CROWDS OF OFFICE HUNGRY
THRONG WASHINGTON YEARN-
ING FOR POLITICAL PLUMS.
But a Small Per Cent of Applicants
Will Land. Curious Ideas of What
REPRESENTATIVES Can Do.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Hundreds
of hungry democrats invaded the
capitol anticipating that when
Speaker Champ Clark called the
house to order there would be some
announcements regarding patronage
matters that would appease their po-
litical appetites. For many days
the corridors around the capitol
have been alive with office seekers.
Lobbies are blocked, aisles are
crowded, private rooms of the house
members are over-run and every
available public gathering point
gives evidence of the intensity OF
feeling with which many of the
would-be office holders watch the
movements from hour to hour.
Some of these people have very
curious ideas as to what their repre-
sentatives can do. Some of them
believe that there is no limit what
ever to the amount of patronage
that each member of the house may
distribute, and that all that is nee
essary is to board train and come
to Washington. Naturally this IS
making trouble and lots of it for the
congressman. One member said to-
day that he had hardly slept for the
last three or four nights because of
the large number of constituents
continually on his trail; that he
could not appease them all; that he
did not have positions enough to
satisfy one-fiftieth part of those who
had applied.
Even the senators are having their
troubles. Many of the job-seekers
not knowing that the senate has
nothing to with the filling of house
places have importuned them to use
their influence with the house men,
bers in their behalf. In most cases
the senators have declined to do this
whenever it was possible to make
their constituents understand how
impossible it is for everyone to be
satisfied, When they do not under
stand it then there is a diplomatic
conference between the house mem
per and the senator and little kind
~ advice given to the hungry ones

DEMOCRATS ARE IN A POUT
REPUBS STOLE MARCH ON THEM
WITH RECIPROCITY BILL.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama VIII Probably Introduce
a Measure Too

WASHINGTON.-Angry because
the republicans stole a march on
them by Representative Mccall of
Massachusetts, introducing the Nc
Call reciprocity bill in the house
democratic representative set out
today to Offset this theft of demo-
cratic thunder by framing a reci-
procfty bill Of their own, which they
will substitute for the original Nc
Call bill. Despite the fact that
Speaker Clark did not mention rec
iprocity in his speech of pledges"
IN accepting the speakership of the
house the democrats are apparently
committed to it through their plat
form of tariff changes.
President Taft is reported to be
entirely satisfied with the outlook
for his pet measure in the present
congress, his feeling of security be-
ing strengthened by the compact or
ganlZation Of the progressive repub-
licans in the upper chamber. Ac-
cording to the tentative plans under
discussion by democratic leaders the
new reciprocity bill, framed for in
PRODUCTION by democrat, will en-
body all the principles of the origi-
nal Mccall bill, the changes being of
no primary Importance and only
written into the measure to allow
OF its introduction and precedence
over the Mccall bill. The new reci-
procity bill will probably be intro
duced in the house within the next
fortnight by Representative Under
wood of Alabama, chairman of the
house ways and means committee.
1t is unlikely that there will be much
delay over the measure there.
President Taft desires quick ac-
ton on the measure on account of
the fact that business in the Cana
dian parliament is being held up
pending the action of the American
congress upon the reciprocity pact.
The democratic reciprocity pact
will not encounter real danger until
it reaches the senate. There are
both democrats and insurgents in
the upper house who are hostile to
the measure, and they are carefully
planning it's humiliation just as it
was killed in the senate in the last
congress.

LUTHER BURBANK's WONDERS.
Novel Results Come From Scientific
Cultivation.

Luther Burbank has evolved a wal
nut tree that grows to commercial
value in twelve years; he has de-
veloped flower that will not fade,

favor of the Bartlett pear, white
blackberry, a plum cote combined
of an apricot and PLUMP, the Won
derberry Ca cross between a rasp-
berry and a California dewberry) ,
given perfume to flowers that did not
possess it, changed the >odor of 9TH
erB, and produced new scents and
new blossoms by various processes
of selection and crossing. He is now
seeking for the seedless apple and
the downless peach, and doubtless
he will find them.
Burbank does not believe that his
methods are applicable to plants
alone. He asserts that in this ma
ton, where so many types commin-
gle, there will be produced eventual
ly the finest race the world has ever
known. He declares that the nation
must consciously strive toward that
ideal, giving its young an environ
ment of love and health and whole
someness. Though ruthless in his
destruction of the plants which do
not fit his botanical purpose Mr. Bur-
bank advocates no destruction of the
unfit of the human race. He claims
that our modern system of education
forces the child far too much, and
says that there should be no school
save play and out of doors until the
child reaches the age of ten.-Hamp-

DR.. KNAPP CALLED BY DEATH
A FOREMOST EXPERT OF DE.
PARTNIENT OF AGRICULTURE.
One of the Leaders of Great Fight

parts of the world died at his home

Knapp was from New York, and his
work in the Orient and in connec-
ton with American rice production
in the south and in promotion of
various southern crops made him
famous among agricultural investi-
gators.
Rheumatism, which later develop
ed into complication of diseases,
caused DR.. Knapp's death. He was
a graduate of Union college, and re-
ceived many degrees from other in
situations.
DR.. Knapp introduced the improv-
ed japanese rice in this country after
extensive travels in Japan, China and
the Philippines for the department
of agriculture. His investigations
stimulated the rice industry in Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Throughout the south, but par
ticularly in Louisiana, DR.. Knapp be-
came well known for his efforts in
behalf of the production of not only
rice, but sugar and cotton. He was
one of the leaders in the great fight
against the cotton boil weevil. Of

GENTLEMEN OWL CLUB
H0VERs ON THE VERGE
Simpson, Mainstay and Chief Support,
Resigns as Secretary.

Bereft of directors, and finally of
its secretary and treasurer, James q.
Simpson, who handed in his resigna-
ton To the Gentlemen Owl Social
Club yesterday, it is probable that
that select organization will pass
gently out of existence within the next
few days.
With the exception Of the president.
c. NJ Miller and a few members who
may or may not care to renew their
connection with the club, il has lost
practically every member of the orig
inal board Of directors. The resigna
ton Of Harry O. Gaskin, August ..

the club had received it's deathblow.
Mr.. Simpson promptly appended his
own name to the original resignation
of the board of directors, for he has
been the handspring of the club ever
since the date of it's organization,
and had been elected from the board
of directors to assume the response
bilities and cares OF office.
A side light was thrown on the
methods used TO fill up the board Of
directors OF the Gentlemen Owl So
cial Club, when Eugene Hackett said
yesterday,
I have sent in my resignation as a
director, but l never knew such an
honor had been conferred on me until
some time ago after the election had
been held. 1 didn't want the office.

I thought at that time the club
might turn out TO be a credible or

The exposure of the past few weeks
have covered the club with obloquy,
and unless the president calls a
meeting of the members to fill the va
cancies on the board Of directors. and
the office formerly held by Simpson, il
is not probable that any effort will be
made TO prolong it's existence.
In speaking of his resignation. Mr..
Simpson said last night, Il resigned

for me to step down and out of office,

the club will be closed tighter than a

WINNING AND BEATING.

this difference-did you ever stop to

sake of the conquest, not the spoils.
Born with the love of cold steel in

sheer joy of the contest.
