Instances Showing What Faithful
Sarvantt tha Country Has at Wash
ington Senator Penrose's Dally
Grind Requires Training of an Ath
lete to Stand the Pace.
Senators from the middle west seem
disposed to interfere somewhat with
the work of framing a tariff bill in
tht Vnlted States Senate. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota and Senator Dul
llver of Iowa have Joined in a battle
for a reduction In the duties on earth
enware, glass, cotton and wool. It ia
hardly probable, however, that the so
called Insurgents with whom some of
the western senators have allied them
selves will prevail In the construction
of the contemplated tariff legislation
now being framed in the Senate. The
senators classed as safe and sane seem
to be sufficiently strong to enact leg
Ir.lation which will be satisfactory to
the entire country and which will not
favor special Interests whether they
be in the east or the west, the north
or the south.
The enacting of a tariff bill satis
factory to all the people In a country
as great as Is the I'nlted States is a
most perplexing problem and calls
forth the very best efforts of the best
men In the nation. The making of the
propopd new law is described In on
entertaining way by a special Wash
ington correspondent In a late Issue of
the Philadelphia Ledger, who inci
dentally pays a generous tribute to
Senator Boles Penrose. The corre
spondent writes In part ns follows:
"In a country of great wealth ajid
high civilization, governed under per
ll.inientnry institutions, two houses,
each of so many members, do not
constitute the whole of the lawmaking
body. Add a president or a king, with
a swarm of administration bureaus,
and still you are far short of the
reality.
"In the T'nlted States the most po
tent of lawmaking Influences, leaving
out the elections which provide the
machinery and direct a few policies.
Is the cooperation of persons who are
employed or interested and that
means almost the whole body of intel
ligence In the country. An Ignorant
man might Judge the quality of legis
lation by his estimate of the limita
tions of the Individuals who sit In
the senate and house. Even so, he
would underestimate the capabilities
of the legislative institution. He might
see, if he would look, that the mem
bers who have a voice In legislation
are far above the average of their
communities, picked men, who may
have shortcomings as compared with
the Ideals set forth in rhetorical eulo
gies of past and present, but. rated
by the practical standards of life, pos
sess exceptional ability and alert In
dustry. For their guidance and as
sistance, at their call and generally
without being called, are lawyers of
specialized training, experts supplied
with facts, executive business men ac
customed to the problems of the sub
ject, college professors acquainted
with Its literature; in addition are
government bureaus supplied with rec
ords and statistics and skilled em
ployes to produce them at once when
required.
During a tariff session at Washing
ton this actual cooperation of the en
tire Intelligence of the country Is the
really conspicuous feature of the law
making process. The controlling direc
tion of legislation may be right or
wrong, wise for the nation or unwise.
At least the mind of the nation Is
jealously at work.
"In one day a legislator may confer
with a distinguished lawyer, a college
Investigator, a foreman of a mill, a
committeeman from some great asso
ciation of business men and a procee
sion of persons who know little of the
subject, but have views to express,
The next day brings the same expert
ence. If the conclusion of the legist
tor's vote shows no more than the bias
with which he left home, at least he
does not act In Ignorance. He Is a
partner with the best capacity of his
fellow-Americans.
"He la certainly not permitted to
remain In ignorance of the wishes of
his district. What personal visits leave
unsupplied the malls deliver to him
Not only wishes, but masses of facts
are laid before him. Even an Indolent
man must do a great deal of hard
work If his district is concerned about
a tariff schedule, as nearly every dis
trict In the Vnlted States is concerned
for a higher or a lower rate.
"With all the efforts of varied and
combined Intelligence to aid congress
with the highest expert Judgment and
Information, the sovereign people do
not know how well at least, how
faithfully they are served. On one
aide Congressman Payne gave ten
hours a day last week to constant and
high-strung attention. On the other-,
Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, a
tick man, was at his post; and each
was busy for hours when the house
was not in session; consulting, con
ferring and listening to the counsel
of his allies. And this after a month
of weary days and nights of labor on
the tariff bill. These long days were
conscientiously devoted to the service
of the country or of party, which te
an Americ' means the same thing.
"Pennsyhunlans bave been told th:
Boies PenroBe la a p.'.liticlan. Grant
for the sake of argument that he is a
party manager aud nothing more, Just
the same, he Is a powerful factor in
the affairs of the nation; to whom du
ties of supreme moment are confldod
by the most important legislative body
in the world. Not only that, every
day he 1b in consultation on torms of
intellectual equality with great ex
perts on trade subjects, eminent busi
ness men of Philadelphia, represent
atives of labor unions and successful
manufacturers. At 9 o'clock every
morning he is meeting these visitors
at the W'lllard. Ho may have to hurry
to a mectiug of the finance commit
tee. At 1 o'clock he la at his quarters
in the rooms of the pottofflce commit
tee, where he Is required to meet oth
er representative men and delega
tions. The same duties recur at 6
'clock. All day correspondence Is pil
ing up to be classified by clerks for
hla inspection. From breakfast until
midnight this routine of steam engine
work In tho country't or party's serv
ice goes on. Though he Is a phyBlcnl
giant, he must pursue the training of
an athlete to stand the pace. This
picture may not conform to the popu
lar Image of Senator Penrose, but It
Is the bare truth about him during a
tariff session.
"These are examples of the duties
of a legislator. The country does not
begin to know how well it is served.
The world does not know how won
derfully the Intelligence and knowl
edge of the I'nlted States are blended
and welded In the process of legisla
tion. Agree or not about the net re
sult or the underlying purpose, the
process Itself Is a marvel of coopera.
lion, hard work, energy and ability."
Saved by a Photograph.
A very remarkable Incident occurred
at Itlo do Janeiro.
A passenger on board one of the
large liners took a photograph of the
harbor. It Included a small yacht
which lnul sailed in the morning with
two men In her, but returned In the
evening with one only. The survivor
said his companion Imd fallen over
board, but bis statement was not be
lieved. He was tried and Hentenccd to
death. The matter had by this time
come to the ears of the photographer,
who remembered that the picture had
been taken on the day of the "crime"
(or nccldenti and that the scene em
braced a yacht. On examining the
print more carefully he noticed a small
siMvk on the anil aud In order to de
termine what It wns had an enlarge
ment made. It proved to be the figure
of n man fulling. It was shown to tho
authorities at once, and the condemned
man was released.
Dropsical Oysters.
With a sneer the oyster opener point
ed to a IiriwiiIhIi smear upon a Saddle
Koi'W shell.
"Some fool," said he, "hus beeu try
ing to fatten up a butch of Saddle
Kocks with comment. You might as
well try to Invigorate flowers with
corned beef hash. Hut it Is a common
error to believe that corntueal or oat;
meal will fatten oysters. I continually
find oysters with their shells stained
with those grains. It makes me laugh.
As a mutter of fact, there la no such
thing ns fattening oysters. All you can
do Is swell them up with water, pre
clsvly tle same ns water swells a
sponge. You put them lu fresh water,
which. Wing less dense than the soft

Beat Treatment for Colds.
"Most ordinary colds will yield to the
simplest treatment," says the Chicago
Tribune, "moderatlve laxatives, hot foot
baths, a free prespiration and an avoid
ance of exposure to cold and wet after
treatment." While this treatment is
simple, It requires considerable trouble,
and the one adopting It must remain in
doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is
almost sure to be contracted, and In many
instances pneumonia follows. Is It not
