Easy TO Understand.

When Senator John e. Hessin and
laughter of Manhattan were doing
Europe and Asia last summer, says the
Kansas City Journal, they took a mo-
Tor boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
In the party was New York minis
Ter. When the party had finished the

The amount of the bill. The boatman

Foo Wards OFF Frost.

Some California fruit growers now
save their crops from frost by Great
ing an artificial fog. An iron wagon
carrying a sheet iron tank contain
ing straw sprinkled with water. A
fire of tar is lighted in the wagon
beneath the tank of water sprinkled
straw which generates large
amount of steam, creating fog which
effectually protects the trees.

COAL ROADS LOSE
IN SUPREME COURT
Lehigh Valley Case Won by the
Government.
COAL LANDS MUST BE SOLD
Attempt to Put Ban on "Cut Rates" in
Proprietary Medicines is Dis
approved by High Tri-
bunal.

Washington.-The United States
Supreme court in a decision hand
ed down in the case of the gov
eminent against the Lehigh Valley Rail
road company upholds the constitu-
tionality of the commodities clause"
of the railroad law under which rail-
roads may not own and control sub
sidiary companies from which they
draw their freight The decision is a
victory for the government over the
anthracite coal carriers. 1t re-opens
fundamental questions arising under
the law by reversing the lower court
and demanding the government case
against the coal roads for re-trial.
The effect of the ruling will be that
Lehigh and other anthracite roads
must sell their coal lands.
The immediate outcome of the deci-
sion will be that the government will
be given another opportunity to enjoin
the Lehigh from carrying coal from Its
own mines in alleged violation Of the
commodities clause" of the Hepburn
rate law.
Justice White, in announcing the
decision, held that the lower court had
failed to carry out the decree of the
Supreme court rendered more than a
year ago in not allowing the govern
ment to amend it's original bill so as
to show that the coal company In
question was mere device of the rail-
road to evade the law
Justice White held that the court
was right in refusing to dismiss with
out prejudice the suits against the
other railroads.
The commodities" clause made 1t
unlawful for a railroad to transport
in interstate commerce any commodi-
ty produced by it, or in which 1t might
own or have any interest, with certain
exceptions.
The attempt to put the ban on 'cut
rates" in proprietary medicines in this
country received the unqualified dis
approval of the Supreme court.
That tribunal declined, in an opinion
by Justice Hughes, to give its aid to
such an attempt on the ground that 1t
would afford the manufacturers OF
medicine an unlawful monopoly.
The question of the right of manu-
facturer to control the price of his ar
ticle to the consumer arose In a suit
begun by the Dr. Miles Medical COM
pany of Elkhart, Ind, against whole
sale dealer in medicines in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, John D. Park & Sons COM
pany.
The manufacturer sought to enjoin
the Cincinnati firm from inducing
dealers, who had procured medicines
from the manufacturer, to sell it in
violation of a contract with the manu-
facturer and from selling medicines
procured in this way at "cut rates"

62hp CONGRESS IS
CALLED TO ORDER
Democrats in Control for First
Time in Years.
MANY NEW FACES ARE SEEN
Champ Clark Is Elected Speaker OF
House-James r. Mann Receives
Vote of Minority as Pre-
siding officer.

Washington.-The Sixty-second con-
gress called by President Taft in eX-
traordinary session assembled Tues
day noon. The galleries of both
houses were filled to overfow1ng by
spectators, while there was full at
tendance of members on the noors.
The chief interest, of course, centered
in the house, where for the first time
in years the Democrats were in com
plete control.
The political compilations of the two
branches of congress are as follows.
House-Democrats, 228; Repub-
licans, 100; Socialist, 1; vacancies, z
ninth Iowa and Second Pennsyl-
vania dfstricts).
Senate-Republican so; Demo
Gratis, Al; vacancy, (from Colorado).
Roll calls in the two branches show
remarkable changes from the last ses-
sion. In the house the Democrats
have a gain of fifty-four members and
the Republicans a loss of fifty-hve,

ger of Milwaukee, counting the differ
ence in the equation.

house in the sixty-first congress,

and after the chaplain, Rev. Henry n.
Couden, had invoked the divine bless
ing on the proceedings, the members
Of the house. advancing in groups, took
the oath and resumed their seats full
fledged legislators for their country.
Then everyone sat up and took no
tice, for the business of electing
speaker and other officers was next
on the program. OF course it had
been all settled in advance by the
Democratic caucus of Saturday, but it
was interesting, nevertheless, and
when Champ Clark of Missouri was
nominated to fill the chair in which
Uncle Joe" Cannon had sat for eight
years. his name was greeted with an
outburst of applause that made him
flush with pleasure. For the RepUb-
licans James r. Mann of Illinois was
nominated, as Mr.. Cannon had de-
clined the honor, and John w Weeks
of Massachusetts had withdrawn. Mr..
Mann also was warmly applauded.
The vote, on strict party lines, result
ed in the election of Mr. Clark, and
Mr.. Mann became the leader of the
minority.
The other officers, selected by the
caucus, were elected as follows:
Clerk-South Trimble, Kentucky.
Sergeant-at-arms-U S. Jackson, In
diana.
Doorkeeper-Joseph ]. Sinnott, Vir-
ginia.
ostmaster-William M. Dunbar,
Georgia.
Chaplain-Rev. Henry N. Couden,
Michigan.
Vice-President Sherman was in his
accustomed place as presiding officer
of the senate and the proceedings
there were as usual conducted with
dignity. When the roll was called for
the first time the clerk almost STUN
bled in the effort to avoid starting off
with the long familiar name of Aldrich
of Rhode Island. And the former lead
er of the senate was not the only vet
eran of the upper house who was
missing.
