Paris, June 1.-The new parliament
OF France, elected on Sunday, April "a,
assembled today for its first session.
1t is a noteworthy body, in that its 597
deputies and the 800 members of the
senate together form the largest par
lament of recent times. The "con-
stituante" of 1899, the father of the
present chamber, had l,l45 members,
while under the drectoire the electors
named $50 representatives, who were
then for the FIRST lime divided into two
houses.
The Republic of IS4o
The republic of 1913, which estab-
lished universal suffrage, brought out
a constituent assembly of 900 mem
bcrs, which was quickly reduced to $50
in its successor. This total was fixed
by the government of national defense
i'll September, 1870. and it was these
80 deputies who signed the peace and
cnlcwed France with the constitution
under which she now lives.
Absolute Ruler of Republic.
lt is not too much to say that the
parliament of France is the absolute
ruler of the republic It's members
elect the president, who has no esecu-
tive or veto power of his own It con
trolls the entire administration of the
nation and all public services, from
telephone girls, letter carriers and
railway porters up TO cabinet ministers
and the prime minister himself In
France, the parliament is supreme with
the ministers dependent upon It's ia
v0r Tor continuance in office. with no
chief executive to veto, no constitution
to limit and no supreme court to Judge
or annul
Fixes the Expenditures.
Unlike the British house of com
mons. the French chamber of depu-
ties <aas the right to propose govern
ment expenditures. From 1901 to 1909
the annual expenses have increased
more than $9O.0OO,GOO; and of this less
than $23,000.000 is due to increased
army and navy expenses. The nation
al debt has grown to $4,000, 900 900
francs; but this does not include the
floating debt, pensions, and debts of
eommunes wnich have to be sancto
ed by this all meddlng national par
lament
All told, the grand total
amounts to 100000 100000 francs-$S,-
600 0OOO0--which may or may not be
the heaviest burden imposed on any
country, as Senator Gervais says. For
1T is certain that the admirable thrift
OF the French people, Independently of
their government. makes them better
able than any other to stand up under
sucn a burden

Northwestern line at Tracy for sums
of from $40 to $25 and in every case
it appears to be holdup. The

which are to be held in little town

down and appeared at his hearing, and
of course, his case was dismissed. The
railroad men have employed an attor-

WILL SWING ROUND CIRCLE
Mayor and Council TO Visit Des
MOineS and Cedar Rapids.

The mayor and councilmea will 90
to Des MOines, Iowa, Monday if pres
ent plans are carried out, and from
there will go to Cedar Rapids, and
will inspect the workings of the COM
mission system in those cities. The
blank forms used, and sample pages
from the bookkeeping equipment, will
be secured. 1t is hoped to profit by
the experience of those cities, without
having to spend so much time expert
menting. Each commissioner will make
a study of the methods used in his
particular department. Probably sew
eral days will be spent by the mem
bers in familiarizing themselves with
the work.
The matter of fixing salaries will
not be taken UP until after the COM
mission returns from Iowa.

CREDIT GOES TO THOMPSON
He Devised the Scheme Whereby the
Reservoir Can Be Cleaned.

The statement published last even
ing in regard to the placing of valves
to run the water from the reservoir
dnto the sewer at the corner of Fifth
and Main streets may have given the
impression that City Engineer Wilson
devised the plan. This was not the
case, as j. Il. Thompson claims the
credit for it. Mr.. Thompson not only
planned it, but has charge of the
work. This should be said in Justice
to Mr.. Thompson, who is taking Il
deep interest in the waterworks sys-
TEN.
There is some talk of combining
the offices OF city treasurer and water
commissioner and placing Mr.. Thomp-
son in the office. I'm that event, he
states that he would need the services
of deputy, so that he could. get out
to oversee work on the water system
flushing of mains, etc.

JUDGE BROWN WILL PRESIDE
Grand jury to Be Called at Fairmont;
Case of the Assaulter.

Judge Brown of Luverne will preside
at the special term of court which will
convene in Eairmont next Tuesday, and
at which a number of court cases will
be tried. Judge Quinn will preside at
IL term of court in Window.
The county attorney will ask the
court to summon special grand jury
in order that the party who made the
6a stardly assault on Il school teacher
near Welcome may be indicted. The
fellow is very desperate character
and the authorities are anxious to have
him sent to the state penitentiary as
500. us possible.
1t is very probable that he will plead
guilty. Should he fail to do SO a
special venire of petit jurors would be
summoned.

WAS A MINIATURE CYCLONE
Heavy Wind Did Some Damage at
Point Pleasant Late Yesterday.

A miniature cyclone struck Point
Pleasant yesterday afternoon, when
heavy black clouds were seen to the
northeast of this city. A large tree
in front of the Wise cottage was
blown down and demolished the screened
in porch and otherwise damaged the
cottage, but none of the other cottages
suffered any.
A boat that had just come in off
from the lake and been pulled up
npon the shore was picked up and
turned over twice. Fortunately those
upon the lake saw the storm coming
and landed. The storm lasted but a
couple of minutes. No damage was
reported from elsewhere.

"Mr. Chaplain was so startled that he
faltered in his prayer, but after a mo-
ment he seemed to grasp the situation.
He bowed his head still lower and
continued to pray. The usual time
devoted to prayer in the house is about
a minute. Members began to shift I'M

DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR.

The press OF the state has been having
good deal TO say lately concerning the
possibility of Hon. Rob't W. Davis be
coming a candidate for Governor, and
everywhere the idea is meeting with
hearty approval. Whether Judge Davis
will ever enter politics again is a queS.
ton the News cannot answer, but it will
be pleasing to the people of Putnam
county, his old-home, TO know that his
retirement has in no way diminished
the enthusiasm with which his name is
received when mentioned in connection
with high public office:
The Tampa Tribune of last Saturday,
referring TO the possibility of Judge
Davis candidacy, has the following:
The Gainesville Sun suggests edito-
rally the candidacy of Hon. Robert w.
Davis, OF this city, for Governor, and
pays this distinguished Floridian and
Tampan a high tribute. The Sun says:
Hundreds of people are thus carly
urging Hon. Robert W. Davis of Tampa
the primary of 1911. Last Saturday, the
editor OF The Sun was engaged in con-
yerSation with Col. Davis in the lobby
OF a hotel in Jacksonville, and during
the few moments we were talking TO
him no less than score of persons
came up to pay their respects TO this
grand man, every one of them express
ing the hope thai he would run for Gov.
ernor. Col. Davis is without doubt the
most popular man in Florida today, and
thousands of people who voted against
him in 1904 would vote for him in 1911.
Get ready 10 accept the call, Colonel"
The Tribune has no idea that Col.
Davis would entertain the suggestion that
he become candidate for Governor or
for any other office, as he has frequently
expressed his unalterable determination
10 adhere strictly 10 his law practice and
turn deaf ear to all solicitations of
political nature. He did set aside this
determination sufficiently to make few
speeches for his friend, Senator Talia-
Zero, in the recent Senatorial campaign.
Whether he could be induced TO be-
come a candidate for Governor cannot
be stated with poSitiveneSS by even his
most intimate friends. He is good
man and strong man and, as the Sun
says, popular throughout the state
Should he decide to make the race,
there would ensue wonderful change
in many Of the present plans OF guberna-
torial aspirants. The Miami Metropolis
prints list of about twenty prospective
candidates for Governor and we may
easily imagine what Shaking-up in that
select company of patriots would follow
the announcement that Bob" Davis
had returned to the arena.
Whatever he may do in this matter, il
must be deeply gratifying 10 Col Davis
to receive such a cordial endorsement as
that printed in the Sun.
The Southern Argus of Brooksville,
also refers TO Judge Davis possible can
didacy with the following tribute to his
worth:
Hon. R. w. Davis is being frequently
mentioned in connection with the Gov
ernorship. The State OF Florida would
be honored by his election. He is one
of her most brilliant and patriotic sons,
and his magnificent powers would be
exerted to the utmost for the benefit and
glory of the State of Florida.

HARE'S PLEASE DON'T.

News, has the following editorial in hi,
last weeks issue under the caption
"Please Don't":
What Don't hire to Pleasant A. Holt
the wet general-in-chief
sit is a free country" you say. You
have right to do as you please. All
this we admit Still, money is not every
thing.
II is mighty handy on Saturday afternoon
when the printers must have their
checks. Cash to pay on demand bills
when due or on arrival adds immensely
to ones good feelings
And it is bad to have to work from IL
to is hours day to keep going. 1t is
hard to have no home, no auto, no horse
and buggy, and have to rent only the
half of house. And to see the "old
woman" washing and taking in sewing
this hot weather, makes even a hardened
country editor wish for money.
The DeSoto County News is not as
good paper by three-fourthS as our
people deserve.
We would like TO improve it. If we
had plenty Of money this could be done.
While we need money, we have no inch
of space at any price for liquor ads. We
are not better than others. This is only
our way. I'VE have a right not TO get
any OF that money ready to hire papers
and workers for personal liberty" We
are for|the home and not for the saloon.
How good people will hire for dollars
10 fix and extend the liquor traffic in
Florida is one of the wonders.
If any of our citizens want TO handle
the funds, do not hide out. Be open
and above board. You deserve pay,
good pay for your work. Get il if you
can. But put the money where it will
do the most good. Spend it. Use it,
Help "the boys" But be sure to vote

MENT.
