Enthusiasm characterized the discussion of President Roosevelt's recent mosaic on tin; floor of tlic house of Representatives last week, and at no time was the applause greater than when Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, delivered a Itrong eulogy of the President From the Democratic side came en thusiastic commendation and sel dom has such a tribute been paid to a Republican President by a Democrat as that spoken by Repre tentative Bourke Cockran. During the course of his speech he took oc casion to say some nice things about Mr. Bryan which evoked such applause from the Democrat that it was quite awhile before he could proceed. If Mr. lirvan represents the determination to pro secute malefactors for their crimes, and if a rigorous enforcement of the law should result in congesting tbe criminal courts, said Mr Cockran, "then the plunderers of millions will be given precedence in the pathway to prison over the pilferers of pennies." Later in the week the Democrat ic leader, Mr. Williams, made a speech on the message along lines previously indicated to linn by Mr. Bryan. He declared that railroad rate legislation originated with the Democrats; said that the Democrats must take isue with the President on his recommendation that the railroads be granted the power to pool, and with the President s ar gunient that it was useless to at tempt to punish "the men, the flesh, the blessings," who violate the law in the name of corporate authority. He further insisted that ' the Democrats could not agree with the President on the proposition to compel all corporations doing an interstate ousmess to take out a Federal license. Commenting on the omissions 111 the message, Mr. Williams emphasized the lack of definite tariff revision recomnienda tions, saying, "with the exception of a little insignificant utterance about putting works of art, wood pulp and paper on the free list, he has never raised his voice against the very poison that lies at the very heart of your entire system. There is no little anxiety in Democratic circles in Washington - over the reports which have reach ed here from the West to the effect -that William R. Hearst is perfect ing an organization and proposed to hold a Hearst League conveu tion, probably in Indianapolis, be tween the Republican and Demo cratic national conventions. It is asserted that Mr. Hearst has secur ed the services of Charles A. Walsh, ormer Secretary of the Democratic National Committee, aud that Mr. Walsh has employed a number of able lieutenants who are assisting aim in the work of organizing the Hearst machine, or party. No de 'finite information can be secured is to the purpose of the Hearst movement. Does Mr. Hearst ex pect to form a third party and nominate himself for the Presi dency? Does he expect to develop a strength which will enable him to dictate terms to the Democratic party? Will his movement detract eriously from the Democratic vote? These and a hostot other questions are being asked by anxious Demo crats who cannot fathom the pur poses of the great editor-politician. It had been supposed that because of his extensive .newspaper proper .ies Mr. Hearst would not dare to oppose Mr. Bryan and that may be the case, but his present purpose is DR.

Senator Stone of Missouri has been making an earnest effort to or ganize the Democrats in the Senate so that they might present an ef fective resistence to the Aldrich fi nancial bill but lie has been check mated by the presisteut opposition of Senators Bailey and Teller and there is every prospect that the majority will have to contend itself with offering a few amendments which might improve the measure, seeing them voted down by the Republicans and then permitting the bill to pass the Senate. Nor is it likely that any effective opposi tian can be presented in the House. There are doubtless a majority of the members of the House who arc opposed to the bill but the Speaker is for it and he rules the lower chamber. Mr. Cannon is himself a banker and a millionaire and he regards the Aldrich bill as satis factory. If its exponents in the Republican ranks threaten to show their independence there will be a caucus and every Republican will be whipped into the line under the scourge of tbe party whip. V Speaker Cannon is much worried these days because of the fact that ihere are certain magazine writers who have been sent to Washington to scrutinize his political record with a view to ascertaining wheth er he is a fit man to be elected President. It is whispered about the cloakrooms and lobbies of the Capitol that there are some pages in the political life of the Speaker which would not look well in print and some of Mr. Cannon's closest friends say that the old and hag gard look he has worn recently are due to the fact that he has been told that the "muck rakers" are close on the trail of certain pages of the 'Record he would be ex tremely sorry to see in print. How ever, that is all political gossip. V Mr. Cannon has assured the dele gation of the National Manufactur ers' Association that there will be no tariff commission created this year. Of course the Speaker is the "stand pat" candidate of the Kepublicans, but it is regarded as a safe prediction that should either Mr. Bryan or Mr. Taft be elected, the President would call a special icvisiuu eariy in 1909.

Renting a Newspaper. London, May 4. "Have you any thing like that in America?" the news dealer demanded, putting his flngur on a line on his billhead which rc:ul, "Times to lend for hire." "What does that mean?" queried the American. "Why, it means I have some cus tomers who instead of buying tho London Times of me every morning, rent it from me. You see, the paper comes pretty high threepence a copy and there's some that wants to read It who really can't afford to pay that price for a morning paper. Three pence, you know, is equal to about C cents American money." "And you rent it for how much?" "Three ha'pence Just half the price the paper sells for." "How long may the renter kaep the paper?" "l?p to 12 o'clock noou." "What happeus to the paper tVn?" "Oh, I rent it to somebody else for another throe or four hours and charge him a penny. And along to ward evening I sell tho paper if pos sible for another penny. Hut it really Isn't a very good business specula tion. I only do it to oblige custom er who buy other papers from me. 1 make my prollts on the papers thoy buy." "But how Is It persons are willing to give you a ha'penny more for the use of The Times for a few hours than they pay for the other morning papers which they buy outright?" "It's because The London Times Is looked upon as the most reliable pa per in England. It is one of the insti tutions of the country. People set a store by Its opinions, and its stamp on a news item Is like the hall mark on a bit of Jewelry." "And la this practice of renting Tho London Times peculiar to this shop?" "Most all the newsdealers do it. It really Is a part of the business." Must Guarantee to Return.

Charles F. Sautier, an apothecary, who resides at Hay Hldgo, New York, has invented a unique boot, to be pro pelled by an automobile, for the trans portation of which on water the craft is constructed. So far only a working model of the peculiar craft has been constructed but Mr. Sautter has erected on his grounds at Hay Kldge a new house, with a tank, in which a full sized boat to aecommodato his family runabout can be floated for experimental pur poses. With a boat three times as long and not morn than twice as wide as his automobile, Mr. Sautter expects to transport his car on wr.ter, sitting in his seat on tho automobile and steer ing and propelling the boat by simply operating the motor and tho steering lever of tho car. The invention con sists only of a boat with a collapsible deck, which for the purposo of taking the car aboard temporarily becomes a gang-plank with one end resting ou a dock, a river bank or e'en a sandy beach. The automobile having been run on the boat, its rear tires rest on friction rollers connected by a simple bevelled gear with the propeller shaft of tne boat. A3 the wheels rest on tho roller with inelr entire weight and that of tho car thoy were designed to support, when they are revolved tho roller 'will, of course, turn in tho op posite direction and revolve the pro peller. That is what Mr. Sautter says will happen, and there seems to be no prohibition in the laws of mechanics of such a performance. Meanwhile the front axle spindles of the automo bilye have been securely fastened to the steering gear of the boat In such a way that changing their direction, as in steering tho car, will also change the slant of the rudder. Mr. Sautter and his friends will then resume their seats in the car, will turn in the gang plank, wnich win again become a por tion of me dock of the boat, will start the motor of tho car and will, if all Is well and there have been no miscal culations, sail serenely away in a boat carrying the automobile In return for the motive power contributed as its share of ue partnership.
