Selected.

Washington, Feb. 19,-The demonstra-
tion in the House over the Pujo money
trust resolution which was forecast for
Saturday, did not materialize and it is
now said that it will surely have an
airing to-day when the resolution, ac-
eording to present plans, is to be TAX
en- up in earnest. Chairman Henry
breathes still with dstended nostrils.
Perhaps by this afternoon, the paeify-
ing Democrats may have succeeded in
smoothing down the rufiled spirits in
their ranks Mr. Underwood is Won
derful peace agent. At all events, what
ever is to happen in the line of storm
ia to terminate in nothing other than
the passing Of the Pujo resolution by
substantial vote and the investiga-
tioii of the money trust will from that
time go on, but in a safe and sane
way, and not with the pyrotechnies and
tail-twisting Mr.. Henry would like to
provide. The House Saturday with ease
passed the war claims bill, in the main
southern measure. Representative
Weeks sought to have the bill include
the spolation claims in which New Eng
land is greatly interested, but these
went out on a point of order, it be-
ing contended that the amendments were
not germane TO the bill. The Senate
is usually disposed TO tack on these
claims to claim bills and then the House
demurs and no claims bill is passed at
all. -.

he will appoint to the supreme court,
but it is a secret. The nomination is
to go to the Senate to-day unless the
president again changes his mind. The
president has been persuaded to put
paddock on his mouth until the nomina-
tion has been actually sent to the SEN
ate and he has sealed the lips of those
to whom he has revealed his choice
The president has been advised that in
this way only can he keep out of fur
Their trouble in connection with the NOM
inution.
The La Toilette headquarters emphati-
cally denied Saturday that Representa-
tive Mckinley, manager of the Taft
was financing the La Fol.
lette headquarters now. Reports to that |
effect have been current during the
past week and at last have found their
way in print. 1t was also denied that
Clifford Pinchot had asked to see Sem
ator La Toilette and had been denied
audience with no mean intensity and
that the senator had included Medil |
Mccormick among those whom he did |
not want to see. Washington wanted
to believe the story and said it ought |
to be true.
Senator Penrose, chairman Of the f. |
nance committee of the Senate. ex- |
pressed the belief Saturday that all the |
tariff bills that viii be sent over by |
the House TO the Senate would reach |
a vote in the Senate but that on each |
there would be vigorous debate. That |
should mean long session.
Representative Mccall, who has lust |
from stay of some DAYS in |
reports that he discovered |
IN astonishing amount of Taft senti-
ment in the STATEN fact it seemed |
10 him all Taft, whereas he had been
ed to expect that Minnesota was alto
yether anti-Taft. The congressman said
ne has come to believe that the anti
Taft sentiment is always in the next
county. One hears from those who have
cad what Col. Roosevelt is going to say
It Columbus, O., that what he will say
> quite in accord with what liberal
'rogressives approve of, excepting in his
advocacy of the judicial recall. Over
his, some of them make a very wry
ace.
