The Romans Invented Horsepower.

The Romans. among whom agricul-
ture was a highly favored occupation,
were an inventive race, especially in
the matter of labor saving mashines.
Recognizing the drudgery of hand
mills, they invented those whose mo-
tive power was impaired by asses,
mules and oxen and introduced them
into all the countries conquered by
their victorious armies. There is no
positive record of the name Of the
originator of this improvement in
milling

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, March 4.-Will the re-
publican party be able to hold it's ma
jority in the next congress?
More than few experts on national
politics are answering this question in
the negative. Some that held differ
ent views few months ago now con-
cede there is good ground for the
growing belief among the democrats
that they will dominate the congress
to follow the one which goes into ex-
istence March Is. After that date the
house of representatives will contain
219 republicans and 172 democrats,
which gives the republicans major
ity of AZ. This, however, is demo
cratic gain of TO-
Wastefui In Extrece.
Because of the unduplicated waste
fulness and extravaganza of the Goth
congress- coupled with its utter dis
regard of party promises and its alb
ject Indifference even to the consider
alton of legislation that was recon
mended either by President Roosevelt
or the people, many believe the repub
lican majority in the house of repre-
sentatives will soon be a thing of thu
past. This belief is strengthened b.
the probability that the 61st congress
will make no better record than tn
one that has just passed on. The sam
