further honors upon Mr.. Carnegie,
are not showing any great enthu-
siasm over the park idea, which
takes.in a quarter million acres of
valuable land.
If the bill recently passed by
the house is concurred in by the
senate, the membership of the
house of representatives will be
increased to 433. The present
membership is 391, and under the
present seating arrangements,
there is already lack of room in
the chamber. In order to provide
for the increased membership, the
391 desks will be removed and the
members in future congresses will
be obliged to occupy benches, as
in the case in the British parlia-
ment. While of course it is very
convenient for the members to sit
at handsome mahogany desks, still
as matter of fact, their clerical
work is all done in the spacious
Office building erected a few years
ago. During the last session
the senate failed to concur a SIM
liar measure which was sent over
by the house. This. failure upon
the part of the senate was attrib-
uted to the desire to conclude the
affairs of congress on March 4th,
and the measure pertaining to re-
apportionment was left as unfinish-
ed business.

Both South Dakota congressman
made speeches on the democratic
free list bill. MIR. Burke devoted
considerable of his time to show
ing wherein the great policies of
William Mckinley in reference to
reciprocity had not been the basis
for the present legislation in refer.
ence to the Canadian arrangement.
He defended the republican party,
and recounted the failures of the
democrats. In reference to the
free list" bill he said: There is
no probability that the bill will
ever become a law, and if there
was. you gentlemen on that side Of
the house would never have
brought it in here. 1t is bun
combe bill pure and simple, and
one framed for the purpose of
fooling the farmers of the country
but l want to say to you, my DEM
cratic friends, that the American
farmer of today is too we'll inform
ed and is just as capable of know
ing what is good for him as is any
other citizen, and you can not fool
him with any such claptrap or free
trade proposition as is embodied in
the pending bill" Further on in
his remarks he said that for 9
half century, with a brief inter.
ruption, the destines of this repub'
lie have bean shaped BY the repub.
lican party. For fourteen years
list past the uninterrupted contro

to be exceedingly pressing if our
troops are ever moved across the
border. President Taft has en-
phasized his position in this re-
spect in such a manner that people
at the capitol entertain no doubt as
to the policy he is endeavoring to
carry out.
During the discussion of the free
list bill in the house, the debate
continued from eleven O'Clock each
morning until late each afternoon.
A noticeable feature of the consid-
Grafton of this measure was the
lack of attendance upon the part
of members at the sessions, and
while speeches were constantly
going on, most of the members
did not feel it necessary to remain
in their seats and listen to the dry
discussion of the proposed changes
in the tariff. While the records
show that the house worked hard,
as a matter of fact, the period
taken up by the measure happened
to fall during delightful spring
weather, which afforded an oppor-
tunity to members for short vaca-
tions. The baseball games, aero
plane shows and horse shows en-
joyed representative patronage.
Universal peace for the world is
quite the rage, and the the latest
chapter in promoting it centered
around the presentation of a gold
medal to Andrew Carnegie, who
has been thus officially recognized
by q gathering of representatives
of the nations as the benefactor
of humanity aud the foremost
apostle of peace.'' The good old
Scotchman is getting about all the
honors that one man deserves.

national park in Arizona after

time the ship and the expedition
will have followed mechanically in
straight courses over the northern
curvature of the earth, crossing
the pole. Captain Baldwin has
converted scientists to the belief
that his plan is feasible and correct,
and that through the use of a ship
which cannot be crushed by ice
packs, that his plan cannot help
but succeed. But one wonders how
any man can lay out program
which requires so much patience
and hard work as that involved in
this enterprise.
Representative Henry, chairman
Of the Committee on Rules, asserts
that he has received sufficient as
surance from leaders in both branch
es of congress to pass a measure
to change the date of the presiden-
tial inauguration from March 4th
to the last Thursday in April.
This legislation has been attempted
at different times for a hundred
years.
