POOR OLD CONGRESS
IS FORCED TO WORK
Summer and Winter, Terrible,
Crushing Grind Of Industry
Holds Them Here.

Congress has about resigned itself.
sadly and reluctantly, to the idea that
II is going to have to spend almost all
its time In Washington from now on.
1t seems to be becoming more and more
the fixed policy for the legislative ses-
sons to be well-nigh continuous.
The country is demanding much In
the way Of legislation. 1t doesn't pay
much attention to whether a Congress
man has to swelter in Washington in
summer or whether he disiikes the cli-
mate in winter.
He is sent here to serve the public
at $500 year with certain perquisites
and the public seems to be unfeelins
enough to want him to earn it. Wheth-
er the average member does earn that
sum might be a subject Of argument.

SWIMMING TO WORK
|SLATEST METHOD
Campers on Virginia Shore
Find That Exercise Gives
Them Lots of "Pep."

The newest way to go to work is to
swim.
Walking down town to work is an
''old story" Many men able to afford
limousines or street cars walk down
town for exercise and walk home, too.
among these National Capital pedestri-
ans being Admiral George Dewey, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Sher-
man Allen. DR.. William Ttndall. secre-
tary of the Board of Commissioners;
Congressman Thetus Sims and C. C.
Glover. the banker.
But use of Shank's mare is conven-
tional. 1t lacks the SAVIOR of novelty
and the tang of distinction, according
to a dozen young men who live during
the summer in camps on the Virginia
side of the river above the Acqueduct
bridge. They are swimming to work
several days a week, one or two SWIM
ming down every day.
The Plot.
This is the way they work It. That
is to say, this is the way they avoid
appearing in the executive departments
of the Government or the Southern
Railway offices in dripping bathing
suits:
At an hour when dweIlers in the hot
city are restlessly turning over for
forty or 400 winks more. these blithe
spirits and active bodies get into bath
ing suits, taking headers into the
Potomac and strike out diagonally for
the District shore,
When they have swum down about
mile and a half they land at the
Potomac Canoe Club. the Washington
Canoe Club or Dempsey's boathouse
and dress. Coming back in the after
noon. they shift back to bathing suits.
which have dried out during the day,
and paddle back to their respective
camps. II they do not happen to have
their own canoes at the boat clubs, but
have left them at the camps, they can
easily get a lift in the canoe of some
other camper setting out for his sum-
mer home.
Others Do 1t.
The young men who are getting to
Washington in this way include G. r.
Dickson. Reginald Rutherford, r. d.
Burbank. R. Moore, Harold Nash.
Charles Nash, J. Hamilton. S. Shrieve.
]. Burch, G. Anthony, A. P. Starr, and
s. Melick. Others in the numerous
camps on the Virginia side are doing
It, too, but those named are the regu-
lar swimmers to work.
ut Is a good way to start the day."
say these young men. "One gets on the
job with more vim and pep than those
who come down jostled and crowded
all the way in a street car. OF course,
we take the cars at Thirty-sixth and M, :.
but We do not have to ride all the
way
How much time these swimmers take
depends on the location of their camp.
From a point one mile and a half above
the bridge, one of the swimmers, G. r.
Dickson. made the Dempsey boathouse
in twenty-eight minutes.

Taft called Congress in extra session
for the purpose Of passing tarIn bill
which turned out to be the fateful
Payne-Aldrich measure, Congress has
been In Washington more than two
thirds Of the time. 1t was here about
two-thirds Of the time In the Taft Ad-
ministration and the indications are
that II will be here as large q pro-
portion Of the time. II not more. In the
Wilson Administration. The present
SPECIAL session. with the currency re-
in addition to tariff. promises to DRAG
far into the fall and last much longer
than either Of the special sessions of the
Taft Administration.
President Taft's extra session lasted
IA days. The second extra session IN
reciprocity was up. lasted 1H days,
from April to August %. 1911
Will Be Longer.
The present extra session oegan April
Z and there Is no doubt II will last
longer than either Of the extra sessions
of the Taft Administration.
II the belief of many that currency
will lengthen the session until October
or November proves correct. II may
stretch out to one Of the longest ses-
sions on record and may even run
into the regular session
II might be argued that once the
tariff is. revised and currency fegisla-
tion passed. Congress would be here
little. and would settle
back to its old slo~-going pece.
However. there IL no assurance that
the tariff will stay settled and besides,
there are dozens of other great uues-
tions pressing on Congress for action.

ly stated that Barton village with it's
public utilities was destined to be one
of the richest municipalities in the
state. This is true. We have water
system easily worth $25, 900 dollars and
it is practically paid for. Our electric
plant is worth $40. 600 Or $25, 900 more
today than we have invested in it.
This years showing in the electric de-
partment would indicate that in the
course of 10 years we may reasonably
expect that debt nearly wiped out.
When such time arrives the revenue
from these two municipal plants would
nearly if not quite pay the running ex
pense of the village with little or no
tax The amount of Indebtedness is not
essential. What's behind the indebted
ness is the essential feature. Barton
might sell her public utilities today, pay
her debts and have $50, 900 or $40, 900 in
the bank. But who wants to do it?
The article in our warning to see if
the village will vote to sell the electric
plant seems utterly foolish Now that
the plant is on good paying basis it
seems more foolish than ever before.
The Monitor urges every citizen to
study the reports, read the recon-
mendation of the trustees and go to
the meeting determined to do his duty
as he sees it.

transaction having been consummat-

which formerly belonged to the Nc
CURE company will be added to the Cit
liens list of subscribers and the busi-
ness will be handled through the Hard
wick exchange. It was reported more

ket for the stone outside Barton and
both the local and foreign trade can
undoubtedly be built up to large dimen-
sions with proper quarrying facilities.
The Barton quarries stand ready to in
stall 20 horsepower motor, or larger.
and Mr.. Fisk Is horsepower motor as
soon as the line is built, and there are
good prospects of other users in the
near future.
This resource appears to be the only
one Barton can depend upon eor COM

reasonable expectations of making the
extension pay it would seem like a
good business proposition for the viii

the industry at the quarrles and thus
extend the cutting business in the in

tension is conservatively estimated at
$25OO.

THAT AGRICULTURAL MEETING

The meeting in Seaver's hall Thurs
day evening under the auspices of the
Barton Agricultural association was
well attended, although not so many
farmers were out as was hoped for.
However besides farmers from Barton
were few from Glover and Westmore.
The Schubert club of Barton furnished
excellent music and the speakers pre-
Sented some interesting facts about
the needs of the farmers and the pur-
pose and workings of the county agri-
cultural advisor as proposed in this
county. Frank Pariin presided and
presented c. w. Richmond of Newport
who explained the whole proposition
and told of the part the Newport
Board of Trade had in starting the
movement. He said the board of trade
had no interest in the movement ex-
a county organization could be perfect
ed with every town represented, the
whole thing was in the hands Of the
county organization.
The second speaker was NJ. S. Down
ing Of Wallis agricultural school of
LyndOnville Mr. Downing told more
in detail what the county advisor could
and would do, such as analyZing soils.
testing fertilizers, organizing cow test
ing associations, recommending crop
rotations, balanced feeding rati"ns, as
sisting marketing products, help estab-
lish better methods OF bookkeeping,
demonstrate pruning and spraying,
give expert information about the ex-
termination of troublesome weeds and
hundred other things.
H. J. Stannard spoke Of the close con-
nection of our schools with the awak-
ened agricul tural interest and hoped to
see the system Of education more
closely allied with the problem Of keep
ing the boys on the farm. M. M. Tap
lin of Orleans spoke in spirited man
ner of the needs of better methods in
our agricultural life and especially glo
ried in the fact that good roads, bet.
ter schools and more profitable farming
would solve our rural problems. Wal
| lace H. Gilpin gave some statistics
about the investment and production
of the farmers of Orleans county. Al
