Monday, April ~.

Washington, April 12.-The house
today adopted Payne's resolution ask
ing the senate to return the tariff bill,
accompanied with the direction that it
would be sent back to the senate as
soon as the engrossing clerk had
altered it so as to place petroleum,
crude and refined, and all its products,
on the free list.
This action was taken to overcome
the "joker" in the measure, which,
while placing petroleum on the free
list, puts high protective tariff on
all of its products.

CALIFORNIA BIG TREES.
Timber in CdldyerdS Grove are
The Oldest Living Things in
The World.

The big trees of California are
the oldest living things in the
world, says the Boston Globe.
Estimates made from cross sec
tions of some of those which have
fallen show that the mature trees
are more than four thousand years
old. There are trees still -four
ishing vigorously in the Calaveras
grove which were pretty well
grown at a time which antedates
the pyramids of Egypt. They
were centuries old when Rome
was founded, ana when Columbus
started on his voyage of discovery
they were hoary with age.
Compared with these giant
SeXuoias every other living thing
in the world is creature of to-
day, and there are only a few
evidences of mans handiwork
still in eXistence-some of the
ruins of ancient Greece and Assy-
rla-that was constructed at an
earlier date.
In one portion of the grove
there are ten trees each of which
has a diameter of more than
twenty-five feet. and more than
seventy with a diameter of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. The
bark is from six inches to two
feet in thickness, and the trees are
so hardy that forest fires produce
almost no effect on them. Indeed,
they are almost indestructible eX-
cept by man, and if saved from
the ravages of the lumberman
there IS no reason to doubt that
they will live for many centuries
to come.
Each of these big trees contains
as much lumber as is ordinarily
grown on'hfteen or twenty acres
of timber land. The Calaveras
grove was iii the possession of a
Minnesota lumber concern operat-
ing mills on the Pacific coast, and
the government obtained posses
sion by trading an equal amount
of other timber situated on the
forest reserves.

Impossible for Club Men to
Drink Liquor.

~The new prohibition law went
into effect in Kansas Saturday,
May is, so far as clubs are con-
cerned. The new lid" manu-
featured by Attorney General
Fred ;. jackson, was clamped
down.
The man who owns his own bot
tie may not drink out of it, even
if he goes to his club and takes it
from his individual locker.
The new law is the most drastic
prohibition measure in the world.
The Topeka and Elks' club, the
Eagles and all other clubs in the
city, big or little, respectable and
otherwise, have cut out the sale or
drinking of intoxicants in or
about the club quarters.

THE BIG STICK.

When Mckinley passed to the
beyond, confectionery gave way to
the big stick as congressional
persuader and after that the spank
ing of Congress became regular
paStime. When Mr.. Taft came
into office he relegated both the
candy and the big stick to the
White House garnet. In other
words, Congress is Congress and
he is President. Congress can do
as it pleases and take the respon-
and he will do as he
pleases and take the responsibility.

HANDLE WITH CARE.
IS TAFT'S MOTTO.
There Is No big Stick" to Fright
en- Congress Into Doing Its
Duty.

President Taft during the short
time he has been at the helm of
the nation has manifested a sacred
regard for the constitutional limi-
tations of MS Office. He has in
dicated in the most pronounced
manner his belief in the co-ordi-
nate character of the t hire e
branches of government, and he
has shown no more of a DISPOSE
ton to boss the lawmakers on
Capitol Hill than he has the Su-
preme Judges.
In dealing with the tariff he has
revealed the policy that will gov
ern him in his relations with Con-
gress. He will send annual and,
occasionally, special messages to
Congress on the state of the
Union. When Congress has done
its part, either wisely or unwisely.
the President will exercise his con-
stitutional right either of signature
or of veto.
This, in brief, is the Presidents
policy. The important thing is
that the President is holding no
big stick" over Congress. Con-
gress will act on its own response
bility and the President will act
on his.
This is such a marked and nota-
bic departure from the attitude of
the White House during the last
seven years that many of the law
makers seem unable to compre-
bend the meaning of the change.
They are prone to jump at the
conclusion that because Mr.. Taft
5 not cracking the big stick over
CHER backs all the time he is an
easy, complaisant President who
will sign any old kind of bill
that Congress puts up to him.
LAWMAKERS PUZZLED.
The Lawmakers are puzzled by
the attitude of severely constitu-
tional President who keeps his
hands off. Mr.. Taft belabors no
one. He impugns no mans mo-
tives. He refuses to establish an
Ananias Club. He does not send
for members Of Congress to coach
them on legislation. ANY Senators
or Representatives who call to see
him about matters before Congress,
do 50 on their own initiative.
In assuming this attitude Mr..
Taft has re-established IA rule of
executive procedure that tell INTO
allegiance a good many years ago.
President Cleveland complained
bitterly because he had Congress
ION his hands" and was under the
necessity of spanking it from time
to time. Mr.. Mckinley undertook
to manage Congress by handing
out candy to it. His stronghold on
Congress was due in part to his
lovable personality but in still
larger degree to the fact that he
made Senators and Representa-
tives the patronage dispensers for
their States and by enabling them
to pass out the plums held them
in leash.

SOME DRAW BACKS.

At first blush members of Con-
gress felt like throwing up their
hats and shouting for joy, but they
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1909-05-26

have been thinking it over and
don't know whether to be happy
or sorry. The Presidents policy
takes away from them fayorite
device for lodging responsibility
at home. They cannot say hence
forth that they voted this way or
that way because the President
asked them to do so.
1t is no longer possible for
Congressman to blame all of their
sins of omission and commission
on the President.
TAFTS PLAN UNCERTAIN.
Any fortune teller who could
assure Senator Aldrich whether
the President will veto or sign the
tariff bill as it now stands would
be worth his or her weight in gold.
President Taft has taken the
ground that his constitutional job
is to keep hands off while the
tariff is in the making and then to
sign or veto the bill.
Congress is not certain whether
it most admired a President who
minds his own business or one who
tells Congress what it ought to do,
and where it ought to get of.
