SENATOR
SEES A JOKER

WASHINGTON, March 16.-(Spe-
cial to this Statesman MIR. FRESH
dent, 1 am now convinced that the
pending measure (postal bank bilD is
the forerunner of central government
bank. 1 believe that this measure is a
Trojan horse and that central bank
will be found within it's hollow sides,
armed for the destruction of those
whom it processes to befriend.
United States Senator Gore made
this prophecy on the floor of the SEN
ate. AS the blind statesman proceeded
with his remarks, he had the undivid-
ed attention of every person within the
hearing of his voice. In effect Senator
Gore charged treachery on the part
of the big Business" senators. But
The spectators in the galleries leaned
over the ratings in anticipation of a
man to man debate. The scene was one
of dramatic intensity. The blind sena-
tor hurled shaft after shaft of accusa-
ton. but this challenge went unac-
copied
1T has been my steadfast intention
declared Senator Gore upon arising,
ito vote for this measure upon it's
final passage. 1 had intended to sup
port the bill until it received at the
hands of the senator from Utah (Mr.
SmooD a hypodermic Injection of con-
stitutionality. 1t is passing strange
perhaps 4 should add it is wondrous
desirable it was unconstitutional, and
when it becomes constitutional it is
undesirable. But the senator from Utah
has experienced another supernatural
illumination. For my part, am I'M
willing to follow this ignis fatuus;
am unwilling to follow this will the
wisp; not from the marshes, but from
the mountains.
"Mr. President, had quieted my

for this measure, because it was al

rect beneficiaries of our legislation.

had suddenly sprung up in behalf of
those who by Divine assurance will al

But I now believe that the object,
that the purpose of the pending bill,
is to necessitate and to create a CEN
trail bank in the United States This
conclusion Is based first upon the cir
cular issued by the National City Bank
of New York, recently read to the SEN

by the fact that the principal champion

"DRYS" TURN "WET''
East Maple Street Residents Weary
of No Water Connections
Present Petition.

Judging from the communication,
which was read at the regular meet
ing of the city council last night and
referred to the proper committee, the
residents on East Maple street are
firing Of the long period of ''dryness"
which has prevailed in their section
of the city. The communication
which has produced a hearty laugh,
follows:
1.-The attention of your honorable
body is here respectfully called to two
different petitions made during the
past year, signed by Peter Welt, Miles
Witt and Fred Rogers, requesting the
laying of a water main from the Park
street main, east on East Maple street
about 900 feet. These petitions have

perate charge, but fell into an am
bush at one Of the dry water courses
scanning the plain and many were
speared by the dervishes.
The guides took the party to the
Oonga where the spearmen were con-
cealed and described the humiliation
of the lancers.
Thence they went to a hill over
looking the battlefield. Slatin Pacha
explained the positions and plan of
attack and graphically described the
operations. Colonel Roosevelt aston
shed the inspector general with his
marvellous knowledge of the history
Of the Omdurman and the military
tactics employed by both the British
and the Khaliff's troops.
Before leaving, a son Of II. H. AS
quith, British premier, was introduced.
The party then returned to the ElF'in
and went to the place, thoroughly de-
lighted with the trip.
Will Not Como by Way Of Coast.
The ex-president expressed his re-
gret today that he would be unable
to return to the United States by way
of San Francisco, as the approaching
marriage of his son, Theodore, jr.,
necessitated his presence in New York
early in June. This was in response
to invitations extended to him by var
ious western cities to pay them visit
on his journey homeward.
This evening a dinner was given at
the palace at which some 80 covers
were laid, the guests, in addition to
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt and their
son and daughter, including Slatin
Pacha, Colonel and Mrs. Pink, Lieu

Migh+ Have More Jurisdiction.

Mr.. Cummins also pointed out the
possibility of an enlargement of the
jurisdiction Of the proposed court over
that now exercised by the United
States courts. He thought the juris-
diction should be made as specific as
possible.
More serious and disastrous than any
of these objections, he said, was the
blow to shippers In taking the inter-
state commerce commission out of the
defense of the cases, making the Uni
ted States the defendant and placing
the cases entirely in the hands of the
attorney general. Such a course, he
contended, would give the department
of justice power of secret review, from
which there could not be appeal or
redress.
This course, he thought. must nee
essarily destroy the effectiveness of
the law.
Mr. Elkins defended the provision
for the utilization of the services OF
the attorney general. He was opposed
by Senator Bailey, who said if the pro-
vision Were retained, the railroads
would be more interested in the selec
ton of an attorney general than of
the pres dent himself.
Senator Bristow of Kansas offered
long list of amendments in which the
commission may be interested; provide
against the granting of an injunction
staying orders of the commission ex-
cept by a full court and also require
that the tariff agreements authorized
by the bill shall not become effective
until approved by the committee.

The BOozer Never Succeeds.
Minneapolis Journal:

Minneapolis Journal:
Title Tim Sullivan is dead. Per-
haps you never heard of him. But
New York knew him we'll. Little
Tim, with his cousin Big Tim, con-
trolled the vote of Manhattan Island
south of Fourteenth street.
They did much for the poor, and
did the rich for much. Thus the
SulIivans grew richer without d.
rectly making the poor poorer
which, to their way of thinking. was
ideal political economy.
Little Tim kept a saloon, and
served as a member Of the Board of
Aldermen. He never drank or
smoked. Why? Because Little Tim
had it figured out that "Boozers
never succeed"
Pretty cold logic from a man
whose business success depended up
on filling other men up with the
poison he avoided himself. Some
men, holding Little Tins opinion of
drink. would have gone farther and
decided not to dispense the stuff to
their fellow-men. Little Tim never
rose to this heighth of altruism. He
was incapable of it, but he was
capable of summing up philosophy
of drink in a striking phrase. The
drinker does not succeed. Take it
from Little Tim, who knew the bust
ness intimately.

A story from the New York Sun.
telling how nurse cured a fretful
baby which she was wheeling in
perambulator, by showing the little
imp mirror which reflected his
angelic features, is not without a
moral. THE nurse wheeled the car
riage up close to the window and
the baby, still bowling, gotta glimpse
of the image of its angry-faced,
wailing self in the looking glass.
The effect was marvellous. The child
stopped crying at once, and sur
viewed the glass with an air Of being
almost ashamed. Then it broke in
to smile, and when the looking
| glass childlalso laughed it waved a
| tiny mitted fist and was born away,
chuckling. Isn't it pity some
grown-up babies. with the habit Of
making up faces and needlessly
fretting over things they cannot
help. can never be made to see how
needless. fruitless and ridiculous
their complaints are apt to appear
to others. If any one should at
tempt to hold lip the mirror to many
such grown 10 babies, they would
look the other way
