Editor /'"ess: Again the dreadful cotton boll weevil invates the hall of Con gress. It is now asserted that in five years it has eaten up 5n0.000.- 00(1 worth of cotton; that it now requires more land to produce a bale; that it lias destroyed the credit of the small farmer; that it is driving the Negro laborer from the cotton districts; and that in Texas for the past five years the crop has decreased annually. A quarter of a million of dollars is asked for with which to conduct a campaign against the weevil. Mr. Roberts, of Mass.. wants S"20(),000 to help exterminate the gypsy and brown tail moth in bis state. Secy. Wilson opposes this on the ground that Massachusetts should do this work at lier own expense. Mr. Roberts wishes to know why the same rule is not applied to Texas? Possibly Congress will make a grant of $1.5,000 to enable some of the Government entomolo gists to discover what they can find out about the moths. The chief interest in Washing ton the past week has been the work of Congress, what it will do and what it cannot do for the want of time. A committee of Republi can Senators has held a meeting and decided that general legisla tion for this session of Congress must be confined to the Statehood and Philippine bills. If this reso lution is maintained many pet schemes will go over until next December, including the bills for the proposed new apportionment of Representatives on account of Southern disfranchisement; and the Cooper-Quarles bill which would give the Interstate Commerce Com mission power to regulate railroad rates and fares. The President claims the sole responsibility for having recommended this enlarge ment of the powers of the Commis sion. A hearing upon this bill be gan yesterday. The representa tives of the Shippers Association, a strong western organization, were present and in favor of the bill. Mr. Hepburn remarked that so august a body as the Supreme Court had decided that it could not pass upon the reasonableness of a rate fixed for the future. The inference was that the Inter state Commission could not do what the Supreme Court cannot. If Congress approves of the ['resident's recommendation for a Federal inspection service of all railway rolling stock, to ascertain if it is provided with the best kind of brakes, and if tliey are in work ing order, it is pointed out that the inspectors will have to examine 1,500,tt00 freight cars, .'JO,ooo pas senger cars and 4.'!,000 engines. This would give employment to a vast number of men and cause some traveling. So, too. if there is to b3 a Federal inquiry into ac cidents where there has been a loss of life, there must be. at the pres ent rate of slaughter, some 8,000 inquests annually. Add to this inspectors for the proposed block signal service, and a small army of men will be required to keep the railroad safe and sound. But as many great railways have Sena tors in Congress these propositions will hardly be enacted into laws immediately, although it is cer tain that the people approve of their spirit. Next week, when Secretary Taft returns from Panama, be will, at the request of the President, take up the case of the widows and de pendents of soldiers in Philadel phia, who for many years have been making soldiers' uniforms, but are now deprived of the work by contractors. An exhaustive study of the whole question is de sired. The Quartermaster (Jen. is in favor of the contractors, but the President would gladly give the work to the poor women if the statues allow him to do so. The contractors bid to make the kersey trousers worn by soldiers forthirty seven and one-half cents a The women used to get 7"> cents for the same work. It appears that out of HO,OOO garments made last year by the seamstresses only 12 were rejected, while a much larger per cent of the contract work was rejected upon the first exami nation. The Delineator for January. With a most attractive cover and a varied list of contents, including the latest news of the fashions and literary and domestic features of the greatest interest. The Delineator for January is an altogether excellent number. The regular fashion display is supple mented by a strikingly illustrated arti cle on"The Stage as a School of Cos tume," showing the close relations that exist between the theatre and the world of style. Herbert D. Ward and Seumas MacManus contribute stories of rare charm, and under the pseudonym "Marie Columbia" a very clever writer describes the "smart set" in Washing ton society. "Jesus Lover of My Soul" is the first paper in a series, by Allan Sutherland, giving the history and ro mance of the famous hymns <>f the world, and in the "Composers' Series" the love stories of Mendelssohn and Cecilo is related by Gustav Kobbe. For children there is a wealth of inter, eating matter, the name of L. Frank Baum and Grace MacGowan Cooke be ing prominent among the contributors. Among the domestic topics, in addition to the regular features, is the first paper of"The Making of a Housewife," by Isabel Gordon Curtis. A new depart ment, "Good Looks," supplements a series of papers along similar lines that appeared during the past year. The January Smart Set. The contents page of the January Smart Set is the first indication of the excellence which is to mark the maga zine for 190"). With George Barr Me- Cuteheon, Frances Aymar Mathews, William R Lighton, Emery Pottle, Rupert Hughs, Edward Boltwood and Hebert D. Ward standing out from among twenty-seven other names, the January number promises well for the coming year. The novelette, "The Coming of the King," by Frances Aymar Mathews, is a most delicate mingling of light humor and touching pathos. George Barr McCutcheon, whose "Graustark" swept him into promin ence on the wave of popular favor, has written a long short story for the Janu ary Smart Set. In"The Laurel Wreath" Gustav Kobbe contributes a story which will be instant in its ap peal. "Claude Fitz-Maurice, Bad Man," by William R. Lighton, is a breezy tale of the West. Other excel lent stories, are contributed by Emery Pottle Rupert Hughes, Kathryn Jarboe, Edward Boltwood, Clinton Dangerfleld, Herbert D. Ward and B. Fletcher Robinson, while in verse and humor the high standard of the maga zine is more than maintained by Vir ginia Woodward Cloud, Carolyn Wells, Arthur Stringer, Zona Gale, R. K. Munkittrick, Theodosia Garrison, John Vane© Cheney and Elsa Barker. The essay, "Aloes and Ambrosia," by Edgar Saltus, and the French story, by Marcel Prevost, merit their place with the other contributes to this un usually excellent number. Myra Kelly's Own Experiences. Myra Kelly, whose stories which ap peared in McClure's Magazine during the last year, have been made into a book bearing the title "Little Citizens," drew upon her own actual experiences for the material of her amusing tales. She was for over two years a teacher in a school on East Broadway, right in the heart of the most foreign section of New York. She is an Irish woman, born in Dublin, of pure Irish stock; and the natural Irish turn of mind to wards fun made her express the humorous side of her experience. There has beeen a serious turn to some of the reviews of her book. They have gone so far as to say that "it should be on the desk of every one in terested in education to-day." Miss Kelley declares that she aimed to be amusing, rather than instructive, and it both flatters and surprises her to find that her book has so serious an import. No More Suffering. If you are troubled with indigestion get a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and see how quickly it will cure you. Geo. A. Thompson, of Spencer, la., says:"Have had Dyspepsia lor twenty years. My ease was almost hopeless. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and I used a few bottles of it and it is the only thing that has relieved me. Would not be without it. Have doctored with local physicians and also at Chicago, and even went to Norway with hopes of get ting some relief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only remedy that has done me any good, and I heartily recommend it. Every person suffering with Indiges tion or Dyspepsia should use it." Sold by 11. C. Kod*nn. The more of a gas works a man is the less light he gives.

They Send Out Letters Urging; "Quiet" Work to Defeat the Proposed Bill. Harrisburg Telegraph. The Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League is making a systematic cam paign for the passage of a general local option law for this State by the next Legislature. Personal letters were sent to-day to every Senator and Rep resentative from the League headquar ters in the Real Estate building calling attention to the movement for general local option. The letter states that the proposed law would take the liquor question out of the hands of the Legislature and now largely out of the hands of the court and put it directly within the jurisdiction of the people of each com munity who are most harmed or bene fitted by the traffic, and that it would also put the saloon at. the mercy of the people. VISIT WILL FOLLOW. The League will follow up these let ters with a personal visit by a repre sentative of the organization to every legislator for the purpose of explaining its aims and purposes; its plan of cam paign in Pennsylvania and other States of the Union, and inviting him to vote for such legislation as it may offer in the next session. State Superintendent Nicholson says that it is not the purpose of the League to secure the enactment of a general local option statute similar to the Bran nock act in operation in Ohio, to which attention has been called in a circular letter issued by the State Retail Liquor League of Pennsylvania to every liquor dealer in the State asking him to co operate with the League for the defeat of local option. "The Brannock law is a most remark able, illogical and outrageous enact ment," the letter of the Liquor League states. "The experience of the Ohio people should teach the trade in this State that it is not safe, under like cir cumstances, to remain idle and indif ferent until the evil comes upon them in all force. It is hardly necessary to remind you that local option is prohi bition in disguise. It is prohibition within the region wherein it is adopted. SALOON KEEPERB WIDE AWAKE. "You are urged to begin at once every effort you can command to secure the sympathy and co operation of the legislators from your portion of the State in opposition to this movement. Lay the facts before them as clearly and as influentially as possible and enlist them in the cause of sound morality, good government and the prosperity of the State. Such effort should be made very quietly, because publicity may assist instead of counteracting the efforts of the Prohibitionists." This letter is marked "confidential" and is signed by P. H. Nolan, national representative, and Theodore Huck stein, secretary of the Liquor League, which will contain a strong lobby in Harrisburg during the legislature for the defeat of the local option bill and such other temperance legislation as may be offered.
