from the senate. Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed committee to join like
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president. The members of the
body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment of the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds of legislative
measures in bill form, all of which
were read by their title only and re-
ferred to the proper committees. It
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of repre-
sentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend
ed by President Taft as being neces-
sary to carry out proposed policies Of
those intended to correct alleged ex-
isting evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.

oUttldl 10 L ne 0tlilUtls
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Attorneys and
witnesses are gathering in Chicago
today for the beginning of the retrial
of the rebate case against the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana. which is
set for tomorrow before Judge A. b.
Anderson of the United States dis
trict court. This is the case in which
the fine of S29,24O,0OO, imposed by
Judge Lands, was reversed by the
appellate court.
Albert q. Anderson. who viii pre-
side at the trial, is a resident of In
dianapolis and has been United States
district judge in Indiana since 1902.
Before his elevation to the bench he
was one of the best known attorneys
in the Hoosier state. Judge Ander-
son was born at Zionsville, Ind, in
1857. was graduated from Wabash
College in 1879 and was admitted to
the bar in 1851. In 1856 and again
in 1883 he was elected prosecuting
attorney for Montgomery county. On
several occasions he refused congress
ional nominations.
II was in part due to the efforts of
Judge Anderson that John r. Walsh,
the Chicago banker and promoter,
was indicted in connection with the
operations of his bank. which failed.
He was found guilty of manipulating
the funds of the bank and was sem
fenced to five years in prison. His
case is now pending on appeal. Judge
Anderson presided at the trial.

DMM|ss|oN's REPORT.
re Profit and Satisfaction to Farmers Should Result
 From Its Work.

Washington, Feb. 9. - President
 csevelt sent to congress today a
 cial message transmitting the re-
 h of the country life commission,
 bointed by him to investigate the
 bditions of life on the farms of the
 hntry and to make recommendations
 ways and means whereby farm life
 " be made more remunerative and
 ractive.
 ln the message the president lays
 (ess upon the fact that the farmers
 h their families are the stay and length of the country and that what
 pr tends to make their lives less |rdensome or unattractive is neceS- ry to the interests of the nation ! praises the work of the members
 the commission, who, as he says,
 I've labored without pay and do not
 Nv ask compensation for their work. De only recommendation in the mes
 ge is the request for an appropria-
 n of $25,000 to enable the commis- bn to digest the material 1t has col Eted and put it in such shape that
 will be available for the nation.
 n an appendix to the message, pre- Hing the report of the commission, |e president comments on the replies bde by Missouri farmer to the ques- Pns asked by the commission. "To |e question, Is the supply of farm la Rr in your neighborhood satisfacto- IF the answer is, No, because the kOple have gone out of the baby busi- fss,' and when asked as to the reme- | he answers. Give pention to fery mother who gives birth to seven fing boys on American soil" Grhe presidents message is as fol- |ws:

two countries but nothing has come OF
it, The question has been re-Opened
by Plus Michaud, member OF the
Canadian parliament from Victoria
Madawaska, who says that the State
of Maine sanctioned the proceedings OF
the lumbermen when they proceeded
to help themselves to the water which
nature intended to flow along the in
ternational border. Hon. William
Pugsley, Canadian minister of public
works, regards the difficulty as one
which might be settled by water
ways commission. Perhaps this view
of the case shows that the world
moves Once such a proceeding as
the stealing of the Allagash might
have been a preteXt for an Aroostook
war Now, if it is ever settled, the
controversy will be ended by some
business like proceeding with fees for
lawyers rather than glory for the
brave boys of the National Guard OF
the State of Maine. And the affair
might serve useful purpose. 1t
might give Holman Day a chance to
write a novel under the title: The
Theft of the Allagash."

The Race is GROWING,


Everybody knows that the race is
growing in numbers, the worries of the
ahirace suicide club to the contrary
notwithstanding. Most people who are
themselves good believe firmly that the
race is growing better-better in NOR
ais. in habits, in manner of living, in
bers. There is also good evidence that
the race is growing in another re-
spect. that is, in the size of it's indi-
viduals. There were giants in those
days. we are told of the far distant
days of old, and the legends of myth
ology are full of their remarkable
deeds. But it is beyond dispute that
tho average man of today, in this
country and in Europe, is taller than
the men of earlier generations.
For instance, the average height of
the Yale athlete today is an inch and
he is twenty-five pounds heavier with
three inches more chest development
and ~ cubic inches more lung capac-
ity, tie average height of Yale athletes
is now 5 feet 80 inches. and their
weight 1908 pounds. At an examina-
ton of Harvard athletes last fall Prof.
Sargent found that they We're an inch
taller and from four to five pounds
heavier than were the students of
thirty years ago.
Spindle shank and hollow chest are
no longer the marks of professional
man. Investigations in London, Wen
ma ana st. Petersburg show that the
professional classes i'm these cities are
increasing in height and weight every
year. From measurements of the Eel
lows of the Royal Society of England
and a large number of the English pro-
fessional classes, it was shown that
they are almost five inches taller and
81 pounds heavier than a correspond
ing number of idiots and imbeciles in
England; lunatics are nearly two
inches shorter and ten pounds lighter;
while criminals are 2H inches shorter
and about eighteen pounds less in
weight than the average of the British
population.
A few years ago a measurement of
30. 600 soldiers in Italy showed height
average of less than S feet 3 inches.
The general average of all classes in
this country is greatly reduced by the
great number of short-Statured immi-
grants coming here every year, which
for n while will tend to keep down the
general average; but the increase in
the stature and strength of the second
generation of aliens in the United
States is surprising.

Theft Of the AIlagash.

Maine can match the story of the
man who stole a red hot stove. Some
of the good people who live over the

waters of that picturesque stream. the
