FAVORS NEW PLAN
FOR DISTRICT BILLS
Representative Johnson Says
Friction Will Be Avoided.

Representative johnson, of Kentucky.
who is the probable chairman of the Dis
trict Committee in the next House, be-
lieves that some system should be de-
vised to prevent the constant friction
witnessed in the House last session.
Some way will be found, he said to
reporter of The Washington Herald,
whereby this friction can be eliminated
1t results, in my opinion, from the fact
that there are practically two committees
dealing with District affairs-one the Dis
trict Committee, and the other the sub
committee OF the Appropriations Com
mittee, which deals with the District ap-
proDriation bill.
The fact that there is no definite con-
nection between the subcommittee on
appropriations and the regular House Dis
trict Committee" continued Mr.. johnson,
is responsible for constant ENHANCEMENT
in the transaction OF District business,
while the methods employed by some
members of the House were also re-
sponsible for the death of much proposed
District legislation to which there was no
particular objection.
Time after time, in the last two ses-
"neu lHe COM
mlttee had turned down propositions, at
tempts were made to slip the same OBJ
jectionable propositions through as items
in the District appropriation bill re-
ported by the subcommittee on appro-
priations Naturally, the House resented
this procedure.
II haven't thought out any plan to over
come these difficulties. Two plans have
been suggested-one by President Taft.
and the other was mentioned on the floor
OF the House. One is TO do away alto
gether with the subcommittee on appro-
priations, and give the House District
Committee appropriately powers, as is
done with the committees on naval and
military affairs. Another plan is to have
the chairman of the District Committee
a member OF the subcommittee don't
know whether either one OF these plans
will be adopted in whole or in part, or
whether an entirely new plan will be
and adopted, but you can safely
say that something will be done to OBJ
viate the difficulty"

SMALL FIRES INVESTIGATED.
Blazes lin Sheds of Incendfary
Origin, PoIicA Believe.

The police are investigating a series OF
small fires in the southeast section OF
the city. 1t is thought that in most cases
the fires have been of incendiary origin
and this fact is substantiated when the
investigation showed that in nearly al
cases the blazes were in old sheds.
Prior to the series OF small efires, the
fire companies have suffered considerably
from false alarms. which had been regu.
larly turned in each night. 1t is the
opinion of the fire marshal that some one
who desires to watch engines in action
after exhausting the pleasure derived
from false alarms, has now struck upon
the idea OF small blazes.

Big Men are Needed.

To-day the call for men is greater
than ever. God wants man for Q
mans job, the same as men want men
for big jobs. When it was decided to
build the Panama canal the biggest
man obtainable was sought and in
the end it was found necessary to
bring hall dozen of the largest to-
gether, in order to get man big
enough for the job. You cannot put
two-by-four man into ten-by-twelve
job; the space is too big and he will
wiggle around.
"The work of serving God calls for
the biggest kind of job. In days
gone by whenever Sunday school
teacher .was desired it was thught
that anyone could fill the position con-
nected with the church, and this was
generally a woman, as it was al
ways thought to be woman's job.
We lost out by taking things too easy
Now whenever teacher is desired

the Prov of this barque of the aereal

or body of the bird would contain the
motors to operate the wings and carry
the operator who would guide the ship
with the rudder. According to this
simple and reasonable plan The model
was constructed about twenty years
ago. Mr. Cutler was about five years
in building this creature of his
dreams, working at spare moments
and odd hours, with persistent faith
in its ultimate success. The form
complete, he took it home to demon
strate it to his wife, but as it lacked
the motor and no actual demonstration
could take place, he finally succumbed
to the doubts of his family and the
jests of his friends and took the modal
to pieces and did nothing more about
it. But he said, II always be-

HIS TWO AMBITIONS

The Carthage Republican contains
an interesting story Of a venerable old
citizen. Albert Cutler, which is re-
produced as follows:
1t is little known to our citizens
that over twenty years ago working
model of an airship was built in
Carthage by one of our well known
citizens. That it came to naught was
no fault of the inventor nor the in
vention, but was due to the discour-
agements and hinderances occasioned
by lack of proper financing and
equipment which so often battles
creative genius.
The venerable Albert Cutler. father
of Minehost H. A. Cutler has the
distinguished honor of being the first
Carthage man to undertake such an
enterprise.
Mr.. Cutler, who is now IS years
old, was before old age retired him.
a wagon maker and good one. Be
sides being skilled and thorough
workman, he was a great reader and
had the peculiar prophetic instinct TO
read in the sign of the times, the
forshadowing of the inevitable de-
yelopment of tie latent resources of
both mind and matter of this great
country.
Years ago he believed that man
would some day travel in airships.
He never saw a bird fly that he did
not watch its fight with the specu-
lative eye as TO the possibility of an
airship being constructed on the out,
lines of a bird. He dreamed over it
and talked it over with his good wife
and family until they really began
to concern themselves for his state
of mind.
Finally with the determination OF
his pioneer spirit he began the con.
struction of one in his little wagon
shop back of the square. The model
