THE sPEAKERSHP CONTEST.

In the earlier days the speakership
1of the national house of representa-
tivcs did not have the importance it
has now acquired. Up to perhaps
twenty-five years ago the speaker had
little power. In those days the chief
complaint was that congress was in
active, The do nothing congress"
was a phrase heard over and over
again.
As the country grew and new prob
lens developed, the people wanted
things done. even IL mistakes were
made. They refused to tolerate legis-
lative lodging and inaction. The con-
grcssional rules were so modified as
to give. the speaker, working with the
rules committee, power to close de-
bate and expedite legislation. The mi
nority party under this regime has
usually referred to the speaker as a
A"cZar" But whichever party hap
pened to be in power has found ii
necessary to use this concentrated au-
thority in order to accomplish any
considerable legislative progress.
The greatest power ever welded by
the speakership was during the dicta-
torships of Reed and Cannon.
This tendency has in the main con-
tnued in the lower house. Many OBJ
servers say the house has ceased to be
a deliberative body. and that measures
are railroaded through with little con-
sideration. Yet the people will never
return to the days of endless filibust-
oring and dilatory motions and in
action.
The speaker has been shorn of some
OF his power, which has been turned
over TO the ways and means commit
tee But the position is one of such
commanding responsibility the coun-

MURRAY FEBRUARY 30 1911
uASIuNGToN's BIRTHDAY.

This day--February 22--is the an
adversary of the birth of George Wash
layton, justly honorcd as the Father
Of His County,
Washiastor was born 49, years ago
"a long time ago, as we Of America
measure time today But he was won
3orfulIy modern in his views, and it
L. doubtful if any man living since his
lime has more nearly grasped in their
full the great questions which con-
front the American people today.
Washington was opposed to slavery
and SLOWED his opposition to an in
stitution into which he was born a
slave owner by providing in his will
for the freedom of all his slaves and
for setting them M as farmers or IN
trades so that they could make IN
arpendent liyings. But he was prac-
lical enough to recognize the he could
not bring public sentiment on that
subject into harmony with his own
tiews. Also he foresaw in slavery
fho seeds of a mighty conflict between
Tire people who thought as he thought
and those who believed in the princi-
pie as well as the practice of slavery.
Washington saw clearly that no
ueopIc could forsalle the worship OF
God and Observance of His command
mcnts and persist for long. lie
Arusauely brushed aside the conten-
lion. then beginning to take root in
France particularly, that morality es~
scntial to human character, could
survive without religion.
Washington was a great warrior;
but his sword was always drawn on
be side of right. That he was a
great statesman we may Judge from
the fact that he was president of the
convention that framed the constitu-
tion of the United States and we have
it on the authority of the Madison
state Papers that his counsels were
valuable in framing practically every
provision Of that wonderful document
"a document that time has shown to
ne the wisest ever framed by man for
the government of people.
Today We are struggling with the
question of whether we shall find it
best for ourselves and for humanity
to disregard his warning against en-
tangling alliances with foreign ma
tons.
Never was there a time in which
study by school children. as well as
by our adult citizenship, of the life
and(character of Washington, of Ham
ilton, Of jefferson, of Franklin, and
of Lincoln. was so imperatively de-
manded as now.
Washington is a mighty figure ir
the history not only of this nation
but of mankind.

OIL BUSINESS IN
HOLBROOk FIELD
SHOWS NEW LIFE
With the Moderation of Cold
and Stormy Weather There
Promises to Be Big Increase
in Drilling Operations,

sPEcIAL coRRgsPoNpENce TO MORNING JousEALI
Holbrook, Ariz., Feb. 21.-With the
moderation of the very cold and
stormy weather which prevailed for
some weeks-and which can be truly
said to have been unusual for this sec
tion-there promises to be a great in
crease of activity in the HolbTook oil
field. Not only will the wells now go
ing down be able to do much work
at a less cost, hut at least four new
wells win be spudded in within the
next few weeks.
Senator Mayfield reports that the
fIop Oil company is making as good
progress as is possible in the hard
cross bedded CoConino sandstone
through which the drill is now pass
ing. 1t is expected that the Supai for
nation which is much softer and
easier drilling, will be entered soon,
and from then on progress will be
much faster The hole, which is be-
ing put down under the supervision
of George Hope, is in excellent shape
and is as straight as a string, Mr..
Hope is a brother-in-law of DR.. Rob-
eft r. Gregory of the United States
geological survey, whose work on
the geology of this section is consid-
cred standard.
The Adamana company now has
sufficient water at least for some
time, but the storms which furnished
this necessitated quito a little work
on the roads. This will soon be fin
ished and then there will he nothing
to interfere with the sinking of the
hole which Colonel Puffinburg, the
company's geologist, bell YES Will tap
an oil pool. The Adamana company
is differed by well known Arizona
men and practically all of its stock is
held in this state where the property
and men are best known.
George d. Meiklejohn, president of
the Holbrook Oil company, and for
mer lieutenant governor of Nebraska,
has returned and work on the derrick
for the companys first well will begin
at once. Muddy roads and storms have
held this back for a few days. This
we'll will be about three miles from
Hopi.

Apache Oil company, who has been IN
Los Angeles on business, has written
that he will return this week and
that things will move rapidly at the

the feeling that they will bring in a
good producer is general here.

Rt, Rev. Theodore ~ Morrison, who
today completes his twentieth year as
bishop of Iowa, is one of the best
known prelates of the Protestant
Episcopal church in America Prior
to his elevation to the bIshopric in
1899 he had served for more than
twenty years as rector of the fashion,
able church of the Epiphany, in Chi
cago. A native of ottawa, H., where
he was born in 1850, Bishop Morrison
received his academic training at the
Illinois college at Jacksonville. Fol-
lowing his graduation from that insti-
tuition in 1870 he attended the General
Theological Seminary in New York
In 1873 he was ordained a deacon and
three years later he received the full
