KING Of ALL THE 7UBERs

our frst parents as the oyerlord OF al

may be definitely traced to the foste
care Of Raleigh. 1t spread into Ian
cashlre, its path through the Low
countries may be followed as clearly
as the march Of the army worm. Bu
the genealogy Of the yam is lost in the
morning mists Of antiquity. 1t Is sup
posed TO be identical with the man

dug as Tor hidden treasure. Beyone

which the Spanish gave what after

potato" Its purple flowers were hail
ed as the harbingers Of natures rich

doubling whether nature originally
had anything to do with the creation
Of the Irish potato. It Is the suecu-
lent root TO which loving illusions are

SENATE ADJOURNS
AFTER A SESSION OF
TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES

The Senate adjourned it's first session
after but twenty-five minutes of work,
out of respect for the memory of V ice
burn and Rayner, who had died during
the congressional recess.
AS the Senate roll call concluded, show
ing a quorum present, Senator Gallinger
offered a resolution. directing the secre-
tary to inform the House that the Senate
was prepared for work. The adoption of
this was followed by the presentation by
Senator Cullom of the customary resolu-
ton to appoint members of the joint COM
mittee to notify the President that Con-
gress had assembled.
Senators Cullom and Martin were
named by Mr. Bacon to act as the dele
gates from the Senate.
Senator Lodge followed with a motion
that the Senate meet tomorrow at II
o'clock. This was adopted without de-
bate, the purpose being to give time for
the reading of President Taft's message
before the hour set for the converting
of the Archibald court Of Impeachment
at 1890 o'clock.
Following the brief work of orsaniza-
ton. Senator Root of New York gave
the Senate the formal notification
of the death of Vice President Sher-
man.
1t is with d deep sense of personal
loss that l rise to make the announce
ment of the death the 30th of October
of James Schoolcraft Sherman. Vice
President of the United States" said
Senator Root
His serene and cheerful tempera-
ment, inspired by love of country and
of his kind, will no more diffuse through
this body the sense Of reasonableness

NATION MOST LAWLESS
IN WORLD, SAYS WOOD
General Declares Lack of Military
Training in the United
States Is Cause.

PHILADELPHIA. December q MAI.
Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of STAFF OF
the United States Army, at the one hum
dred and sixty-third annual dinner of the
ST. Andrews Society of Philadelphia, said
the United States is the most lawless ma
ton in the world because its citizens
lack military training.
He again asserted that the United
States Is unprepared for war and is not
i'm a position to defend itself against an
attack of first-class world power.
Five times as many men commit muir
der in the United States as in England"
said Gen. Wood, land eight times as
many as in Switzerland. where military
service is demanded OF every citizen. Be-
cause of this lack of military training
there is not bred in the people a respect
of law.
1--WE do not want q standing army, but
We must perfect some system Of short
enlistment for every able-bodied citizen,
to prepare him to take his place in the
army and to train him to obey the law.
1--WE have never had war with a
first-class power | am not impugning
our capacity, but no unprepared nation
can successfully fight a million citizens
trained to military tactics without serious
danger and severe losses.

RE|TERATES IT'S OPINION
United States Supreme Court
Holds Kansas Corporation
Law Unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
today reiterated its opinion that the Kan
sas corporation law. closing Kansas
state courts to foreign corporations with
out a certificate to do business in the
state, was unconstitutional. Two years
ago the law was declared unconstitutional
by the court as a burden on Interstate
commerce. This year it was contended
in another case that it was not uncon-
stitutional as to foreign corporations
seeking to enforce in Kansas judgments
obtained in other states.
The point arose in the suit of the
Bucks Stove and Range Company and
other corporations to subject the ranch
of P. B. Maxson Of Saline county, Kan,
to satisfying a judgment against c. c..
Vickers of Texas.

few days begin consideration of the
first of the fifteen annual appropriations
to be passed this session. and the work
on the supply bills will be practically con-
tinuous until March H.
