shall be rat.proof. A year OF that
kind OF municipal authority well APP

KEYNOTE Is
CONSERVATISM.

Conservatism is noticeable in the
views expressed by members of both
houses of Congress. Even those who
only few days ago loudly pro-
claimed their purpose to institute
sweeping Investigations into trusts and
controversies admitted that, on refec-
ton, they had determined to make
haste slowly. Senator Borah, who
had announced his purpose thorough
ly to ventilate the affairs of the Sugar
Trust and its violations of the Gus
toms law, said he would introduce a
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton, but would permit it to lie on
the table" pending the conclusion of
the prosecutions being conducted by
the Department of Justice. Repre-
sentative Campbell, who purposed to
introduce a similar resolution in the
House, admitted that he had decided
to consult the Attorney-Ge be-
fore doing so. Senator Nelson, who
intended to father an investigation of
the Ballinger-P inchot controversy, has
for the present, at least, thought bet
ter of it. Representative Hitchcock.
of Nebraska, a Democrat, introduced
a resolution calling for an investiga-
ton of the General Land Office, which
went to the Committee on Rules.

WILL STARTLE
TIRE COUNTRY.

Reports of the extent of the white
slave traffic in connection with immi-
grafton have been prepared by the
Immigration Commission for submits
sion to Congress, which will startle
the country. If the story of condi-
tfons as they are found TO exist by
the special agents of the commission
do not stir Congress to action the
members of the commission will be
greatly disappointed in the effect of
the results of their Investigations.
At special meeting of the COM
mission the report was laid before
the full membership for approval and
practically completed. 1t will be laid
before Congress very soon, probably
before January 1. 1t is the plan of

TOLD MEMBER
TO "BEAT IT"

The whiskers of Representative W.
r. Ellis, of Oregon, got him in the
limelight of publicity in the last ses-
sion of Congress AID incidentally in a
mix-up with a doorkeeper. In this
session Mr.. Ellis lack of whiskers
has produced the same result.
Mr. Ellis came to Congress with a
fine array of brown whiskers. Later
they turned white. This was natural
enough, but when he turned up at the
extra session with whiskers shaded
between q red and pink a doorkeep-
or told him that none but members
were allowed on the floor.
Mr.. Ellis showed up in the House
with no whiskers. When the strange
looking man took his seat doorkeep-
er spied him and invited him to beat
it,"
''Why. I am Representative Ellis,
of Oregon" said the statesman.

BAILEY PROPOSES
NIGHT SESSIONS

Some interest was injected into the
Senate proceedings by the announce
ment of Senator Bailey, of Texas, that
ne had become enamored of the GUS
tom of the British Parliament of
meeting in the evening. The Texan
said he realized the futility of asking
the Senate to conform to that custom
Just now, but urged that the custom
airy rule providing that the Senate
shall meet at "12 meridian" be
amended to read SO post meridian. "
Mr.. Bailey did not put his suggestion
in the form of motion, and the
usual rule was adopted. 1t is a safe
prediction that "the British idea" will
find little favor in the upper house,
although its sponsor purposes to press
his suggestion later on.
