Millions of dollars nreyeai- he favor d a parcels post. This!' appropriated for navv yards statement coining from the sue - censor of Senator Thomas Piatt the President of a jireat express company and its representatives on the floor of the Tinted States Senate is most significant. The State of New York lias some d is tinguished men as repiesenta tives of the floor of the 1. S. Sen ate, as Cotikling and Steward. It has never had a more "experienc ed and thorough statesman than it will have in Senator Root. Put u little more than twenty working days of t lie present Con gressional session remain and at a joint council of the controlling party of the House and Senate it has been agreed to confine legis lation strictly to' appropria tion bills. The leaders or bosses of the Senate, AhJrieh, Hale, (!al linger and Elkins insist that there is barely time for a considera tion of the regular appropria tions. The President and some of theniembers ol the House are urging the passage of bills ad mitting Arizona nnd New Mexi co to statehood but the controll ing element in the Senate is not favorable to this measure. It has also been agreed that a ppocial session for the consideration of tariff revision will be called for the tenth of March, or six days alter inauguration. Of course Mr. Taft, who 's now in Panama, will have the final say as to this date or another but members of the House and the Seua'c after consultation with Senator Knox who is to be the ilea 1 of the Taft Cabinet have fixed upon March the tenth as a desirable early datelo begin work on the bill. It is also predicted that the special session will probably adjourn be fore 1 lie first :f July but ihereaie those who say thai it is m o re likely to be in session until the middle Vjf the summer. All the details of President Roosevelt's departure from Wash ington has been prearranged. He will as is customary ride with the President elect to theeapitoland there witness the inauguration ceremonies and perhaps ut tract as much attention as his succis?- or hut he will not return from the Capitol to the White House. In this respect he will depart from an old precedent. He will as a private citizen drive from the Cap itol immediately to the I'nion Station and take a train to Oys ter Ray. There yet remain to him about twenty days of his remark ably strenuous term and the Na vy Department just now is com ing in for his reforming, or as the boss Senators of his party will perhaps put it "meddlesome and mischief-making activity." There is no doubt a great deal of mil dewed red tane in use in the Xa- vy Department. Its management is by a cumbersome and nntiquu ted system. The President while Assistant Secretary of the Navy became aware of this and it is re markable that he lias put off changes and reconstruction un til the last month of his term. Now however he seems determin ed to set the ball rolling with the assurance that his successor as the devisee of the Rooseveltbm politics will carry this out also, j 1 It is to be hoped that he may.

It is perfectly well known that judges notoriously shirk their work. They often take the slight est excuse for opening courts later than the day set, and it is more often a t-ll mell rush to get through so that they can get a wav to "attend to a little pri vate business ." If all the judg es would do their duty as some of them do and try thecases that they put off either for their own convenience or on the frivolous requests of lawyers, there would be little congest i m of dockets. Add to this tu" creation of a lew local courts, to try minor cases, and there will be no need for more districts. Monroe Enquirer. The Secret Of Long Ltfe.

When.iudire Adams received j this letter, troni the President-, elect, he sat himself down a n d 'wrote him a long letter several ! pages ;:ivihg his version of the 'difference between the -party lea- 'decs' in the state.
