CONGRESSMEN AND PASSES.
1t is asserted that the provision of
the new rate law inhibiting free
transportation in interstate travel is
being strictly observed, particularly
with reference to the families, friends
and dependents of congressman and
government employees. Observers at
Washington agree that never before
have so many national legislators
come to the capital unaccompanied by
their families. The breaking up of
the habit of bringing them there at
the opening of the session and then all
returning home for the holidays and
coming back for the remainder of the
session is a fact too significant of one
effect of the law to be overlooked. The
result will certainly tend to relieve the
national legislature from a suspicion
was seriously imparing public conf
dence. The extent of the abuse can be
more clearly appreciated now that the
effects of the remedy are visible. And
it should be an object lesson for the
numerous state legislatures which are
about to convene and of which most
of the members besides are under
pledges, express or implied to apply
in state Jurisdiction the rule of the
national law.-Omaha Bee.

peen built that lift as great volume
of water as does this one, but they do
not deliver it under such enormous
pressure. This pump is tested to with
stand a maximum pressure of 25t
pounds to the square inch. Its capacity
is 13,000, 900 gallons per day of twenty
four hours, or 5000 gallons per minute.
This enormous volume Is delivered
through a half-mile of pipe line, the
pipe being of steel, twenty-five inches
in diameter. The water Is lifted to
