Mr. Small declsred that the rural service was being discriminated against and that while the department did not hesitate to create a deficiency In one branch of the service, It was declining to spend $1,700,000 of the appropriation allowed by congress for an laeraase In the rural routes. He asserted that when congress provided for additional service Its will should not be thwarted by executive action. Oprit- Air School* No linger Merc "Fad." (Prom the Survey.)

(Washington i'm r? sp.oul.oici? in Brooklyn Eagle.) Speaker Cannon yesterda> gave a marvelous demonstration of the pow? er vt oratory over men and of his ability to get votes. With the meas? ure known as the "pension grab" hanging in the balance, Cannon left the Speaker's rostrum and in a 10 minute speech electrified the House and Jammed the bill through so ex? peditious!)' that nobody demanded a roll call. It was the first time the Speaker has taken the floor since his notable speech for a duty on oil during the tariff fight, on which occasion his ap? peal was In vain. There la something curious about the Cannon oratory. When read in cold type his speeches never seem wonderful. As delivered by the vet eran statesman they have a peculiar charm and compelling Influence. As Chevalier's song has it, "It Is the way he does It." The shaking of his griz? zled head, waving of his left arm and graceful, and at the same time awk? ward, swaying and bending his body to emphasize his utterances all serve to Impress the listener with the fact that Mr. Cannon is a speaker of rare force. The bill will add $45,000,000 to the yearly cost of pensions. Wholesale cowardice was shown In the vote which put the bill through. On every hand membera were heard saying that the legislation was an outrage and a piece of political Jobbery. A great sigh of relief went up when no one demanded a roll call, and the Speaker declared the bill was passed. Many folks here are wondering why Mr. Longworth was picked out to introduce the Administration tariff commission measure Men like Bever Idge, Cumjnlns, Lenroot and several others were In favor of the tarbf com? mission and were fighting for it long before Mr. Longworth came to Con? gress. It Is not recalled that the Ohio man ever made himself obnox lous to the standpat Republicans by advocating a scientific revision of the tariff through the medium of a com mission of experts.

It was noted by keen observers that af? ter Mr. Roosevelt left the White House Mr. Lodge rarely visited that historic place. He kept away during the long period of absence of his frend. the Colonel. Those who were curious to know Just what Colonel Roosevelt thought of President Taft sought to And out from Senator Lodge. The latter was getting frequent malls from Africa. It was thought that If Koos, wit w re to blow cold on Mr. Taft Lodge would do likewise. As the latpT gave the White House a wide berth, It was concluded bv the wise ones that mat? ters between the two other men were not running as smoothly as they might. Now Mr. Lodge calls frequently at the White House. He Is to champion the Taft tariff commission measure and perhaps he may be rel" rred to as the Administration mouthpiece lr the Senate. To be sure, Lodge Is fighting hard for re-el<?ctlon and my get some advantage If word goes out that be stands wei? with the Federal admin? istration.

Director Durand Sayn Acting Director Labored l'ndcr Misapprehension, and Mr. bsvet Mav Inspect Census Heturns?Protest by Our Congress mau Produced Quick Results. The attempt of the Census Bureau to ignore the protest of Congressman Lever respecting the census of Sumter and to cut him off short when he ask Sd the privilege of inspecting the re? turns Of the enumerators who took the census of this city has fallen flat, Director Durand having executed a quick right about face when Lever got straight behind him with a joint resolution requiring the Director of the Census to permit, under proper restrictions, the inspection of census returns. Mr. I*ever has scored a dis? tinct triumph over the red tape of the Census Bureau In 'the Sumter cose. The following letter illustrates the slde-sicpplng agility of Director Du? rand Whan he gets in a close place: Washington, D. C, Jan 18, 1911. Hon. A. F. Lever, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Lever: In reply to your oral inquiry re? lative to the letter addressed to you under date of January 12 by the Act? ing Director of the Census Bureau; I beg to say that one paragraph In that letter was written under a misappre? hension and does not correctly state the policy of this Bureau. The letter stated that, because of the confidential character of the census returns, per? mission could not be granted to In? spect them. It is true that the de? tails of the census returns are confi? dential and that access to them ?will not be given for the purpose of secur? ing details for any purpose which could in any way tend to injure the Individuals furnishing information. It has always been the policy of the Bureau, however, to permit Inspection, under proper conditions, of the names and addresses on the schedules, for the purpose of determing whether or not a complete enumeration has been made. I am entirely willing that any duly accredited representatives of the city of Sumter should Inspect the returns for that purpose here In Washington, or to furnish a copy of the list of names secured, on payment therefor. The Turin : statement contained In ih< tetter of ?h. Acting Direct r. how ever, that it would be In possible to ? 4 thS announced population of the city of Sumter, !s entirely correct. It la possible that, under these conditions, It may not be considered worth while to Inspect the schedules, although there is certainly no objection to such Inspection. Very respectfully, E. Dana Durand, Director. ?When buying a cough medicine for children bear In mind that Cham? berlain's cough remedy is most ef? fectual for colds, croup and whoop? ing cough and that it contains no harmful drug.

Ii STATE TAX LEVY FIVE MILLS. Estimate Submitted to General As? sembly by Comptroller General. Columbia, Jan. 20.?A tax levy of tlve mills will be necessary for the State Government of South Carolina, according to an estimate prepared and sent to the General Assembly by Comptroller General Jones. This es? timated levy for this year is three fourths of a mill legs than the levy for 1910. The five mills levy will be suffi? cient, if the estimated expenditures are not exceeded. The estimated expense of the Gov? ernment of South Carolina for 1911 will be $1,642,000, according to Com? ptroller General Jones. This is an in? crease of $94,649.84 over 1910.
