passing some legislation-came within an ace of authorizing the committee on private land claims to hire a colored messenger -janitor. The Record tells us all about it. The amount of philosophy on janitors developed during the de- bate was something astounding. And if only to show the reader how painstaking and exacting congressman are over even so small a matter as "a $15-a-week colored ianitor, we would like to recite the innumerable parliamentary points raised during the discussion. But, alas our space is far too limited
 Suffice to say that finally, according to the of ficial record, "the question was taken, and the speaker announced that the noes seemd to have it."
 Then came the following dilly- -dallying and the Congressional Record shows that the house puts in hour after hour in a similar waste of time instead of giving attention to legislation promised in the last republican national plat form:
 MT. James, make the point of no quorum.
 The Speaker-There is evidently no quorum present The doorkeeper will close the doors the sergeant-at-arms will bring in absentees
 MT. Payne-Mr. Speaker, I think this will go over to another day, and move that the house do now adjourn.
 Mir. James-Mr. Speaker, l withdraw the point of no quorum.
 Mir. Payne-Then, Mir. Speaker, I withdraw the motion to adjourn.
 The Speaker-The ayes have it. The door. keeper will open the doors. Mr. Fitzgerald-The chair has announced that there is no quorum Can the house then dc business?
 The Speaker-The chair stands corrected The doorkeeper will close the doors.
 vote was taken and the house refused tc adjourn.
 In order to secure a quorum the sergeant-at arms brought in 165 members that were absen when the discussion started The Speaker-A quorum is present. The doorkeeper will open the doors | So the doors were opened! Had the congressional doors been closed anC opened once more, it is probable the coloreC janitor would have been legislated into a posi- ton.

h The Halls of Congress
Special Washington Correspondence.
BY TAV.

Imagine the next house of representatives democratic by a substantial majority Champ Clark is speaker, and Underwood of Alabama is the democratic floor leader
 An insurgent meets G. o. F. standpatter in the corridor of the Capitol Says the insurgent::
 Well, it happened And it was just as told you standpatters it would be- You have been wiped off the political map. Tawney of Minnesota is gone Smith of Iowa is gone, and the few members of the old stand-pat bunch that did get back can count their majorities on one hand. But it serves you fellows right You had ample warning You allowed Cannon and Aldrich to throttle every piece of progressive legislation that came up, and the public was on to you at every jump in the road You revised the tariff upward when you promised to do just the opposite. But even then you were not sat- ished with the predicament you found your self in. You capped the climax by having Pres ldent Taft declare the Aldrich- -Payne-Smoot bill to be the best tariff measure ever enacted into law, when as matter of fact even the Amer ican school children knew the bill was filled with Jokers conceived to rob the people for the thiev- ing sugar trust and other tariff benefciaries It was absolutely certain that the public would whack you over your political heads at the very first opportunity And they did!"
 Then the regular gives his version of it, as follows:
 q fear, my friend of the west, that you do not apply the law of cause and effect to the sit uation. The defeat of the regular organization was due to a few reformers and traitors who called themselves republicans, but were really democrats. Pretending to be republicans, they learned all of the organization secrets and then started in on campaign of blabbing instead of fighting the thing out in caucus as they should have done and as they would have done had they been republicans with the good of the par ty at heart. You fellows acted like democrats from the start and Uncle Joe called the right term on you when he called you democrats. You mention the sugar joke Do you know how much money the sugar people contributed to the re- publican campaign fund? If you don't, you hadn't ought to say word. The sugar joker, my friend and every other piece of legislation about which you complained, was absolutely necessary to bring in campaign funds. By mak- ing such howl over these particular features of the tariff bill you only directed attention to the organization business methods, with the re- suit that republican voters deserted us by regi- ments. The result of your wretched politics is that the present house is democratic, and the

next president is mighty likely to be of the same religion. Shame on the insurgents!'
 Just then along comes 'sUncle Joe," who has been defeated for reelection, but has opened lobby in Washington for Standard Oil and the liquor people. The standpatter appeals to the old gentleman with the stogie, but the latter waves him to one side, saying that he has made his millions and has therefore assumed the GUS tomary public be damned" attitude.
 Even the republicans are not finding it so hard to imagine the next house democratic, es- pecially when they stop to consider-irst, the result of the recent congressional election in the Sixth Missouri district, where 100 per cent gain was made by Dickinson, the democratic candidate; second, the result of the Success magazine straw ballot, which showed 517 repub- licans approving and 6,313 republicans disap- proving the attitude of Adrich (which was ap- proved by President Taft on the tariff; and third, the reducing of the majority of the repub- lcan governor of Massachusetts, in an election
 in which the new tariff law was the sole issue, from 60,000 to 5000. It should not be overlook ed that the voters of the Sixth Missouri district who repudiated the Payne Aldrich- Shoot are at the present time receiving high prices for butter and eggs, grain and livestock, and it was this class of voters the republicans had expected to find enthusiastically endorsing tariff revision upward.
 All indications are that President Taft ex- poets to be his own successor. Postmaster Gen. eral Frank Hitchcock is steam-roering from early morning to night, and every day in the week, putting men who will support Taft in the next republican national convention into federal positions, and keeping out men who have the least taint of Roosevetism in their political rec ords. Another evidence of MT. Taft's expecta- tion to secure a re-nomination is the nervous ness he is displaying over the Ohio situation. He is holding conferences with Ohio politicians every day, trying to determine upon someone who might be able to beat Governor Harmon What Mir. Taft fears is that in the event Jf Mr. 1 Harmon being reelected governor, he might be compelled to face fellow-O Ohoan in the presi- dential race, which would mean the loss of Ohio to the republicans in all probability. Among the Ohio politicians whom the president has called to the White House is Ex-Senator For aker, who was driven out of public life by the publication of letters written while he was United States senator, by the president of

 Still this does not necessary signify that con gress is deserving of the criticism that the "muck-raking" magazines are heaping upon it for it's do-nothing policy We say this advised ly, because we read the Congressional Record, and are consequently at least partially informed as to the efforts.

 An opportunity to test the anti Cannon senti- ment of the New England states will be had at the special election to be held in Massachusetts for the purpose of filling the vacancy caused by the death of Representative William c. Lover ing, who was an out-and-out insurgent. The re- publican congressional committee is leaving no stone unturned to have Mir. Lovering's place filled by Cannon sympathizer.
 The Washington Star, an ardent supporter of Cannonism and Aldrchism, says editorially that the republicans should by all means permit an investigation of the high cost of living and the relationship of the tariff thereto in order ''to prepare their reply for use in, the congress sional campaigns" In other words Senator Aldrich has decided to permit an investigation in order to bring in a verdict to the effect that the increased cost of living is not caused by ex- cessive tariff rates. Then this "report of the senate investigation" will be used in the con- gressional campaigns to vindicate the Payne Aldrich-S Shoot law. And the president endorses the scheme.

WHEN LIVING WAS
REALLY COSTLY
SENATOR LODGE DIGS UP SOME
OLD FACTS OF INTER
EST NOW.

WASHINGTON, March Senator
Lodge has discovered that there was
time in the past when prices were
unusually high The fact came to
him through the finding of an old doc
ument of the oath congress- It is a
recommendation by the Secretary of
the Treasury for an increase of the
salaries of clerks and the Senator to-
day obtained permission from the
Senate for the reprinting OF the pa
per
Mr.. Lodge explained that it was &C
companied by a private memorandum
of expenses which had been kept by
the clerk. At that time the memoran-
dunn showed that the price of sugar
was IA cents pound, -four So bar
rel and illuminating oil 81 per gallon.
On the other hand labor was paid only
20 cents day.
1T would appear" commented Mr..
Lodge, that there have been other
times when articles were high.
"At the same time transportation
cost 10 cents per mile, whereas it is
now cents a MALE" responded Sem
ator Bacon. Conditions are entirely
different"
Mr.. Clapp inquired the date of the
document, and when told that it was
1886, he raised laugh at the expense
Of the Massachusetts Senator by in
curing whether he spoke from memo
