subject there was great deal Of de-
bate it being contended that Pres-

place. Great interest attached 10 this
! legislation because of the converting
by President Roosevelt Of the confer
enee Of governors during the present

sidered in both branches of congress,

The announced policy of President
Roosevelt to veto bills for the con-
structlon OF dams across naviSablC
streams unless such b;iis provided foi
the compensation OF the government

limitation on the time the franchise

such measures being side tracked.
A determined effort was made il
the senate to take a step looking to-
ward ship subsidy. The ocean mai
subventIon bill was passed az al
amendment to the postofice approprl
alton bill. 1t met with opposition II

We think the law compelling
candidates to make affidavits to
their expense account during a
campaign is a farce. We doubt if
one of them give in an honest ac-

devil around the stump and report
the small contributions and leave
the big corporation gifts, out, and
who can tell anything about it.
The law only makes liars out of
some good fellows, that's all. Paris

slender purses aRd the cultivation of a
spirit OF mendIeaney In servitors

is done BY ne swelling Of the spirit
OF generosity At this holy time. But
the relief II tAs pOor and pnfortunats
is o blessed work that can never work
injury 70 him vtao ssTss.
