Hamlin referred to batch of letters
which the committee accepted from a
representative of the Spreckcls sugar
interests. These letters. stating the
condition Of the sugar business in
Europe, were not a true presentation
of the facts. the independent beet sug

dispute them, Hamlin asserted, was
denied by the committees action.

Especial Blu llctin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 9.-The
report Of the National Monetary Com
mission did not arouse much enthu-
siasm 1t recommended the plan
heretofore outlined in detail by EX-
Senator Aldrich. Some concessions
were made to the violent crltici m
that has greeted the completion of its
labors. The most important was that
the number of men who shall domin-
ate the reserve fund was largely in
creased, This was to remove the sic-
sestion that enormous power ami
wealth would be concentrated In the
hands of a few men. The other mo-
dihcations and changes were of minor
consequence.

Is estimated that about 81 per cent of
their whole coast line already has
been surveyed. The results of this
work are shown on a large number
of reliable charts prepared under the

Magnetic Observations.
In order to put the guiding compass
on the chart, the survey has to study
the laws governing the changes of
magnetic elements Besides sending
its observers over the whole country
from time to time, to observe the
changes in the magnetic declination
which have taken place, the survey
maintains magnetic observatories, at
which continuous record of the

that they are-should then decline to be candidate
for the chairmanship But that is unlikely to hap
pen. Mr.. Simmons may be expected to stand for his
rights" and get them if he can, at whatever cost
to the party.
The Democratic caucus can either yield to the
reactionaries, dump them overheard unceremonousy,
or compromise with them by letting them retain the
places to which they nave climbed, and then taking
away the excessive powers that chairmen have come
to WELD. This latter seems a most desirable pro-
cedure There is need in both houses for revision Of
the rules and traditions that make the chairmen so
powerful that they may in effect defy their COM
mittees. We saw the chairman Of the House Com
mttee on District Of Columbia, last session, mega
tive the will of the House. No man ought 10 be able
to do that. There is need to make the committees
the servants not the masters, Of the respective
houses; and this is excellent time for it to be

gentle, genial character in keeping
with the kindly nature Of the states
man and man.
1t is birds; of all things OF flesh
the closest kin to the thoughts of
poet ard philosopher. In the study
Of birds Mr.. Bryce has delighted to
spend his leisure hours, his recrea-
tive pleasures being made up OF long
excursions into birdland among the
books of the Congressional Library
when his own extensive shelves on
that subject failed to satisfy his
thirst for information.
Although the binding duties of his
high position prevented him from
studying the American birds at first
hand in the field or forest" said a
gentleman who had been fortunate
enough to discourse much with Mr.
Bryce on the subject, there are few
experts, even, in bird lore. who know
as much about our native birds as
this distinguished foreigner"

THE DISAPPEARING VOTERS.

Complete figures from New Jersey show that
$4,000 fewer votes were poed this Presidential eec
tion than polled in that State at the election
Wilson was elected governor Returns from Ken
lucky show loss of $4,000 votes from the total
polled in leO8 and the loss in Indiana is II 900
compared with the Presidential campaign of 1908.
Incomplete returns from other States indicate the
same conditions.
What is becoming of the voter? Are people
taking less interest in politics, or have the more
stringent election and registration laws plus the
increased vigilance Of enemies Of machine politics,
simply eliminated thousands of illegal votes which
hitherto have figured largely in returns?
will be interesting after all the States have made
their official returns to if the decrease in votes
occurred only in States where election laws have been
strengthened and enforced, or whether the condition
is universal and indicating growing indifference to
politics upon the part of the citizen.

Mr.. TAFT ON THE NEW SOUTH.

II was graceful act, gracefully performed tina,
Of Presidenv Taft in congratuating the South on
having come into full realization of its partnership
in the National Government. The Presidents ad-
dress to the Daughters of the Conederacy deserves
to be widely circulated and deeply appreciated by the
whole country. He pointed out, too, with a most
engaging candor of the reasons which Progress
sves have urged in favor of party and new
party name. After telling of the efforts of his own
and preceding Republican Administrations to do away
with sectional feeling based on the issues which
climaxed in the war between the States, he added
am free to admit that circumstances have rem
dered it difficult for Republican Administration
than for a Democratic Administration to give our
Southern brothers and sisters the feeling OF close re-
lationship and ownership in the Government OF the
United States.
AS between the Democratic party and the Repub-
can, without doubt the President is right. One Of
the greatest Of all the opportunities that will come to
President Wilson will be this of reunting the senti-
ment of the whole nation, and Of making the
divisions Of this country geographic only as Presi-
dent Taft stated it. 1t is task in which the wisdom
of the wisest men North and South alike will be
needed. There is uncertainty among Northern
people about the loyalty and patriotism Of the
Southern people The last traces of mutual sus-
picion have disappeared long ago, so far as such
essential things concerned. The task before the
Southern influences which are now assured OF DOM
mating the councils of the National Government is
different. The South must remove now the feeling
that its economic and social ideas are not big and
broad enough to be trusted with the conduct Of the
Government in behalf of the whole country, with its
diversified interests and widely varying activities and
resources. If the Southern statesmen shall prove
themselves as broad their opportunity, they will
write in history that the Wilson Administration
marked the end of all sentimental sectonalism.

A SENATOR BY CAUCUS.

Ex-Governor Draper of Massachusetts leads the
way in declaring openly for machine caucus of the
old-fashioned style as the method for choosing the
next United States Senator from the Bay State. The
ex-governor is downright frank and open in serving
notice that he has no use for such ideas as leaving
the choice to the people, and that he counts finding
q majority of the Republicans in the next Legislature
of Massachusetts, who will back him up in employing
all the old machinery until it is thrown on the scrap
heap.
There is this advantage to the State at large in
the lineup of reaconary candidates and their sup
port of reactionary methods: If they believe thai
the present unrest is temporary furry which will
soon pass away, and that it behooves what is left
of the Republican party to resist its demands with a
face of flint until the pendulum swings back again
they should, of course take this logical position
They will help those who think otherwise to see
just where they stand

HOME RULE FIGHT AT ITS CRISIS.

When the liberal government in Great Britain
received its last testimonial OF confidence at the hands
Of the electorate there seemed no doubt that the
home rule program would at last be enacted into law
1t was quite impossible to construe the last general
elections result otherwise than as a national recog
milton that the time for Irish autonomy in local af
fairs mad come. 1t seemed that, at last the senseless
British antagonism to tnat program had been worn
by the passage of time and the observation of the
satisfactory workings OF the federal system in many
countries, number Of them under the British flag.
Assuredy there is no sharper conflict of sentiment
or interest between Ireland and Britain than there
was very few years ago between some Of the
states that now make up the harmonious British fed
Grafton of South Africa. 1t is quite beyond under
standing that the imperial program should view with
satisfaction and approval the liberalization of Aus
tralia and the creation of Canada into a union Of
states, eacn with home rule and all united in the
Dominion administration, and yet continue forever
blind to the fact that home rule for Ireland is merely
application at home of this system under which
British republics have been established on both
tinens and both hemspheres.
Yet despite these seemingly obvious aspects Of
the matter it turns out that the Unoniss deter
mined to continue the same tactics of bitter opposi-
ton. Like our own sandpatters of few years ago,
now happily retired from the seats of power, these
British BourbonS are willing to admit anything except
an intelligent view of the facts before them. They
succeeded by dint of snap division in defeating, in
the commons, important amendment to the fiscal
plan of the home rule measure, and now, when the
government summoning its forces, undertakes to re-
consider and undo the HARM they turn the house into
Donnybrok fair, hurl missiles about the chamber
assault the leaders of the ministry, and announce
that they intend to adhere to program of riot until
business shall be made utterly impossible and an
appeal to the country unavoidable.
1t signifies nothing that in recent bye-electons
the liberal government has lost number of seats
That is the inevitable reaction from so sweeping
victory most recently brought the liberals back to
Ipower The fact stands that on no essential thing
nas the government been defeated in fair show OF
strength 1t is perfectly right in refusing to resign
and if, as is conceded, there is parliamentary prec-
edent for reconsdering snap vote and restoring
the provision that ma orty Of than 100 really
wants in the bill then it is time for precedent to be
created Plainly, the present home rule fight mas
reached its crisis and toryism is going to overlook
means however reactionary to defeat the measure
that in truth would add more of strength to the en-
pirs. at its very foundations, than any other.
