THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 21 , 1906 Washington Notes. Washington , Dec. 8 , ' 0 ( > Seldom hits a session of con gress in recent years started oil \rith such , ' ( rrent activity and with so many qiiestious of vital public imprest in the fore , as the session which opened on last Monday. Scarcely had the sound of the vice-president's jfavol teased to echo through the halls of the Capitol calling the senate to order , and the inarticulate words of the venerable chaplain , Edward lOvcrett Hale pronounced the opening prayer , when Sena tor Penrose of Pennsylvania , and Senator Foraker of Ohio were clamoring for recognition in order that they might introduce resolutions calling for an investi gation into the matter of the dis- cliarge of colored troops by Pres ident Roosevelt. All precedents were cast aside in offering these resolutions , and the almost in decent haste exhibited in getting them before the senate caused much comment. Almost simul taneously with Mr. ' introduction of his resolution ] came the news of the formation of colored Foraker's chilis in Ohio and the starting of the endless chain letter booming that gentle man for the presidency. There is no doubt but the incident of the discharge of the colored troops is being used to advance the interests of some of the can didates for the seat in the White House. Hearings have been going on almost daily for the last two weeks in many of the committees xnd the work of the session is farther advanced than usual at this stage of the proceedings. Many of the great supply bills arc about ready to be brought into the house It is stated by those old in the service here that by the time of the adjournment for the holiday recess more will luve been accomplished than has been done before the recess for in. uiv years. The statemcn from the Pacific s/ope have been greatly agitated over the admission of the Japa nese to the schools in California. The President's message caused no little unfavorable comment among the "Westerners'1 it apparently gave the Japs the best of it. Later developments , howcr , indicate that an adjust ment will speedily be arrived at in the shape of a new treaty be I ween the United States ana Japan under the terms of which the undesirable element of the Japanese will be barred from this country and the school question settled agreeable to the wishes of the states affected. Numerous bills have been in troduced which arc intended to make more effective the railroad rate law and the anti-trust laws. The packers also seem destined to come in for another drubbing this winter , as Senator llcvcridge has introduced a bill requiring the date to be placed on all labels. This is particularly ob jectionable to the packing house interest. The Nebraska delegation in congress arc working industri ously for the passage of the bill to divide the state into two judic ial districts. Senators arc being ueluged t with petitions asking for the un seating of Reed Smoot. Senator Burrows , chairman of the com mittee on privileges and elections has given notice to the senate that he will present the report of the committee next Tuesday and an extraordinory debate is ex pected to be heard on this ques tion. It is understood that Sen ator Burrows will advocate the unseating of the Utah man. "The question of the unseat- iog of a United States senator is a very grave one" said one sena tor on being asked about tlit. attitude of the senate. "If Smoot was a polygamist there is no doubt but that he would be ousted in short order , in fact he would have been thrown out long ago , but the evidence shows tha he is not a polygamist and that he has alwags fought polygamj JsP % vn ? * w ! ? ! i Sr w P Vvv f WnW CM axftmrxBooji foissaaKitaaetLsaxma It often requires ; i master-piece of diplomacy , when there are so main friends to remember at Christmas time.

" An other \vih ; heard to remark , "If we put Smoot out of the senate it will be because of what some one else has done in his church iiul not because of anything of which he himself is guilty as shown by the evidence. " "This is a political question and I would like to know what part the Kern millions are play- Jig in this propaganda against SniootV" was asked by a disinter ested listener to the above con versation. Thi * has developed into one of Ihe most notorious cases in the history of the United States senate. Since Mr. Kogers and Mr. Archbold have been quoted as estimating the income of John D. Rockefeller at sixty million a year , enterprising statisticians liave been figuring out its possi bilities. Capitalized at 5 percent Rockefeller's wealth amounts to one billion two hundred million dollars. At the average wages paid in manufacturing establish ments it would require the labor of two and one-fourth million persons a year to earn a like amount. Kach time Mr. Rocke feller sleeps eight hours he awakes $5-1,720 richer. If the things that can be purchased with money were not so sadly limited if one could buy health , happiness , real friendship , re spect and honor what a fortunate man Mr. Rockefeller would be.

Once more in the procession of human events the time has come when the man of slender purse and restricted vocabulary finds comfort in the trite re- llectiou that Christinas conies but once a year. Again the shopkeepers , from stationers to hardware dealers , motor car agents and piano salesmen , are proclaiming their slocks the only real holiday presents and' ' you think of the new spirit that seems so strong nowadays , the anxiety about what to give , and whether it will suit , that you come to wish there never was such a day as Christinas , be cause ot the embarrassment and unrest it invariably brings to simple folk. What a pity that instead of a tender thought and a hope that you and yours are well and happy and prosperous the send er should be troubled about the quality or the cost of his offer ing. ing.Oh Oh ! for an old-time Christmas ; for the times when you got up early shivering while youdress- ed , put on your boots that were cold and stilt , and stumped down through the kitchen where mother was getting the griddle cakes ready : away to the barn to feed the horses ; away to the woods , after breakfast , with father and the boys to cut the tree and the holly and berries no skimp handfuls at so much a "skimp" and back to the house to help the girls fix up the dining room and the parlor with brightness and life and warmth and good cheer. Ho for the fatted turkey not sought in the busy city streets , paid for at twenty-five cents a pound ; a turkey that all the guests knew by name ; a dinner with everything on the table at once and father making out that he's tired waiting on folks and wants a bite himself ; a dinner that filled and satisfied and strengthened and sent the boys and girls away for a sled ride laughing and cheering and ready to sing for the very joy of living. Well , there are plenty of homes in the laud thalstill have just such delightful , unselfish , beautiful Ohri-tmas day. There are homes in the country and in the cities where the children will hear the story of St. Nich olas for years to come until some marplot spoils the illu. sion. There isn't so much fun in hanging stockings above the gas logs a wide open fireplace would be better ; it isn't fair perhaps to impose on a child's credulity to the extent of ask ing him to believe that Santa Claus could come down a Hue that's only four inches in diameter. But keep it up if you can , the dear old story you learned and loved when life was young ; and if anyone tries to spoil it put him out. Tuck the children away this Christmas just as you were tucked away in the long ago by hands that were tired but tender. Ho for the old-time Christmas and the old-time Christinas cheer.
