Senator'S Make Statements.
Arising TO a question OF personal
privilege in the senate this morning,
Senator Robertson remarked that a
little fun occasionally, does not hurt
anyone, and read The following:
A small boy in the visitors gallery
was watching the proceedings Of the
Sonate chamber.
Father, who is that gentleman?
he asked, pointing to the chaplain.
THAT, my son, Is the chaplain,
replied the father.
Does hc pray for the Senator's ~
asked the boy.
The father though a moment and
then said. NO, my son, he goes
in, he looks around and sees the Sen
ators sitting there, and then ne prays
for the country"
Senator'S Palmer and Handy also
arose to-a question Of personal priv
ilege and expressed their objection TO
an article that appeared in a morning
newspaper, which thny construed as
a reflection upon certain dOwn-State
residents.
Senator Bennett introduced a bin
amending the law which provides that
all funds from the income tax over
S250000 shall go 10 the state Highway
Department each year. Under the
amendment all the income tax, regard
less OF the amount, would go TO the
support OF the publii schools. The
present law provides for the FIRST
S250,OO0 TO go 10 the schools and the
remainder for roads but the amount
for the past two years has not been
more than S2J00O0. Under the grad

Rent Profiteer;ns in Manila.

Landlords, owners of residences and
business buildings in Manila, says the
Times of that city, are taking ad-
vantage of the paucity of home and
commercial structures to raise rents
abnormally. Workers for salaries or
wages, and firms and companies in
mercantile pursuits complain bitterly
of the demands Of the owners or
lessons of houses and stores, factories
and bodegas.
Most of the victims have to yield to
the increased rents because they have
no recourse. One man who paid $40
month for his small, uncomfortable
home, has been informed that he must
pay $50.
The Times has urged that the city
authorities establish a rental commits
sion to which lessees and d>renters who
believe they are being gouged can ap-
peal for adjustment. We have COM
missions for fixing rates for travel for
men. animals and freight How much

Plea FOR THE HEN
surely Poor Biddy Is Entitled to
Some Consideration.
Writer Points Out How Modern In.
ventions Have Made Her Work
Harder to Perform-Latest
Is the Airpiane.

There seems to be no rest in this
world for the busy and useful hen,
While devoting all her spare time to
the work of producing eggs for man
Kind to eat, she is obliged to put her
well and favorably known intellectual
processes to the task OF studying the
strange characteristics of those for
~hom the eggs are laid. Always with
anxiety, and often with fenr and trem-
ping and with accompanying cackling,
She watches the new devices which
man produces for her destruction.
Long ago, 1t seems now, she was
startled by that strange demon of the
road that man called u bicycle. When
1t came along she could never tell
which side of the road was the safer,
so she fluttered aimlessly and almost
without hope from one side to the
other.
In the course of time and with the
aid of experience, frequently painful
and sometimes fatal, she learned that
II was safer to stay where she was
than to try to dodge the thing. Then
came along that still more fearful con-
trivance, the automobile, to interfere
with her career and to interrupt the i'm
portant business of getting the eggs
laid. Many hen has lost her head
because of the automobile, while many
others merely lost their nerve. But the
automobile has become so frequent
sight upon the country roads that
the hen has generally come to regard
4 ,tttI, .tns, t,,.l
ence. She has practically ceased to be
frightened away from her steady job
of egg-laying, and goes about her bust
ness as usual, in spite of the smelling,
noisy, careless and uncertain devil
wagons.
But now comes along another terror.
Pro Bono Publico, famous citizen Of
every community, has written about 1t
to the Daily News of st. Johns, New
foundland. AS one who protested
against the bicycle nuisance 20 years
ago." he writes, 81 desire to join in
the present agitation to prevent mo-
torcars from using the public roads"
and he tells moving tale of the dis
comforts they cause and the trouble
they produce. But this is all prelim-
mary to his real complaint. That Is
directed against the airplane ocean
voyagers who have fiocked to New
foundland for the hop-off. OF these
he says:
81 also wish to voice a protest
against airplanes being allowed to fly
over the city, frightening our poultry,
and thereby Interfering with the sup
ply of eggs. so important during the
present shortage of food. This nuisance
is only Just beginning, and now is the
time to stop it before the airplane
becomes as great pest as the BIZ
cycle and the mOtorcar."
The hen is doing her best to perform
her duty to man and to keep up with
mans vagarles, but it is severe strain
on her intellect. If man wants her to
supply his table with eggs, he should
be more considerate.-Hartfor Cour-
ant.
