A RECKLESS
CONGRESS

Washington, D. c., March 2.-As the
Sfxtieth Congress nears its close and
the Roosevelt administration is sing
ing it's swan song, it finds the Repub-
lican party divided, ripped up the back
torn by factions N in bad shape
generally. About the only unanimity
existing within the ranks of the G. o.
P. is the feeling of jubilation yer the
exit of one Theodore Roosevelt fro N
trance mi private life.
Never before in the history of this
Government has there been such ex-
IRENE satisfaction expressed on all
sides by h leaders of both parties as
there is at the subsistence of the big
stick Ananias Club. The Republicans
however, are more delighted, verbally
and openly so, at the R~oosevelt1an
eclipse than are the Democrats AMI
they ave a right to be. The Demo
Gratis have really taken a Sneaking de-
light, in the past seven years, in lis
tening to the swish of the big stick
as it descended on the heads of The
Republican leaders, knocking them to
their knees, n then watching them
crawl to the feet of their master and
do his bidding. 1t has been only since
the last session of the present Con-
gresS convened last December that
the Republicans in both House and
Senate have had the nerve to shoot
back at the man behind the teeth IN
the White House, and this has been
only because the sands of his admin
~istration were running fast and nearly
gone. 1t has given them the courage
of the bully after the man who had
knocked him Down had disappeared
and there was no chance of his re-
turning. Like a lot of school boys on
the village green, they are shouting
and making merry now that school is
out and the teacher who whips them
has gone home. But aside from the
c~owardice displayed by the Republi-
can leaders in the Congress anent
their dealings with the White House
master, there never was a President
who has been so thoroughly execrated
by his own party as Roosevelt has
been, but always, hitherto, behind clos
ed doors. Now, however, they are com
ing out into the open and giving vent
to their feelings of unfeigned delight
at the approaching political demise Of
Theodore l. They even go so far,
Then they contemplate his visit to the
African jungles to hunt the savage
their committee rooms the decreasing
days of his administration and under
meath them the words: "a peevish
lion is the noblest work OF God"
While all the time the Republicans
have been saying things about Mr.. T.
'Roosevelt that have been unfit for pub

line has been established to Europe,
and other lines, 1000 miles or less in
length, to the West Indies, Mexico,
and Venezuela, but after seventeen
years the present rates given under
the law of 1891 have absolutely failed
to create a contract mail service to
Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru or he
Orient. A line was started in 1901
across the Pacific to Australia, but it
lost heavily from the start and two
years was abandoned.
This present bill leaves existing
contract lines exactly as they are,
without adding one dollar to their
compensation, and aims only to ere

there are one on routes where ex-
perience a proved he present rat
of 50 a mile outward to 16-knot and

inadequate. The bill authorizes the
Postmaster-Genera to pay not exceed
ing 81 a mile to 16-knot steamers and
50 a mile to 14-knot steamers on these
long runs-or so much of it as may be
necessary to secure the requisite SER
vice. Four dollars a miles is the rate
paid to fast 20-knot mail passenger
ships to Europe.
Not one American steamship is now
running on either the Atlantic OF the
Pacific to South America, not one to
Pacific to the Orient. Our chief South

had the temerfty to get up on the
of the House and tell the truth
about him, viz: Congressman Willett,
New York, had his remarks expung
from the record by a partisan vote
in the House. That shows the syco-
.phancy and boot-licking qualities of
the Republican membership of that
Body. Despising him as they do, they
had not the courage to let h truth
about him stand in the Record. This
administration will go down as the
most remarkable in more ways of any
administration in the history of b
country. Coming in as it did with q
tidal wave of approval, i. goes out
with the maledictions and excavations
of every statesman in the country
without regard to party affiliations.
Some of the things it has done and
has not done will be b fruitful u b

The -recklessness with which this
Sixtieth Congress has spent the peo-

cts, has been one of the subjects SER
fously discussed here for the past few
weeks, and the House of Representa-
tives is responsible for this derelic-
ton of duty.
There was a bill passed by the
Senate on March 20, 1908, and which
has been held UP by the House ever
since, that would have done and will

that has been introduced in Congress
in years. That was a bill authorizing
the Observation-Disclosures to pay for oc-

March third, 1891, in vessels of the
second class on routes to South Am

China and to Australia. This is an

MULES RAN AWAY AND
MAN iS SERIOUSLY HURT.

A team of mules hitched to a wag-
on, ran away near 202 East Summit
street, South Hill at noon today and
Mr.. Club, father of Mrs. Harry Morris
was seriously hurt. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris were moving to the Woodlawn
farm, southeast of town. The men
were loading the household goods on
the wagon when the top of the stove
fell off and frightened the mules. They
started to run n pulled n side of
h wagon onto the cement sidewalk
in such a way as to dump both men
off. Mr.. Morris fell between the
mules and was not injured. Mr.. Club
fell on his head on the sidewalk, cut
ting a deep cash and giving him a Sc
we're conclusion. He also injured his
hip in some unknown way. While he
is conscious and protests that he as
uninjured, his relatives will be uneasy
for a few days or until he shows marx
ed signs of recovery. /.

1T has been suggested by honest,
rugged Senator Nelson, of Minnesota,
that it is improper for Senators to vote for
duties upon articles which they manufac-
ture or in which they deal. This is a
winged shaft that would puncture any or
binary epidermis, but will probably not
pierce the hide of the modern statesman.
Senator Nelson is right, however.
How can Senator Scott vote properly on
the glass schedule? Does any one be-
lieve that any sense of the rights of the
consumer would induce him to vote for a
reduction that would decrease the enor-
nous profits that he gets from his glass
business ? II is this immoral tariff that
has permitted him to pile up his great for
tune that enables him to buy and retain
his seat in the Senate. Ii is foolish to ex-
pect him to get away from his own per-
sonal interests. That's what he is there
for.
The same thing is true of Senator FL
kins, whose seat in the Senate is an asset
in his coal and lumber business; of Sena-
tor Aldrich, father in-law Of the Standard
Oil Company Senator Smoot, WOODEN
manufacturer; Senator Guggenheimer, OF
the Copper Trust; and so on through the
list.

IN an address in the Senate few days
ago, Senator Money, of Mississippi, took
the ground that tariff that imposed du-
ties so high as to prohibit competition is
immoral. He declared that Congress has
no right, either legal or moral, to levy
taxes for any other purpose than to raise
revenue.
This bears out the Registers contention
that the trusts, which are the children OF
the tariff, are responsible for the breaking
of every commandment in the decalogue,
save one.
Senator Money further argued that a
tariff of prohibitive or protective duties is
unconstitutional. He said that what the
people needed TO enhance their material
happiness was an equable diffusion of
prosperity; that nation was neither rich
nor prosperous because few men con-
troled vast fortunes, but that nation was
most prosperous which could boast of a
diffusion of the things most essential to
progress with peace. He inveighed
against the idea that il was right to tax
one man TO put money profits into the
pockets of another man, pronouncing such
policy indefensible and immoral.

For Sick Children,
Mrs. Rose HoWthorne Lathrop,
Who Has Done SO Much Good
Among Sick Children Of New
York, Recommends Vinol.

"In my work among the destitute sick
| give Vinol in many cases where it would
be impossible to give cod liver oil in any
other form, on account OF the extreme
weakness of the patients stomach. |
have known Vinol to restore appetite and
infuSe new life in many cases OF sick
women and children when everything else
had failed. Little children seem to de-
light in taking Vinol."
The reason Vinol is so far superior to
old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulSions
is because it contains all the medicinal,
body building elements of cod liver oil
actually taken from fresh Gods liverS with
the disagreeable oil eliminated and tonic
iron added.
AS a body builder and strength creator
for old people, weak women, delicate
children, after sickness and for all pull

by over 5000 of the leading druggists OF
the United States. Your money will be
returned on demand if Vinol fails TO ben
