Illinois Is Ahead in Absenteeism

$500 a year. his $500 allowance for
clerk hire, and $125 for stationery
without coming to Washington, but II
is necessary for him to appear at least
once in order to receive his travelling
allowance of 20 cents q mile.
1t is doubtful il an absolutely per
feet record of nonattendance ever will
be made even by one of the Illinois
champions. unless this irksome re-
quirement Of the mileage provision
should be modified. The generous al
lowance makes 1t a real object for a
congressman to come to Washington
at least once each session.
Unsophisticated persons may sup.
pose representatives who attend a $685.
sion Of congress only a few days Of
the entire period refrain, as q matter
of propriety. from drawing their en-
tire salary, or perhaps return 1t to the
treasury.
For the Information Of such be IL
stated the cashier in the ONCE Of the
sergeant at arms was asked II any
member OF the house had not drawn
his salary for the last congress or
had refunded 1t for any reason.

knew it to happen. and I've been here
sixteen years.

President Loves Innocent Jest

Two dollars" replied the young
lady In charge sweetly.
Plunglng into his spacious trousers
pocket, the presidential right hand
brought forth two one dollar bills
which he passed to the ticket seller
and nodding to his trio Of companions

party were attired in dress suits.)
Never mind, I'll take care of you
BOTH" hastily offered Jimmie Sloan,
with becoming magnanimity. The
others breathed a sigh of relief as he
approached the desk. Three tickets,
please" he announced calmly, produc.
ing a crisp five-dollar bill.
Another dollar, please" gently re-
marked the young lady at the booth.
Another dollar! H-how m-mucb
did you say those tickets were?" de
manded James.
Two dollars each"
Jimmie was blushing a rosy red
when Wheeler came to the rescue.
A passing bell-boy was taken by the
collar and q few of the mornings tips
were removed from his inside pocket.
Then four silver quarters were placed
t~riumphantly upon the table. and the
three passed inside.

Lack of Horses Alarms Officers

airy and published by the department
OF agriculture, doubt Is expressed on
the subject. The army type is said
to be scarce and hard to obtain.
Capt. Conrad recommends legis.
lation by the states generally to pre-
vent the breeding Of unsound horses.
In 1908 the government established
the system OF remount depots for the
army. Under this system the govern
ment buys the horse young, at three
to four years old, and after breaking
them issues them to the troops. This
system. has been found preferable to
purchasing the animals when matured.
But what the army officers want, and
also the department OF agriculture, is
a system of government supervision of
the breeding of horses for the army.
Chief George M. Rommel of the ami.
NAL husbandry division Of the bureau
OF animal industry, has devised a plan
whereby from 1000 to $500 well-bred
animals would be available for the
army every year. This would about
supply the demands in time of peace.
1t is proposed to divide the country
into four districts and to g Nor.
gans, thoroughbreds. standardbreds
and saddlers. In time the best type
would be discovered.

AN odd plan is on foot to make the
IA Colorado mountains a sort of prov
ing ground for agriculture in Alaska.
OF course, there are a good many
kinds of agriculture In Alaska that
do not need proving. They are al
ready an established success, both
scientifically and commercially. Hun
dreds of tons Of potatoes, oats and cab
bage are grown and sold in the terri
tory each ear and there are a dozen
other successful crops.
But Alaskan nights are too cool
to mature string beans and corn, for
instance, and the question is whether
hardy, cold-restraint varieties could
not be produced by selective breeding
that would give Alaskans all the fresh
luxuries from their garden that the
states have.
There are farms in the Colorado
mountains near Denver that have an
elevation of nearly 10000 feet and
the conditions at this altitude in Col
orado are almost identical with condi-

A comprehensive report on the sub
ject has been published by the bureau

In this country now are about 3d.

W the national championship for
long distance craftsmanship in con.
gress. The complete congressional
record for the last session just issued
establishes the states claim to this
distinction beyond any doubt.
No other delegation even approach

Der of congressman absent at all

by each and the total number of days
each was away during the session.
While none of the Illinois represen.

approached remarkably close to this

BY the time the canal shall have
been finished and paid for the people
Of the United States will be out Of
pocket some $400, 900. GOO. It will take
s12,000,000 more to fortify It; and
about $4,000, 00C per year to maintain
an army Of occupation.
A bill was introduced in the last
congress and passed BY the house,
which provided that: "All the mill
tary. civil and judicial powers Of the
United States in the canal zone, In
Guiding the power to make all laws,
rules and regulations necessary for
the government Of the canal zone,
shall be vested in the president"
This would practically establish a
monarchy, over which the president
would rule as king. 1t Is quite in line
with the Rooseveltian preach and
practice. 1t is safe to say, however,
that no such grant Of autocratic power
will be approved by the present con
gress. 1t was a happy day for the

Just a. In 1909.

When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
was before congress in 1909 there was
widespread criticism of those con-
gressmen who allowed the special in
terests OF certain of their constitu-
ents to outweigh considerations Of
general welfare.
The same situation il likely to arise
In the consideration Of the Canadian
reciprocity treaty. Special interests

the penalty BY losing. The Demo-

regained power. The Republicans last
year handicapped themselves with
