The Power. that Re.


Under our present extraordinary adj
ministration the process of centrallza-
ton goes on apace. AS everyone knows,
the executive departments have moth
ing to do with Congress, except to
draw the money appropriated with reg
ularity, and after spending 1t report
what has been done with 1t. The Pres
ident alone has power under the Con-
stitutiOn to recommend such measures
as lie may deem necessary for the pub
lie business. But President Roosevelts
young men. who he has made members
of his Cabinet, seem to imagine they
are the whole shooting match and that
it is not only necessary for them to
run their departments, but to force on
the attention of Congress such meas
ures as they desire enacted into law.
Thus, on Dec. 10, Mr. Garfield, Secre-
tary OF the Interior, introduced into
Congress no less than thirteen bills,
through communications to the Senate.
Possibly these measures may be of the
utmost necessity or advantage, butithe
Interior Department was created for
carrying oft the laws III - Congress
may see At to pass, as far as they re
late to matters over which that de-
partment has supervision and no
further. When Congressman want In
formation from the executive depart
ments upon which to base bill to re-
form some abuse, they often find it
impossible to get the necessary infor-
nation, because forsooth the matter
does not meet the appreciation of the
young man in charge of affairs. Such
is one form of Capitalization.

Straight Railway Track.

In spite Of the apparently mathe
NAUTICAL straight lines which many OF
the Western railways appear to fol.
low on the map, 1t has been stated
that the record in this respect will be
beaten by the new national trans.
continental railway. otherwise known
as the Grand Trunk Pacific, seventy
miles OF which will be constructed
without curve. Five years ago,
however. length of seventy-one
miles of perfectly straight railway
track was constructed on the extern
sion Of the Rhodesia Railways from
Bulawayo in the direction OF the Vic.
toria Falls. So far. therefore, as the
length of straight line is concerned,
the record is held by the portion OF
the Rhodesia Railways above referred
to-London Times.

stnte Rights.

At the convention of the Attorney
Generals of the thirteen States Of the
Mississippi Valley, held at st. Louis.
nearly all defended the reserved rights
of the States from federal usurpation.
A strong desire was expressed to re-
strict the power-of federal courts in
their dealings with affairs pertaining
wholly to State. Thus the march of
modern events justifies the Jefferson
ion doctrine of the rights of the States
over the Hamiltonian doctrine of the
Capitalization of power in the federal
government.

Liberal Denver.

Liberal Denver.
The criticism of Republican organs
of the action of the Democratic Nation
al Committee In accepting the offer of
100000 In cash from Denver for
holding the National Convention there
Is based on nothing. There is no ques-
ton of tainted money, as those critics
would have us believe. There can be
no attempt to coerce the convention on
platform or candidate, for the Demo-
cratic committee will have the money
in Its war chest before the convention
acts. 1t was purely matter of bust
ness. and the only people that have
any cause for kicking are those dele
gates or Democratic visitors to the
convention VINO are called upon to pay
greater railroad fares than they would
have had to pay had the convention
been held in Chicago or Louisville. 1t
virtually amounts to Denver making
subscription to the Democratic Nation
al Committee of $75,O 600. for the actual.
expenses of the convention are but
$4,000, and those delegates with Visit
ors who have to pay the larger rail-
road fare and expenses are assessed
this extra amount by the Denver en-
tertalners when the time comes.
Tainted money is always secretly
paid; the Denver bonus Is paid openly
and above board, and there is no pos
sible way In which there can be any
thing improper in receiving 1t. 1t will
be mighty handy to the committee.
and as'"our friend the enemy" pay the
most of the money, 1t may prevent
them from making their usual dona-
tlon to the Republican corruption fund,
which is a double gain to the Democ-
racy.

Renuhlican prosneritx.

Confidence is gone, and confidence
Is the basis of all prosperity. So says
John d. Rockefeller. But the stand
patters say that the tariff is the basis
Of all prosperity. Other Republicans
claim that the said basis consists Of
the gold standard and the national
bank system. But confidence is surely
gone so far as nll these things are
concerned; and that is possibly what
Rockefeller meant. For, of course. he
could not admit that trusts bring either
hard times or prosperity, or that conf
dence or lack of confidence in trusts
and trust managers could affect the
country. The trusts are only innocent
bystanders, rs he views 1t.

Boy SUES A GOVERNOR.

Texas Lad May Compel Stnte'n Ex-
ecutiye TO Pay 800.
Gov. 7. P. Campbell, of Texas, has
been sued in magistrates court by u
boy, who demands $1OO for two dogs
says the New York World.
After the Governor spoke Mt Meridian
on Oct. III he held an impromptn recep.
ton, to the great satisfaction Dc The
throng In attendance. On the outskirts
of the crowd was n 16-year-old boy who
had two hound puppies tied with rope
and he was trying to sell tile dogs for
any price. They We're of the NANCY
foNhound variety, and nobody wanted
them: To get rid of the lad one man
told him to go to Gov. Campbell; that
he was buying dogs for the State, and
was paying big prices for them.
"Whatchureckon he'd give for my
dogs?" asked the boy.
oh, any price," the man said. "The
State pays the money and the Govern
or don't care; 80 see him.
Leading the two dogs, the boy pushed
his way in to where the Governor was
talking to a crowd of his admirers and
asked him to buy the dogs. The Gov
ernor saw at once there was joke on
and he humored 1t.
"All right, buddie how much do you
ask for theni?'
II reckon they are worth 500 for
the pair the boy said.
"All right said the Governor, help.
ing along what he thought was BIT
of pleasantry; ship them to me al
Austin and will send you the money
The boy left to make arrangements
to ship the two puppies and the Gov.
ernor continued his talk with his
friends.
Now, one of the dogs didn't belong tc
the boy, but to neighbor's boy, and
the boy who sold them to the Governor
went TO this boy and made a trade
with him. giving him S. for his dog
$45 less than the Governor agreed tc
pay.
The boy Grated the dogs and shipped
them G. O. D. from Meridian to Coy
Tom c. Campbell, Austin, Tex. Wher
the bill was presented to the Governor
1t was turned down and the dogs sem
back to the shipper at Meridian. Wher
told that the Governor refused to re
celve the dogs or pay the 500 the boy
got busy, had talk with his friends
and decided to act.
I'll just make him pay me-" and
without further delay he brought sui
in Justices court against Gov. Camp
bell for 500, the agreed price of the
pair Of hound puppies.

Kinds Of SOY Beans.

One reason why ,soy beans have not
become more prominent in American
agriculture has been the imposibllity
Of securing seed Of a particular variety.
Ins>the few localities in the United
States where farmers have learned
how to utilize them to best advantage
they have proved to be crop Of high
value. They are especially valuable
for mixing with corn for sllage, for the
production Of hay, and for use as pas
ture, especially for pigs.
An expert of the Department OF Agri-
culture has made study Of the
soy beans for several years and has
identified no less than twenty-five
varieties. These have been classified
and described in bulletin Just Issued,
and the department hopes that with
this information farmers will hereaf-
ter be able to obtain from seedsmen the
particular varieties which they wish to
plant

OF all the Interesting uses to which
incubators have been. put that of hatch

striking, says Popular Mechanics. An
Englishman at Hot Springs, Ark, is

buy the live reptiles for exhibition.

Tile Drainage.

/ In some reclamation work in Mari
nette, Wis, marsh land, noted by the
Department of Agriculture, 1t was
found that phosphorlc acid is the ele-
ment most needed in such work, and
that potash is also beneficial. In tile
draining, the red clay lands near supe-
rior, the best stand and the best yield
of corn was obtained where the tile
lines had been placed forty feet apart.
Further distances between the lines
gave poorer results. In the Marinette
