W1ASHINK5T0N—News that the su-
preme court of Georgia has declared
valid an act of the state legislature
prohibiting the manufacture of alco-
hol, has given fresh impetus to the
advocates of the bill Introduced in
the house, by Representative Robert
L. Lively of Texas, to amend the
statute under wh'ch the commission-
er of Internal revenue, through col-
lectors of internal revenue, Issues
special licenses for the wholesale and
retail sale of liquors. The Lively bill
which is now before the ways and
means committee, is endorsed by the
temperance people throughout the
United States, and during the past
few months members of congress
have received thousands of letters
and petitions from temperance soci-
eties in every state In tihe union, urg-
ing the passage of the bill, which,
they assert, will solve the temper-
ance question.
For many years advocates of pro-
hibition have had their efforts
thwarted by existing laws of the gov-
ernment. Many states have prohibi-
tion laws, some applying only to
counties, and others known as local
option. (But in no state <has a prohi-
bition law been uniformly success-
ful, "because of the fact that the fed-
eral government, through a collector
America will again be mistress of
the seas."'
It is an old saying in Washington
that a man who really possesses abil-
ity makes a great mistake by accept-
ing employment in the executive de-
partments, unless his purpose is to
avail himself of the splendid educa-
tional advantages of Washington,
and learn a profession by attending
night classes. There are many in-
stances where bright young men
from various sections of the country
have secured appointments in the ex-
ecutive departments, and, after serv-
ing Uncle Sam for a few years, have
resigned to enter upon a professional
career.
This Is the case of Representative
Jchn W. Langley of the Tenth Ken-
tucky district. Mr. Langley came to
Washington a little over twenty
years ago and obtained by a small
clerkship in the pension office,
through the influence of friends at
home. Mr. 'Cleveland entered the
White .House as president in 1893,
and following the Change of adminis-
tration Langley was soon relieved of
his official duties. When the time
for taking the census for 1900 rolled
around President MeKinley remem-
bered Langley and he was given a
first class ffice in the census bureau.
In the meantime Mr. 'Langley had
graduated at a law school here. He
kept in close touch with the leaders
of internal revenue, -will issue a fed- ■ o{ h)s pa(ry in h(s distrlct aIld folir
eral permit to sell liquor anywhere.
The records show in states where
prohibition prevails the arrest of
i
many offenders, because of the poses-
sion of a federal license, manage to
escape imprisonment by paying a
small fine.
The Lively bill would, it is believ-
ed, effectually put a stop to bootleg-
ging, blind tigers, speak-easies and
cozy corners. A man who takes the
risk of selling liquor in forbidden
territory without a federal permit, if
caught, would 'be tried in the state or
local court. No man who violates
the prohibition law of his community
would care to run the risk of mixing
up with the federal authorities, for
he knows a convicition in the federal
court for selling liquor without Un-
cle Sam's O. K. means a heavy fine,
confiscation of his liquor stock, and
imprisonment.
Representative Lively was elected
to fill the unexpired term of Repre-
sentative Gordon Russell, who was
appointed a federal judge last sum-
mer by Mr. Taft. Mr. Lively has tak-
en no particular part in the debates
in the house but has made a record
for committee work and for attend-
ing to the business of his constitu-
ents. He has a pleasing personality,
is well read and possesses a large
fund of valuaJble information, which
he ungrudgingly gives nis colleagues
when called upon. While he may not
see the placing of his bill on the stat-
ute books at this session, there is eve-
ry reason to believe he will read it
In the law before the expiration of
the next congress, although its en-
actment may reduce the receipts
from the internal revenue taxation.
Hut as the bill is said to be the public
solution of the temperance question,
which has agitated the country for
more than a half century, the de-
mand for Its passage by the temper-
ance people may not go unheeded.
"There is one sure way of building
up our merchant marine and restor-
ing tihe United States to the commer-
cial position it held before the civil
war, when we had almost the bulk of
the shipping of the world," said Rep-
resentative Frank Clark of Florida,
one of the democratic leaders of the
house. "The way to bring about this
much desired result," said Mr. "Clark,
"is to amend our navigation laws so
as to allow American register of all
ahips owned by American citizens
and corporations, no matter where
such ships were constructed. I do
not concur in the statement that
American ship-builders cannot com-
pete with foreign ship-builders; 1 re-
gard such assertions as pure subter-
fuge. The day has long since pass-
ed when foreign manufacturers can ;
turn out manufactured articles su-1
perior to ours. This is demonstrat-
ed in cur consular reports, which
show that the Ameican manufactur-
ers successfully compete in the mark-
ets of the world.
"And what I do not quite under-
stand is that an American citizen can
purchase aibroad many articles of
American manufacture 5 io 1per
cent cheaper than he eti at nome.
There is no reason to doubt that this
same condition can be found In the
ship-building industry. The day
that American register is grantee to
the foreign-built ships, all owned
and managed by American citizens
from that day will begin a new life
in American merchant marine, am1
It will be but a few short years wher
years ago he concluded to come to
congress.
!He went home ibefcre the begin-
ning of the campaign and, to the sur-
prise of the machine, Langley, before
the bosses realized it, was in control,
won the nomination and carried the
district by a big majority. He was
renominated and elected. He was
one of the few members of the pres-
ent congress who was able to weath-
er tihe November political cyclone, for
he was re-elected. Mr. Langley is
popular with his colleagues. During
the famous filibuster over the omni-
bus war claims bill he was called to
preside over the house for a few min-
utes. As speaker protem, his friends
occasioned much merriment by hurl-
ing parliamentary inquiries at him
calculated to embarrass a seasoned
presiding officer. But Langley was
equal to the occasion and turned the
laugh on this good-natured torment-
ors. In the cloakroom his friend*
now address him as "Speaker" Lang
ley.
With the passing of the Sixty-first
congress goes more than $1,000,000
in patronage to the democrats. Five
hundred and seventy-eight employes
of the house, new republicans, will
be succeeded by democrats or by
those endorsed by democrats.
The total annual salary of these
o78 is $744,333. Add to this sum
the salaries of eighty-four sfcreta"-
ies of eighty-four new democratic
members at $1,500 each and the
million is accounted for. South Trim
ble of Kentucky, who will probably
be the next house clerk, has seventy-
five offices at his disposal, an an-
nual salary list of $ 132,990.
Among these are a chief clerk at
$4,500, a journal clerk at $4,000
two reading clerks at $4,000 and board, whose duty it should be to ac-
THK BUST OONttltKSS—TAFT
ATLANTA, G.—Prsideut Taft in a
speech before the closing session of
the Southern Commercial Congress
made a plea to the young men of the
new South to take up the political
issues of the day front a broad and
liberal standpoint and to eliminate
from their consideration all narrow
partisanship and sectionalism. "Come
fully into our national communion,"
said the president.
The president reviewed briefly the
accomplishments of the Sixty-first
congress, declaring that in its three
sessions, it had ena ted more heip-
ful legislation than any other con-
gress since the Civil War. He re-
ferred to his aftiou in calling an ex-
tra session of congress to convene on
April 4.
"My opinion is," said Mr. Taft,
"that a majority of both houses, dis
regarding party lines, will secure so
great a national opportunity and
promptly ratify the agreement before
proceeding to other business."
Here the president paused for a
moment. Evidently he turned over
in his mind the democratic state-
ment that several of the tariff sched-
ules would be considered at the ex-
tra session.
"it," 'he added significantly, "It
be deemed wise or necessary to pro-
ceed to other business."
In the hope, perhaps that tariff
legislation may be avoided at the ex-
tra session, the president today
pledged himselfi to furnish to the
democratic house at its regular meet-
ing in December a report from the
tariff commiss'on on Schedule K of
the PaynenAldrich Act—of the wool
and woolens schedule.
"I have directed the tariff board,"
said the president, "to make a simi-
lare investigation of Schedule K, and
I hope to be able to submit the re-
sults of that investigation on the date
mentioned in the act."
In opening his speech the president
said:
"Good business is not everything
in life; the making and accumulation
of money should not be the chief end
of a community. There has been
danger in the past that the rush for
wealth would injure the moral fiber
of our people and degrade their ideals
and standards. Nevertheless, pros-
perity and the accumulation of
wealth, if the effort to acquire them
is not too absorbing, are very essen-
tial in the proper development of a
people and in the promotion of a
refining civilization.
"You have the race question in the
South; you have the question of effi-
cient labor. Both ere most serious
problems, but I believe as strongly as
I can believe anything that the solu-
tion is to be found in a system of
primary and industrial education of-
fered to every youth, male and fe-
male, white and black.
"One of the crying evils of the
present day is the expense of litiga-
tion. This congress has passed an
act making substantial reduction in
the cost of appealing casese from the
courts of first instan'-e to the courts
of appeal.
"Finally, and the most important
thing done by congress, was the rati-
fication of the treaty with Japan.
The old treaty was to expire in less
than a year. It contained a clause
with reference to migration which
offended the sensibilities of the Jap-
anese.
"A great disapointment was the
final defeat of a permanent tariff

SAN A NTONPO, Tex.—That Uncle
Sam expects 20,000 of his soldiers
to 'smoke up" while in camp at Fort
Sam Houston near this city to engage
in a three months military maneuver
was emphasized the other day when
5,000 pounds of a popular brand of
smoking tobacco was delivered at the
comissary. That the pipe is not pop-
ular with the soldiers was shown by
a large part of the cossignment con-
sisting of tobacco for cigarette pur-
poses. To insure that the "makings'
would be complete in all details, the
tobacco was accompanied by alm< st a
half ton of cigarette papers. This

all possible information as to the
cost of production of articles at home
and abroad, and all other facts rele-

this bill failed, however, provision

Sundry Civil Bill for the continu
ance of a board which I had already
created to make the same kind of in-
vestigation and to accumulate the
same kind of info-mation.

\\1 AiSmrNGTON—'The movement
looking to the development of the
internal waterways of the country,
begun more than a century ago, has
grown with the growth of the na-
t'on, until now nearly every commu-
nity, situated upon a navigable
stream, or one that tan be made
navigable, is demanding increased
facilities to move the products of
the mine, the factory and the farm
in view of the congested conditions
obtaining on our great railroad sys-
tems. This movement, small and
insignificant as it was at the begin-
ning, and looked upon as Utopian
and chimerical, has so broadened
the intensely practical subject of
transportation that states are be-
ginning to seriously consider the ad-
visability of lending aid to the fed-
eral government in providing the
money for the development of the
rivers, harbors and canals of contin-
ental United States, by granting
rights of way or the voting of bonds
for the development of state waters.
New Jersey, not to be outdone by
her sister state, New York, or by
1 is about half completed. When it
is finished it will connect the head
i of Barnagat flay and Cape May as a
continuous inland passage for boats
i of light draft, a distance of 117
miles. With improvements to in
I lets and artificial cuts it will even-
< tually be extended to New York har-
bor. Nor is this all that the folks
; of New Jersey are doing toward
improving their waterways. New
lark, which ranks among the pro
I grossive cities of the country, has
already under way plans for the bet-
terment of its water terminals which
will require the expenditure of mil-
lions of dollars. Jersey City is plan-
ning the development of a great har-
bor by utilizing the undevelop** 1
meadow lands along the HackeiL--
sack river, while Perth Am boy, Cam-
den and Trenton have joined the
advance for improved water trans-
portation and better facilities for
handling the Increased freight and
commerce which must, necessarily
follow in the wake of such develop-
ment.
Should the New Jersey legislature
Illinois, in recognizing the necessity l>ass the Leavitt resolution sanction-
of providing additional means ofii,1K further steps in the proposed a.
transportation for the bulkier i qulrement by the state of the ship
or,
freight, is seriously considering the
purchase of a strip of land some thir-
ty miles long, and ceding it to the
federal government for a ship canal,
connecting New York bay with the
Delaware river, one of the links of
the scheme of an inside waterway
from Maine to the Florida Keys.
So insistent have been the de-
mands upon the legislature of New
Jersey, by the business interests of
that sovereign commonwealth, urg-
ing an appropriation of a sum not
exceeding five hundred thousand
dollars, for the acquirement of the
land needed for the proposed canal,
by condemnation or purchase, that
a senate hearing was accorded to a
number of representative men last
week at the state house In Trenton,
including Representative J. Hamp-
ton Moore of Pennsylvania and J. II.
Small of North Carolina Governor
Woodrow Wilson sat with the com-
mittee throughout the hearing and
ahowed an interest that both sur-
prised and pleased his New Jersey
friends, the former head of Prince-
ton, not having heretofore manifest-
ed any particular familiarity with
the subject of waterways and their
betterment.
The hearing was on a resolution
of Senator l^eavitt which provides
for an appropriation of half a mil-
lion dollars to be used In obtaining
the right of way for a canal across
the state when the government of
the United States shall finally de-
termine the route, "said right of
way to be ceded to the government
upon condition that when said canal
is completed it shall be free and
open to the commerce of the world,
without tolls or charges for the pass-
• •« of vessels or freight thereon."
New Jersey, in keej.'v^ 5tep with
many of its sister states, at this
time is building a coastwise canal
from Bay Head, at the head of Barn-
agat Bay to Cape May. This canal
Is 100 feet wide and 6 feet deep and

it would have great bearing on con-

A certain man Tn town has long
wanted to write bo k of arithmetic
problems based on history, current
events, and industrial statistics and
suitable for supplementary use with
any text-book.
One evening just before Christ-
mas he concluded to begin and pick-
ed his evening paper to study cur-
rent events. One news item that he
noticed informed him that a prom-
inent dealer in automobiles in New
York was to deliver at Christmas
gifts to sons of wealthy fathers a
large number of automobiles rang-
in price from $2,000 to $10,000.
Another boy who was the son of a
railroad president, was to have plac-
ed in his yard a complete minature
railway system with real locomotives
trains, stations, switches, signals,
etc., which was to cost several thou-
sand dollars, die read in another
column of ten thousand children
of striking miners in Pennsylvania,
who were living 'in huts and tents
and who were being told <by their
parents that Santa Clans was on a
strike too so they would not be dis-
appointed when they did not get any
toys and had to do without enough
food and warmth on Christmas day.
Then our friend concluded to
take a walk. On passing a large
store, which was brilliantly lighted
to display a lavish profusion of
' hristmas goods, he noticed some
red, shivering children with their
ild little noses flattened against
' nlate glass looking wistfully at
the display • ithin, and he heard one
little fellow say: -flanta Ola us is a
partial old thing anyway. j|f. will
give some boys rifles and b; > •
but I'll do well If I get an banana
and a little sack of taffy. Mollis
wants that big doll that shuts its
eyes, but she'll get a sacflt of pea-
nuts and a five cent hair ribbon.
The man went back Lome and
read some more current events, some
history, and some industrial stat's-
tics. Then he forgot all about his
book and pondered until bed time
on some problems that were n t
arithmetical. After retiring he
dreamed of writing his book. Since
it will likely never be published, we
give a small part of it below:
1. If a boy gets an automobile
costing $3,000, how many boys
might get bicycles costing $25 each
f<.r the same amount?
2. IT boy 'plea jure u worth 10
cents a day, what is the profit or
loss in five years on the investment
for the boy with the automobile,
and for boys with bicycles? What is
the difference?
3. If food and toys worth $1.50
would make one of the 10,000 chil-
dren of the Pennsylvania strikers
happy on Christmas day, how many
New York boys would have to give
up $r> 000 toy railway systems to
make tuem all happy?
4. Jf an American heiress buys a
foreign title for $1,000,000, pays
off a mortgage of $500,000 on a di-
lapltated castle, and pays $100,000
of her new husband's gambling
debts, and gets a degenerated duke,
a crippled count, or a pauper prince
thrown In, how many people new liv-
ing in rented homes could pay for
homes of their own with the amount
of her wedding expenditures, If we
count each home at $4,000 and five
persons to the family.
5. The wife of an American mil-
lionaire in a recent suit for divorce
and alimony swore that she could
not dress properly on less than $40,-
000 per year. IHow many shop girls,
stenographers and school teachers
would this dress when th«y would
be glad to have $125 per year for
clothes?
6. We are Informed that the gov-
ernment is building a few Dread-
naughts at a cost of about $10,000,-
000 each. iHow many beautiful and
sanitary country school houses at
$2,500 each could be built for the
price of one of these life destroyers,
and how many children could go to
these schools each year if we count
32 children to the school?
7. An American steel manufact-
urer recently gave $10,000,000 to
promote the peace of the world. If
he made a profit of $50,000 on each
warship built by the government,
how many warships did the U. H.
have to build to promote war and
to yield him one-half of his recent
gift? Mow many of the Homesten 1
i;on workers had to have their wage
reduced say one dollar a week foM
ten years to make up the other hajf
of the gift.
V 'Another multi-millionadre has
just given $10,000,000 to a universi-
ty already having twenty-five mil-
lions. How many homes could be
furnished the library of books nam-
ed and priced below for one
this amount?
Ida Tarbell's History of the Stan-

Progress and Poverty, 50c.
How manly village high school at.
$20,000 each could be built and fur-
nished with the above books for the
other half of his gift?
Now if you teachers do no want
to try these on your pupils, you
might assign them to a lot of grow l
up people who ought to begin o
thiink about such problems as these
aud others suggested by them.
