WASHINGTON LETTER Important Deings at the National Capital By Clyde H. TavetiDer, Special Washington fornwpoudeut ol The Courier. Washington, Feb. 7. The votes of senators who have been defeated at the polls, bat who are still serv ing time in Congress, enabled the Senate to pass the $4,000,000 "ship subsidy grab ' bill. Under the terms of this measure, 4,000,000 will be taken from the treasury of the United States each jear that it remains in force, and will be paid over to private ship owners who are already millionaires, in order that ships flying the Ameri can flag can operate with profit. The 4,000,000 is to all practical ends a gift, but is paid nnder the guise of compensation for the carry ing of mail. The bill was passed over the, pro test of every Democratic senator in the chamber, and over the protest of 13 Republicans. It was 'a re markable victory for the discredited "old guard," but probably the last one, m the indications are that the combined Democratic and Progres sive Republican forces will win ont oa the direct election of senators and the ousting of Lorimer. If the vote showed anything, it demonstrated once more the on. soundness of the system of allow ing member of Congress, either representatives or senators, to legis late after having been repudiated by the people at the polls. The votes of the two Michigan senators affords a striking example. Barrows, de feated and soon to be ont of public life, voted for the subsidy bill, while Smith, who has a lone term of ser vice before him, voted against it. "I protest aginst the Senate, as at present constituted," Declared Sena tor Owen of Oklahoma, "exercising the powft to fix a subsidy amount, tag to millions of dollars upon the American people, for the sound reason that on the 6th of November last the American people repudiated the 61st Congress now in session, sad elected a very different set of men. "They hot only ehose different set of men, Mr.' President, bat they chose a set, of men notoriously oppos ed to ship subsidy. I concede, Mr. President, that this Congress has the legal right, but it has no moral right, it has no ethical right, 'jn good conscience to pass ar-' jaw which would not be passf . the newly choaen representee of the people.- Such condpfct it identicai 'te,??A".!&' an agent who, knowing that 9'? successor had been appointed, should make haste to commit his principal to a policy he knew was obnox'ous his successor, before the latter conld arrive as a physical fact. "What right, has this, the 61st Congress, having been repudiated by the people, to pass appropriation bills amounting to a thousand mil lion dollars and fix the fiscal Solicy of the United States up to uly 1, 1912, when this Congress ; had been repudiated in November, '1910? Is this fair and right? "It is my judgement that the pro per conduct for this, the third ses sion of the 61st Congress is to pass an act declaring that all future con gresses shall meet on the first Mon day in December after tbe regular biennial elections; that the 62 nd Congress shall meet immediately up on tbe adjournment of the 61st Con gress, and . that the 61st Congress, do now adjourn." Senator Owen, who is constantly on the firing line for progressive legislation, has come to be known as one of the most advanced thinkers on the Democratic side of the Senate. The Progressive Republican League adopted many of the things Owen . has contended for. It was Senator Owen who propounded tbe query: "If the people rule, why don't they get what they want?" Favor Recall'For Jadges General Isaac R. Sherwood, who represents the Ninth Ohio district in Congress with great satisfaction to his constituents if his increased plurality in the recent election is an indication, is against the proposition to increase , the salaries of federal judges from $7,000 to $10,000 a year. ..' Be does not think increased salaries will result in any better judicial decisions, if the result of the increases in tbe pay of army, navy 'and cabinet officers is a guide. Instead of increasing the salaries f the federal judges. General Sher wood favori the initiative, referea dam and recall. Ho w - the federal j adges have grown into the 'habit of abusing ' their powers was set ont in a striit irg manner by tbe Ohio man. The rst judicial act that he critic sed was that of Judge Taft in the Ann JLiboz case, which, General. Sher rood says, was condemned by all rtudenU of political, economy and ty nearly all the reform writers aad tLinkers. Tbe General has a list of 40 cases which federal judges have decid i 1 n favor of corpontioni and t - i the workers. In come cases he shows tbe courts have even gone 83 far as to restrain wage earners from free locomotion and free as semblage, and, in some instances, against giving financial assistance to the families of worker striking for a living wage. "The evils we complain of," de clared General Sherwood, "cannot be temedied by raising the salaries of iudges with tbe view . or securing etter judges. The only remedy is to make all judges directly amenable to the people and elected by the people, with limited terms of service and subject to recall by the people." Newspaper Men Like Wilson Woodrow Wilson, Governor of New Jersey, made a decided hit with the newspaper men of Wash ington daring his two days' visit. In his speech at the National Press club and in little interviews there after the Governor of New Jersey represented a miracle to the political writers of the national capitol. They found at last a man who ad vocated absolute publicity in public affairs, who decried the policy of concealment on the part of office holders and who said that the Kjple's business was too often ndled by individuals as though it were private business. In sizing up the Governor, also, the 290 newspaper men who faced him found an unaffected man. He was easy and direct. He answered any question pat to him freely, with never a suggestion of the politician's apology. "I'm sorry, bat I can't say anything about that," uoctor misoa was wia tnat nis arguments against a committee on committees, cited in his book on "Congressional Government," had been used at a recent Democratic caucus. "That book was written a firood many years ago," said Doctor Wilson, "when I had never even seen Con gress." These answers were typical of the Governor and his attitude; no cj'n. cealment, no pretense, do affectation. And the men who met nis, er treated to constant exhibitions of fine, manly courtesy whont a sug gestion of insincerit """ty-Yeare Together Thirty v UM-ui.ti,;nb f it How Uj-erit 4 good thing Manda mt in t"7U-or the worthloaineeg of a bad ,ne So there's no guess work in thia evi dence of Thoa.

Indirectly through unnecessary eost of trans portation, bad road making costs us approximately $250,000,000 a year. It costs the American farmer two or three times as much to haul his track to market as it does the. farmer of Europe, where roads are good. In France the highways carry one and a third times as much freight as do the railroads. In America it is just the other way. The railroads carry three times as much produce as do the public roads. Farmers, it is for you to become advocates of whit will benefit you. Be persistent advocates of good roads. And speak to your neighbors about tbe matter. The above suggestions and good advice is given by the Winston Sentinel. , Tbe great need of our farmers to-day is better roadsL and the farmer who is opposed to good roads, even at any cost, is simply standing in his own light.

Let no in no cent life in our city be quenched again in useless pain through our igno rance and Bin. May we who are mothers or fathers seek eagerly to join wisdom to our love, lest love it self be deadly when unguided by knowledge. Bless the doctors and nurses, and all the friends of men, who are giving of their skill and de votion to the care of our children. If there are any who were kissed by love in their owa infancy, but who have no child to wbom they may give as they have received, grant them such largeness of sympathy that they may rejoice to pay their debts in full to all children who may have need of theoa. Forgive ns, our Father, for the beartlessness of the past. Grant us great tenderness for all babes who suffer, and a growing sense of the divine mystery that is broodingn the soul of every child.

For protecting wells, springs and cisterns Mr. Fuller advocates, first of all,, a water-tight lining to keep out surface ' water. Wells and springs should always be covered and protected from animals, uubi ana fallino- laea. Waterine troughs should always be located safe dis tance away, though (be custom pre vails in country districts of having well and trough side by side.

This is equal to more than one-fourth of the scnool fund from the regular county and s ate sources. Tbe different special tax districts have voied upon themselves a special tax rate of tea to thirty centB on property ana tnirty to ninety centi oa the poll. From this source the different districts have received all the way. from $4 J. 50 to $1296 res'pectivtly. This helps to increase tbe s:Lool term from one to foor months. But this increase of school term is not the only great help to tbe schoo1; it enables the schools to obtain a hig.ier priced teacher, thus giving much better instruction. A laige cumber of people think a tour montn s t.rm unuer pron cient teaching is worth mere than a seven or e'ght mouth's term in . the Old fashioned way." I here is much truth in this, but without this special tax a unjirity of our rural schools need Dot hope very soon for a greater length of term or a better ?rade of teaching.
