February 1G, President Roosevelt
sent a special messago to the senato,

disbursement by the United States of
tho customs revenues of Santo Do
mingo. Few documents that have come
to the senate in relation to any of tho
South or Central American or West In
dia republics have attracted so much
attention. Because of the controversy
that has arisen as to the right of the
executive to enter into treaty arrange
ment with any foroign government
without advice and consent of tho sen
ate, extraordinary interest has been
aroused. The document came to the
senate at an hour past the usual time
for most senators to leave tho cham
ber and therefore it was brought soon
after the senato convened tho next day.

A Good Story
Senator Blackburn relates a story
of a lawyer in Kentucky who was gen
erally very fortunate in winning his
suits in the lower courts of that state
and equally unfortunate in losing
them by reason of reversals by the
supreme court of tho commonwealth.
One day the senator chanced to find
the lawyer in a train pulling out of
Louisville, and on tho attorney's knee
was spread a huge law volume, which
he appeared to be devouring with much
interest. "Well, my friend," said Mr.
Balckburn, "don't you get time enough
in your office to read law, without
fetching law books on a journey?"
The lawyer sniffed contemptuously.
"Thl3 Isn't a law that I'm reading,"
said he. "It's a volume, sah, relating
to tho decisions of tho supreme court
of tho state ' of Kentucky." Kansas
