THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Senator Morgan of Alabama has
shown his hnwl nnd his determina
tion to defeat, the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty. Whm pressed,
In a recent executive session, to per
mit A (lute to he set for a vote on the
treaty Mr. Morgan flew into a rngo.
After he hud refused to permit a vote
on any tiny during the remainder of
the session, Senator Cultom charged
the Alabama Benator with talking
against lime Willi the purpose of
defeating the treaty. "That is as
false as though it had come from the
mouth of an imp in hell" shouted
Mr. Morgan. "I do not take orders
from the senator from Illinois. When
I want somebody to act as my
captain I will get a man with more
mental calibre and broader mind"
continued the enraged senator, to the
amazement of his rolloagues. Mr.
Cullom permitted the Alabamian to
spend his wrath with remarkable
composure and then declared that
those charged with seeing the treaty
succeed proposed that ratification
follow. Jf the senator from Alabama
talked the treaty to death this session
he would have an opportunity to
attempt a repetition of his tactics in
an extra session. Mr. Morgan's
attitude is regarded as rendering an
extra session of the senate inevitable
but .Senator Cullom assures your
correspondent that the Panama canal
and the Cuban treaties will be ratified
if it becomes necessary to "hold the
senate in extra session until July."
The democrats in the senate pre
pared themselves for a long filibuster
w ith a view to forcing a vote on the
Litllefield anti-trust hill, but the
republican managers promptly de
feated their purpose by calling for a
Vote on Benator Blackburn's motion
to consider the Littlefield bill and
defeating it 28 to 38. Senator Aid
rich, speaking of the action of his
party said, '-It was so obviously
ludicrous to attempt to consider so
imxrtant and far-reachinga measure
as the Littlefleld bill in the closing
hours of the session that the republi
cans had no fear that the judgment
of thepeople would not sustain them."
The democrats appreciated that the
consideration of the bill would be
impossible but sought this means of
embarrassing the republicans and of
making what they believed would
constitute campaign material.
Democratic members of the House
have held a caucus and resolved to
obstruct every measure until adjourn
nient. To meet this filibuster the
house will, it is expected, he compell
ed to remain in continuous session
until the 4th of March, substituting
daily "recesses" for adjournment.
Thus every action of the house here
after will be "as on the legislative
day of Feb. 20th." The occasion of
the democratic wrath was the un
seating of Representative Butler of
Missouri in favor of Representative
Wagoner of the same district, "exten
sive frauds having been found in the
election returns.
Practically all the important ap
propriation bills are now out of the
way and there is no occasion to
anticipate an extra session of the
entire congress although an extra
session of the senate is expected.
President Roosevelt has sent to tiie
senate a forcible message appealing
to that body to pass the Philippine
tariff bid already passed by the
house. The president quotes a long
cablegram from Governor Taft set
ting forth the necessity of affording
this assistance to the Philippine
industries. A careful canvass of the
senate reveals the fact that a majority
would lie glad to support the bill if
given an opportunity to vote for it
but Senators Teller and Patterson,
both democrats, from Colorado, de
clare their intention to talk the
measure to death. These gentlemen
ere afraid that at some future time
the Philippine sugar industry may
attain proportions which' will enable
it to compete with their sugar pro
ducing count it uents and thus rob them
of mime of the benefits of the J lingley
tarif schedules.
The president and his secretary of
tlie luivy are deeply Concerned over
tiie action of the seoe.te in una-mliug
thenaval appropriation bill to provide
fur 12,001) ton bi.lt !e .-.hips and 9,5110
cruisers, tlie bou -e ha ing authorized
Hi, ooo ton Little ships and 1 I, too ton
cruisers. ( in tiie same (I. iy that tl.e
is iii Ui took this action the naval
bom, I on ruin tru, lion rendered a
toiiiiiieou-i opinion to .'-eietary
ii!:i.sy lo.it il would lie 'iiaunk.l
less than 1 0,0(10 tons displacement
and cruisers of less than 1 1,500 tons
displacement." The naval board
says that a change to the smaller type
of vessels will necessitate much un
necessary expense and delay as it will
mean the changing of plans, paterns,
etc., and when the ships are built
they will fail to give satisfaction or
add to the strength of the navy on
lines commensurate w ith the expense
involved. The president is thorough
Iv interested in the development of
the navy and is much disappointed
at the action of the senate committee.
President Roosevelt made a recent
trip to New Yoik to participate in
the celebration of the anniversary of
John Wesley. While there he con
ferred with some of the leaders of his
party and some most interesting
gossip 1 coming to Washington as a
result of those conferences. The
president's friends say that be will be
nominated for the presidency next
year by the almost unanimous vote
f the convention and that Senatoi
lieveridge will occupy the second
place on the ticket. They say this is
an age of young men and with B
president 45 and a vice president but
four years his junior the spirit of tin
age will be carried into effect. It is
further stated that during the cam
paign Mr. Roosevelt will remain in
the White House while Senator liev
eridge, w ho is a orator of renown,
will "stump" the west in the interest
of the ticket. Mr. Bevendge, accord
ing to these reports, is very popular
in the west and the president's popu
larity in that section is well known
w hile his hold on Mew York state is
continually growing stronger.
The war department authorities,
working under the provisions of the
militia reorganization bill, have
prepared a course in markmanship
with drill and instruction thereon for
the militia and have designed Insig
nia to be awarded for proficiency iu
this direction. There will be seven
classes, "experts, sharpshooters and
marksmen and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
classes." It is believed the new
regulations will contribute materially
to the efficiency of the militia in this
direction.
That Sideboard Story
After all the fuss and featliers it
develoes that the sideboard from the
White House recently sold at auction
to a saloon Weeper was not the one
presented to Mrs. Hayes by the W
C. T. U. In fact no such sideboard
was ever presented to her by that
organization. The article in question
was bought for the White House
dining the incumbency of President
Arthur.
On a par with this story is o
criticism that the portraits of tlx
mistresses of the White House are
hum? in the "cellar." The fact is
that these portraits hang in a corridor
leading to the president's private
office off of which there are several
guest chambers, all guests having to
pais the pictures. The portrait of
Mrs. Roosevelt hangs directly op
posite to that of Mrs. Hayes.
Evils Ruinous to Schools
Partisanship, boodling, favoritism,
and logrolling are familiar political
evils which are ruinous to schools.
The merit system alone is adapted to
good government. When the Intel
ligent patrons become personally and

Wide Tires
It i9 worse than useless to create
expensive and valuable highways,
to have them only cut to pieces by
the uso of narrow tires, as now used
for the hauling of heavy loads in
this state. When an expensive
highway has beeu created it must
bo taken care of, and methods here
tofore permitted must be changed in
order to help, maintain it. Wide
tires are of the greatest value in
preserving ordinary dirt roads. In
France every freight and market
wagon is a road maker The tires
are from three to ten inches in
width usually from four to six
inches. Most loads are carried on
two-wheeled carts with a single
horse, the loads weighing over two
tons. With the few four-wheel
vehicles used in France the tires are
rarely less than six inches in width,
and the rear axle is about fourteen
inches longer than the fore axle, so
that the rear or hind wheels run
about one inch outside of the level
rolled by the front wheels. ' In Ger
many the law prescribes that all the
wagons drawing heavy loads, such
as coal, brick, earth., stone, eto
must have tires at least four inches
wide. European countries have long
ago discarded narrow tires, in order
to preserve and build their high
ways, and also because it is an
economy in the use of the vehicle
and the weight that a horse is able
to draw. Wide tires are not onlv
lighter in theirdranght than narrow
ones, under nearly all conditions,
hut they roll the roads smooth,
instead of cutting them to pieces.
A four-inch tire on a wagon carrying
a heavy load is a road builder.
A State wide tire law should be
passed, simple in its requirements,
positive in its enforcement, and go
ing into effect two years after its
passage, in order to permit every
wagon user to have ample time to
adapt wagon tires to the new law
lu the interest of road maintenance.
The Philippine Tariff
The urgent telegrams sent by Gov
ernor Taft from Manila to the presl
dent and Secretary Root have caused
the president to send a special mes
sage to congress urging the passage
of a suitable tariff law to relieve the
serious conditions lu the islands. The
president suggests a special reduction
in tariff levied against Philippine
goods coming into the United States
He states a series of calamities have
befallen the Philippine people. Just
as they were emerging after nearly.
six years of devastating warfare, there
has oceured an epidemic of rinderpest
destroying W) (-r cent of the carttbaos,
the Philippine cattle, leaving tho
people without draft animals to do
farm or other work. The president's
message to congress is a very strong
one, but it is doubted whether such a
law as he urges can pass that body at
this time. Although low tariff is a
democratic doctrine, there are ele
ments of the democratic party, such
as Senators Teller, Patterson, DuBois
and others hailing from beet s:igur
and cane sugar states, who will work
to prevent any such tariff hill becjni
ing a law.

ANOTHER RAILROAD
Project Which If Comsummated
Means Great Benefit to
the County
A recent Issue of the North Amer
ican contains an article of much
interest to this section. It is a
statement that a construo'.ion com
pany is dow being organized to build
a railroad from Pittsburg to Port
Jervis which it is strongly intimated
is to be a connecting line to the east
for the Wabash system. One factor
In the move is the Independent coal
operators, both in the bituminous
and anthracite, fields. Tho survey,
as made, establishes the distance
botweon Williamaport and W'ilkes-
barre as seventy miles, or thirty
miles shorter than by any route, with
not more than a one per cent grade
at any place, and for twenty-eight
miles bs level as a floor. From
Wllkesbarre to Port Jervis la 85
miles, and at Port Jervis connection
Is made with the O. & W. to tide
water. Arrangements have already
been made with that road for a con
nection and it will receive a large
traffic in anthracite coal from inde
pendent operators.
The proposed new road is made
possible by an old charter granted
to the Lehigh and Eastern in 1868
which was very libetal in its provis
ions and which has been kept valid
by partial construction and legisla
tive enactment. This chartor gives
a right to build a road from a point
in Luzerne county and extend its
lines to almost any point in the
state. It can bridge the Delaware or
any other stream and cross the linos
of any other railroad at grade or
otherwise. It is a liberal charter
and one of the kind granted when
charters were not so valuable as
now. Under this charter, it will be
remembered, considerable grading
was done in this county in 1874.

Train Children at Home
Thn home should give more at

the child life. There seems to be a
tendency to turn the pupil over to
the schools at too early an age and,
iu this way, the child is deprived of
much of that wholesome educational
influence which properly belongs to
the homo. Mothers should not
become so busy with social' and
political reform as to neglect the
training of their children. The
home can best co-operate with the
schools by doing the work which
properly belongs to the homo. The
best way to institute lasting reform
is to teach the boys and girls of
today so that we will not need to

The Sussex Register whose editor
is always apt to soy just what he
means, said something last week
about people who would not take a
home paper. A fow of his remarks
hear repeating ! People sometimes
decline to subscribe to their home
paper for the reason that they al
ready take several papers published
in New York and elsewhere pub
lished out side of the county. Yet
those same people often ask and
receive favors from the local paper
while none is received or expected
from the outside journal.
When a death ocours in the home
they expect the local paper to report
it in tender, sympathetic strain, and
to extol the virtues of the deceased.
When a birth or wedding occurs in
the family they expect the local
paper to give a glowing description
of the event.
When they are trying to build
churches or schools, the local paper
is asked to give them good, strong
puffs.
If there is a battle for right in the
precinct, the editor is expected to
bear the brunt of it.
Thus people are constantly re
ceiving favors from the looal paper,
but many fail to show their appre
ciation by subscribing for it.
Yet they cheerfully pay their
subscription annually in advance for
the New York Bazoo or the Phila.
delphia Barnstormer, which never
did any thing for them or their
commui ity.
The editor winds np with, Reader,
don't come into our offioo and ask
us to publish in your interest a per
sonal puff or a long winded obituary
claiming that you are to poor to take
this paper and asking for a dozen
free copies while your pockets are
stuffed full of story papers and
magazines, paid for in advance.
