PENSION AGENCIES REMAIN.

PENSION AGENClES KEN AIN.
The senate committee on pensions
Monday in considering the pension
appropriation bill, amended the house
bill by eliminating the provision abol-
fishing pension agencies throughout
the country and consolidating the work
in a central agency at Washington.
4 Consequently, in the future as in the
past the veterans IN this state will be
paid through the agency at Milwaukee.
The committee may have acted tor
the best end no doubt it's action will
e endorsed by the veterans generally,
yet the writer cannot help thinking
that if the agencies and soldiers
homes were abolished and the millions
of dollars it costs TO maintain them
distributed among the veterans. it
would not make much difference where
they were paid and the inmates Of the
soldiers homes could live with their
relatives and enjoy what little life
is left to them.

KNEW 1T WAS A FARCE,

John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader in the House of Representa-
tives, is receiving censure for opposing
the Cannon resolution providing for
an investigation of the paper trust,
which resolution was adopted and d
committee appointed by the speaker
to make the investigation. Mr..
Williams knew it was farce offered
fur the purpose of preventing the
placing of print paper and pulp on the
free list and it Is surprising that re-
publicans were SO stupid as to vote fol
the resolution to practically defeat
what the publishers all over the
country are demanding.

to speak Of an upper or lower class.
But if by the upper class is meant a
government If able. corrupt rich men
as opposed to the rule of the common
people, then we would say. give US
the latter always and by all mea IS.
The cummun people, the farmers,
mechanics and tradesmen never invade
legislative halls and corrupt, the
sworn and chosen servants of the
people. All they want Is an honest
and efficient government. But the
upper class rich DC invade, do corrupt,
do debauch, do consplre against the
integrity OF the republic. The poss-
ession of money with them is justifica
ton sufficient for all kinds of debauch
ment.
Give US the original idea of Jeffer-
son, Wash ngton, Franklin and Lin
coin, government of the people, by
the peopl. and for the people. Jeffer-
son County Union.
Did the writer Of the above forget
the fact that we now have "govern-
ment of the people, by the people and
for the peopie?" A stream never
rises higher tran it's source. II the
people are dissatisfied with present
conditions they can change them,
they alone are responsible. Too
much partisanship and too little patriot
ism has been the curse of the country
let others do our tlinkin instead of
thinking for ourselves, Following
selfish, dishonest leaders because they
belonged to our party.

To the Naked Eye They Look Like
Specks of Dust.

The smallest screws In the world are
those made in watch factories. They
are cut from steel wire by a machine,
looks as if the operator was simply
cutting up the wire for his own d.
version. One thing is certain-no
screws can be seen, and yet a screw
is made by every third operation.
The fourth jewel wheel screw Is
next to invisible, to the naked eye re-
sembling a speck of dust. With
glass, however, 1t can be made out
quite distinctly. 1t has 26O threads to
an inch. These little screws are four
one-thousandth of an inch in diam
eter, and the heads are double In size.
1t has been estimated that an ordinary
thimble would hold 100000 Of them.
About 100000 of them are manu-
featured in the course Of a month,
but no attempt is ever made to count
them. In determining the number 100
of them are placed on q very delicate
balance and the number of the whole
quantity calculated from the weight
OF these. All the small parts Of the
watch are counted in this way, prob
ably 80 out Of the 120.
When they have been cut the screws
are hardened and put into frames,
about 100 to the frame, heads up. This
Is done very rapidly, but entirely by
the sense of touch instead Of by sight,
SO that blind man with little ex-
perience could perform the task.
The next step in the process is to
polish the heads in an automatic ma
chine, 10000 at time. The plate ON
which this Is done is covered with oil
and grinding compound, and on this
the machine moves them very rapidly
by a reversing motion until they are
In perfect ondition.-Chicago Record

The Drama of Iondon's Foe.

There is a whole world of drama

liant, far older than Cog or Magog,
which used to visit the watches of the
night when the metropolis barely lifted
itself out Of the surrounding marshes,

committed under its sheltering cloak,
men and women have been waylaid.

A LOWER RULING GLASS.

In his life of Thomas Jefferson,
John T. Morse, Jr., speaks of the
marked change which came over the
country when the the Federalist party
was defeated and Democracy, under
the lead of Jefferson, took possession.
The following observation sounds
as though it might have been uttered
in the spirit of political prophecy:
Federalism might have endsd in
the creation, not quite. OF an actual
oligarchy, as has been too extravaganza
ly said, but "f an upper and ruling

Curved Spokes.

There is no doubt that an iron wheel
with curved spokes is much more at
tractive to the eye than the ordinary
variety, but it is not on account Of its
appearance that 1t is constructed in
this manner. Wheels that are cast In
variabl contract a little in the process
Of cooling, and those made with
straight spokes are always liable to
crack. The curved variety, by allow,

THE AMERICAN
NAVY DEFENDED
ADMIRAL CONVERSE COMPLETES
A REPORT ON THE CHARGES OF
MUCK RAKERS.

WASHINGTON, february S.-Ad-
miral Converse today submitted to
Secretary Metcalf a report on the re-
suits of his investigation into the re-
Gently published criticisms of the de-
sgns of American naval vessels.
Admiral Converse answers in great
detail every charge. 1t is not prob
able that the report will be made pub
lie until the President has had an OPP
portunity to read it, if then. 1t may
be stated, however, hat the report I'M
dertakes to demonstrate as clearly as
figures, comparisons of foreign navies
and scale drawings can establish the
fact that the fighting ships of the
American Navy were at the date OF
their design the best ships in the
world of their class and that they are
today comparable on even terms with
the ships of any other navy.
1t is declared in the report that
everything that human forethought on
the part of intelligent and highly
trained naval officers could do to in
sure this result is shown to have been
done by the veteran naval officers who
perfected the designs for the vessels
of the new navy. Few if any of the
objections which have been found by
later day critics were unknown to the
designers of the ships, who considered
them while the plans were being pre-
pared which, it is said, represents
the necessary compromise between
extreme views of different schools OF
construction.
