Leaders in Congress Come from Cities

states, else the representation of that
region among the members from the
cities would be still further materially
reduced.
1t is noteworthy that of the city
membership sent to congress 16S are
lawyers and only 6S belong to other
professions and avocations.
Two of the best all-around legisla-
tors in cOngress-Theodore E. Burton
of Cleveland and John W. Weeks of
Newton, Mass.-come from the cities.
They are equally posted on currency,
the tariff, the navy, agriculture and
rivers and harbors. Representative
Mann of Chicago is a recognized au-
thority on the pure food and drugs act.
F. P. Gillet of Massachusetts is the
best-informed man on the civil serv-
ice; Charles E. Townsend of Michigan
on the interstate commerce laws, it
being generally known that he practi-
cally drew the Hepburn railroad-rate
act; James A. Tawney of Minnesota is
the authority on appropriations, and
Serene E. Payne of New York on the
raising of revenues to pay them; John
Dalzell of Pennsylvania is the apostle
of protection; w. S. Bennett of New
York the strong man on the immigra-
ton laws, and Charles N. Fowler OF
New Jersey on currency.

the machines for the remainder of the
current fiscal year, which will end
on June 80. In the new fiscal year,

According to statements made at
the Capitol Mr.. Taft intends to use the

Civil Service Commission Wants Home

department of the government wholly
peripatetic and without permanent
quarterings is subject to suspicion and
to .lighting considerations. We want
ed to be helped out of that situation.
1t is nearly twenty-six years since
the commission was organized. The
early meetings in 1888 were held in the
apartment of Dorman B. Eaton in the
celebrated but dilapidated Wormley's
hotel. Later the commission rented
two rooms in a residence in Fourteenth
street From there it moved to the
seed building of the department of ag-
riculture. In 1885 it moved to a wing
of the city hall building. In 1898 it
moved to the Concordia building, and
in 1900 it moved to its present wholly
inadequate building.
The commission wants quarters
that are permanent, that will be a
creditable monument to the work 1t
has done and an honor to the public
service that it is performing. An ap-
preparation of 100000 will provide a
proper site and building and this ap-
preparation is recommended. In trans
hitting to congress the commission's
letter and the draft of a bill for the ap-
preparation, President Roosevelt says
he approves the commissions recon-
incubation.
The force of the civil service COM
mission consists of 1914 employees, of
whom 157 are constantly employed in
Washington. These employees super

local boards, composed of 1890 mem

"lC2EWSJE(O

GIINCLE JOE" CANNON, plain
u farmer and unfrilled speaker of
the house, will soon blossom out and
put on more airs that humming bird
with two sets of wings. He is going
to have a carriage with two prancing
horses and a colored coachman.
He will dash along Pennsylvania
avenue like a real plutocrat and throw
dust in the eyes of the common toiler
plodding along on his weary way. For
all these years Uncle Joe" has occu-
pied the rear seat of a trailer and
smoked his Porto Rican cigar in peace
and content.
Then some foe of rural simplicity
slipped over to the senate and wills
pered that Speaker Cannon should
have a carriage. To make consistency
jewel it was suggested that the gov
eminent ought TO keep a vehicle for
the vice-president.
The bait was swallowed in connec-
ton with the line and pole and the
legislative executive and judic al ap-
preparation bill provides that the
vice-president and speaker shall each
have a carriage.
1t was figured that two prancing
horses for each, with an appropriate
| conveyance having four wheels and a
vanished body, would cost the gov
eminent $1,000, and that lump sum
was allowed for the innovation.

Her Indoor Vegetable Garden.

The West Philadelphia woman who

summer by virtue of her vegetable gar
den in her small back yard, which kept
her table well supplied for a month,

flower pots of earth inside her house.
Already she has raised several stalks
of asparagus from roots, and her fam
