| WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-Sev-
enty-five thousand dollars a year Is the
compensation that President Taft will en-
| joy during his term of office, while the
speaker, vice president and federal judges
will be compelled to rock along with
their present paltry salaries. The house
of representatives sat hard upon the eff
fort to pay the president one hundred
thousand and to increase correspondence
the salaries of other federal officials, in
GLIDING judges.
| The $4,000 annual salary for the presi-
dent was first suggested by Senator Clay
as a compromise, and in the senate Ii
lacked only two votes of passing. The
Georgian made a strong speech against
doubling the presidents salary, but 1t was
evident that the senate was going to vote
the increase. Hoping to check the move,
Senator Clay suggested a salary of $4,000
as a compromise. and it came near to be-
ing adopted.
Had the senate accepted the Georgian $
compromise, much valuable time would
have been saved, for the house, after a
| long debate came to the figures first sug-
gested by Senator Clay. .-,
| Cochran Will Be Missed
It is a matter of general regret that
| w. Bourke Cochran, of New York, will
be missing from the sixty-first congress.
Not only will he be missing, he will BE-
! missed for Mr.. Cochran towers head
and shoulders over them all as an orator
and he is a pretty good Democrat,
too.
It is regarded as unfortunate that New
York politics are so manipulated that one
or two men in the greater city practical
| ly appoint all of the Democratic office
holders. Mr.. Cochran, for some reason
unknown to the public. displeased Tam
many Leader Murphy, and the latter de-
creed that Cochran should not return to
congress. Mr.. Cochran did not stand for
reelection, for without the support of the
Democratic organization he could not
have been elected, and Mr.. Murphy made
it known that he could not get the sup
port Of Tammany, but, on the contrary,
would challenge Tammany's antagonism
if ne stod for reelection.
No Postal Savings Banks
| 1t is superhuous to say there will be
no postal savings bank legislation pit
this session of congress, but it may be in
teresting to add that there is not like
| ly to be any such legislation at the extra
session; indeed, it begins to look as if
postal savings bank is decidedly remote
of realization, and what's more, many
people are beginning to doubt whether
the agitators of this question are really
! in earnest.
| The bankers of the country are practi-
| cally unanimous in their opposition to
the postal savings bank, though it is
conceded generally that their arguments
are pitifully weak ana transparent. How
ever, their influence together with the
| Influence of other interests has been
| strong enough to prevent any action thus
/ far.
The Republican party is committed to
/ the postal savings bank, but the Repub-
| lican party is committed to many propo-
sitions that it never presses in congress.

season are practicable means much TO
northwest Georgia. AS has been stated
IN these dispatches the project marks a
new and an important departure on part
of the government. Never before has
congress recognized the possibility of
storage reservoirs for water conserva-
ton, and except for the persistence of
Representatives Lee and Burnett, of Ala
bama, the project would not have re-
ceived recognition this year.
Experts declare that the Coosa river
has $4,000 twelve-hour horse power, ac-
cording to standard tables. 1t would re-
quire 400, 900 tons of coal to develop this
horsepower, II generated by steam. The
coal, valued at 81 a ton, the minimum,
would cost 81, 10000.
The same experts declare that the pow
er of the Coosa can be trebled by the
building of storage reservoirs and the
conservation of the water in the rainy
season. Instead of 10000 horsepower,
it is safely estimated that the Coosa
would develop 10000 horsepower, or A.
240, 900 in money.
Besides all of the power the reservoirs
would develop, it should be borne in mind
that they would also make the Coosa nav
igable. with from to feet of water,

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-Sen-
ator Tillman's resolution calling upon the
postoffice committee Of the senate to pass
upon the admissibility to the mails OF
ne presidents homes commission report
has directed attention to this remarkable
publication. The South Carolinian, as has
been indicated in these dispatches. wants
to know whether the report is not too
obscene in character to go through the
mails.
Except for the Tillman resolution, it is
not likely that the publication, bulky,
unattracive papber volume of 3S1 pages,
would have attracted even passing atten-
ton. When issued last week it fell into
the hands of many persons. but in near
ly every instance was laid aside as worth
less or maybe, for future reference.
But the Tillman resolution created an
unprecedented demand for the book. The
supply was soon exhausted, and those
who laid aside the copies they had in the
first instance began to look eagerly for
1t.
Much Information
The book was chock full of stuff" all
corts of stuff" to be sure. Page after
page is devoted to things that will in
terest few persons. things which nobody
would ever imagine our government had
or could have any interest in.
For instance, Care of the Skin "Ab-
Iutions and Baths" How to Keep In

NAL CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
BY Ralph Smith

/ The leaders always manage to find some
reason for not allowing the postal savings
bank bill and other desired legislation to
| come up on its merits. Every once in a
while, Senator Carter, in charge Of the
bank BILL gets in in the senate and makes
a spread eagle speech about the necessity
of the postal savings bank, but somehow
or other the bill never gets up for con-
sideration on its merits,
Condolences
| During the consideration in the senate
of the agricultural appropriation bill the
other day Senator McCreary, Democrat,
of Kentucky, and Hansborough, Repub-
iican, of North Dakota, had occasion
| good reason indeed, to condole and COM
miserate each other. There was in the
bill an innocent little provision creating
| commission to investigate the use or
alcohol in the United States. The COM
| mission was to have consisted of two SEN
ators and three representatives, and it
contained a further proviso that any SEN
ator or representative whose term expired
! during the life Of the commission should
continue to draw his regular salary Of
| $500 per year. t.e
1t was generally understood that the
purpose of the commission was to care
! for a number of lame ducks. Messrs.
McCreary and Marlborough were the
| senators slated for the commission. They
retire to private life on March 4th, and
! Hansborough, it is stated has no visible
means of support and is III bad health,
| besides. McCreary is we'll fixed. but then
the $500 a year locked good to him.
The Demoracts made a point of order
on the commission, and it was eventually
knocked out. While the point was being
debated, Hansborough sought out
MrCraarxy nd he txxo d.
! jectedly, contemplating the ultimate fate
of the commission.
Little Old New England
Little old" New England will shape
the next tariff bill, or, rather, four states
of little old" New England will do the
shaping. 1t is authoritatively announced
/ that Senators Lodge and Gallinger, the
| former of Massachusetts, and the latter
of New Hampshire, will succeed Senators
Platt, of New York. and Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, on the finance committee
( of the senate. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
! Island, is chairman of the committee, and
Senator Hale, of Maine. is now a mem
ber There are six Republicans and five
Democrats on this-the most important
committee of the senate
The elevation of Lodge and Gallinger to
membership will give little old" New
England a clear majority of the Repubn-
cans, and the Republicans of the finance
committee will, as usual, frame the tar
if bill.
Everybody knows just how crazy
New England is about tariff revision,
wherefore everybody may judge for them
selves just how much of a revision the
grand old party will make.

How To Sleep
Further along in the book, the sleeper

dreams is discussed at length A large
portion of the volume is given over TO
the discussion of various diseases, such
as typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever, ETC.,
and another chapter is devoted to infant
mortality. Mothers are urged to avoid
the nursing bottle for their children, and
also to eschew wet-nurses, and allow
their babies to get nourishment in pure
ly natural way from the mother herself.
Mothers are given much Information Of
Confidential character regarding the care
of themselves while nursing, and the sub
iect of inducing the Kid TO agree 70 SUD-

The appointment itself was one
as the most unpopular and indefen-

advised the withdrawal of the ap-

This action relieves Mr.. Taft
rom an embarrassing situation and
enables him TO carry his announced
purpose OF consulting the wishes

has placed himself so squarely on
