Don't find fault with the weather.
1t was a beautiful autumn-a prosper
Gus year-and the rain, the sleet and
the chilly winds We are experiencing
now are but the natural offerings of a
typical November. The change may
have interferred with your plans; it
may have caused you to change your
program, and buy flannels sooner
than you expected, but for all that
it is a proper weather program, and
if an i'll wind to you, remember it
blows its good over countless thous-
ands. Be thankful that you are alive
and can enjoy pancakes and syrup.

New York. March a14.-(Special. )- With her traction lords openly at odds and vieing for public favor. Gotham has never stood the chance that she does today of having her people bound together by an adequate transit sys- tenn.
 To gird this island with broad belt lines and to crisscross It's length and breadth with huge traction tubes, hum dreds of millions of dollars are being waved by the rival magnates before the bewildered eyes of the weary strap hangers of this town. Where years have elapse with not a dollar offered to relieve Manhattan's pent-up press of travel. prospective subway diggers now eagerly hawk their plans and backing, like theatre ticket spectators. No one remembers another such re- markable case of competition between the local traffic kings here in all his tory, and everyone believes that 1t Is too good to last. Rivalry has never been found to pay the powers in the transit situation half so we'll as the combination that chokes and clogs all progress.

NSURGENT
 REPUBLICANS Forces Weakened During
 Closing Session. / THE FOREST RESERVE BILL Speaker Cannon Gained Votes by
 His Action.
HE FOREST RESERVE BILL
rAe' Test of the Insurgents Real Strength Will Come On Mon aay When the House
 . Is Organised.
BY ALFRED :. sTOFER.

Washington. March 14-tSpecial.)-- 1t is generally conceded here by those who have been~watching the situation closely that Speaker Cannon weakened, by eight or ten votes at least. the forces of the fnsurgent Republicans in the House when he gave his consent during the last few days of the recent session to consideration of the Appa- Sachian forest reserve bill.
 That measure, 1t will be recalled, was passed in the House by a narrow mar gin of votes. and would not have got ten through at all If couple of South- ern members before the completion of the roll call had not changed their votes before the result was announced.
 The>insurgeut movement has been encouraged up in the New England States. and the people of that section are greatly interested in this forest reserve question. Uncle Joe." by not using his influence to prevent consid- nration. is believed to have won over . number of his party associates who had previously been full of the mo- tion of breaking down the power of tho Speaker. Although the Appalachian bill did not become law, the test showed that 1t will have rather plain sailing next winter. The mistake its friends made was in not taking the bill that was passed earlier In the session by the Senate. Had that course been pursued the victory would haw' been won by them. but they eniargeo the scope of the measure so much in the House that substitute for the Senate bill was reported and, passed. its packers thinking evidently that 1t would be an easy matter to get 1t through the upper branch. Tn this way they were sadly mistaken. as during that week the belated Appropriation bills and the filibuster against the penal code bill interfered with the plans, to say nothing of the attitude

BY ALFRED. J. STOPPER

WashihgtonS March l4.-(Special.)-- The dinner to be given at the New Willard here tomorrow night in honoI of Mir. John M Parker, of New Or. leans. President of the Southern Com. msrcial Congress. promises to be ( notable affair.
 Over 200 persons will be seated ., the tables. and among them will bs many of the most prominent and dis. ttnguished mon in public life The commercial and banking interests vii be well represented. and there will also be quite a sprinkling of newspaper correspondents.
 MT. Parker. of course. will be ex. pected to make an address. but If he follows his usual custom. his remarks will be brief. When he accepted the presidency, of the Congress. he spoke exactly forty-two words. Among oth- CT things he said then: We've go, lots to do. Let's get at It." This terse expression Is going te be on the front of the handsome menu provided for the dinner. On the front page ot the menu will bS arranged the coat oi arms of each of the sixteen States iden. tified with the Southern, Commercial Congress.
 The personal card to mark the seat of, each one atx the table. will be uhiQNu' OuQcE tHc u6ulo WILL De U snappy sentence or two which will be both pleasant and characteristic, and every one will find on picking up his card that something unexpected has been placed thereon about himself.
 Principal Speakers.
 The principal speakers will be well known and entertaining Senators and Representatives. among them being Senator Johnston of Alabama, Repre- sentative Henry of Texas. Mir. W. w Finley, President of the Southern Rail- way, and who has been active in get ting up this testimonial to the guest of the evening. is down for one of the talks. MT. Clifford Pinchot will also be heard from. and there are to be a number of hnpromptu remarks, the speakers to be called on as things warm up at the banquet.
 The toastmaster selected for the oc- casion is MT. Thomas G. Boggs. Sec- rctary of the Merchants and Manufac- turers Association of Baltimore. As a toastmaster MT. Boggs has an enviable reputation. In earlier life he lived both at Memphis and at Selma, and was for many years engaged in news paper work.
 c. Grosvenor Dave. the Managing Director of the Commercial Congress, 1t goes without saying, has been very busy in helping arrange the details in connection with the dinner to Mir. Parker. In addition to his well known ability in business affairs-and he certainly seems to be up to his ears in work for the cause in which he is en- listed-Mr. Dave has a knack also for springing novelties when 1t comes to designing catchy menus

Child Citizenship.

News of the summary removal of the boy president of the George Junior Re- public up at Freeville. who was charg- ed with abuse of his official l-powers. has struck with envy the boss-ridden citizens of this city today. What these boy and girl "citizens" did on their own initiative. instantly and without question. Is thing which every New Yorker Is confessing he does not rise to accomplish here once in ten years. The untrustworthy official. New York CTS have always with them: yet their citizenship has apparently never at- tained the high pitch which showed in the prompt busting of this erring boy by children, every one of whom is being started straight after a crooked beginning in life. The successful re- claiming of hundreds of youngsters at this child community has long been known and appreciated by the people of this city, where every man is today forced to take ofr his hat to the citi- zenship which 1t teaches.

A DANGEROUS COUGH
Wife of a Newark. Ohio. Man Had Symptoms of Consumption. Was Badly Run Down and Reduced in Flesh.
RESTORED TO HEALTH BY vIEoL

About two years ago my wife wa, in very poor health. She had no ap- petite, was much reduced In flesh, and for three months had a very bad cough with all the symptoms of consumption Vinol was recommended and she began taking 1t: before the first bottle was used her appetite was better. and she was improving In health; by the time she had taken three bottles the cough was gone. She is stu taking Vinol and cannot say too much in It's praise. D N L. Stebleton. Newark. Ohio.
 The reason that Vinol is so success ful in such cases Is because 1t is the only preparation that contains tonic iron together with all of the healing. body building clements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods flyers, but no oil.
 Without hesitation we proclaim our faith in Vtnol for chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis and as a body builder and strength creator for old people.
 Anyway, if you try it and 1t does no good we will refund your money on demand. E. c. Fowler, Druggist. Mont gomerys

As hundreds of thousands of true Hibernians are today preparing to eel ebrate St. Patrick's Day with fervor that will make the island hum, New Workers are shaking themselves out of the tolls of a long, damp and bitter winter in preparation for the bright days of spring. Snow seldom has dared strew this island after the great Irish Saints day and the vivid green of na- ture has always followed forth after the emerald banners of the A. O. H. Sunlight, showers and budding branch es will be a welcome setting for the march of the faithful here this year. for the metropolis has known no more chill and cheerless winter season in a generation.

CeIebrated Citixeus.

Now that Roosevelt is back chop ping wood at Oyster Bay and Platt chopping coupons in his old sanctum at the express company's ofice. pri- vate life in this town is claiming as It's own once more two of It's most con- spicuous figures. The habits of public places have apparently not yet been laid aside entirely by these two noto- rious New Workers this week. for Platt has summoned the scribes to his old Sunday School" rostrum and Roose- welt has emitted short and snappy in- terviews to the crowd of correspond- ents that hover about his wood pile. Y. For the immediate future, however. the prospects seem to preclude much pub lie haranguing by either. The ex- President will confine himself to his gun and penning for pay. while the ex-Senator has mapped out a bushes activity in which he must lose himself to the public eye.
