patriotism
should be deferred from taking pub
lie office because they cannot live prop
erly upon their salary. rhe test of
fitness of any man to hold public Office
should be his intellectual partss' not his
financial circumstances"
speaking OIL DIT DuIdllu, tue
former British Ambassador, Mr.. Long
worth said /:
"Only last year the English ambassa-
dor for this country asked for and re-
ceived an increase of $4,000 year in
his salary, bringing it up. so am in
formed to $4,000 a year. In addition to

the cost of the up-keep OF the embassy
being paid by the British government,
and in addition to all this, a substantial
amount for entertaining.
.sWhatever may have been said in
the newspapers against the late ambassa-
dor certainly it has never been charged
that he lived with any undue display or
in any other manner than as dignified
gentleman, and in manner to properly
represent a great and friendly power.
when we compare the compensation
OF the British ambassador here with that
of our ambassador to England. who is
paid $4,000 a year, with no other al
lowances whatever, the comparison boz
comes utterly and outrageously absurd,
and simply brings us to the fact which
has not been and cannot be denied,

THE PASSING OF
THE FREE SEEDS
Congressman Lamb Is Full Of
Anguish and Sad Lament
in, Consequence.
Fron our Regular correspondent)


WASHINGTON, d. c., January a.
1t does really look as though the free
distribution OF seeds, garden and flower.
through members OF Congress, would
cease to be perqusite OF our national
lawmakers. The House Committee on
formulating the agricultural appropria-
ton BILL provides that the sum of s242,-
900 heretofore appropriated for the pur-
chase OF seeds to be distributed by
Representatives and Senators shall be
used in the purchase and distribution
OF rare and valuable seeds by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture. But 1t Is also
provided that the Secretary shall get
from members and Senators every year
a list of those to whom 1t Is desired that
seeds be sent, and, SO far as possible.
the head of the Department. of Agricul-
ture shall send seeds to the persons des-
ignated.
This is far from satisfactory to Sena-
tors and members. In fact, Representa-
tive Lamb the senior Democrat on the
Committee on Agriculture, said to-day
that a number of members with whom
he had talked said they preferred having
no provision in the bill! regarding the Tree
distribution by members than have the
