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

t make less disturbance and tend strictly
to business. 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

Considerable interesting discussion
has been going on among those . re
