Reduced Appropriations.

one OF the WatchWOrdS OF the SeS-
| sion was economy. and. while no vast
saving has been Llade. the chairman Of
the ways and means committee stated
at the close of the session that the
! aggregate Of appropriations would
show some reduction from the previ-
Gus year and compared to the normal
increase in appropriations due to the
! growth Of the country would show
| material saving. He gave the credit
for this to the president In this con-
! nection Mr.. Taft sent in a severe criti-
cism of the rivers and harbors bill,
usually known as the pork barrel"
| While he signed the measure. he frank
ly threatened that if another such
were ever sent to him he would veto
it. He would overlook it this time. but
don't do it again. Another attempt at
economy which went wrong was the
elimination of the pension agencies by
the house. The senate restored the
agents. and the two bodies twice dis
agreed on the item. but the house was
finally forced to recede.
Despite the claim of Chairman
Payne the actual figures show slight
increase in appropriations.
Everybody Happy.
Taken all in all. the session probably
accomplished more work and made less
noise than any Of recent times. 1t is
| slyly limited that the special elections
in Massachusetts, and New York threw
the fear of God into the members and
| they decided it was high time to make
good If they expected to get back. 1t
is also just possible that the presidents
big stick had something to do with the
result. However that may be, the mir
acle was accomplished, and the close
-. of the session. gave the country a
gratifying example Of what a congress
van do when 1t buckles down to bust
ness. This was all the more a pleas
ant surprise for the reason that the
first five months gave no promise of
such an agreeable ending.
| Congress accomplished little dur
ing these FIVE months and gave no
sign that 1t would ever mend its ways.
Then came the landslides in Massachu-
sets and New York and some mighty
straight talk from the White House.
after which there were evidences of
repentance and a desire to lead bet
ter life.
The country is glad of all this and
still gladder. perhaps. that 1t Is over.
That is one Of the good things about
congress-the relief that Is felt when
1t quits.

A scIo1on.l like Decision.

A Rhode Island justice was called
upon to determine the ownership of a
brood of turkeys. The flock, consist
ing of fifteen young ones. was moth
cred by two hens. white one and a
bronze, and had been running for
quite time over two adjoining farms
The owner Of the white hen declared
that the turkeys were his, while the
man who owned the bronze hen assert
ed just as positively that they belong
ed to him. The justice was puzzled. At
last witness came forward who swore
that he had seen dog chase the
flock: that at the dogs approach the
young birds few up into a tree and
the bronze hen took to the woods.
but the white hen turned and gave
battle to the dog. The justice there
upon decided that the owner of the
white hen was also the rightful own
er Of the brood Of young turkeys

public road men recommend reasona-

being to let road expert have charge
OF the work, so that the money appro-

be remedied.

Speaking Of applause In theaters, q
theatrical man relates the following
concerning the great actress Rachel:
lit seems that upon certain open
ing night Rachel received enthusiastic
applause. but on the second night it
was so noticeably slim that the actress
felt deeply grieved and bitterly COM
planned that the claque was not doing
it's duty. The leader Of the hired 'ap-
plause makers on hearing Of her dis
pleasure wrote her letter in which he
endeavored to excuse himself from any
blame.
'Mademoiselle- cannot remain IN
der the obloquy Of reproach from
such lips as yours he began. The
following is an authentic statement Of
what really took place: At the first
representation led the attack In per-
son not less than thirty-three times.
We had three acclamauons, four hilar-
tiles. two thrilling movements, four
renewals Of applause and two indef-
mite explosions. In fact, to such an
extent did we carry our applause that
the occupants Of the stalls were scan
dalized and cried out la porte!
my men were positively exhausted
with fatigue and even intimated to me
that they could not again 60 through
such an evening. Seeing such to be
the case, l applied for the manuscript,
and after having profoundly studied
the piece l was obliged to make up my
mind for the second representatio to
certain curtailments In the service of

New Rockford, NJ D., Sept ~, 1910.
Editor Inter-Ocean, Devils Lake, N. D.
Dear Sir: The writer made trip
to your city Sunday. The roads are
quite fair. 1t seems however, there is
a lot of room for improvement and
with very little expense. From New
Rockford to Fl. Totten by way of
Sheyenne there is very little work
needed. But from Fort Totten to Dew
Ills Lake or Chautauqua one or two
days work on the part of each auto
owner from Darlington, Barlow, New
Rockford, Sheyenne and Devils Lake
would enable us to travel on thigh
speed" without danger Of colliding
with pot-holes in the timber, as we'll as
astumps, rocks and sharp curves, and
perhaps something could be done to

adone by the Narrow grade. A little
more cooperation on the part Of the
auto owners, auto clubs, Chautauqua
patrons, and those who believe in pub.
lie improvements generally and in the
good work already begun would show
very marked results.
Let us all do our utmost to get such
aules and regulations enforced as
rwould prevent the common practice
at dumping fresh sod on the top of the
road grade forcing the wayfarer to
