Washington, ID. c.
June 25. 1915

June 70, 1910.
IL is all over now.
Congress closed its session for the
summer at nearly midnight tonight,
and so far as legislation is concern
ed there will be nothing doing in
Washington till late next Fall. With
| the close of the session ends this
series of letters, and while an oc-
casional one may percolate along
thru the summer, your correspondent
is just now expecting to have an
easy time for a while.
OF course the most important thing
about Congress is the record of what
( IL has dcp". bli the immediate in
te. est in this matter has been for
Ccd to take a back seat because of
the excitement which marked the last
two days of the session. The ex-
element was unexpected, too, and did
not in any way touch Joe Cannon.
Tat individual was let entirely
alone, and the last work of the ses-
sion was listening to a speech in
which he explained how perfectly de-
lighted he was with the work.
The real ucuble, and it came near
being the biggest of the session, too,
was caused by Senator Gore, the
blind statesman Of Oklahoma. Mr..
Gore was fighting a bill TO legalize
certain contracts between Indians and
white lawyers, and when il seemed
ttat the ILL ould go thru, he mad
"a charge that he had been offered
$4,000 to withdraw his opposition. OF
co'Usc this attempt to bride a MEM
Der of the U. S. Senate caused great
excitement and discussion, and in the
course of the debate Mr.. Gore gave
details which were still more start
ling. In the first place, he said that
a similar offer had been made to
a member of the House of Rcpresen-
tatives, and, in the second, he alleged
that two eX-senators and a Repre-
sentative were interested in the con-
tracts, and that the representative had
actually prepared the provision which
was going to legalize the steal The
amount involved is estimated at from
three to twenty million dollars, and
others beside the men mentioned are
said to be involved.
Naturally such charge stirred up
things a great deal, not only in Con-
gress but all over the United States,
and the bill was killed. Investigat-
ing committees were appointed by
both houses, and they will take testi-
mony during the summer, and report
when Congress meets again.
One hears a great deal of comment
on the large amounts of money APP
propriated by this Congress. but when
the facts are considered it does not
seem SO remarkable. II is a fact
that large sums are used. but then
this is a large country. Probably a
good deal is stolen, as there is con-
slant evidence of such steals in one
direction or another, but no one
Congress can stop all the leaks. When
the totals are taken it is found that
this Congress has appropriated not
more than ten million dollars more
than the last one. The total amount

CANTRILL WINS:--The Democra-
tic primary in the eth Congressional
District was held last Saturday. The
opposing candidates were Campbell
Cantrill the present congressman,
and State Senator Claude Nj. Thomas.
The contest on the stump was a very
bitter one, but at the polls Cantrill
was an easy winner. His majority
is 2,4OS. There is now much talk
of detection in the Democratic ranks
and it is rnmored that there may
be an independent Democratic candi-
date, or that the disaffected may
turn to the Republicans if the right
man is selected. Mr.. NJ. c. Rankin,
State Agriculturist is mentioned as a
I possible candidate by the Republicans.

LOUISVILLE CRIMES MANY
The criminal record of the last few

tobacco grower from another city
who died from dissipation and mis-

RURAL MAIL SERVICE DOUBLED.
Amount Of Matter Handled in Year is
96 Per Gent Greater Than in 1ons.

Amoune OF Matter Handled in Year is
20 Per Cent Greater Than in 1905.
Washington, Jan. 13.-An increase
OF 96 per cent in the amount of mail
handled on rural delivery routes dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80 last
over the fiscal year of 1905 is shown
III the annual report of the fourth as
slstant postmaster, p. v. De Graw,
which was transmitted to the post
master general. Commenting upon this
fact Mr.. De Graw says:
This remarkable increase is con-
elusive evidence that the institution
OF rural delivery has enlarged the
amount of the mails handled and there
fore increased the revenue. This is
true. altho 45 per cent of the bulk of
mail on rural routes is second class
matter, as the increase applies to all
classes of matter, especially to letters
and postal cards, the latter due to the
enormous use of souvenir or picture
postal cards."
The report shows that during the
last year 1876 petitions for rural de-
livery service of mail were filed with
the department.. OF this number 361
We're pending on June 80, 1909. Of the
3,Ol5 petitions disposed of, 9G7, or 81
per cent, were rejected and 2,10S petit
tions were accepted for investigation.
There has been unprecedented inn
provement of the condition of roads
traversed by rural carriers the report
says, due to the intelligent and well
directed interest of postmasters and
