CONGRESSIONAL
in The HOUSE

Washington, D. c., May 26.-The
two floor leaers of the house again
today occupied the center of the
stage and performed their usual feat
of charging each other, with RESPONSE
bility for conditions at present in
that body.
1t came about through an order
presented by Mr.. Payne of New York,
granting five days leave after adj
journment in which to print in the
Congressional Record remarks that
might have been, but were not made,
on the floor. He took occasio nto
arraign the Democrats for their fill
buster, and said that the Republic
cans had no apology to make for
their course.
Mr.. Williams accused the majority
of doing nothing at the present SEES
sion and opposed the order because
it gave members no opportunity to
reply to statements, which he felt in
advance would call for an answer.
The order was adopted.
Following this discussion business
proceeded at rapid gait. The con-
ference report on the military acad-
envy appropriation bill was agreed
to. It's consideration was marked
by a vigorous speech BY Mr. Stay
den of Texas, against the senate
amendment permitting the education
of four Filipinos at West Point.
Bills were passed as follows:
Granting Salt Lake City, Utah, the
right of way across Fort Douglas
military reservation for pipe line
and giving similar authority across
the Plattsburg, N. r., military res
ervation for right Of way to the
| Delaware and Hudson River Railway
company; refunding certain stamp
taxes on foreign bills of exchange
and certain duties on anthracite coal
illegally collected; providing for OPP
ening to settlement of portions of the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indian
agencies; promoting the safety of
employees on railroads by requiring
equipment of locomotives with ash
cans thai Can be dumped without re-
curing the employs to go under the
locomotives; promoting the safe
transportation Of explosives.
The committee on appropriation.
suffered defeat in the rejection of the
bill to acquire certain lands as an
addition to Rock Creek park in the
District of Columbia. After passing
resolutions reclassifying clerks in the
government departments at Washing
ton and declaring entitled to their
seats Messrs. McGavin Republican,
and SABBATH (Democrat) as repres-
entatives from Illinois, the house al
7:43 o'clock, owing to the difficulty
of keeping a quorum, recessed until

WILL TALK GOOD
ROADS AT LARINoRE
EXPERTS WILL SPEAK AT THE
CONVENTION TO oPENsA
JUNE 8.

The good roads convention, which
will assemble in Larimore June 8, will
bear the same relation to the welfare
of the state as the recent governors
gathering at Washington does, to the
nation. The subject of good roads is
by far the most important economic
question before the people of this
state today. The people here boast.
and with reason, of the wonderful
richness of their soil and the pro-
gressive character of the public in.
situations; they cannot boast that we
are making the best of the opportnni.
ties so long as there are no perma.
nent roads in the state. Out Of about
10000 miles of road there are about
200 miles of improved roads.
At this convention there will be
several practical men who have made
a special study of the roads prob
lem and will be prepared to give the
result of their experience and inyes.
LEGATIONS. The subject of national and
state aid is one of the most important
subjects that will be discussed.
In New York the state pays so per
cent of the cost of state roads, the
country pays IS per cent and the
town Is per cent. This has resulted
in splendid system of hard roads
that are good at all seasons and in all
kinds of weather. They are built on
scientific principles and should last
for ages.
President J. H. Worst Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college will pre-.

DO YOU WANT LOWER POSTAGE?

1t is stated that the United States
government is making 100 per cent
profit on all first class postage, and
should they reduce the rate on letters
one cent on this class, SO per cent,
making the rate on letters one cent.
and postal cards one-half cent, they
would still be making 300 per cent

you can afford to pay it? If you think
SO, then write yourself and ask farm
