Doubts Committees Authority.

T. V Heating of the Rhode Island Ave-
nue. Suburban Citizens Association said
that he doubted whether the committee
had a right to include clause in the bill
for half fares. as 1t had been authorized
10 prepare only bill for universal trans
fers.
Mr. Ryan said the bill would be report
ed 10 the Central Labor Union Monday
night and that lie felt sure 1t would
meet with approval there.
Mr. Hawken declared il was his opinion
the railway companies would vigorously
resist the passage of the bill If 1t proVld-
ed for half fares, and that universal
transfer legislation could be secured ear l.
er If the two projects We're MADE sepa-
rate.
The committee ordered that 900 copies
OF the bill be printed. and George W !.
CAN secretary was instructed TO send
COPIES to the District Commissioners. the
CORPORATION counsel OF the District ana
other officials. Secretary Gall was also
instructed to ask for a public hearing
before the Commissioners.

that he broke with his party in
the tariff fight of last year. it is
difficult to see HON Mr.. Pujo, in
spite of his experience and quail
fications. can feel himself safely
slated for the exceptionally i'm
poutant Craftsmanship of the Bank
ing and Currency Committee or
how Gen. Estopinal can expect to
be favored in the committee as
signments.
SO far as Mr.. Pujo is concern
ed the loss would be personal. for
his constituency would not nee
essarily be seriously affected by
his displacement at the head Of
the Banking Committee. The ease
Of Gen. Estopinal is. however,
much more critical. When Gen.
Estopinal left his own party two
years ago to support Mr.. Cannon
and the Republicans in the rules
and tariff fights. local criticism was
tempered by the fact that he was
thereby enabled to WIN Gen. Mey-
er's place on the Naval Affairs
Committee and exert an influence
against the naval conspiracy to
destroy the Algiers naval station.
If, however. Gen. Estopinal should
now be forced to sacrifice that
assignment, his usefulness to his
district might be seriously i'm
pared and his denomination and
reelection rendered more diff
cult. if the station were removed.
1t is. indeed, impossible to
evade the conclusion that the Lou
slana delegation. and especially
hose who voted against the trea-
y on the floor, have played very
Door politics. The end they have
ought during their service in Con-
cress has been to preserve a pro-
ective tariff on sugar and rice.
But they have now sacrificed any
lain they might have had on
Democratic support; and if these
rticles escape a lower tariff Or
he free list it will be due to 9TH
r influences than theirs.
We hope Mr.. Clark and follow
RS will not punish the Louisiana
lgar' industry because of the par
recalcitrancy of the three Lou
'iana congressman; but that in
ny revision of the tariff which
lay be attempted they will be
uided by the views of the great
democratic leaders of the past
no held that in raising revenue Ii
support the Government sugar

'hich tariff might be laid

LEAVES THE MINISTRY.

ed in Chicago. prints a letter from
a minister. in which he tells his
reasons for quitting the ministry
The letter is quite lengthy, too
long. in fact. for publication in
full. but two excerpts. which are
most interesting. are given, as be-
inc especially illustrative of pre-
vailing conditions in most church
es. and also pictures the great diff
ficultieS under which the ordinary
preacher has to labor:
"Through all these years con
viction has been growing within
me that the average church mem
Der cares precious little about the
kingdom Of God and its advance
ment. or the welfare of his fellow
men. He is a Christian in order
that he may save his soul from
hell. and for no other reason. He
does as little as he can. lives as
as he dares. If he
thought he could gain heaven with
out even lifting his finger for 9TH
ers. he would jump at the chance.

have served to be really interest
ed in and unselfishly devoted to
God s work. 1t took my Whole
time to pull and push and urge
and persuade the reluctant mem
bers Of my church to undertake a
bittle something for their fellow
men,
And then this preacher tells of
broken promises to pay his none
too large. and adds:
Il am tired; tired of being the
)nly one in the church from whom
ZEAL sacrifice is expected; tired of

THE MIDDLE OF A BAD FIX.

That is about the situation of
the Louisiana delegation in Con-
gress. The predicament of the
fellow who was between the Devil
and the deep blue sea is paradise
compared to that of the gentle
men who have So long and success
fully filled the dual roles of Re-
publican at Washington. and
Democrat in Louisiana. On the
one hand stands President Taft
and his powerful administration
urging them to ratify the Canad-
ian Reciprocity Treaty; on the 9th
err is the huge steam roller of the
Democratic caucus. whose rude
impact they instinctively dread.
In the rear stand those wild eyed
patroits. not the poor devil con
sunger. but the millionaire saw
mill owner. who is calculating how
much of the tariff loot is going to
get away from him. 1t is refresh
ing to learn that Congressman
Dupre is able to get his bearings
and will vote with the party. The
other boys will stay out in the
-ain.-Meridional.

LOUISIANA AND RECIPROC-
ITY.

The vote in the House on Tues
day on the Canadian reciprocity
treaty serves to show how com.
Ipletely out Of harmony with the
party thought Of the country is the
Democracy of Louisiana as repre-.
sented by its delegation in Con-
gress.
The bill polled 221 votes. Thero
We're 90 against it. The affirma
tive side was made up of 143 Dem
ocrats and IS Republicans, the
negative Of 81 Republicans and
Democrats. OF the five Democrats
Louisiana furnished three, Messrs.
Broussard, Pujo and Estopinal.
Mr.. Broussard comes from the
heart of the protection section of
the State and since Third District
Representatives. Democratic and
Republican, have been protection
lists in an unbroken line ever since
the close of the war, his alignment
against the Democratic policy was
not unexpected. 1t is however,
remarkable in the face of the
ruthless expulsion of Mr.. Brous-
sard from the Ways and Means
Committee. that Mr.. Pujo and MIR.
should defy the Demo-
cratic speaker and the Democra-
tic majority and thereby subject
themselves to party ostracism and
the industries and interests of
their State to serious tattack.
Having gone on record in the eau
Jus in opposition to the treaty.
here was no reason why they
should not have followed the
course of Messls. Watkins and
Nickliffe and stood with their par
y in the final vote in the House.
n that event they would have had
o their credit a protest against
policy which some of their con-
tituents regard as inimical to t
heir lnteress; but at the same
inc they would have placed
themselves on vantage ground
rom which to insist that in any
of the tariff due I,
consideration should be given to :,
he industries of their State.

lily removed from the Ways and
Leans Committee on the ground

Where Lord Byron Lived.

The late Lord Glenesk's house in Piccadilly, London, England, which is up for sale, has had several notable occupants, but none more notable than Lord Byron. Most of his brief and tempestuous married life was passed there, his daughter, Lady Lovelace, was born there, he was liv- Ing there when he parted from his wife forever and in the library at the back of the house overlooking the stables-Lord Glenesk also used 1t as his library-he wrote ''The Siege of Corinth." The apartment remains pretty much the same as 1t was in 1916.
 There are several memorials of the poet in the house. His bust stands in a recess in the overmantel of the en- trance hall. There is an >oil painting of him framed by the overmantel of the library and the secret stairs in the lobby at the back of the morning room are said to have been used by him as a means of gaining access un- observed through the still existing trapdoor to the room above. He used, 1t is said, the latter room as a bed chamber, though in Lord and Lady Glenesk's time 1t was a drawing room.

ologists and antiquaries. By the Greeks 1t was called Libya, and by the Romans, Africa
 With respect to the word Africa. Suidas tells us that 1t was the proper name of that great city which the Ro- mans called Carthage, and the Greeks. Karchedon. It is certain, at least, that 1t was applied originally to the country in the immediate neighbor hood of Carthage, that part of the continent first known to the Romans and that it was subsequently extended with their increasing knowledge, till 1t came at last to include the whole continent Of the meaning of the name, the language of Carthage itself supplies simple and natural explan- ation; the word Afrygah, signifying separate establishment, or in other words a colony, as Carthage was of Tyre. So that the Phoenicisns of old. at home, may have spoken of their Afrygah, just as we speak of our col. onies. Be that as 1t may, the Arabs of the present day still give the name of Afrygah or Afrikiyah to the terri tory of Tunis. It may also be re- marked that the name seems not to have been used by the Romans till after the time of the first Punic war, when they became first acquainted with what they afterwards called Africa Propria-
