Capital Tales

1T CAN scarcely be deemed possible
that Senator Henry Caoot Lodge,
by profession a literary man, who is
well known as the scholar of the Senate,
would attempt to give a demonstration
to his brother members on the subject
of hides. 1t is true that Dolliver got the
heads of the statesmen in a whirl by
his exhibit of cotton cloth samples, and
Carter of Montana exhibited a lot Of
wool samples, nicely fixed up in a wood
en- box which Dolliver persistently
called "the coffin" But nobody expected
Mr.. Lodge would do it. Nevertheless he
did
Having tackled the esthetic and in
spring subject of hides, the Senator
an exposition of his theme that was
thorough, exhaustive and concrete. He
had on the chairs near his desk an as
sOrtment of leather, parts Of SHOES. and
samples Of material calculated to afford
the Senate evidence of what he was dis
Cussing. Moreover, he seemed to be as
much at home in everything appertain-
inl. 10 the intricacies of hides and leath-
er as If he had been spprensIced to a
tannery or had been brought up in a
Massachusetts, shoe factory.
Army Engineers.
Since the army engineers have made
their report on the proposed deep
waterway from the Lakes to the Gulf. a
report that has dealt the project 8
black eye. the Illinois. Missouri, and
other Mississippi valley members of
Congress are taking falls out OF the
Engineer Corps regularly. They are
pointing out various reasons why the
army engineers are not qualified to pass
on the question from a commercial
standpoint. When the subject. of the
army Engineer Corps Is mentioned TO
Champ Clark he gets as mad as If he
were making an assault on a helpless
trust with a baTricade OF a duty of not
to exceed 200 per cent.
1t is pointed out that the army en-
gineers may be as mistaken in this mat
ter as they were when they fought
against the jetty system OF Captain
Eads. system that has proven a Won
derful success in controlling the waters
OF the Mississippi.
IT HE State Department has called
the attention Of the Mexican au-
thorities 10 the clever and uniqu'
fashion in which Chinese who are
trying TO get into the United States
from Mexico are being buncoed. 1t is
being done, it appears, by shrewd Yam
kee trainmen employed on the Mexican
railroads.
OF course, the Chinaman In Mexico
wants to sneak across the .oTder into
the United States. He is willing to pay
literally for getting smuggled across.
A typical case has come 10 light in
Chihuahua. a Chiuama0 was anxious
TO get across the American border. a
Yankee railroad man promised TO get
him across on payment of 800. It was
duly paid, the Chnaman was locked up
in a box car with plenty OF water
crackers and rice. He was told not TO
get out until a stop was made for some
hours, when he could leave the car. He
was also told he would ind himself in
Chicago and was given minute direC-
lions how TO go In Chicago 10 get out
nese quarter. The Celestial implicitly
followed instructions. After a hard ride,
the car stopped for a half Iday and the
yellow man got out. He discovered too
late that ne was in Monterey, Mexico,
with his 500 gone.

"Let There Be Light. "


Let there be light" was ne text on
which, strangely enough, the blind SEN
ator from Oklahoma, Senator Gore,
talked TO the Senate in closing UP his
plea in favor of free print paper. On
this subject of light, he naturally talked
with fervor that gained emphasis from
his own physical condition.

recorded utterance OF the most high God

bate. He arose the other day TO de-
fend the National Cash Register Com

bv Senator Beveridge, who assailed it
as a monopoly. lie protested against the
attacks on various concerns as monop-
olies and trusts
'.If anyone desires to lower a duty
or raise a duty or advance ny wish Of
his" said Senator Burton, he can come
i'm here and shout with clenched fists:
Trust Monopoly Octopus. Perhaps
he might go on with all the rest of the
animals. and very likely they have just
as little to do with the business under
consideration as any Of the animals
that have been mentioned"
Senator Scott of West Virginia Is
never tired of calling attention to the
resources and products of his State. The
other day he distributed widely TO the
Drsss gallery and his friends among the
Senators a lot of good old West Vir-
sinia stogies, of the kind that are six
inches long ana have tobacco enough in
them to last a smoker a half day.
Everybody smoked stogies until Senator
