There Is altogether too much legis.
lation in this country. That is one
reason why 1t Is not more respected.
Out of the thousands of bills intro.
duced in the legislature every two
years not more than a dozen are of
real worth and need. In many states
there is no need for the legislature to
assemble so often. 1t has been sug-
gested that session once in ten years
with special sessions when conditions
demanded would work for the general
good.

The Emerald Isle sends over the

hopelessiy poor that her sons and

earn money for their passage to Amer
lea and will not return although many
Of the poor homes are kept running

Pittsburg has recently voted ten mil.

of its best citizens to see that it is
spent properly. Out of the humilia-

fairs is being developed. Cities. like
men, are capable of making stepping
stones of their dead selves to higher
things" Pittsburg now promises to
become leader among the cities of

A new emergency ration has been
prepared for use in the United States
army in which the nutritive values are
so concentrated that three-days' sup.

to minimum the possibility of his

France is to have a black army
100000 strong enlisted from their
Guinea and Nigeria possessions. These
men are naturally war-like and would
rather fight than not. They are to be
armed with European weapons and
trained in European style. With black
troops garrisoning in Algeria, France
could withdraw large portion of her
African army of occupation for SER
vice on her own eastern frontier Such
an army would be a great help to
France, and one that European sol
diers would dread to face.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS.
This is a time of feverish activity in
church circles. For some weeks the
boy has regarded Sunday school at.
tendance as good sporting PROPOSE
ton. The choirs meet twice week
to practice their more or less rever-
ent warblings, while out in the coun-
try fine opportunity for Cupid's darts
is offered the young folks by long
tramps through woodland solitudes in
search OF evergreen trimmings.
In spite of all freakish aspects, a
man must be a withered up old cynic
who does not respond to this sym.
phony of greenery, music, child voices
and the memory of earth's most sac.
red leader. The warning old pagan
world for the first time heard a mes
sage of love and peace when Jesus
was born. His birthday means more
to every one of us in terms of hope
and Joy than all the other anniver-
saries put together. Suffering and
want are endured by some of us, but
in the main it can be merry Christ
mas for us if we will but have it so,
particularly if we try to make it mer-
ry for someone else.

A Cincinnati man who paid 81 to
hear one of DR.. Cooks lectures, is now
bringing suit for it's recovery. If he
was never sold before, the experience
was worth 81 to him. If he has been

foolish to pick such man as Cook
as the one to make an example of.

DR.. Booker T. Washington gave the
60, 900 negroes of Chicago a very plain
talk recently. He impressed upon
them that their condition here in
America was one of luxury when
compared with that of the peasants he
had visited in southern Europe. DR..
Washington does not deny that the
race has special injustices to bear,
but he believes that they can bear
them and still progress. What Dr.
Washington said applys just as well
to the struggling white man as to the
black man in America. The struggle
is hard but it makes the man.

LAFE YOUNG'S SPEECH.

One of the political sensations OF
the week was the maiden speech dc.
livered by Senator LATE" Young CT
Iowa on Thursday. Senator Young
had prepared set speech but the big
surprise feature of the address came
when he departed from his original
manuscript and gave talk that was
startling in it's boldness. The junior
senator declared that the country
wanted the tariff let alone, that med
ding with it would injure the agricuI,
tural districts, that the country would
be better off if congress would ad-
journ for two years. He didn't hest
tate to step on the toes of his col
league, Senator Cummins. One report
commenting upon the speech said in
part:
The senator's trooping of dead lead
ers of the republican party in battle
array was regarded as one of the fin
est bits of oratory heard in the upper
house for years. Always happy. never
there to buttress point, with satire
and irony splendidly intermingled, he
made one of the most refreshing
speeches of the .sixty-first congress
and one of the most telling.
Senator Cummins, his colleague,
was the last to congratulate him, and
from nearby witnesses of the meeting
of the two senators, it is learned the
senior senator remarked:
You were pretty severe on me in
your criticism of progressives."
There was no reply from Young:
only an expanding smile and Senator
Cummins passed on, his duty done.
No quarter was asked by the Iowa
newspaper man and none was given.
Cummins and Young understand each
other. They occupy different camps,
and If Mr.. Young perchance be defeat
ed at the coming session of the Iowa
legislature he will be found out in the
open in 1912 battling for Cummins
seat. This is the significance of to-
days speech.
Senator Young gave the legislative
body, of which he has been a member
exactly ten days, the surprise of its
CAlStcilCC. I1c plCpdlCu "
an attack on his colleague, Senator
Cummins who seeks passage of con-
current resolution changing the rules
of the senate and house so as to per
nit piecemeal revision of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law. This he did and
more.
Doffing his toga when he arose, he
lecturod the grave and dignified sena-
tors from the standpoint of an editor,
which he is in private life.
The senate gasped and then laugh
ed when Mr.. Young told it that the
country would feel relieved were con-
gress to adjourn altogether for two
solid" years. 1t gasped again when
he alluded to its members in breezy
fashion as boys" and when he de.
clared that the editors of the country
and not congress ruled the country,
the galleries joined with senators in
general hilarity.t
