Doctor Don Jose MadriZ, one of the

Secretary of State, and has had thrill

A sentiment for peace and for closer
union pervades all the Central Ameri-
can countries. The struggles toward
that end have always had popular sup
port, but have been thwarted by politi-
clans, who played upon the peoples
jealousies and prejudices. 1t is felt
that if peace can be assured as a result
of the Washington conference closer
political union and cooperation Will
follow as matter of course. Much
has been done by agreements and con-
ventions toward guaranteeing the equal
rights of citizens of one Republic while
residing in another Republic, toward
making merchant vessels home vessels
in the waters of adjacent Republics and
toward establishing in all Central
America "a common educational sys-
tenn, essentially homogeneous, tending
to effect the moral and intellectual uni
fcation of the sister countries" Sew

Marblehead, drawn in 1906 on board

The best laid plans have invariably
been upset at the eleventh hour by one
or more of the Republics refusing Its
cooperation. and if that is not the case
with the forthcoming peace conference
there will be a new chapter to write
soon about Central America.

A few of the members. notably those

doesn't it? If a Chinaman were to be
elected to Congress we would probably
witness his swearing-in on a bleeding
chicken with half-severed head.
Then the great lottery began-the
drawing of seats by members. The
members are named alphabetically on
a roll, and each bears a number from
one to 391, the numbers of members in
the House. A big box is filled with
marbles, each bearing a number from
one to 391. A page is blindfolded. and
reaches into that box and draws forth
"a marble, from which a clerk reads
the number, and the member whose al
phabetical place on the roll is indicated
by that number proceeds to hustle for
a seat. If a Republican, on the Repub
lican side of the House; IL a Democrat
then on the Democratic side. 1t may
be that 391 is the first to come from
the box, and the Iast-named member
thus gets his choice of all the seats on
his political side of the House. while
one may be the very last to turn up in
the hands of the page.
Lotteries and Lotteries.
1t is a little mystifying. however, that
the United States Government so per-
sistently hunts lotteries and things of
that character to earth, yet in its dis
tribution of Government lands and of
seats in its great National Legislature
it always resorts to a lottery. Then
there was the customary scrap between
the Republicans and Democrats over
the adoption of the rules, but Reeds
rules won out. They always do.
After the seats were all selected, the
House, having got good and ready to
adjourn. adjourned out of respect to
the memory of its dead colleagues" their

ants.
His boom has the sympathy of all
the aspirants possibly, except Secretary
Taft. The Knox, Cannon and Fairbanks
boomers welcomed it, as it meant a
blow for the Taft boom. and ali the
other candidates arc still anxious to
put Taft out of the ring as an active
candidate. Some think the Senator may
be offering himself up as yicarious
sacrifice, but tactically il is agreed that
he is doing the shrewdest possible thing
if he wishes to combat the Taft candi-
dacy. For it is well understood in poll
tics that simple opposition avails little.
1t is far more effective to have can
didate with which to oppose an OBJ
