SUCCESSFUL BILL PAssERs
Holder Of Record in tho House Is a
Southern Democrat

"WhO is the most successful bill pas
ser in congress9' was query pro-
pounded to Speaker Cannon the other
day by an inquis;tive Representative
AS a rule Mr.. Cannon can answer ques.
tions of this kind without reference
to reports and records, but he admitted
he was cup stump
eff | had two guesses, he said,
81 should guess Babcock or Sulloway. :"
Mr.. Babcock, of Wisconsin, was for
many years chairman of the committee
on the District of Columbia. Mr.. Sui
loway of New Hampshire, is the chair
man of the committee on Invalid Pen
sions, BY reason of holding these chair.
manships Mr.. Babcock and Mr.. Sullo-
way had many calls on their time from
persons outside their respective districts
and it was natural that the Speaker
should have selected them as the mem
bers who would be shown by the records
as charged with the passage of many
bills.
Mr.. Cannon did not make good
guess, for it appears that Representa-.
tive Wyatt Aiken of Abbeville, 5. c.,
led all his colleagues in bill passing
last winter. Mr.. Aiken is democrat,
and, naturally, is "agin the admins
tration." Thirty bills introduced by
him passed both branches of the repub
liean Congress last winter and were
signed by republican president. Mr.
Aiken never held political office until
his election to Congress four years ago.
He has not been active in the con-
grcssional debates and probably not one
of his colleagues is aware of his sue
cess in securing the enactment of bills
in which he is interested. None of
the thirty Aiken bills is measure of
large public concern, most of them be-
ing private bills, or bills of special in
terest to the third district of South
Carolina. Nine of them provide for
the building of bridges over South
navigable streams.
Representative Don c. Edwards of
Kentucky was close second to Mr..
Aiken. Twenty-Five measures intro
duced by Mr.. Edwards found their way
last winter to the statutes of the United
States. Mr.. Edwards is a republican.

Naturally Secretary Straus closes his
report. above cited. to the President with
the following self-evident proposition, to
wit:
1T is evident that the time is at hand
when the negotiations, so long pending.
for an International arrangement for the
settlement of the fur-seal question should
be brought to a conclusion"
Certainly they should. But why are
they held up? Who is to blame? The
Canadian secretary OF state. Rt. Hon.
Mr.. Scott in an open session of the Do
minion senate February 81, 1908, said:
These sealers are now acting like a
band Of pirates Canada is quite
United States with a view to the adop-
ton Of mutually protective regulations.
She il ready to take 1t up when
ever there Is a proposition to do so from
the United States. There has been
no such proposition up to the present
/" My remarks are inspired by the
existing condition OF the sealeres. which
does not reflect fayorably on the intell
gence Of the nations Interested
Few people stop to think of this fact
that in it's present condition of complete
ruin the fur-seal herd of Alaska repre-
sents loss to US of more than fifty mil
lions of dollars in public property since
1890. 1t is also a loss made still worse
| since it has been attended with the most
shameful and cruel license to butcher
into that destruction this valuable and
harmless wild animal life.
The Secretary says truly that the mum.

Alcohol as Cause of Crime.
From McClure's Magazine
Moo o,lx

From McClures Magazine
Nearly so per cent of the crimes in this
country are traceable to alcohol
The famous investigation of the Massa-
chusetts bureau Of labor statistics re-
vealed the fact that 81 per cent of all
the criminals under conviction i'm the
correctional institutions of that state
owed ''the condition which induced the
crime" to intemIterate habits The in
vestigation included the inmates of such
minor correctional institutions a jaiIs and
warehouses;, very large proportion of
whom were arrested for being drunk and
disOrderly." but if these were exc uded.
and attention confined to charges other
than drunkenness. alcohol could still be
made responsible for Joss per cent or
more than half of all crimes An almost
identical result was reached quite indie
pendently by the investigators of the
committee .of fifty who very carefully
scrutinized the records of .402 convicts
in seventeen prisons and reformatories
scattered through twelve states The
investigation did not include ordinary
jails. and therefore took no account of
persons convicted for mere niisdemean-
ors drunkenness or violation of the liouor
laws. The average. however, Was 81,

mittee puts forward with much confidence

breeding females which were alive when
this estimate of fewer than 10000 was
made by the agents Of the department
July 81, last: II is more likely that full
10000 of that pitiful remnant were taken
by those hunters up to November ] last.
Therefore it is an easy matter for one
to figure out what faint margin Of fur
seal life is left on those islands to with
stand the attack again upon 1t next sea-
son which this horde of greedy hunters
intend to make fully realizing as they do
so that 1t is their last chance to KILL since
when they finish nothing will be left to
kill
What arouses me most in this connec-
tion is the fact that unless this fur-seal
termination on those islands of it's birth,
1t cannot be preserved elsewhere. You
cannot take fur seals as you can sea lions
and hair seals. into captivity of any kind
and keep them alive. You cannot put
them in geological tanks and prevent
them from dying of self-imposed starva-
ton. The attempt to do SO has been
made over and over again, only to result
in complete failure.
The fur seal born and bred in Boring
sea is the widest of all wild animals,
and unless we prevent its destruction on
the Pribilof Islands. We cannot even
preserve the species itself elsewhere That
is the reason why it Is fairly wicked on
our part If we do not now step in and
stop our Gown butchers of that life;
II we do. then we have the official as
they will submerge their butchers: other
wise. they will not. They are right; there
is no difference i'm the rank and smell Of
those human wolves.
What delays the fur-seal settlement?

tory
Anacostia appears on the oldest map of
Virginia, which Capt. John Smith pub
lished in 1912; it is there called "Nacotch-
tanck.' Capt. Smith in his General His
torie of Virginia tells US that he with his
twelve companions in their explorations
around the Chesapeake bay and its trib,N
tary rivers was we'll received by the
Nacotchtank. The Nacotchtank were the
most northerly of those A'gonquian Indian
tribes which were surrounded by the Iro-
quOis and which are known as the Pow
hatan Indians.
At Capt. Smiths time the Nacotchtanks
were on bad terms with the Patawomekes
on the present Potomac creek. Stafford
county, Va. About the year 1921 the PIN
mace Tiger with twenty-siX men was sent
from jamestown to trade corn with the
Indians near the head of navigation on
the Potomac. They were attacked by the
Nacotchtanks and all were either killed
or taken prisoners and among the latter
was young man-Henry Fleet. Remain
ing in captivity for about five years Fleet
learned the language spoken by all the
Powhatan Indians and which he used to
great advantage after being ransomed
while trading for fur skins; he made two
journeys during year up the Potomac to
the Nacotchtanks.
One of these Journeys, made in 1852, he
