ORGANIZING THE HOUSE.
Ho'IF = -
The Democrats Preparing for
Effective Investigation and
Legislation.

Outside of little group - House
Democrats. nearly all the official folks
in Washington are taking a rest this
week. Speculation about the extra ses-
sion of Congress is, of course. rampant
1t will be speculation and nothing more
for some time to come, apart from a
few little matters of information that
Speaker Clark and Chairman Under
wood, of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. are able to impart.- -, so,,..,..-.
President Taft will not worry much
about the extra session. He was we'll
aware of the consequences that might
ensue when he called it, and. is willing
to take those consequences, whatever
they may be. For the time being he is
concerned in getting ready for his 10
days vacation in the South. and will
cross no bridges until he reaches them.
The House Democrats have the control
of the situation practically in thej:
hands. The President will let them, do
the worrying for the present.
He has entertained hopes that the
opposition party would be content with
enacting the Canadian reciprocity bill
There are no present Indications that
his hopes will be realized. AS matter
OF fact the Democrats say il u.s. impera-
tive, with the opportunity now afforded,
that they should attempt some Iegisla-
ton outside of reciprocity, and, above
tariff schedules. Notwithstan ding all the
protests against an extra session there
has been great demand from the
country for an early tariff revision. and
the Democrats certainly expect to try
to meet it.
New Members In Town.
Many members of the new House are
now in town, and the number probably
will not decrease at any time in March
Most of the Democratic members of
the House, in fact. are keeping an eye
upon their Committee on Committees

now on in making up the committee
rosters. Some of the important work.
ing committees of the House must be
entirely reorganized and this work. If
done at all satisfactorily, viii be no
mean task. The new material must be
utilized somewhat in that connection,
for the new membership of the House
is unusually large. 1t will be very diff
cult, of course. to gauge the abilities and
for such places. With the most careful
attention that Speakers of the House
have been able to bestow there have in
variably been many committee insists.
F. Chairman Underwood's policy about
revision will be to proceed slowly. He
proposes that the work OF his commit
tee in framing tariff bills shall be done
thoroly. oven II Congress has to remain
in Washington few weeks more of the

THE sENAToRs-ELECT.
They are All Coming to Learn the Ways
OF the Schoolhouse.


Senators-elect are mindful of the fag-
end days. A migration to Washington
has been in progress of late, till now
nearly every one of the new togawear-
ers has come to town to get acquainted
little and learn the ropes" Senator
elect John D. Works has recently jour
neyed all the way from Los Angeles.
All day long he is occupying a chair in
the rear row of desks and getting ac-
cIimated to the Senate.
q, Likewise Senator-elect James Mar
tine, of New Jersey, recovered from an
attack of grip, has brought his COM
mission to town, and John Kean, the
Republican whom he succeeds, has pre-
sented it. Mr.. Kean, one of the good
fellows and also one of the interesting
characters of the Senate, now shows
personal detection for the first time
bore up bravely and, with his old-time
spirit, moved daily to dispense with
the reading of the journal till Mar
tine actually arrived.
John Kern, of Indiana, has also come
to town, and with the choice band of
Senators-to-be is contemplating the pc
riod of promise which is bounded on
conspicuous absenteas from the roster
of the new Senate are from New York,
Montana and Colorado, where the Leg
islatures are in Senatorial deadlock

He puts into the Record the names of
divers Southern lads who have raised
humping bushels upon one acre, arous-
ing the jealousy of other Southern Con-
gressmen who tell what the Georgia
boys and the South Carolina boys have
done Some of the Congressman cite
the bushels and fractions of yield and
others cite the bushels and pounds, -and
Representative Ellerbe tells Representa-
tive Ransdell he must not forget the
case of a girl-Hannah Plowden-who
lives in the Ellerbe district and raised
100 bushels on an acre.

under the Sulloway bill the appropria-
lions for pensions would be 3210.o0e.-

Senate amendment the appropriation
would be s160.O00.00o at that time.
1t will be noted that Senator Lodge
made no effort whatever to secure the
passage of the Senate amendment, or
any increase whatever of pensions to
the veterans. He had merely talked
about the Senate amendment in order
to kill invaluable time and prevent the
passage of any pension law.

DY ONE of those strange accidents
I'D which are perhaps sent upon us
for some divine purpose, it came
to light in New Orleans the other day
that a family which had always been
considered white, family rather prom
inent in society. whose son was being
educated at school with white boys
and whose daughter has married we'll
known white man. had colored blood in
its veins. The news fell like thunder
clap upon the residents, for in Louis
lana, where the mixture of white and
coiored blood has been very great, the
feeling against this is intensely bitter,
ana no offcnse is so quickly resented
as one implying the presence of the
tar brush" Very stringent laws to
keep the races apart have been made
during the past few years, any marriage
between a white man or woman and
one whose blood was ever so family
tainted being declared invalid, while
the new concubinage laws punish Sc

Good Roads Law Proposed.

In the state senate last week the Sproul
good roads bills were introduced. They
provide for state bond issue of $50, 600,
900 for construction of good roads. Be-
fore such bond issue can be made, how
ever, there will have 10 be an amendment
to the state constitution, and this feature
has been provided Tor by the introduction
OF an amendment which must be ap-
| proved by two successive legislatures and
then go to the voters of the state for rati-
fcation. II it meets success in the present
legislature aud that of 1913. and the peo.
pie approve IL at the election of the latter
year, direct legislation for the loan can
be passed by the legislature of 1915.
Four years must elapse before the big
fund is available, but in the meantime
the state can go ahead at road building
on smaller scale through appropriations
from current revenue.

terested to know that the proposed road
building would bring them great bene-
fits in the way of through roads that
