' Cline Tells of Congress. : - ('l)rigl‘ess’llun Cline 'ret'urned' from Wishington early last week.. To a reporter of. tlie Fort"Wuyrie-fhmr‘nul" who visited him jat Angola he expressed himsell as;well satisfied with the :wmmplishmen‘Ls of the present democratic house.” He said: “Although one of the longest sessions in the x\'lmle'histm'y of the government, it marks the beginn‘ing of a ' distinet period in_ legislation. The present congress met the expectation of the people. 1 have been unable toobserve in the independent press of the coun‘try any eriticism of our labor, We are: unusually commended by the patriotic. citizenship of the'cmmtry i'<fr our.course. -We have __w)i('-..e('l that national progressive sentiment of the country that has’ beén unablefor fourteen years to speak except through the democratic - party.

Ci o e .“The country had become. aroused by the hampering and restricting influences of ‘Cannonism.” We very promply Hberalized the rules of the house.'

Mr. Penrose stated in the senate ‘the other day that William Flinn, of Pittsburg, offered him $1,000,000 to use his influence for Flinn's eleéction to 'the senate.

: Carnegie and Peace. . -Andrew Carnegie is raising a hullabaloo bécause somebody praised: Pitisburg’s part in . the manufacture of equipment for fighting ships. ' “Pittsburg’s -triumphs are those of peace,” writes Aridrew. Strange he was not, so wrapped up in peace in the years gone by when he, was piling -up millions -out of the manufacture of steel for Uncle Sum’s warships. Wasn't it Carnegie’s hirelings who shot down the Homesteadgtrikers in cold bload when they tried to organize .a union at the steel mills? - He ‘wasn’t so peaceful then! , ; - AN . Meat Prices Here and Abroad. | ~ On Friday, August 24, prime sirjion of beef sold in London for 194 cents per ponnd,-andiin New York for 25 cents per pound. Just at present meat prices are higher in this country than ever before, while the identical cuts that bring such ligh prices here are sold in London for.about two fthirds as much. This despité the water haul of 3,000 miles, and the two rail hauls, first. from Chicago to the Atlantic sea board, and from Liverpool to London.

. - Cold School Wagons. Down near Tipton they seem ito be havinga row.abbut that more or less malodorous institution known as the school ‘wagon. At this distance it would seem as if the local heéalth offi¢er were trying to getalittle cheap advertizing. Complaints seem to have been made to the effect that some childrens froze their feet while going to school in the regular school wagon Any way. the health officer has written to Dr. Hurty, Secy..of the State Board of Health, to tell him about children suffering from frozen feet. IHere is his letter. )

I am Writing you in behalf of some of my patients on county school routgs. During last winter I had several children with frozen feet under'my treatment, frozen to such’ an extent that they could not wear their shoes. These children never had fiozen nor frosted feet when they walked to séliool, only last winteir when. they had'to be taken in the wagon. The driver had a small oit stove for his own use, which ue kept between hig feet. '-~ ° - * Theséschool patrons wish t¢ know if the law is such that these wagons must be Jieated. They also wish to ]\'flpw. Irow the trustee should diire these drivers., On one route two:responsible but rather needy patrons wish to bid for the driving, but the trustee gives the driving to his son who. in turn, gets young, irresponsible boys. to drive. The folk have asked me these things because I have been: connected with the city and county health boards. Therefore 1 take liberty in writing you. believing you can give the most satisfactory answer,”’ _ o e Of course Health Chief Hurty could tind no law to compel wagon -drivers to keep vehicles heated, but likewise of course the local health officer had the right to protect I,ll,_(3"v('itiy.cns when their health is threatened by such a system. - No doubt the next legislafure will be called upon to correct this condition. lln 11110 meantime the Tipton-tempest in a'teapot wi‘]l rage witlt ever inereasing fury ‘much ‘to the advartage of school attendance in that vicinity. But. what matters it so long as the doctors are kept on the map. ' B

Post Master General's View of New Law. WAsHINGTON, Aug. 29, Plans were perfected by DPostmaster General litcheock today whereby the adininistrationgof tlie new law prohibiting the delivery of -mail on Sundays will have no serious effect upon the handling of fimportant mail matter. , Holders of Tock boxes. at first and second class postoftices. will have accessto them as ustal, although no mail deliveries will be made by carriers on the street or af postoflice windows.. - ' ' Afiter all-day conferences. with rthe experts of his department, Jostmaster General Hitcheock tonight issued A statément explanatory of his administration of the new law. Orders necessary to carry Mr. Hiteheoek’s plans into -.effect will: be isSued immediatély. The postmaster general’s statgment follows: “There seems to be sonie misapprehiension as_ regards -the provision in the postal bill relating to the delivery of “mail on Sundays. The proyvision does not require the closing of postoftices on Sundays, which would be quite impossible. owing to -the fact ‘that the transit“mail has to be sorted, and also the mail collected in cities for dispatch te other destinations. To stop the movement of this mall would mean a serious clogging of the whole system of majl transportation and consequent inconvenience to the public. - % SAL present, most of .the mail received on Sunday for delivery by carrier Monday morning is worked after midnight or Sunday and,. therefore, the law will not affect. this mail. It will ‘be delivered as promptly as hitherto: Mail received up to midnight on-Saturday for.lock boxes "“will be available te box holders im Sunday as usual. ) et g, R

- Popular Government. - : - In his speech of acceptance DPresident Taft said the great issue before the people was the retention of *‘popular constitutional representative government.” " It never occurred to Mr. Taft that the greatest, period of unrest in this country since war days has been brought about by the millionaire trugt owners” who, while shouting about popular goveérnment, have made a farce of '(fmmnnn, everyday justice. The ayne-Aldrich tarifl tax. which Mr. Taft signed, did more Lh:m any other one thing to make the make the people disatistied with the particular brand of ‘\"pupulzlvr constitutional representative government’” that Mr, Taft and his aides have administered. - :
