The Chaplain's Prayer.

Washington National Tribune
Senator Martin of Virginia intro
duced a resolution providing that
the prayers delivered by Chaplain
N G. B. Pierce during the past two
years be printed as a Senate docu-
ment, and the Senate voted it down

few of the members ever heard the
prayers spoken he doubted their
value at literature, as members who
would not listen certainly would moi
read them.

j. p Morgan Dead.

The Louisiana Democrat, pub
lished at Alexandria, Rapides Par
ish, in commenting editorially on
-. p. Morgan Dead" says:
WAS J. p. Morgan benefactOr of
the human race, in any sense of the
term? We're any portion, even a
tithe, of his millions ever devoted
to charity? Was he ever known to
relieve human suffering and desii-
tuition, even in an infinitesimal de-
gree? If so, it has never been chrOn-
icled to his credit. Why then should
his mortal remains be accorded spe-
cial consideration, distinguished
honor and superior privileges?
us the world any better for his
having lived in it? We opine not.
Why then should Secretary of State
Bryan issue an order placing the
American Embassy at Rome at the
disposal of his family and friends,
where his body is to lie in State, .un-
til arrangements can be perfected
for transportation to the United
States? Would the same measure
of consideration have been shown
to any other American citizen, oi
limited means and in an humber
sphere of life, who happened to
to shuttle off this mortal coli in
ROme?"
The Louisiana Democrat should
be reminded that any other Ameri-
can citizen "of limited means" coulC
not have attained the nOtOriety ac-
corded to J. P. Morgan. This is tho
age Of snObbery, when the individ-
ual, regardless of his manly worth
lis gauged by the standard of tho
dollar.

Washington Ordinance Violated b,
the President.

It is reported from Washington
that President Wilson Sunday un-
Willingly violated the new traffic
regulations of the national capital
which provide that persons shall
not cross the streets except at cor
ners. The President was walking
with Secretary Tumulty, and when
they reached Pennsylvania avenue
they cut across diagonafly toward
the White House. One of the police
men near the White House informed
them of their error.
The President had paid his first
call at a residence in Washington.
He dropped in on Secretary Tum-
ulty and chatted with the family be-
fore going downtown.

"LOuisianians Fling Uultimatum te
Wilson,

"L0uisianians Fling Uultimatum to
Wilson,"
This is the headline across the
New Orleans States of Monday
April I, 1913.
Are the Louisianians in Congress
in the position to fling their ulti-
matum to Wilson?
Indeed this is ridiculous.
And equally nonsensical is the
declaration of Sol Wexler, vice pres
ident of the Whitney-Ce Central Bank
of New Orleans: president Wilson
will be compelled to recede from his
attitude on sugar."
And: Louisiana Senators fighting
for sugar."
Let 'em fight. In the end sugar
will receive the treatment it de-
serves at the hands of Congress.
II would seem to be the limit OF
presumption, if not of arrogance
for any one having an interest il
sugar to attempt to dictate wha'
course the President shall pursue.
Fortunately President Wilson viii
not be intimidated by the "ulti.
matum" Of the sugar interests.

Drowned i'm Black BAYOU.

Last Saturday Dan Thomas, a
worker in the oil field, was drowned
accidentally in Black Bayou by the
ovcrturning of boat in which he
was seated. His dog on shore, col
lie, on seeing his master struggling
in the water, barked furiously,
which attracted the attention of
men nearby. The rescuers came too
late, but the body was recovered
soon after the accident.

THE NEW SENATE.
The Democrats Have q Clear Major
ity Of Six.

The National Tribune, Washing
ton, ID. c.: There is period of out
ward calm as far as senator's are
concerned, and yet murmurings. In
legislative ways preparations &c
ahead, and it is recognized that the
Senate is to be the important body
of Congress for quite a while. High
Chairmen on the Democratic side,
who have been away for little, arc
now returning to town and taking
up their stations. A number of eX-
senator's too are tarrying in town
and this stimulates exchange OF
opinions about things that are and
are likely to be.
The murmurings are much about
the patronage. Petty, comparatively,
though that may be, it is of great
importance to senator's, because
their workers and lieutenants at
home want places. And ability to get
places is the standard in many To-
calities of senator's influence at
Washington. This is not as much so
as it used to be. Within their own
jurisdiction the Democratic SEN
atOrs have made a pretty clean
sweep. They have turned out almost
every man it was possible for them
to turn out. This extends to numcr-
GUS. Senate clerkships, some OF
which pay as much as $500 year,
for approximately eight or ten
months services

''Spugs" Make Plans for
Nationwide Campaign

New York-A countrywide appeal
for the abolition of the useless Christ
mas gift and plea for intelligent
and thoughtful giving instead were
voiced by Mrs. August Belmont, pres
ident of the Spugs, at the opening
meeting of the 1913 campaign to be
waged by that organization against in
sincerity, compulsion, and waste in
Christmas giving.
At this meeting the membership
rolls of the Spugs-the Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving
were thrown open to all residents Of
the United States who might want to
enroll against the foolish Christmas
gift.
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman presided
at the meeting. Mrs. Belmont was
the orator. The original purpose Of
the society, she said, was to prevent
compulsory giving by girls in stores
and factories to their employers, the
custom of collective giving, which the
girls felt they could not afford, but
which they could not avoid without
embarrassment and positive loss of
their positions.

Chehalis.-N. B. Coffman, president
of the Southwest Washington Settlers
Agency. and Secretary Larsen OF this
city, held conference this week in
Chehalis with /. V. Van Zanten on a
colonization scheme, which it is hoped
will be successfully worked out to the
advantage of southwest Washington
and western Oregon.
Mr.. Van Zanten, who is from Hol-
land, proposes to secure on long time
thousands Of acres of logged-off lands
in the sections named for use in set
thing colonies of Hollanders. Mr.. Van
Zanten is a retired merchant and a
man of considerable wealth. He has
visited different portions Of the Unit
ed States and Canada, where immigra-
ton and colonization plans are being
exploited and has satisfied himself
fully that this section Of the Pacific
northwest is better suited to his pur-
pose than any other. Near Lynden,
Whatcom county, Washington, there
is a prosperous Holland colony.
Mr.. Van Zanten desires to secure
options eventually on 100000 acres.
which he plans to settle gradually.
Under Mr.. Van Zanten's plan he
would settle 1900 acres Of land the

Hill Lines To Build
Big Docks at Astoria

To accommodate the two mighty
steamers that will ply between Astoria
and San Francisco after January 1,
1915, the Hill railway interests plan
some extensive improvements at AS
toria that will put that city distinctly
on the map, and at the same time
make Portland greater seaport than
ever.
According to the plans for the
steamship line, as announced yester-
day by James J. Hill in his speech
before the Portland Transportation
club, these ships will be the finest
that modern marine engineers can de-
sign. To take care of the 525 feet of
their length, great docks will have to
be constructed. To reach the dock
to transfer thereto the loads of pas
sengers and freight, new tracks must
be laid. To load the vessels with the
down coast cargoes, great derricks
and cranes must be erected.
It was stated at the office of Presi-
dent Joseph H. Young Of the North
Bank this morning that these improve
ments will not be undertaken for sew
eral months,

Mountain Trail Open
Through To Mt. Adams

Chehalis.-The governments new
trail from the Cowlitz river valley
headwaters by way of Skate Greek
and Lewis to Mount Adams has been
completed. This now affords an easy
and comfortable passage way by foot
or horseback from Longmire Springs,
the well-known resort, down the Skate
creek to the upper Big Bottom GUN
| try, thence to Adams, a trip which
can be made in two days and half.
From Lewis other trails lead in diff
ferent directions. One heads for Cow
litz pass and the hot springs near by.
This trail may be taken il one wishes
to cross the Cascades into eastern
Washington.
It is planned by the federal govern
ment to build a road that will be pass
able for automobiles from Longmire
Springs down Skate Greek to Lewis,
which would put Packwood Lake, the
most remarkable fishing resort in
southwest Washington, within seven
miles of the automobile road end.

Washington Logged-of
Lands TO Be Settled

first year, 1000 acres the second and
$4,000 acres the third year, with q
4O-acre limit for each settler.
Under the plan proposed Mr.. Van
Zanten believes that by working set
Element onto the more desirable lands
of the river bottoms and developing
them, later settlement of the uplands
would be comparatively easy. The
purpose in way has an element OF
philanthropy in it, for with the in
tensely crowded condition in Holland
there must be q chance for expansion
and where the increase may be com
fortably cared for so that they can
make homes for themselves and live
in comfort. There is no question but
that the Hollanders who would come
to this country would make good.
Secretary Lewis, Of the Settlers
Agency, attended a big meeting OF
representative owners of large tracts
of logged-off lands held in HoQuiam
last night, and there seemed to be q
strong disposition to take the matter
up actively. II the plans are carried
out Mr.. Van Zanten proposes to bring
his first colony into the northwest
next year, approximately 80 families
to be the first delegation.
