A second thing is to inspect govern ment reservations like lellowstono Park and the Philippine fortification. The third thing to be dune is to make ones self believe the trip really has n useful purpose and that the govern ment is getting something out of it.. In order tp perform the latt part of this triple task, every Republican mem ber leaves aa a self-appointed member of some auh-eommittee of the Houso or Senate. Congressman Small has no compunctions whatever about the trip, he will soon he out of Congress, but if he did have, his reason for wniug is as good as that of the next member, he could, as ranking Democrat on the rivers and harbor committee, appoint himself a subcommittee of one to in spect the San Francisco harbor.
