THE COLUMBIAN; BLOOMSBUnO. WASHINGTON From our Kcclr Correspondent. WashiiiKlon, D. C, April 13, 1908. The extraordirary position into which the Republicans in the House have been forced by the minority leader, Rep. John Sharp Williams, and the" lengths to which they are ready to go rather than respond to the President's recom mendations are the occasion of amazement not unmixed with amusement to every one who has been watching the recent course of events in Washington. The Speak er and his colleagues on the com mittee on Rules have not hesitated at anything and they have finally been forced to adopt rules which demonstrate as never before, the absolute autocracy which the Speaker enjoys and which so far eliminates roll calls as to relieve every Republican of the rcaponsi bility of his acts. The Republican leaders seem to liti-e realized the ridiculous attitude in which they were being placed by a minority of only 167 members, as against 223 Kemiblicans, and they have tried in every way possible to avoid the adoption of these stringent rules. but they were finally compelled to adopt them rather than run the risk of voting by name against measures which the President has recommended and which their con stituents demand: The President does not seem to lose heart at all because of the op position of his party to his policies and he is seriously considering the advisability of sending to Congress a special message protesting against tlu authorization of only two bat tleships when he had demanded four with not only authority to pre pare plans but to make contracts at once. Every member of the Naval Affairs committee voted against the President on this pro position except Rep. Hobson, who submitted a minority report and whose service in the navy, before he entered politics, has resulted in a loyalty to the floating portion of the military establishment which nothing can chill. The Republicans are greatly chagrinned over the defeat in the House committee on Postoffices of the Gallinger postal subvention bill, that being the euphonious name for this year's brand of the old ship-subsidy bill. The advo cates of the measure thought they had eyerything fixed . for a favor able report on the measure when Representative naggott ot ijoiora do "folded his tent like the Arab and as silently stole away" and the measure was laid on the committee table. The friends of the measure are not discouraged, however. They now propose to offer it as an amendment to the postoffice appro priation bill wheu that measure reaches the Senate and they believe that in this shape it will become a law. The Senate last week passed the army appropriation bill carrying a total appropriation of about $98, 000,000. This bill also provided the increase of pay for the officers and enlisted men of the army and the marine corps. The officers will receive increases varying from 10 to 25 per cent., the higher the grade the lower the increase, and the en listed men will receive an average increase of 25 per cent., as much as 50 per cent, additional being paid to men who enlist for the third time, or more. Democrats as well as Republicans voted for the in crease of the pay of the army for the cost of living has so generally increased that the pay table fixed nearly twenty years ago was by no means adequate to the expenses of officers and men, especially now that the foreign service entails so much expensive traveliug. .After the army bill was passed Senator Hale made his annual at tack on the cost of the military es tablishment, an attack which would command greater respect did not How's This?

Mr. Hale come forward each year and urge steadily increasing appro priations for the navy. Mr. Hale appears, this time, to have been misled by an article stating that Secretary Taft ad vocated an army of ' 25,000 men, although the arti cle was wholly unfounded, the Sec retary never having advocated this great increase which is the pet scheme of the General Staff. The antic of the anti-administration, anti-Taft Republicans are affording a good deal of amusement for their Democratic brethren. The anti-administration crowd has been breathing fire against Mr. Taft and declaring that under no circum stances could he be nominated. Steadily, however, the grounc. has been slipping from under their feet and the staunch supporters of many of them h u e abandoned their form er leaders to espouse the cause of the Secretary of War, or at least to secure comfortable seats not too far back on the big Secretary's band wagon. Now the anti-Taft crowd generally admits that the Secretary will be nominated but insists that he cannot be elected. 'Perhaps he cannot. Very possibly, in fact. Hut there is no question that he is the strongest man the Republicans have and that were they to nomi nate any other of the bright galaxy of stars the anti-administration crowd has been putting through their paces, it would mean a. walk over for William J. Bryan. Perjury Said to Bo Prevalent in the Court. The confession of perjury by two witnesses to an alleged will in our local courts, recently, observes the Scrauton Times, is only one incident of many noted at trials, as well as in the minor courts. The judges, the magistrates, the attorneys, and the newspapers have all noted the growth,of perjury, and the difficul ty of a jury to decide whether the plaintiff or defendant and their wit nesses are lying, so contradictory is the evidence. . Last week a New York judge said, "People seem to have lost their respect for the sanc tity of an oath and consider the solemn vow to tell the truth' but a panoply for the more effective de tail of matter for the side they wish to succeed. The time has arrived when something radical must be done to stem the torrent of perjury which is engulfing the efforts to ad minister justice in the courts of our community." Certain it is that perjury is alarmingly prevalent, as the judges referred to say, and that - , . . . . , j , 1 sonieming ougiu io uc uuuc iu courage .the practice. But , what? The question is not one to answer offhand and superficially. It in volves large and fundamental phas es of education, family life, , relig ious and social relations. Those who are advocating moral teaching in the schools would doubtless point to perjury as one of the grievous results of the neglect of such teaching. One thing, how ever, may safely be said. The whole atmosphere of our courts, as we have often said, is conducive to laxity and cynicism. If the pro ceedings were dignified, simple, businesslike; if lawyers were made to treat the court and each other tuSth 1m rpctwet' if rViMn rlisnlav T t k U V. U J . and buncombe were eliminated; if crime were promptly punished, wit-1 nesses of low moral standards would , undoubtedly conceive a wholesome fear of perjury and a due regard , for the sanctity of their oath. j FOR Neuralgia.

OnJrrrd Visitor Out of the Zw Though Tlmo nni not I'p. "All out! All out!"

At the entrance an elderly gentle man who was among the slghtseeri I eremptorily ordered from the prem ises, and who, after haiitlly consult Ing his watch, made no effort to ton oral hit annoyance, met Keeper Kta cey coming In. Addressing tU keeper, the visitor said, testily: "What kind of an institution li this, anyway? I thought you dldin close the Zoo to the public until lat In the day." "No more do we,' promptly do clured the surprised Stacy. VVherojpon the elderly gentleman. THE COMMANDING PATtUOT. reinforced by the other evicted vis itors, explained that they had Just been most unceremoniously ordured outdoors. Just then from a tier of cages di rectly behind his back was bawled ti e same commanding cry which had caused alt the trouble. Whirling about tho astonished keeper beheld a large pray parrct cocking his eye Inquiringly at the little group. . "There's the guilty chap," he an nounced, "but this Is the first time I ever knew he could talk." And sure enough, the parrot seeing he was discovered, soon opened up and nearly took the roof eff shouting "All out! All o:it! All out!" , Later ' tho ' assistant keeper who usually gives the Bignal for empty ing the bird house of visitors daily, explained that for several days tho Intelligent parrot, a recent acquisi tion to the Zoo, had made Ineffect ual attempts to Imitate his voice. Stucey's theory Is that the bird sud denly hit on the right combination, wltb the curious result described. Long DUtunco Piano Record. The world's record for continuous piano-playing has been broken by C. W. Healy, who commenced playing a piano at Prince's Court, Mel bourne, on a recent evening at 8 o'clock. Healy -played continuously until 10.30 at night on tho following Saturday evening a period of fifty and a halt hours and he has thus constituted a new record, the longest time before this having been forty eight and a half hours. D'iring the performance Healy sustained him self on beef tea and chocolate. Sitting on Ills Hut. I can vouch for the fact that many bats are still sat on. How, indeed, can a man who has juut put all his mental energy Into a peroration be expected to remember (hat his hat Is on the seat directly beneath him? Down he sits and with an explosive crackle converts what had once been tall and glossy Into the scmbl.mce of a half-closed concertina. Amid the more childlike Joys of the house there is no incident that can com pare with this. H. C. Lehmunn, Id. P., in Cussoll's Magazine. iles'Amtd- . 4. ' ! "ZJ Jurors for May Court.

(From Leslie's We -kly.) The wonderful truth of immor tality, impressed at Kastcr, gives the highest possible motive for faithful Christian life and service Impelled by the fact of immortali ty,' wise men live as they ought to live, for life goes on lorever and the future is the harvest of the present. They realize that the eternal years of God belong to truth, justice, and righteousness. The light of immortality shines on and unravels all the apparently hopeless entanglements of earth and time. It is worth while to live, to fight, to labor, to wait, and endure, for the end is sure. Men can struggle, toil, and sacrifice in hope and patience, for they realize that life goes, on forever, in the new fullness, with new earnestness and power. It is well that once a year the symbolism of Iiaster brings home anew the lesson that men, if they will, may o'erleap the barriers that their own errors and weakness have created, and emerge into a fuller and higher life, crowned with the assurance of immortality. Whether men believe or disbelieve, whether the future be for them dark or bright, whether they hold to relig ion or not, it is still true that they desire to see the good deed death less, the righfeous man immortal; and the deep-hearted believe that the life freely poured and given in human service returns in new life and life-giving power. Story of a Ten Dollar Bill. A Mosherville man missed a ten dollar bill last September, and re membered that he had been jostled while getting on a street car, ar.d thought that perhaps he might have had his pocket picked. And he didn't know but he had lost it. So he advertised that if the party who had possession of the ten dol lar bill lost by him on a certain date would return it there . would be nothing said about it. While going down town the next morning a friend handed him a ten dollar bill and said: "I found it just after you had passed and forgot all about it." He thanked him. As he got on the car in the city of Wilkes Barre a "sporty" looking man shoved a dirty envelope into his hand and said: "Here's your money old hoss. Don't squeal." In his mail that morning was an envelope containing a ten dollar bill, the en velope directed on a typewriter, and not a wcrd to indicate where it came from. One of the fine days last week that same man put on his last fall's suit, and in the pocket of the trouserloons he found a wad ded piece of paper, which he identi fied as the ten dollar bill he lost last September. He has just given thirty collars to the base ball fund. Ex. Trespass Notices. Card signs ".No Trespassing" for sale at this office. They are print ed in accordance with the late act of 1903.
