THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
A thorough mid adequate program
has been practically completed by tin;
senate and In certain t be adopted by
the house, so that this session of con
gress, notwithstanding the brief time
at its disposal, and the statehood
blockade, in the senate, will be able to
adjourn with the knowledge that it
has done all that is possible or judl
clous to uphold and strengthen the
hands of the attorney general in his
efforts to correct the trust evils. The
only important feature of this program
not yet accomplished is the passage
of the F.lkins bill by the house and
your correspondent has received as
surances from Speaker Henderson
and the other leaders of the lower
chamber that it will be enacted at an
early date.
The anti-trust program when en
acted will provide an appropriation
of $51)0,0(10 for the employment of
expert assistance In the prosecution
of anti-trust suits; the enactment of a
measure expediting the trial of anti
trust suits In the courts; the prohibi
tion of rebates With equal penalties
on receivers and grantors, provided
by the Klkins bill; a publicity feature
for industrial corporations included
In the bill establishing a department
of commerce and labor. The publi
city feature Is provided for in what
Is known as the Nelson amendment.
The proposed bureau of corporations
lias been replaced with a commission
er of corporations who is empowered
to collect and compile for the use of
the president the necessary statistics.
The interstate commerce commis
sion will remain Intact instead of
leing included in the new department
as was intended and as was provided
In the house bill. Strengthened by
the provisions of the Elklns bill, the
commission will become far more
effective in its supervision of trans
portation companies. The assurance
of the new department of commerce
and labor is accompanied by an
authoratlve statement to the effect
that Air. George ' B. Cortelyou, now
secretary to the president, will be
come its secretary and, as such, a
member of the cabinet. Mr. Cortel
you has long been a valued advisor
of the president and lias earn! by
most exceptional merit the position
for which he has been selected.
. The statehood situation in the sen
ate is still in "statue Quay" to use
the witticism ot Senator Piatt, but
there are indications of a compiomise
which will be reached In the near
future. The present plan is to admit
.Oklahoma .as one state and Arizona
ftnd New Mexico as another. This
does not meet with the approval of
the democrats and for that reason
Senator Quay has not yet given It his
approval, but as it becomes evident
that no more favorable arrangement
can be made it becomes more likely
that he will do so.
The house of representatives passed
the Littlefield anti-trust billon Satur
day and it will now go to the senate
but will not be taken under conside
ration there, both time and inclina
tion preventing its teing taken up.
It will, of course, lie referred to the
judiciary committee of which Senator
Hoar is chairman and he assures
. your correspondent that he Is very
duubtlul if it will be even reKrted to
the senate.
The Venezuelan controversy ha
not yet been settled although those
persons in a position to know, feel
confident that it will lie at an early
date. The 'so called "shirt-sleeve
diplomacy" of Minister Rowen came
very near precipitating a misunder
standing this week and an attempt
was made by the representative otJ
the allies to go over Mr. Howell's
head and secure the intervention and
(irbitrutioi) of the president. This
proositioQ Mr. Roosevelt promptly
declined and conferences with Mr.
ISoWeii are again in progress. He
has offered to each of the allies a pay
ment of $27,1)00 as an evidence of
good faith. His olfer has not yet
been accepted as it is conditional on
the immediate raising of the Vene
zuelan blockade.
Practically no time has been given
by the wnutu to the consideration of
any of the treaties now before it and!
the necessity of an extra session of
the upper chamber for their con
hi h -ration is freely predicted. Sena
tor l,od;M! toll your correspondent

Tress to the effect that there was no
hope for the ratification of Hie Alas
kan treaty proves to be wholly with
out foundation. Seven of the must
prominent members of the senate
have assured your correspondent
that, If a sufficient time for the con
sideration of this treaty can be secur
ed, there will be no trouble In effect
ing its ratification. Senators Foster
and Turner of Washington say that
their constituents are opposed to the
convention, but they will not filibus
ter on it and they are open to convic
tion and will be pleased to have the
advocates of the arrangement prove
to them that it is ill the best interests
of the I'nited States and will not in
any injure the existing status of the
Alaskan boundary dispute. If this
can be done they will withdraw their
opposition.
Information has reached Waghlng
ton to the effect that a congressional
election will take place in Columbia
on the first of March and that the new
congress will meet not later than the
first week in April. It is expected
that the I'nited States senate will
ratify the Columbian treaty, provid
ing for the construction of the Panama
canal, at this or at an extra session
and it will then remain for the newly
elected Columbian Congress to ratify
the agreement. Ileports frem Bogota
indicate that the treaty is generally
well received and those from Panama
state that the people are overjoyed
at the prospect, of the completion of
the canal which will make two of
their cities most Important, sen-port
towns. Senator Morgan still con
tinues to oppose the treaty but as he
has no supporters lie cannot prevent
its ratification.

To Restrict Cartoonist
Some newspapers in the state are
having considerable fun over a bill
Introduced by Representive Freder
ick T. Pusoy of Delaware county to
restrain newspapers and other pub
lications from printing or publish
ing any "cartoon or caricature or
picture portrtfying, describing or
representing any ))erson either by
distinction, innuendo or otherwise,
in the form or likeness of auy beast,
bird fish insect or any other no
human animal."
The penalty attached is a fine of
$1000 and imprisonient for two
years or either or both.
It will be recalled that during the
last gubernatoiial campaign Gov
eruor Pennypacker was caricatured
as a parrot with spectacles and that
considerable freedom was taken
with his ancestral boots. Governor
Stone was often prot rayed as a
parchyderm, and Senator Quay
was represented in the guise of a
disreputable looking owl and also in
various other more or less irreverent
ways. It is understood that all
these goutlemen are to an extent,
interested in the bill.
Since its introduction Mr. Pus(s)ey
has come in for a large share of
notoriety, and as cits are food of
birds be might be turned loose in
the office aimed at with disastrous
results to the parrot and owl,
To Amend the Constitution
A joint resolution proposing an
inendiuent to the constitution of
this state has been introduced
which is as follows:
Add to -the end of section 7, article
A, the following words: "Unless,
before it shall be introduced in the
general assembly, such proposed
special or local law shall have been
first submitted to a popular vote at
a" general or (special election in the
locality or localities to be affected
by its operation, under an order of
the court of common . pleas of the
respective county, after heiring
applications granted, and shall have
been approved by a majority of the
voters at such election. Provided,
that no Buch election shall be held
until the decree of court authorizing
the same shall have been advertised
for at least thirty days in the local
ly or localities affected in such
manner as the court may direct."
Also tne following is now pending :
An act to permit the electors of
any city, borough or township, or
of any ward in any city of the first
and second class in this common
wealth, to voto upon the 'question
of granting Houses to sell intoxicat
ing liquors, and providing the
punishment for illegal sales.
Believes in Woman Suffrage
Dr. Clara Mashall, dean of the
woman's medical college, Phila.,
Pa., declares she has always been
in favpr of woman suffrage.
Dr. C. N. Pierce of the same city
shares her views and writes :
"My memory does not go beyond
the time that I was not favorable to
my sisters enjoying all of the privi
ledges that I have; and when at years
of maturity I deemed if a gross in
justice that my women friends
could not exercise the same influence
through the ballot that their
brothers, fathers and husbands did.
I have seen no reason to change my
opinion."

That amount of revenue from an
office requiring so little work or
attention ought to be considered
very liberal, but there are many
other perfectly proper mid legitimate
perquisities of the the office tnat
increase the above figures by a con
siderable amount, and it is safe to
say that the office for some years
past has been worth to the treasurer
on an average (1,500 to 11,600.
The above figures are taken from
the public, books and documents,
most of which were examined by the
county auditors and all available to
them during settlement. Still in
face of these facts they refused to
approve the aotion ot the commis
sioners in fixing the commissions
the saino as for the several years
past, but persisted in the Increase
from four to five per cent. It is a
matter of easy calculation to see that
where the late treasurer received
(895.54 on county funds, his sue
oessor the present incumbent on
the same amount of funds will
receive one quarter wore or (1,
119.32. The added one per cent, if
same bad been allowed to Rowland,
would have swelled his official in
come, from the sources above cited,
from (1,457.18 to (1,683 04.
The auditors appointed for their
clerk Joslah F. Terwilliger whose
term of office as auditor had just
expired At least one of the auditors
compliments him as "the smartest
young man in Pike county," and
with his experience as auditor, and
general familiarity with the various
county offices, surely he had. oppor-
tunities to acquire an approximate
knowledge of the emoluments of
the treasurer's office. One of the
auditors publicly announced at var
ious times that the five or six hun
dred dollars received by the treas
urer watt insufficient, and that his
commissions should be one quarter
more, in other words two aud one
half per cent each way Instead of
two per cent which had prevailed for
severai years past. Did "the smart
est young man in. Pike county"
wilfully misinform the auditors as
to the treasurer's income from the
office, or did he blandly sit quiet
and permit those officers to make
themselves ridiculous by uttering
statements that all their hcarors
knew to be false? He knew they
were using the argument to effect
the increase of the per centage, and
he bad every facility for knowing
that their contention was without a
foundation of truth. Maybe this
was part of the scheme of his ap
pointment. Frequently the com
misuioners and treasurers are more
interested in the persounel of the
board of auditors than the auditors
themselves.
"The smartest young man in Pike
county had received from his
uncle, a county commissioner, and
other friendly county commission-
em many checks for printing and
stationery furnished by him without
the formality of "advertising for
bids," and had secured late in
December from the old board,
through its retiring clerk, Mr. Goo,
A. Swcpeniser, an ordor for suf
ficient stationery to supply the in
coming board for their full term
without any competative formality,
unit it wna nnitn oi.tiir.,1 that "tha
smartest young man in Pike county"
was anxious to take a baud in pass
ing Lis owe bills and those of his
benefactors and that the officer
that had bo feathered his nest would
fool safer with a friondly represent
ative always with and fcteeritig the

DIRECTORS NOT DIRECTING
What the Act of Assnmbly Prescribes
as Their Duty How They
Fulfill It
The school law provides among
other duties of directors, "they shall
exercise a general supervision over
all the schools of their respective dis
tricts, aud shall by one or more of
their number visit every school in the
district at least once in each month.
and shall cause the result of such visit
to be entered m the minutes of the
board."
The reports of teachers showing
who visit the schools would be pre
sumed to mention the fact of a director
having made any visit.
The report of Prof. John C. Wat
son, principal of the high school, does
not show any visit by a director since
March 10(l and the next preceding
visit shown 'was in December 100(1.
The report for the intermediate de
partment shows no visit of a director
since May 1000, the report of the
second priihary contains a minute of
a visit by Hon. J. J. Hart in October
1000, none .since by a director, the
report of the first primary shows no
visit by a director since February
1900, and the Sehoeopee school report
makes no mention of any di recto:
having graced tne school with his
presence since November, 1807, over
five years ago. Other visitors art
named in each of the above reports
and it hardly seems possible that
visits of directors, if made, would
not be noted. Are the directors per
forming their duty under the law,
anil if not, why not? And if they
are so negligent in the performance
of the most important duties pertain
ing to their oflice, that of supervising
the schools, should they be entrusted
with other matters which, though of
great moment do not rank with the
primary essential, that of seeing that
the children in our schools are being
properly educated. There are many
people in this town who cannot afford
to send their children away to school
are not those children entitled to
the best education obtainable here
and are those parents doing their
duty by their children when they
vote to retain men in the office of
school directors who utterly neglect
their interests. This should be a
serious question tor every parent.
St. Valentine's Day
This day, which was formerly
much more observed than now, was
originally a festival instituted in
memory of the good Bishop Valen.
tine who was beaten with clubs and
beheaded at Rome at the time of the
heathen festival of love and purifi
cation Feb. 14, A. D., 278. As it was
the day on which Roman youths
were wont to make choice of sweet
hearts by drawing the names of
young women from a box a custom
derived from the old notion that
birds began mating Feb. 14t,h the
pagan observance was engrafted in
the Christian festival, with this
difference, that the names of certain
female saints were substituted. The
saint thus drawn by chance as
patron for the ensuing year was
called a valentine Soon as was to
be expected, the fair daughters of
Eve still in the flesh began to super,
cjde those translated to the skies.
A present of a scarf or other article
of female finery was the usual
intimation to the fair one of the
issue of the drawing, the drawing
of names, which was first added in
161)7, was a custom out of which has
sprung the modern epistolary valen
tine. In February of that year
Pepy writes "I do first observe the
fashion of drawing of mottoes as
well as names, so that Pierce, who
drew my wife's, did also draw a
motto 'most courteous and most
fair' which as it'may be nsed, or an
anagram made upon each, name,
might be very pretty."
