Chippendale not only made chair:

line, except the one article with which
his name has been most frequently as.
sociated in later days. We refer to
sideboards. 1t is doubtful if he ever
made a sideboard. In his book there
is no reference to sidebOards. though
there are several large tables which
he calls "sideboard tables" Though
the word sideboard was used long be
fore his day. it is probable that the
early English sideboards were merely

NEW NAVY SCHEME
NEEDS ROOTS AID
President Anxious TO EStab-
liSh General Staff Or
ganiZatiOn.

The announcement was authorized at
the White House yesterday that Presi-
dent ROOseYelt's plan for the reorganiza-
ton Of the Navy Department includes
the appointment Of a commission to in
vestigate conditions carefully with a
view Of determining the feasibility of
adopting a general stan plan similar 10
that in operation in the War Depart
ment
It is the Presidents idea 10 select a
commission composed Of half a dozen
men whose standing would be sufficient
guarantee Of an unbiased inquiry into a
matter that has been very near TO the
Presidents heart for a number Of years
Although the White House IS not at
this time prepared TO commit itself. it
can be stated upon excellent authority
that the President viii tender the chair
manship of the commission to Elihu
Root, Secretary Of State.
There Is an impression that such an
inquiry as is purposed can be completed
before the end Of the Roosevelt Admin
istration. Quick work would be neces-
sary. It Is not thought that such a re-
Organization as is contemplated could
be enacted into law within that time,
however. for that II would meet with
opposition ia Congress IS admitted By
those VINO have tho plan most at heart.
The future OF Secretary Root is in
terwoven into the plan. That ne could
rot head the commission and discharge
his present duties appears to be an &C
Cepted fact. The President believes
Root will be elected Senator from New
York within q few months. but it Is not
possible 10 postpone the inquiry If it is
70 be completed before March 4.
The question now being asked IS
whether Root may resign TO accept the
new work and enable the President to
elevate Postmaster General Meyer 70
the post which It is understood he as
pires 20.

they denounce our action as arbitrary
and ruinous The roads will find out
sooner or later that il is better for
them to have a fair and Intelligent tri-
| bunal to pass on these matters rather
than a tribunal anxious 20 harass them"
The whole rate law is to stand or fall
by the decision OF the Supreme Court
ia case now before Il, Il involves the
famous question OF court review about
which the Senate spent weeks Of de-
bate and which brought on the rupture
between the President. Chanler and Till
man The case is that Of the William
cite Lumber Company, III which the
roads question the Teasonablsness of
the rate fixed by the commission. II
! the court sustains the commission, the
rate law will be regarded as having
some teeth in it. bur if the railroads
win the commissioners say the act might
as well be wiped of the statute books
and all idea abandoned of regulating rail-
roads until the Constitution il amended.
We are at A very critical point IN
/ the whole policy Of Federal regulation
| OF railroads." said a member OF the
| commission. In the next few months
/ the Supreme Court will render some mo-
/ mentOus decisions along this me II
! the law as il now stands IS rot an
effective regulating measure then don't
/ know that we can devise one under
| the present Constitution. II you cannot
/ regulate the roads with this act the
| Constitution must be amended because
| the people have made up their minds
| TO exercise a certain amount of control
| over the roads.
The point at issue concerns the court
| review provision. II will be renem-
| bered that one set Of Senators claimed
/ that the act could provide that the
| court might pass upon the reasonable
/ ness of the rate fixed by the commits
/ sion. The other side said the court
/ shall only pass On the lawfulness of
/ the order and determine whether #
was constitutional ia effecting 2 con-
/ hscatiOn Of property. The final bill
/ agreed to say nothing about this feature
/ but left the whole thing open for the
/ courts 10 take whatever Jurisdiction
/ they liked.
! I'VE contend that the only Jurisdiction
| that the court can take is TO pass upon
| the lsWfulness Of the order and not go
into the question Of judgment affecting
! the reasOnableness OF the rate. In this
! Willamette case the commission spent
| d long time hearing testimony and ar
| guments and delberated a week before
| arriving at a conclusion. The railroads
| say this act Of judgment on our part
| as to what IS a reasonable rate can be
! reviewed by the court, We say il can
not; that the only power the court has
is 10 inquire whether We have acted
lawfully and whether our conclusion is
! lawful one.
IF it conhscates the property Of the
| railroad. OF course the order will be set
| aside. But if we have proceeded fairly
| and honestly and reached an honest
; conclusion our contention is that this
conclusion cannot be disturbed The
whole rate fixing power is involved and
a defeat for the Government will have
! far-re4ching consequences"

Hopeless

Representative Fowler. of New Jer-
sey, sticks TO his original platform that
the real thing 10 do - relieve Congress
OF so-caIIed Cannonism is to elect the
Committee on Rules rather than allow
the Speaker TO appoint it. Mr.. Fowler
is himself candidate for the Speaker
Job, and it is believed would take II.
even If a few Of the perquisites we're
curtailed
Representative Fowler was asked to
exploit his ideas further as he left the
White House yesterday, after a confer

asked if his conversation had to do with
the undoing Of the Speaker. Mr.. FOw-
Ter showed remarkable reticence, con-
siderins the fact that he's candidate

this time anything 10 my recent letter
addressed TO the members or the

White House. This letter, It viii be re-
called, reCited that Representative F'ow-
Ter was running on a platform that
would do away with the so-called auto
cratic power Of the Speaker by electing
the Committee on Rules. Furthermore,
Mr. Fowler believes I'm increasing the
members OF this committee to seven in
lieu OF FIVE Representative Fowler,
judging by HIS remarks, is still in the
race on rather unusual platform
Representative James Tawney, who f.
a stanch Cannon lieutenant. is under
stood TO have replied TO Mr.. Fowler s
letter by saying that II a Speaker had
enough votes 10 elect himself he would
have enough influence to dominate the
Committee on Rules and that conse-
quently the Fowler plan didn't shed
any great amount Of hope upon the sit
uatiou for the insurgents.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body Sc

Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tions of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for health.
Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate
the kidneys; help them to do their
work; never fail to cure any case of
kidney disease.
]. D. Christian, living on Clarks-
vile Street, Elkton. KY, says: my
kidneys were disordered for a long
time, and although | took many
remedies, l never received relief un-
til l used Doan's Kidney Pills. They
were so entirely satisfactory that I'm
constantly recommending them to
other sufferers of kidney complaint.
Doan's Kidney Pills certainly rid my
system of Kidney complaint in a re.
markably short time"
