RESOLUTION TO GIVE
CONGRESS NEW POWER

Washington, March 15.-Broad and
far-reaching amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution are proposed in a
joint resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Madden (Rep) of Illinois.
Mr.. Madden proposes to empower
Congress to provide by law for the
punishment of kidnapping, pandering,
bigamy, polygamy and conspiracy in
restraint of trade, concurrent with the
legislatures of the several States; re-
specting the liability of employers for
injuries to employees; for the Adjust
ment of differences between capital
and labor and the regulation and pre-
vention of child labor.
He would also prohibit any State
from denying the right to vote to any
citizen because of religion, race or
color, excepting the yellow" race. He
would give Congress full power to
make laws respecting the conserva-
ton and regulation of water powers,
forests, minerals and other natural re-
sources, and respecting commercial
paper, insurance, income and inheri-
lance taxes, marriage, divorce and ali
mony, which laws the resolution says
shall be of a general nature and uni
form throughout the United States and
all State laws respecting the subjects
mentioned shall conform thereto

INSURGENTS LEFT TO,
FIGHT OWN BATTLES.

Washington, March Is. = Insurgent
Republican congressman who are can
didates for reelection will be obliged
to fight their own battles in the COM
ing fall campaign. They will get no
particular aid from the Republican
congressional campaign committee, for
that organization intends to distribute
only regular Republican" campaign
literature, and will not put in circula-
ton the anti-Cannon or anti-Taft ut
terances of insurgent Senators and
Representatives. In districts where
Republican insurgents are renominat-
ed, however, the Republican commit
tee will distribute just as much liter
allure as in districts where regular Re-
publicans are named, for it is the de-
sire of the organization to re-elect a
Republican House, and it is deemed
better to re-elect insurgents than to
replace them with Democrats, and give
control to the opposition party
The attitude assumed by the Repub-
lican congressional campaign commit
tee is no surprise to the insurgents.

MORE BULLETINS COMING
FROM PUYALLUP STATION

Puyallup, March Is. - Among the
preparations for the coming season,
the Western Washington Experiment
Station, west of the city, is finding out
many things for the benefit of the
farmers in this district as well as for
others.
A number of artichokes were planted
recently in an endeavor to determine
how cheaply they can be raised and to
learn the other advantages which their
cultivation might bring. Regarding
the experiments, w. H. Lawrence, di-
rector of the station, said:
very few people know or appreci-
ate the value of artichokes as a stock
food, nor their enormous yield per
acre. They are especially adapted to
the feeding of pigs and, with skinned
milk, the waste of the farm and what
scraps could be picked up about the
runs, should make pig raising a cheap
and independent business for every
farmer. l think all farmers should
raise their own stock for meat, consid-
ering the present high cost of it.
also believe that if the farmers real
lied how cheaply pigs could be raised
this branch would become more gen.
eral.
Special bulletin No. 4, entitled
Poultry Buildings has been placed in
the hands of the State printer. This
bulletin is the result of 25 years of
experience coming to H. L. Blanchard,
the stations dairy and poultry expert,
both at his own farm and here at the
station. Included in this bulletin are
the plans and specifications for the
building of incubator and brooder
houses, colony coops and laying
houses. There will be 10 illustra-
lions accompanying the text This is
very valuable number and everyone
interested in poultry raising should ap-
ply for copies in order to familiarize
themselves with the proper housing of
their birds. Many mistakes in build
ing poultry houses may be prevented
If the directions contained in this bull
letin are followed.
I'VE are preparing to carry out an
extensive line of experiments with
roots for dairy COWS. Mangel-wurzels,
carrots, turnips and rutabagas are
among those to be tried out. Many
varieties of the seeds to be used are
from the royal seed house of England
and in that country give an enormous
yield. Owing to the similarity of eli
matte conditions of this section and of
England, these seeds should prove to
give better and larger crops tnan the
varieties now in use here Variety
tests with beans, beets and cabbage
for canning purposes will also be con-
Quoted. We will grow all of these
that are used for canning purposes in
other States to determine their value
in this section. Other promising vari-
cites will also be given the test

more than half its area. The water
is supplied wholly by the rivers ANU
and Syr, which together deliver, on
the average, 1900 cubic meters per
second. The water is derived from
melting mountain SHOWS.
Titanium steel rails for railroads
were first made experimentally in 1907.
The results that they showed led to
their manufacture by several steel COM
panies in 1908, and during 1909, ac-
cording to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, their manufacture entered
upon the commercial scale. Expert
ments on the New York Central have
confirmed those made elsewhere in
showing that these rails wear several
times as long as those made of ordi-
nary Bessemer steel. Titanium has a
great affinity for nitrogen, and since
it is believed that considerable nitro
gen remains as an impurity in ordi-
nary steel, the good effects of an alloy
of titanium are ascribed to its acting
as 1ux, thereby removing impurities
and increasing the solidity of the steel.
The Increased cost is put at $3.50 per
ton of rails.

TO INTEREST SOCIETY
WOMEN IN SUFFRAGE

Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay. of New
YORK, will shortly come to Seattle to
organize branch of the Equal Fran
cnlse Society, which will draw its
members from the most exclusive so
clal sets. In New York Mrs. Mackay's
organization counts as it's members
the women of the -four hundred" and
TO get into the society is as difficult
as getting into the charmed circle OF
New York's most fashionable set.
The Washington Equal Suffrage AS
ISOLATION will continue to thrive and
to do it's work, but Mrs. Mackay's or.
ganization is designed to interest So
clety women who might not otherwise
care pin whether they ever voted
The two organizations will work side
by side, somewhat apart, but each
doing its share to place the burden OF
the ballot upon woman.
In New York the two organizations
are affiliated, although each works in
a different field. DR.. Anna Shaw Is
president of the National American
Women's Suffrage Association, while
Mrs. Carrie chatham Gait is the field
leader of the Equal Franchise Society
Welcomes Mrs. Mackay.
In speaking of the proposed organi
cation of second suffrage associa
ton, Mrs. De Voc said:
"The plan of organization of the
Equal Franchise Society is somewhat
different from that of the Women's
Suffrage Association. It is the pur
pose of Miss Milholland to send out
invitations and to draw members from
the fashionable set. We shall work in
harmony"
1t is also planned to have Gov
Brooks, of Wyoming, and Gov. Brady,
of Idaho, speak for equal suffrage af.
ter the new organization has been per.
fected. The Washington Equal Suf-
frage Association has been assured of
other distinguished speakers during
the campaign.

SUCCESSFUL WINTER
SLUICING IN ALASKA

For the first time in the history of
placer mining in Alaska, winter sluic-
ing has been successfully carried on
all winter in the Tanana district, the
leSsees of a claim on Ready Bullion, a
tributary of Ester creek, sluiced with
out interruption.
The work was done by Knute Lar
son and Albert Halfinner. They ar
rived in Seattle last week on the
steamer Victoria, bringing out with
them between s15O,OOO and 100000,
the result of their cleanup.
Men familiar with Alaska mining
operations stated that the methods
used by Larson and Halfinner may
mark a new epoch in placer mining.
IN That the sluicing period can be more
IMAM doubled and that the cost of min
ing can be greatly reduced by elimi-
lalng one handling of the pay dirt.
Larson and Halfnner commenced

Really Poor Penman.

There is certain Philadelphia ply.
stefan Of considerable prominence who
is renowned among his friends as The
worst penman in the Quaker city. He
used to write them letters and then
feel hurt when they could not read
them. When he wrote to persons who
were not familiar with his scrawi they
frequently would not know whom the
letters were from. Some time ago
he introduced typewriter into his
Office, and this rendered the body Of
the letter Ineligible. but did not clear
up the dificulty over the signature.
Now, however, says the Record, he
has had made rubber stamp bearing
his name and address in printing. He
signs his name in the usual scrawl, but
alongside he impresses his stamp. It
is a little humiliating, he says. but he
no longer has any trouble about per-
sons to whom he writes not knowing
from whom the letters are.
