THE It A LEW W EVENING TIMES. VOLUME 27. SECOND SECTION. RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1906. PAGES 9 TO 12 PRICE 5c WASHINGTON HAPPY OVER DEPARTURE OF CONGRESS a - (Special to The Kvenlner Times l WashlnRton, July 7. That W. J. llryan Is still the bigRCst luminary in the presidential shy nt present, so far ns tlio south is concerned, would seem plain from the eampnitrn speech deliv erel by a southerner Representative UnrRess of Texas during the closing hours of tho session. Said Mr. Ilur. gess: "Wc shall nominate as our standard hearer In IflflS that man who has stood for years for every popular contention advocated by tho present occupant of the white house; for In tho language of the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky In this house, Hon. Ollie JT. James, there is not a single issuo ad vocated by Theodore Roosevelt that 4s popular with the American people to day but that bears 'tie bloody stain of Bryan's faithful feet.'" Of course, a cheerful indulgence in the' harmless pastime of listening to tho buzzing of the presidential bee is tho nnlyexeitement left to Washing tnnian stay-at-homes during the sum mer, but Air. Bryan's resolution to mix in no way with the friends of trusts nt the reception to be given him on his homecoming, shows that this bee nt least may have a sting. Figures just given out on the per centage of homicides in the United Stales show some , alarming although interesting results. Human life, com paratively speaking, grows chenper every year. The figures in question show that the homicides per -million inhabitants in Panada are 3; in Eng land 10; in France 14; and in' the Uni ted States 120. When the figures are considered by groups of states, they show that homicides are most preva lent in the southern and Pacific states, whore they number 11 and 14 per 50,000 inhnbitnnls respectively, while in New ISngland the number is less than three per 50,000. It is pointed out, however, that In spite of the high per centage -of the south, it is not duo to a racial question, although the proper explnnntion has not as yet been found. . Although the politicians have flown from Washington, the -city feels that it is recompensed, nt least in part, the ...degree varying with one's politics, by the coming- of a large collection of wild- fowls to be liberated in Hock frock Park. Some, indeed, have been so unkind as to srfilo that the birds which are coming are better than those which have left, in that the former of municipal ownership of various pub-!cllned to believe that this discrepancy tho flat country, covering five or six lie utilities!

Various kinds of domes tic swans, geese, and ducks constitute the new acquisition, and they are to be given the freedom of the city. It is also planned to stock nil the city parks with squirrels, and to place swans at tho bathing bench, so that the city will more than ever add to Ha charm of rural openess. A little more than n year ago when the Internationnl Transportation Con gress wns held in this country, there waji little indication of the course of tho session of congress just ended. Hut curiously enough, just ns previous congresses have been remembered by names chnractistic of their industry, so It seems that die Fifty-ninth Con gress will be known as tho "Trans portation congress. That this is In a way due to the international gathering of last year cannot be doubt ed, for the discussions of that body showed that this country was wofully defMont in Its ability to take advan tage of that cheapest of all forma of freighting that is, by water. In pari, I the name which soeins likely to cling to the-Fifty-ninth Congress Is due of course to railway regulation, but back of that seems to be a real desire for a scheme of waterway Improvement which will not leave us the laughing stock of Kurope so far as this form of transportation is concerned. That the improvements which the organization known as the National Itivers and Harbors Congress Is working would mean a saving of hundreds of millions to the country, cannot be doubled, and when the people of the counlry are once brought to a realization of this there can be no doubt that congress will make the appropriation of $r.0, 000,000 which Is needed for the work and which will bear fruit a hundred fold. If, as is honed, it falls to tho lot of the Fifty-ninth Congress to make these appropriations as a result of popular desire for lower freights, that body will Indeed become tho transpor-1 tat ion congress. j .-' :" . .

All ot them, placed in a line would reach goodness knows how many times around the earth, and so on. But it Is true that there has been a great boom In llag making since the Spanish war, the smaller ones being in great demand for table decorations, favors and the like. No one knows how many of those small musllii affairs are stamped out yearly, but an indication is given in the fact that one New York ooncorn alone produces 57,000 a (lay. 9 Considerable interesting discussion has been going on among those . re maining at tin- Capitol this week over the discovery that while the Journal of the House shows the adjournment of congress as of the legislative day of June 29, that of the senate shows the date June 30.
