Washington, D. c., Dec, T.
The ever interesting spectacle of
the convening of congress today
brought to the capital the usual
throngs.
The rule in both houses pro-
hibiting the placing Of floral
pieces on the desks was rigidly
enforced. Contributions Of this
kind were many and handsome,
but the donors were obliged to
be content with having them
placed in private lobbies.
Immediately after the senate
was called to order chaplain Hale
had opened the session with pray
er, senator Dillingham;, of Ver-
mont, presented the credentials
of his colleague, senator elect
Carroll S. Page, who was at once
sworn in.
The houses were called to order
at noon. Vice presidents elect
Sherman was accorded an ova-
tion by his Republican colleagues
when he entered the chamber
After the usual committees
were appointed by the senate to
visit the president and house of
representatives and notify them
of the meeting Of that body, and
la resolution Of regret upon the
death of senator Allison had been
adopted, the senate, at12:15, ad-
journed to meet at noon tomor-
row.
Patterned after the pure food
law, a bill was introduced in the
house today by representative
Hull, of Iowa, making it a mis-
demeanor punishable by g fine
and Imprisonment to manufac
ture for sale or transportation
initiated articles Of commerce un-
less they are branded so as to
show their exact ingredients.
The measure is broad and would
apply to clothing and practically
all articles in domestic use.
The presidential message will
be sent in to congress tomorrow.
Delegate W. Fl. Andrews, of
New Mexico, introduced his sepa-
rate statehood bill among the
first in the hopper today.
The Andrews bill is styled

ROOSEVELT RECOMMENDS
IMMEDEHTE STATEHOOD
Congress Opened on Monday, the Houses Hearing the Pres'
dents Message on Tuesday

peats what he has said in previous
messages, recommending partic.
ularly that railroad, telegraph
and telephone companies engaged
in inter state business be pus un-
der the jurisdiction of the inter.
state commerce commission.
, On labor he says the producer
should have greater share in the
wealth produced and that a pro-
per employers liability law should
be pussed.
Salaries of judges, he says,
should be increased aud the su-
preme court judges salaries should
all be doubled. Injunction abuses
should be corrected.
Control over great corporations
doing an interstate business
should be vested solely in the ad-
ministration of the department of
the federal government.
The conservation of national
resources, especially forests, is
insistently urged. This would aid
in the protection of inland water
ways, which should be carefully
protracted and improved.
He suggests also an improve
ment in the secret service.
He makes renewed recommen-
dation for postal savings banks
and saysit would encourage tariff
and bring money out Of hiding.
He also again recommends the
extension Of the parcel post, es-
pecially on rural routes.
The share Of the national gov
ernment in the board work of
education has not received the
attention and care it de erves and
he ~3c 2lloo IDS that this be re-
medied by adequate appropria-
tions.
He urges that the census en-
ployes be placed under the civil
Service and commends the report
of the director of census.
He touches on the recent bu-
bonic plague at San Francisco
and says it is highly advisable
that intelligent action on the
part of the nation be taken on
this question Of preserving the
public health.
On foreign affairs he says:
THE nations S foreign policy is
based on the theory that right
must be done between nations
precisely as between individuals
and in our actions for the last
ten years we have in this matter
proven our faith by our deeds. "
Work on the Panama canal is

GOOD CAUSE FOR WRATH.
AT Collector and Irritated Waiter
Had the Same Feelings.

A Chicago art dealer was talking
about the wrath of William T. Evans,
the New York collector upon whom
so many bogus paintings have been
imposed.
He's awfully angry" said the art
dealer, depressing a smile. Some Of
his costliest pictures, you know, have
turned out fakes. His blood boils
when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
HE told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit
tie Insignificant dealer that had cheat
ed him. He said it was like the rage
of a waiter that he had noted n
afternoon at luncheon.
AT luncheon, Mr.. Evans said, he
called his walters attention to a dead
fly in some dish or other.
"The waiter, as he took the dish
away, muttered with a m~alevolent
look at the limp insect:
"Td give a two-dollar bill If l knew
for certain that this was the fly that's
been buzzing about my nose all the
morning."

Il MISSOURI NEWS
Wolves Attack Two Boys.

Columbia-Willie Odds, 20 years
old, and Walter Bennett, Is years old,
were attacked by wolves on
the farm of Odds aunt, Mrs. Matte
Rice, who lives south of here. Mrs.
Rice had missed chickens and the
boys came over with muzzle-loading
shotguns, expecting to kill a mink.
Back of the orchard they found the
wolves in the grass. Olds, who was
in the lead, fired both barrels and
killed one, The others raised their
bristles and made for him, Odds
slammed up an apple tree and called
his companion, who was beating some
brush nearby. Young Bennett, also
armed with a muzzle-loader, cooked
both barrels and ran towards Odds,
but tripped and stumbled. His gun
was discharged and the noise fright
ened the wolves, who srampeced off
into the timber.

penalty of Extrauananne

The deficit Of $50, 200, 900 for the fis-
cal year just ended represents the pen
atty paid for wilful extravaganza. 1t
is only 100000 less than the total
shrinkage in government receipts dur
ing a year of acute financial panic and
general depression in trade. Primarily
it is due to al increase of $50, 900, 900
in expenditures in one year, without
which there would have been only q
negligible deficit. With appropriations
amounting to the immense aggregate
of $1,O0S, S04, 1874 for the year now be-
ginning, Mr.. Roosevelt promises to sig
nalize the end Of his second term in
the presidency by still deeper inroads
upon the surplus accumulated in days
of prosperity.

Revenue and Tariff.

The Philadelphia Record, discussing
the free trade congress which will be
held in London next month to promote
trade throughout the world, speaks
thus of different ways of levying
revcnue taxes with a view to promot-
ing trade:
although Great Britain is a free
trade country, the government rev
enues from customs amounted last
year to upward of $16O, 100000. This
large sum is derived from duties on
sugar, tobacco, spirits, malt liquors,
dried fruits and a few other articles.
Under this system of commercial
freedom, which favors no interest and
looks only to the revenues of the gov
eminent, trusts and %monopolies in
trade are quite out of the question.
"In contrast with the few and small
duties of the English system is the
omnivorous tariff of this country,
which does not yield a much greater
evenu to the government than the
tariff of Great Britain. A reason for
this is that the Dingley tariff was
framed to defeat revenue in some of
it's schedules. One consequence is the
creation of a swarm of trusts to prey
on the substance of the American peo-
pie. 1t is within a moderate estimate
that for every dollar that this in
iquitous system brings to the public
treasury for support of the govern
ment, it EFFORTS five dollars more from
consumers to fill the voracious maws
Of the industrial %monopolies, which are
it's offspring, to say nothing Of the
snugglers."

Studious Girl Is Killed.

Springfeld.-Miss Catherine Casey,
of Potosi, daughter Of Andrew Casey,
formerly marshal of the St. Louis
Court of Appeals, was run down by a
traction company work train and re-
ceived injuries of which she died a
few minutes later. She was crossing
the track on her way to the State
Normal School, when the work train
struck her, and was rolled forty-five
feet before the train could be stopped.
Her skull was fractured and her body
mangled. The accident was witnessed
by President w. T. Darlington, of the
Normal, and several students. They
say Miss Casey was walking along
with head down, evidently intent on
her studies.

so much the worse for them. He is

ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman

me untold misery for hours after
eating.

all alone.

The Panama canal viii be OF but lit
tie service to the United States ex-
ccpt for warships and the coasting
trade, if the American merchant
marine is to continue in the decrepit
state that Republican policies have
brought it to. When Democratic poll
cies prevailed the United States had
the finest merchant ships aloat and
our Baltimore clippers were seen on
every sea. But persistent tariff pro-
lection for Infant industries and es-
pecially for the shipbuilding trust has
driven our flag from the oceans by
making it Improbable for Americans
to build and own ships for foreign
trade. 1t costs 80 per cent, or more,
to build a ship in the United States
than it does in England, but the law
will not allow a prospective ship
owner to buy his ship where he can
buy it cheaper, so he cannot compete
with the cheaper built foreign ships.
The Republican policy is to over
come this unnatural state of affairs
by paying subsidies to American ships,
either as a direct s~hip-subsidy, or as
an extra subsidy for carrying the mails
to foreign ports.
Under such policies our taxpayers
are doubly taxed, they pay the tariff
lax on all they buy, either to the gov
eminent on imported goods, or to
the trusts and manufacturers who can
demand high prices for their products
because they are protected by the tar
it from competition from abroad.
Then the tax payer would also have to
pay the ship subsidy as well as the
freight, so that both these expenses
would make the freight rate by an
American ship much higher than the
rate charged by foreign ships.
How a the American Merchant
Marine prosper under such conditions?
Instead of paying subsidies why not
try free trade in ships so that any
one can buy a ship and sail it under
the American flag?
The United States will never have a
profitable merchant marine until the
tariff is revised so that it would not
weigh heavily on that industry. With
free ships and tariff for revenue only,
American pluck and ingenuity would
successfully compete on the sea with
all nations.

Socialism and Democracy Incompatible.
Thn 4u..n Ea...IDI.-- u n-L.-

~''N ~ oNJ lSSIIIP1kiNlO
The true foundation of Democratic
government consists in the equal
rights of every man in his person and
property, and in their management.
Democrats hold that these rights Of
personal liberty and private property
are inalienable natural rights; that
men could not lose or surrender them
if they would. The constitution of the
United States is the best expression
of the Democratic theory of a repre-
sentative government of the people, con
Quoted by their agents for their bene-
fit, which has ever been written, and
Democrats believe that by the preser-
walton Of the spirit and letter of the
constitution alone will the people of
this country ever be able to secure the
real blessings of liberty to themselves
and their posterity.
Socialists, on the contrary, deny the
right of private property, repudiate the
doctrine of inalienable natural rights,
denounce the constitution and appeal
to some mythical higher law" Which,
if it were practicable, would destroy
all that is human, safe and sane in a
system of government. This so-called
higher law of Socialism is some
times referred to as the brotherhood
of man; sometimes as the divine law,
the golden rule, the evangelical coun-
sells, and the like. But whenever the
Socialists in this country have been
able to enforce any higher law than
the constitution, that law has taken
the shape, either of a protective tariff
for breeding and sheltering trusts, or
of a system Of cooperative societies,
like the Mormons, the Dowieites and
others, based on some sort of supersti-
ton OF craze, whose officers plumber
the subordinate members as %ruthlessly
as the barons of old %plundered their
neighbors and dependents. Experience,
ancient and modern, and medieval,
proves that Socialism under whatever
guise it appears, religious, political or
economical, breeds and feeds on graft
until it transforms itself into feudal-
ism, and then into imperialism. Its
first appearance is that of a fad, or
amusement, or religious conception.
Its advocates enter a country as mis-
sionaries protesting to do no mis-
chief; and, indeed, they do none-ex,
cept that, gradually gaining a foot
hold, they form a special interest or
society, and by degrees form compacts
and combinations and conspiracies
with other special interests; and from
these they go forward in greater force
to attack the laws and constitution of
the nation, until they end by over
throwing everything, both in public
and in private. Such is the nature and
history of Socialism. 1t has no place
in American civilization; and, as an
intruder, it has done nothing more
except to undermine our system by
means Of protective tariffs, and spe.
cial laws for the few and seditious vol
untary societies.
