That such a highway would be a fine thing many people agreed, but it could not get through congress. z Senator Culiom is entitled to. the credit of having inaugurated the plan which is now to bear fruit. The ven- erable Illinois senator, the early friend of Lincoln, said that before he passed away he would like to see the Lincoln memorial assured, and congress has responded to that wish. In the bill as it passed the senate Senator Cul- lom did not include his own name as one of the commission, but it was in- serted hy the house. Cullom is the ‘ only man now in public life who was associated with Lincoln. An Evidonco of Activity.

H “The house committee considered it i two weeks,” he said. “If the senate | gives it that much time the session | will be about gone. It would not re- | quire a filibuster to defent it. Ordi- | nary consideration would take all the time to March 4.” ‘ | Nothing In Sight For Alaska. “The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy and the mistaken idea about what is | i real conservation,” said Senator Ne! son of Minnesota, “have made it pri tically impossible to have ony legisle- | tion regarding the coal lands 2nd oth. | er resources of the country.” The Minnesota senator was speaking of the displacement of his bill looking to the leasing and development of coal lands in Alesha, and he also men- tioned the fact that Gifford Pinchot had announced himself as opposed to the measure. “It no longer concerns me,” contin ted Senator Nelson. “It is not a Min- nesota matter. I have done the best I could because it seemed a public duty, but the senate ‘has seen fit to re- | fuse consideration of the measure, and I will leave it alone.” Spanish War Pensions. Before the latest bill to pension ‘eivil war soldiers and widows was through the senate Congressman Sim- mons of New York introduced a_ bill which proposes to pension the widows | and minor children of soldiers who served in the Spanish war. It is doubt- ful if for many years at least there will be any such sentiment for grant- ing pensions on account of the Span- ish war as there has been for the other great conflict. Reciprocity Insurgents. Senator McCumber, a standpatter, and Senator Gronna, an insurgent, are lined up together against reciprocity with Canada. North Dakota feels that she has been peculiarly singled out for the worst of the hergain in the Cana- | dian agreement. 1 Senator McCumber stood by the last tariff bill like a valiant soldier and afterward made his campaign on the tariff, pointing out how the products of North Dakota were protected. .And now he observes that all those products are.on the free list for the only coun- try which is a possible competitor. And on this question McCumber becomes | an insurgent.

California did not usé any poetry in talking exposition but she got the votes. | feet,” replied Mann. tivity on the part of senators. Depth of Water Considered. Congressmzn Moore of Pennsylvani« is generally on the lookout when bridge bills are passed to see that nav- igation is not obstructed. A bill was up for » bridge across the Mississip- pi river at St. Paul, and Moore asked | Congressman Mann, whose committee reported the bill, if he could tell the depth of water at that point. “Somewhere between two and forty “It depends upon whether the water is high or low. There is more variation in the depth of the Mi sippi than in the Atlantic Then Moore asked about the com- merce of the river, to which Maun re- | plied, “There is more commerce there than there ever will be on the inland waterway you are ndvocating.” This was a shot at the Atlantic coast inland waterway, which is a_ pet scheme of the Pennsylvania member. They Do Not Like Us. “The people of Colombia,” said an official of this government who has spent several years in that countr: “have never forgiven the Americans for taking Panama away from them. They feel that this country not only aided the revolution, but promoted it from the beginning, taking from Co- lombia the honor of having the canal as well as the money paid for the right of way. I doubt very mucb whether the life of any unprotected American would be safe in Colombia. “Our diplomatic and consular officers are protected by the government of Colombia because that government is aware that an assault upon United States officials would accomplish noth- ing and mean being called severely to account. But the average American traveling in Colombia would do well to look after himself carefully if he wants to preserve his life.” An Old Adage Proved. A senator was talking to an empty chamber. One of his colleagues thought he ought to have more sen- ators to listen and had a quorum call- ed. As the call was concluded Sena- tor Dillingham of Vermont came out and remarked: “That illustrates the old adage that ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” They call- | ed us in to listen to that speech. We answered to our names, and now the senate is as empty as before. We have heard ali the talk on that subject that we need for this session.” Burton’s Bag In the Senate. The new senators are upsetting all traditions.. Senator Burton was seen going to his seat the other day with | one of those big leather legal bags | into which can be packed a large amount of senatorial paraphernalia. A few years ago the old senators would have frowned upon such a bag. If it had to be brought.in, then one of the employees of the senate should have toted it to the senator's desk. The Ohio senator has introduced an Innovation. And, what is a difficult matter in this connection, he is not the sort of 2 man that takes kindly to sen- atorial discipline.
