House Does Its Own Sitting.

The house sitting committee has

strong pull behind them sifted for

meritorious, which have no such pow

Executor to Select Newspaper.

G. w. Poole, bill providing that
the legal representative of the estate
of a deceased person shall name the
newspaper in which notice of the sale
of the property of the deceased shall
be published was reported for pass
age by the house committee on pub
lie printing Thursday morning. The
probate Judge has the power to name
the paper in which the notice shall
be published under the present law.
While Pool does not charge anyone
with a graft as a result of the present
statute, he is sure that much favorlt-
ism is shown by the county judges
and deplores the ability given the
probate judge to build up a political

Governors Bill.

Governor Shallenberger's bill, intro
duced by Snyder of Harlan, providing
some amendments to the law on seek
ing pardons from the executive was
recommended for passage without dis
cussion This bill is aimed partly as
a relief for the executive from the
food of applications he receives at
all times from criminals under SEN
tence asking for hearing with a view
of securing a pardon and partly to al
low the governor to use his discretion
in pardoning a criminal under death
sentence when afflicted with an incur
able and contagious disease without
having absolutely to pardon them
These two points only are added to
the present law, and beyond asking a
few questions the house made no OBJ
lection to recommending it.

Carnegie Bill Not Brought Up.

No attempt was made to reconsider
the Carnegie pension bill that was
killed twice in the house last Friday.
The house rule provides that recon
sideration is in order if made by a
member of the majority on the same
or succeeding days and that a ma
jority of all members of the house is
necessary to carry it. Not near
ly the full membership of the
house was present and it would have
been impossible to have secured the
required fifty-one votes. 1t was evil
dent, however, that the opponents of
the bill were afraid such an attempt
would be made, for they repeatedly
sprung the motion to adjourn after
the committee of the whole had risen
until the speaker ruled that the mo-
ton had carried.

The military authorities are considering
a plan by which these rifiemen may be

fensive forces and given uniform or al

they will share the fate of the French
franc tireurs. The war Office is already
arranging for a grant of ammunition to
recognized clubs. and from this to formal
recognition is a short and easily taken
step.
To crown 1t all. Lord Roberts introduced
in the house of lords bill providing for
universal military training for the youth
OF the country. Under 1t every one
dukes son and cooks SON between the
ages of eighteen and thirty, would have
to serve in the territorial army four
months under canvas or in barracks the
first year, and fifteen days each year for
the three succeeding years. In addition to
a certain number of drills every month at
regimental headquarters. After the
fourth year the men would pass into the
reserve and would be liable to call in
time Of national danger.
The bill, of course, has been defeated
this year. but "Bobs'' is confident that in
five years something OF the kind will
be written in the statute books. In the
meantime people must become accustomed
to the idea. The day has gone by, Lord
Roberts says, when the British people can
be patriots by proxy. They can no long
er hire their fighting done for them. IL
Britain Is to hold its place in the world
Britons must make up their minds to do
their own fighting IL necessary.
