That was the language which q

War is barbarous," replied Mr. Bry
an None but insane people, ms@ld

too pcssimistic- We will have j ponce

Japan Is Watching.
retired hrigasirr general Of the
army and j captnn il tn" navy, who
have spent considerable time on the
Pacific coast are confident that Japan
is watching tlle Mexican situation With
the kcenest interest and that in case
the United States becomes involved
with Mexico the demands for Japanese
the ahroration nf the California alien
law, will be again urged and if neceS-
sary. with 4 show Of force Willie it
may be true that many nations Of the
world are for peace, There is no doubt
about the warlil1c attitude of Japan
Those people, according to the officers,
are full of fight.
Reason For lis Faith.
Congressman Hrnmbangh gave the
house reasons for his faith in the cur
gency bill. Tie said any Democrat
could we'll afford 10 waive al doubts
when the bill had the support of fOnr
most eminent, iilnstjjons ana trusted
Democratic leaders Of the nation
And then he showed that hc knew the
use OF adjectives in the following aIlu-
sion to the fonr:
"Our llustrions president who has
won and holds the respect and admira-
ton Of his col1ntryn1tn and the world
who has met and measured uD to ev-
cry delicate emergency with such great

.The great speaker Of this house,
grand old Democratic Champ Clark,
whose name has been Il synonym for
Democracy for twenty-five years and
whose white plume like that Of Henry

Of battle wherever Democratic battles
are waged.

man on whose intellectual brow the
fires Of genius brilliantly burn and Of
whom l can fittingly paraphrase Hal
leck's lines, None knew him but to
love him; none named hin, but to
praise Z
You can't beat that, not i'll hurry.
Not Fair Divide.
Congressman Humphrey was trying
to get something for Seattle in the
public building way when Jerry Dono
van broke in. IF there is one state"
be said. that has had its share Of
pork it is Washington. The last con
gress gave Washington S3.S36OOO, and
it gave Connecticut beggarly $500.
600"
The President Learning.
Gradually the president is acquiring
knowledge Of congressional procedure.
He expected that tariff and currency
would have been out of the way long
before this time, that he would have
had several weeks III New Hampshire
and would now be on his way to Pana-
ma. But he has given up quite q mum
Der of anticipated pleasures as con
gress plodded slowly on its way.
Then he came back from a week end
in New Hampshire SO as to be ready
to sign the tariff bill as soon as the
conferees agreed. The conferees did
not agree as speedily as be expected,
and then there developed debate in the
senate. The president found that de-
bate can be as protracted on a confer
snce report as anything else in the
great deliberatiye body.
Not Strange Want.
1t is announced that both political
campaign committees are in need Of
In fact. the want is proclaim
ed as something vital and as if it was
something new Was there ever a
campaign committee that did not want
money7
