WILL DEMOCRATS
KEEP LID DOWN?
New Building for Bureau
Held Up Two Years.

With the caucus Of the Democratic
members of the House. to be held next
Tuesday, lies the fate of plan to hasten
the erection of the new building for the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the
design for which has been in controversy
for two years.
If the caucus shows its good graces
and authorizes the consideration of q
resolution abolishing inner courts from
the prescribed character of the building.
it's erection may commence within few
months. If the Democrats continue to
keep the lid down tight on miscellaneous
legislation, it is believed to mean the
passage of almost another year before
construction commences.
At a meeting Of the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds yester-
day approval was given to the necessary
resolution changing the statute to permit
of a building without inner courts. Al
though the matter does not originate in
the District Committee. 1t Is believed the
resolution may be classed as pertaining
to the District of Columbia
The House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds has given its approval
to a plan which calls for the erection on
the Mall of a handsome building of gran
ite, and adequate in size for the use Of
the bureau.

TARIFF REVISION
STANDS NO CHANGE
Congress Will Not Pass Wool
or Free List Bills.

Now that Canadian reciprocity IS out
of the way. the Senate will turn its at
tention to the tariff bills. There are two
tariff revision measures pending in the
Senate that have heretofore passed the
House. These are the Underwood wool
bill and the farmers free list bill. Under
the terms of the unanimous consent
agreement providing for action on pend
ing legislation, the wool bill will be
voted on Thursday and the farmers
free list bill on Saturday.
Some time ago it looked as II a sub
stitute offered by Senator La Toilette
to the Underwood wool bill would be
adopted. But a canvass Of the Senate
yesterday showed clearly that the La
Toilette bill cannot command the united
support of the Democrats, and. without
their unanimous support 1t cannot pass.
The canvass made yesterday indicates
that there will be probably as many as
eighteen Democratic Senators who will
not support the La Toilette bin. The
Democrats regard it as a protectiontst
measure. The rates of duty proposed in
the La Toilette bill are much higher than
those carried in the Underwood bill. The
author Of the La Toilette bill admits that
the duties are protective, and this Is
especially true of the duties on raw wool
Chairman Underwood, Of the House
Committee on Ways and Means, has esti-
mated that the average duty on raw wool
in the La Toilette bill is higher than IN
the Payne Aldrich law. He estimates
that the average duty on raw wool is
over go per cent. Senator La Toilette
says it is only slightly above 40 per cent.
Even at that it is one-third higher than
the duty proposed in the Underwood bill.
1t is now generally conceded that neither
the Underwood bill nor the La Toilette
bill can pass the Senate.
There is no expectation in any quarter
that the farmers free list bill will be
passed The indications at present are
that there will be no tariff legislation at
the extra session other than the Cana
dian reciprocity bill, and 1t was generally
predicted that, in view of this situation,
Congress will complete its work and ad-
iourn not later than August 8, the day
after the vote on Statehood.

Merchant Steamers VIII BE Ready

@. Grosvenor Dave, managing director
Of the Southern Commercial Congress.
yesterday told President Taft that capi-
talists Of the Mississippi valley, through
a saoooooo corporation. called the Missis-
sippi Valley. South American and Orient
Steamship Company, is planning to have
in commission. by the time the Panama
Canal is opened a. feet of the highest
type OF American ships, built in Ameri-
can yards and sailing under the Ameri-
can flag. This feet of steamers will sail
from New Orleans.
The President believes the general ar
bitration treaty with England may be
signed in time to be submitted to the
Senate for ratification before the ad-
Journment. The French treaty will not
be ready in time for submission to the
extra session. A special messenger will
carry the treaty to Paris to obtain the
signature Of the French Ambassador.
President Taft received Information Of
the passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill through the Senate before he took
the train for Beverly. He was unusually
complimentary to Secretary Knox in CIV
ing credit for the reciprocity agreement.

Unless there is a change of sentiment
on the part of certain influences pre-
dominating in the House District Com.
mittee the much-hoped-for statute re-
quiring property owners in the District
to remove snow and ice from the side
walks fronting their holdings will not be
available in time for next winter s
storms:
The Dillingham; bill, passed by the Sen
ate and now before the House District
Committee, is not among the measures
which have been tentatively laid out
by that body as possible to report fav-
orably to the House with little delay
when next weeks sessions of the COM
mittee commences.
Bad Shedding Ahead.
The Senate's snow and ice bill, in fact.
is scheduled to have rather bumpy sled
ding so far as the House is concerned.
Certain Democrats of the committee, who
have desired to respond to the appeal
of the District Commissioners for its
favorable report and passage, have
looked It over with misgiving, and the
word has gone forth from them that
the compilation of a snow and ice bill
which will properly answer the purposes
of Washington and extend Justice to
property owners would require more
time than the average member cares to
expend right now and perhaps more
wisdom than any coterie of members
can Immediately muster.
The objections ready to be filed
against the Dillingham; bill when 1t is
urged in the committee comprise,
among other things, the argument that
to follow the terms of the bill in regard
to making arrests and bringing action
in cases where snow and ice are not re-
moved within four daylight hours after
deposit would require the employ
ment of an army of persons acting
as inspectors, and that it would be al
most a physical impossibility to make
the law act equally through the city.
for the reason that it would be impos
sible to hold a watch on every prop
erty owner to see that he removed his
ice and snow within the time limit pre-
scribed.
Vague Territory Prescribed.
It is also argued the imposition Of
the law within the fire limits of the
District prescribes a rather vague and
uncertain territory and perhaps a ter
ritory that is quite too large for prac-
tical purposes.
1t is admitted by the objectors to the
bill that its defects might be remedied,
but that such work would require more
time and patience than the average
committee member is willing to expend
during what remains of the extra ses-
sion. The snow and ice bill. therefore.
is scheduled to have no part in the COM
ing activity as regards District legisla-
tion.
Committee, said yesterday that he was
prepared to recommend to the commit
tee for its first consideration only the
measures upon which it was apparent
that favorable action could be secured.

COMPLICATED BY SALE.

A complication In the condemnation of
land along the Eastern Branch. needed
in order to reclaim the Anacostia Flats,
has been brought about by the sale of
certain property by Sidney Bieber to
William H. Gray, an engraver, Of this
city.
The Commissioners sent a letter to
Congress asking that the acts by which
Mr. Bieber was made the owner Of the
land be repealed, but later found Mr..
Bieber sold the property to Mr.. Gray on
July last 1t is the opinion Of officials
in the engineer department that the
situation may have to be referred to
the courts.
The Intention Of the Commissioners, as
expressed in the plan for the reclama-
ton Of the flats, was to reimburse Mr..
Bieber for the land. with interest from
the time Of purchase.

The Home and the Child.

one-seventh of the child's time. is spent
in the school during full year. And to
the state the further economic truth IL
from many viewpoints most important
that the home or the parents should
bear the expense of the child's nurture.
The disruption of the home by deser-
ton or divorce is often found to be q
condition attendant upon the wrongdoing
Of the girls. It may fairly be deduced
that 1t is due to such a condition at
home that the girl has failed to develop
a proper standard Of morality, so that
she ignorantly perverts her deepest and
most sacred instinct. Above all. it should
be impressed upon the young that there
is no double standard Of morals; that
the line between right and wrong is not
variable, but that 1t Is eternally fixed.

A CARD Of THANKS.
s. r, MCKAY. Clerk.

We wish to express our thanks to
the people of Leakesville who minis
tered to our beloved wife and mother
during her short illness and death.
Dear friends language fails us, be-
cause it cannot express our feeling of
love and gratitude to you. We saw
the hands Of loving friends minister
to our loved one, with that tender
love and faithful earnestness, it SEEM
ed we had never seen before. Three
faithful physicians labored as it
seemed we had never seen physicians
labor, to furnish her relief from the
field of medical science. Oh how our
hearts go out in love and gratitude
for such a precious ministry. This
kind labor of love did not cease when
that precious soul had taken it's
flight, but came to us ana poured the
balm OF GiIead into our broken hearts,
to soothe, comfort and bless What
a comfort what joy divine!
SO many have said to US in these
comforting expressions: II never
heard a word Of criticism passed up
on her life. She was one of the
noblest christian characters | ever
knew" ITO know her was but to
love her. Gratitude and comfort
unexpressible. May our Father pour
out showers of blessings upon this
people.
