AN OBJECT LESSON.

The disclosures made by the in
vestigating committee with respect
to the footing of the timber lands OF
the state to the extent of several
million dollars in the last few years
will not aid materially the conten-
ton of those who would place the
control of water power sites in the
hands of the states. When wrongs
are perpetrated through fraud against
the United States the punishment
metered out is usually more speedy
and severe than that melted out by
the state authorities. Since the
United States government has been
active in recent years in ferreting
out wrongs perpetrated against the
public patrimony, those who have de-
signs upon it will be more discreet
sthan they have been in former years
and for this reason it may be well
to Question seriously whether 1t
would not be better to let the nation
continue to control this important
resource than to entrust 1t to the
states. The manner in which wash
ington authorities have managed the
states timber resources Will not
cause the voters to fall over them
selves in fastening to fall in with
the critics of the control OF water
power by the federal authorities.

HELP THE CENSUS ENUMERAroR

In yesterdays issue an appeal was
made to the patriotic interests of the
citizens of Wenatchee ami the Wen
atchee valley to give what assistance
they can to the census enumerators
when they begin their work on Fri
day OF this week. The interest which
other communities are taking in this
matter is indicated in the following
editorial from the Spokesman-Re-
view:
Every citizen Of Spokane owes it
to the city, as matter of civic pa
triotism, to assist in taking the Gen.
sus. Next Friday 81 enumerators
will begin counting the people of this
city. The result of that enumeration
will determine the city's rank among
the cities of the country in hundreds
of publications for the next 10 years.
According to many reports published
this year Spokane has a population
Of 36,848, simply because that was
the enumeration in 1900.
''All over the country organizations
for the purpose of promoting the
growth of their respective cities are
taking means to secure full count
of their populations, and the cities
of the Northwest are probably the
most active. In Seattle men are sta
toned at the docks and railroad sta
lions daily to watch for any residents
going to Alaska or other points who
will thus be out of the city at the
time of the enumeration"
Without question the citizens of
Wenatchee and vicinity will do all
in their power to give this locality
the prominence in the census returns
which it deserves and which will
show the great progress made in the
decade when the last census returns
gave Wenatchee only 451 population.
Maps, aliases and year books which
will be published hereafter should
give Wenatchee a population of near
ly 5000 If a complete enumeration
is made.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-04-14

people. Considering all this and other
things, there is still room for specula-
don as to Mr.. Roosevelt's course.

There have been many slurs cast at
the United States senate, some OF
them deserved perhaps, but more OF
them decidedly not deserved. The Inn
preston Of an unbiased observer of
the body Is vastly different from the
impression conveyed by most printed
descriptions. For example, the gen.
eral idea Of congressional oratory is
that 1t Is of the windy variety and
made chiefly for buncombe. OF too
much OF 1t this is unfortunately true.
There are speeches in both the house
and senate made for partisan effect,
long essays read to empty chairs, that
have no appreciate influence on rhe
body to which they are addressed and
are not intended to have. On the 9TH
er hand, there are debates in both
houses that have vast influence on
legislation. Defects are thus discov-
cred in bills that would practically be
impossible by any other process. Sem
atorial courtesy, Of which so much
light has been made. is really a fine
thing. The dignity and reserve Of the
body are without pretense and are
worthy of its exalted rank. In the
ordinary transactions of the senate
there Is little redundancy of speech.
The words are well chosen and to the
point The one great defect in the sys-
tenn lies in the speeches made for polit-
ical effect. In some degree the coun-
try itself is to blame for these. The
people demand them, or at least sena-
tors and representatives think they do.
It would be to the advantage Of every
body concerned If this style Of flap
doodle Oratory were eliminated. Con-
gress would be UNNECESSARILY improv-
ed, and the country would be given
more time to read something worth
while. This Is the most glaring fault
Of the American congress. Beyond 1t
and in the real work Of legislating
there is much that Is admirable-high
public interests. The weakness Of rep
resentation by localities and districts
is that the representatives see local in
terests rather than the welfare of the
whole, yet this weakness Is inherent
In the system, which also has its COM
pensations. The truth is what we are
all after, and telling the truth occa-
sionally about the American congress
will do no harm.
Some weeks ago I outlined the
changes that would take place in the
senate next fall and the political posi-
bilities in connection Herewith. With
slight notifications that forecast is
good today, but there have been some
subsequent developments and new in
formation which require certain addi-
uonal statements and corrections. For
example, Senator Julius c. Burrows Of
Michigan Is to be opposed for nomi-
nation in his own party by Represent
alive Charles e. Townsend. Senator
Moses e. Clapp Of Minnesota will
probably also have an opponent in hts
own party In the person Of Frank B.
Kellogg, the Republican national COM
mitteeman and antitrust attorney.
Senator Isidor Rayner Of Maryland
has been elected to succeed himself.
After occupying his seat but few
weeks Senator Fountain /. Thompson
of North Dakota resigned. and another
Democrat. w. e. Purcell. was appoint
