Suggested Changes.

Representative Johnson will stand for
a measure providing for annual assess
ments of property in the District and for
changes in the insurance laws Of the Dis.
trict.
In his statement Mr.. Johnson says:
Really. there is no such thing in the
District as an organic act Some Of the
historians of the District of Columbia
speak of an organic act prior to the
act of 1873. The act of 1874 was called
the organic act until 1878. Since that
time some people call the act Of 1873,
together with that of 1874. the organic
law while others refer to the act of
1878 alone as the organic act None Of
those acts has any more dignity than
any other act of Congress. We fire.
Quently see in the press statements
which would make it appear that the
organic act-whatever that be-is SO
sacred that 1t would be wrong to amend
or change it. The act Of 1873 is moth
ing but an amendment to the act of
1874. The act of 1874 contemplates
proportional appropriation upon the part
of the federal government, while the
act of 1873 provides for the so per cent
plan. The act of 1874 provides minute
ly for the form of municipal govern
ment-subject to the many changes
which have been made. Even the act
of 1878. which provides for the half
and-half plan, has been amended many,
many times

Nothing to Propose.

Il cannot say what will be the result
of discussion during the several months
of the approaching session Of Congress
as to what is best to be done relative
to amending either the act of 1874 or
the act of 1878; but at present I myself
have no sort of serious changes to pro-
pose.
My serious efforts relative to District
legislation during the approaching SEES
sion will, as now advised, be to see that
he law upon the books be followed n
matters OF appropriations. II hat effo~i
intend to be absolutely impartial If
he law, as now upon Tie Statute DOCKS
imposes the doing of anything upon the
federal government l am willing 20 let
I go that way; if, upon the other hand
these same laws impose an obligation
upon the District l want to see these
Obligations fulfilled. When we have seen
what is done in this respect there will
be time enough 10 talk of changing the
law or of clearing away antiquities
Recently some clippings from Wash
ington papers were sent to me in Ken
lucky, in which the johnson plan was
commented upon-that alleged plan being
to have the federal government make q
fixed appropriation each year for the Dis
trict, instead &C an elastic one.

NO SERIOUS CHANGE
Representative Johnson's Att
tude on District Affairs.
REVIEW OF LEGISLATION
Chairman of House Committee De
clares There Is No District
Organic Act.

Representative Ben johnson Of Ken
ucky, chairman of the House District
ommittee, in a statement issued in re-
gard to District affairs, declares that he
does not propose at this time to advocate
any serious changes in the act of 1874
II the act of 1878 regulating affairs in the
District of Columbia.
He insists, however. that there is no
such thing as an "organic act relating
to the District, and that neither the act
of 1874 nor the act of 1873. providing for
the machinery Of the District government
and also for appropriations on the half
and-half principle. are in any particular
more sacred than any other act of
Congress.
In his statement Representative John
son says that plan by which the federal
government was to make q fixed appro-
priation of 5000 600 annually for the
District was suggested to him by lone of
he most prominent men in the District"
Representative Johnson's reply to the
suggestion was that he would not oppose
such a plan.

A Prohibition Example.

The Missouri Stats Zeitung of
Kansas City, Mo-, relates the follow
ing: sl&
ga woman proved al able advocate
in the police board meeting the other
day in this city. She was thin mus
cular Vlamish woman who has q
garden in the East bottoms and hauls
to and sells two loads of vegetables
at the market every day. Mrs. Gilmer
is her name, and at her request
Daniel Baum, a saloon keeper at 311
Walnut staeet, had sold her a glass
of beer. Baum was cited to appear
and defend his licence, and admitted
that he had sold her glass of beer.
Then she took charge of the argument.
~ have known Dan Baum all his
life," she declared. 81 held him on
my lap when he was little baby. and
if he dia anything he ought not have
done, it was my fault. But l work
hard all day aud if I can't have a
glass of beer at nj ght when l start
home it is not fair. Look at these hands
| do rough work like men. If didn't
have any work TO do and could sit
around like some women with glass
>of water and toothpick I might not
care for my beer. If I work with
hands like that and am not entitled
to glass of beer, am not entitled
to anything"
''The woman's language was good
and she talked with an earnestuess
that had its effect. The commissioners
Z whispered for few seconds, then
Commissioner Gilmore said to Baum:
Don't do it again" and waved for
him and the woman to get out of the
room as quickly as possible. ~
But telling the woman, mot to do
1T again" does not dc her. nor Dan
baum full justice. A law that forbids
the sale of q glass of beer for such
people is simply infamous - an out
rage upon the people of a supposed
free country.

sections. A Law must drst be passed
BY the elected commonsrs, then By tha
hereditary or created peers, and lastly
signed BY the King.
The signature Of the King has DO
come . mere formality. George
knows % we'll as did the ssgaciou'
Edward that to refuse to give thu
people any law they really wanted
would tumble the monarchy like 9

The plea that the Supreme Court IL
limited in its decisions by the consti'
tuition deceives only the simple, the
fools.
The Supreme Court decides consti-
nationality with regard to problems
which never came to the attention and,
for historical reasons, never could
come to the attention CT the makers OF
the constitution.
This in no way disturbs the serene
calm OF our great jurists. There is
always safe way of solving untried
problems. If new law harmonizes
with the interests of the ruling class
It must of necessity be constitutional
and vice versa.
The English King has no such

The question of partial free trade
with Canada, says the St. Paul
Review, depends altogether upon the
view point. If it happens TO be .
iobber or wholesaler Of the cities Who
wants to sell his goods to the Cana
dian farmer, thus competing With the
individual in the same business In
Toronto the jobber and wholesaler OF
course wants tree trade and demands
it as Justify as his lungs will allow
Likewise for the same reason the
Toronto wholesaler who lives in great
danger OF losing his market rejects
the proposal. The Canadian farmer
wants reciprocity because he believes
he will have better market Tor MS
crop and buy his needs in closer
market for his purchases We should
expect Minneapolis milless to line up
to a man in favor of the plan because
they will get more wheat to grind.
American farmers oppose the measure
because Lney rear tuoli o"n uoA nosS
will be stocked with foreign wheat and
they want to maintain the price. We
are thus confronted with the same
conditions we find in all other
branches of industry. The consumer
receives little attention in the whole
play. He is never known to have a
representative at a committee hearing.
He has no business there any way.
So the whole question resolves itself
into one of dollars and cents just as it
does in every protected industry even
to the railroads whose business may
be increased by the change to new
conditions.

william Bryan Draws Large
Crowds.

Whenever William Jennings BRYAN
appears ia public be, n once becomes
the centre of attractions and tho
masses gather around him to hear him
talk. At Redwood Falls over 1900
people greeted him and st Blue Earth
large numbers came to listen to his
lecture.
The Blue Earth Register in referring
to the matter saws:
Col. William Jennings Bryan Ga.
thered the largest sudiance that has
ever gathered ut the Chautauqua here.
Mr.. Bryan drew at least $500 people
and the standing room was at pre-
MUM. His talk was one OF the best
ever given in this county and everyone
felt greatly repaid for having come to
hear him. He first addressed the
young people on three phases of reli-
sion, and made them feel the necessity
of living up to the best within them.
He then spoke on ''the signs of times"
from an optomistic point OF view, and
told how the people OF all countries
be had visited we're advanced along
all lines. He also spoke Of the men,
ance to the public of predatory wealth,
and of the idle rich, who could not de-
wise enough ways of spending their
money while the country was full Of
the deserving poor, who we're being
oppressed by the high prices paid for
commodities that helped make these
same men richer every day. He
touches on many important matters
that the Register wishes We had time
to reprint, but while Mr.. Bryan is q
democrat, all parties represented at
the fete pronounced his speech mas
terpiece.
