- WASHINGTON NOTES.
On W cic< sday of List week, the tw
houses of Congress received a jolt from
President Roosevelt that created a tfro
fonnd sensation. In a message to then,
he said he hesitated before signing th.
resolution requiring the Inter-Stat-
Commerce Commission to investigate
the railroads accused of trying to
monopolize the coal indnstry of the
country and of the oil. industry in it,
relation to the railroads because, t<
him, tie resolution appeared to bsar
the marks of insincerity.
The chief matk of insincerity was
the failure to give tho commission leg::l
power' to compel thf attendance oi
witnesses; and no appropriation wat
carried by the resolution to p*y the ex
penses of the investigation. Another is
that the Department, of Commerce and
Labor has long been engaged in an in
vestigation of the oil and anthracite in
• dnstries, and a preliminary repoit
thereon will soon be sent to Congress.
He also called attention to the fact thai
if the commission, now busy with it
legitimate busiuess, compels any
testimony on the subject those giving
testimony will thereby bo granted im
munity from criminal prosecution.
In view of those facts the President
asked the lawmakers to given close
consideration to the subject, so that
they may come to a conclusion th- 1
will really represent their desires. He
asked "for legislation that will make the
desires of Congress clear, whether
commission is to have the power to
compel the attendance of witnesses aud
also to make aa allovrnuQe of. gay.
$50,000 for tho payment of expanses.
The Senate put the Statehood propo
sition in very different fonn in the final
voting last Friday, by striking ont nil
all references to the nnion and admis
sion of Arizona and New Mexico am'
making the measure provide exclusively
fc>r the creation of a state ont of Okla
homa and the Indian Territory. Tne
House passed 40S p; ivate pension bil ?,
fcaat day.
Justice 11. B. Brown of the U. S.
Supreme Court "will retire on the a::e
- limit soon. Senator Knox don't wait:

as he would like to be President.
FOI/ITICAJj.
Lincoln Stefllns, in his article of last
Sunday, predicts the formation of two
now parties—one in the interest of the
trusts and corporations and other mon
eyed interests; and the other inthecoai
mon or general interest.
It is interesting for Pennsylvania to
observe that Chicago has just had a
trial of the new Illinois primary law
The primaries held there a few days
ago were for frhe nomination of can
didates for Aldermen to be voted on at
the April city election. The reports in
dicate that its outcome goes far to
ward bearing out the claim of its sup
porters, although it is worth while not
ing that initial tests are frequently snr
rounded by rose colored tints.
However, it is interesting that an nil
usually heavy vote was polled by both
parties under conditions which preveut
* ed the by enthusiastic worker.--
of voting at the primaries of both. Of
the candidates recommended by the
Municipal Voters' League all but two
were successful The issue was on a
question likely to call into activity the
full force of practical politics, being
the raising of the license fee for saloons
from S9OO to SIOOO, against which the
saloons rallied all the strength they
could command. There were seventeen
contests and the reform element-, or
those recommended by that element,
won in twelve cases.
SOME U. S. Maislialls were killed by

At a hearing before the Inter.-Ute
Commerce Commission at Cincinnati
last Saturday, the general freight
of the Big Four li. R. was reported as
testifying as follows:
"We carried a shipment of steel from
Pittsburg to Kansas City • lust year at

"Did you pay a rebate ;"
"Yes, sir."
"How did you pay this rebate, by
cash, cheek, under-billing, dam

"We gave them the money."

the valne of property when it is for sake
and when it is to be taxed is based on
human nature. Everyone wishe to sell

he can get aud at least a large share of

to have been reserved for a corporation

The New York Central railroad owus

The Corroboration of Experi
ence.
When the United States Government
took charge of the Panama canal it w-'s
s imewhat lightly given out that it
would show the world a new and nu
preeedentedly efficient way to prosecute
great public undertakings. A mental
review of the middlings, strivings aud
shifts that make up the record of pro
_-ri -a in the task can hardly fail to lend
strong corroboration to the declaration
ot John F. Wallace that the way to get
the canal dng is to make a contract
with firms or syndicates to do tlie woik,
and confine the function of the Govern
ment to polic? and sanitary supervision
of the canal strip, and to seeing that
the woik is performed according to the
contract.
The Government is fairly well equip
ped for performing the duty of super
vision aud inspection if transactions of
! the Carter stripe are vigilantly exclud
-d. The spectacle of Carter in prison
wll greatly aid that exclusion. Bur
the United States 'is not equipped for
arTyitig on a vast bn-iness undertak
ing. especially when all important quest
ions muse be decided by an authority
2,000 miles from the scene of action aud
uot conversant with practical conditions
from which the problems arise. More
s'rong hiut that even so eartn st a re
f irmi-r as President Roosjv<»lc finds it
difficult to overcome the methods of
political selection that do little to secure
tae most efficient men for carryiug on
the work.
The experience of the past year or
t r o will not need to continue very
tuach longer to put the theory of Gov
ernment prosecution of public works
without contracts in the light of whs r
old Governor Anen of Ohio used to de
S'-ribe as "a d d barren ideality."—

CATCHING TURTLES.
M<"t!io!ln 1 seJ l»r the ris'ierincn of
the Trojilca.
Turtles are always captured at night
and usually on moonlight ones. This
is tho time they go on the shore to lay
their eggs. They select a smooth,
sandy beach, dig holes iu tl ■ sand, de
posit their eggs there and leave them
to bo hatched by the heat of the sand.
When the turtles are on shore for thi.
purpose hunters come upon them, and
they are easily overtaken, for turtle
are slow movers. The bun'- rs have
not a'very strenuous undertaking. All
that is neee ry to be done is to turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
removed.
Another more curious way of catch
ing turtles is by fishing by the remora.
a fish found in tho tropical waters. The
popular name of this fi. h and the one
by which the children of those coun
tries call them Is the sucking lish. This
name is given to them on account of a
disk on their heads, by which they can
attach then: elves to any smooth sur
face, like the side of a shark, a ship
or the ..hell of a turtle. This Ji k is
like the soft leather "suckers" that are
popular with schoolboys. When this
fish has once attached himself to any
thing you can pull him to pieces rather
than force him to release liis hold.
Turtle hunters go in boats and carry
several of tl.e-e iv:r. >ra ; iu tubs. \\ lien
they see a turtle and get near him the
sucixr is sent after him. He is held
by the ring on his tail, which In turn
is attached by a stout cord. Soon the
fish'is securely fastened to the shell
of tho turtle, and .turtle and fish are
hauled into the boat together. Once in
the air the rymora loosens his hold and
is dropi .d back into the tub to rest
uiilii another turtle is sighted.—Wash
ington .Star.
Govern Yourself.
Men and women often say they can't
govern themselves. That is simply ad
mitting they have defects of character
which are their masters. They ought
to :e,ake effort and see If .they are not
c." n. The worst effects of lack of
self mtrol are on tho health. It al
lows every kind of bad habit in eat
ing, drinking, dressing and sleeping to
gain p-v;--i .on of the person, and the
result is a weak Instead of a strong
c!; r.—Home Notes.
