Seems Ridiculous.

thoroughly practical politics. these peo-

shoulder with a disdainful sweep that
indicated clearly that he meant the
kindly and amiable people who, in the

that If they can prevent Roosevelt be-

this movement.
Yes, ! know II may seem ridiculous
to you; It does to me. that intelligent
men. dealing with public affairs and sup
posed to be observers and students of
public sentiment: could have so narrow
a vision. But tell you that's what
they think; and that's why they are so
desperate. Some of 'em are perfectly
sincere. too, in their belief that this pro-
gressive movement really Is a menace
to our institutions. They Just don't
know what it's all about, they can't un.

going to be chucked out.

Gets Endorsement
Of Commissioners

Declaring 1t Is not unusual among a
certain class of undertakers to obtain
possession of a body. and hold 1t against
the demands OF those entitled to its
custody In order to enforce payment
of exorbitant charges for it's removal,
caring and embalming, the Commission
ers sent to Congress today a favorable
report OH the bill introduced by Con-
gressman Towner of Iowa to amend
the District code relating to the disposal
of dead bodies.
thero is no penalty for the unlawful de-
tention of body. nor Is there an eff
cient remedy by which the custody Of
usch body may be obtained.
1t will be possible under the proposed
law for the health officer to issue a
permit for the removal of a body. from
one place to another in the District
without waiting for the issuance of a
death certificate from the attending
physician or coroner. The fact that
under the present law transfer permits
must be issued upon the basis of the
death certificate, results in delay II is
said, IN the removal Of bodies from
place to place for the purpose of en-
balming.
The proposed law authorizes the
Health officer to appoint responsible
persons connected with the hospitals
and asylums to issue transfer permits.
Under the proposed law It will be
possible for the Health Officer to recog-
officers of the Federal Government,
even though such officers may not be
duly licensed to practice medicine In the
District.

They were insisting today that with

viewpoint the fight was already over

Walker Condemns
The Clayton Bill

You might as well repeal the patent
laws of the United States" said Albert
H. Walker, OF New York, this morning
before the subcommittee of the Senate
Judiciary Committee considering the
Clayton anti-iniunction bill, "as to pass
this measure"
The Clayton bill provides that bond
for damages sustained by enjoined
party shall be eXacted by the court.
The interlocutory degree, to which this
provision applies, is the crux OF patent
litigation, said Walker. and II such
bond Is required the poor inventor will
be wholly unable to defend himself
from the infringements OF a strong or
wealthy invader of his patent rights.
He asserted that the discretion OF
Federal judges In issuing DEGREES had
ture of the bill had come to the SEN
ate without a single reason being
advanced for Its saaetmept. =

A Level-Headed Pars0n

From the National Monthly.
 Just before the collection was taket up on Sunday morning, negro clergy man announced that he regretted to state that a certain brother had forgotten tt lock the door of his chicken house the night before. and as result in the morn ing he found that most of the fowls had disappeared.

 The result was a fine collection, moi a single member of the congregation feigning sleep. After it was counted the old parson came forward.

Birds Attack Tower Painters

From the Nashville Democrat.
 Worl1men who have been painting the
 tower of College Hall on the Wander bilt campus were attacked while sus- pended on their lofty scaffold by two ldiminutive sparrow hawks, the self lappointed guardians of the tower. One of the birds the workmen said. lighted upon one of the gargoyles of the tower soon after tho painting was started and after a few moments of accommodating sallied into the mere
 man." pecking at his head and beating him with it's wings. The workman
 fought back, but the bird was not hurt.
 It's cries brought it's mate to it's as- sistance and together the birds con-
 tlnued the battle.
 lucky stroke of the workman's paint brush at last sent one of the hawks away and the other soon fol- lowed The workmen said that the birds were small but that he was afraid his eyes would be pecked out before he cold beat the hawks away The behavior of the birds is strange as thisis not the nesting season, and they presumably had no reason for wanting to guard their tower except the fact that it had been their home for sey- eral years. Rarely if ever before have sparrow hawks been known to attack a human being.

Navigation on the Osage

From the Kansas City Journal
 One of the very erookedest streams any where is the Osage river in Missouri. In that region they tell of a farmer living on the banks of that river who had a small fatboat which one day he loaded with produce and foated down to mar ket, six miles away. He exchanged the produce for goods at one of the stores and loaded his goods in the flatboat.
 How are you going to get your stuff home, Bill?" asked d friend. "Got & steamboat to tow you back2'
 q am going to float it back" was the response.
 How are you going to do that? l don't understand"
 "I guess you don't know much about this river. It doubles on itself just be- low here and runs back to within less thar a quarter of a mile of my place. I've got landing on both, banks and teaa of horses that can drag the boat oyer from one landing to the other"

From the Seoul Press.

from t1e Seoul Press.
 An extraordinary event is reported from Sin Anju, a railway town in North Pyong-an province About noon when the tide was high villagers of Wangpong lA, Tonl1 kyon, in the Kasan district of the same province, were amazed to see big black object swimming in the River Tail yong, running near by
 They did not know what the monster was and watched it's movements with great excitement and interest. Soon after the monster sent up 9 column of water and disappeared.
 On the following day at about : o'clock Tomizo Tashiro, a Japanese railway lines man in service at Sin Anju station, while patroling the line was astonished to see a whale struggling to go down stream at point about five cho above the railway bridge on the Tailyons river It was low tide and the water having consider ably recedcd the river was only about five feet deep. The whale had evidently stranded on shallow place and was un- able to move.
 Tashiro was overjoyed to find the un- expected spoil and tried to kill il by firing at it with a fowling piece he was carry ing He fired a it IS times, but the whale seemed to be none the worse in conse- uuence. Tashiro concluded that it would not dc to try to kill it in that way, and running to the nearest village, collected several Koreans, told them of his find and each armed with an axe they returned to the spot.
 The whale was still there, the water having further receded. They rushed into the stream and by striking the monster on the head with the axes they at last succeeded in killing it. The whale was about 8 feet in length and was valued at about 1000 yen.

Q Popular Magazine

from the 1opuldI lhdSdnlhS'
 Robert O. Bailey, Assistant Secretary oi the Treasury, frequently shocks Washing ton, knocks it's traditions into the sem- blance of secondhand hat store and pounds it's precedents into pulp. First oi all, however, it is well to describe the national capital. Everybody there der ricks himself out of bed at 730 in the morning, takes a bath if he has time bolts his breakfast, gets to his office al 9 o'clock, gets out of it at 4:3O, and goes home to read the paper, with the object of getting to bed at Il o'clock. Wash ington is a city of quiet and routine. No body goes to his office before he has to and nobody stays there second longer than is necessary. Working for the gov ernment would be a soft thing if anybody got anything more than starvation wages out of it.
 But Bob is the boy with the remark able idea of working more than he has to Whenever he has ahead of him an unus- ualiy heavy days work he arises at ir the morning, and by o'clock is at lis desk.
