The IIoiiHton bill, which passed the
house, leaves to the legislatures ot
the different states the power to re
ai range the congressional districts In
their respective states on the new
population basis of one member for
each 211,877 of Inhabitants.
Americans are doing more for the
children of Guam and the Philippine
Islands than for those In the South
om mountain districts of this country
declared Miss Martha 8. Glclow ol
Washington at the International Con
gress on Child Welfare here. She
said children In the Southern moun
tains were often compelled to walk
seven miles to school. More than
fcur million American children, she
said, were being brought up without
educational facilities of any sort.
After declaration that annexation li
the desired end of tho Democrats Ic
pushing reciprocity and a speech by
a new member, revealing rumors ol
a tariff ttght in congress featured the
debate on the free list bill. Mr. Prince
ol Illinois (Hep.) sounded the annexa j
tion note. President Tail's speech lu
New York furnished his text. He
said the pouring of Americans intc
tho Canadian northwest and the at
titude of the Democratic party could
mean nothing else than annexation.
Attorney General Wlckersham will
appeal to the Supreme court to bus
tain the so-called "corner counts" in
the government's Indictments of Su
gene C. Scales, James A. Patten, Wll
limn P. Drown, Frank It. llayne and
Robert M. Thompson; charged with
leading the May cotton corner ofl'JlC
on the New York cotton exchange.
Judge Noyes, in tho United States
circuit court for the southern district
of New York, sustained all of the
count: of the indictment except those
charging a corner to fix the price ol
raw cotton. He condemned the prac
tlce unreservedly, but held It did not
come within the Jurisdiction of the
law upon which the indictments wer?
based . Attorney General Wicker
shams appeal is from that part ol
the decision.
Speaker Clark does not agree witb
Senator Hoot that congress is likely
to adjourn by June 1. At tho white
house where he said he had talked
"neighborhood gossip" with Mr. Taft
Mr Clark declared that nobody in tlx
world knew how long congress would
be here. "I know as much about il
as Senator Knot, and he knows as
much about it as 1 do." said Mr
Clark "I have attended two speciai
sessions of congress called to revise
the tariff which lasted Into August
There you are."
Under the reapportionment bill
which for the second time passed the
house of representatives, tho size o!
that body is increased to -U3 mem
bers, giving Georgia one addltlona
member. The measure goes to the
senate to try its fato there. At th<
last session the svnate failed to ap
prove thi> increase In the size of th<
lewer branch of congress What P
will do this time Is somewhat prob
lematlcal, but the strong hope Is en
tertalned that the senate will permit
tho hotvse membership to have iti
way in this regard.
The reported declaration of Ramot
Corral, vice president of Mexico, thai
Americana were fomenting trouble li
his country to force Intervention, hat
encountered the disfavor of the Unit

partment has callod the matter tt
the attention of ^Mexico to ealablisl
officially wheher tho Interview wltl

mcnts are said to have been made

How to Write Governor's Name.
I Probably nut ten out of the thou
sands of people who have written
; Governor Mease's name in the last
i several months know that after the
first name, "Cole.," there should be
a period. Governor Mease signs his
narno that way, taking urood care
' often to place the period after "Colo.,"
without waiting to finish out the
1 whole signature.
"Cole.," Is the abbreviation for Cole
man, and therefore, should be written
with the proper punctuation mark
! after it, just as Kdw."
