important Bill* to Be Rushed Through
at the Last Moment—The Prepl-
dent's 8a la'ry.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 25. ••
As is usually the case toward the
«end of the short session of Congress
the Senate is confronted fclth an
-«mount of work apparently beyond its
capacity. It will doubtless get through
with it in some -form or other if it has
to hurry through,—-a thing whfch
Cheetarfied says a gentleman ought
.never do. The Senate, however, does
not claim to be a gentleiran. And
since it has not been doing one thing
after another the only legitimate' way
to dispatch" work it will rush, push
and hiirry it throügh during the com-
ing'days and nights until the 4th of
March.. Four or five large appropria-
tion billa' that should be carefully
scrutinized and sifted aré awaiting
consideration. It is most Unfortunate
that such, an expensive, cumbersome
and deliberative body as1 the United
States Senate must act as a court of
impeachment for a second:rate lawyer
that some president was mistaken
enough to fi^point to a federal judge-
ship. The Swayne trial is occupying
time out of all proportion to Its im-
portanee.
Jhe poatoffice appropriation bill
was taken up Wednesday. The navy
bill has not yet come over from the
House but it is expected to pass the
Senate this iweek. The consideration
of executive- business, it is now under-
stood will be deferred to' the called
session of the Senate immediately af-
' ter the fourth of March. An execu-
tive session of the Interstate Com-
merce committee was held on Tues-
day for the purpose-of discussing a
resolution of Senator Kean authoriz-
ing the committee to sit during thé
summer to prepare, a bill for railroad
1 rate legislation. The meaning oi this
is that the representatives in the Sen-
ale of the powerful railroad corpora
tions are going to deliberate very
deliberately and by the.tlme the com-
n-it tee is through with lis delibera-
\J tions the'Senate will deliberate and
* * tlie bill that f<nally passes will be so
mutilated that the House will not
agree to it. or if it does the presi-
dent will not sign it. We are, of
course, not going to have at this ses-
sion any of the postal reforms recom-
mended by the jostraaster-generar and
demanded by the people. The expresa
companies with iaelr representatives
on fbe flonr of <>,e Senate ánd In the
1 louse haye effectively blocked any
improvements.
The developments In the invest!-
gation of the operations of the Stand'
ard- Oil company in Kansas have
aroused the attention of the entire
country and the president is thorough-
ly aroused to the necessity of some
action with regard to this greatest of
Representative Campbell of
had a long talk wlth the prest-
this week regarding, the Stand-
ard Oil company, and he Is authority
tor the statement of the president
that action as strong as possible under
the laws of the country will be taken
against the combination, not only in
Kansas, but in every section in which
It can be established that the great
-corporation has misused its powers to
'ruin the weaker competitors. In or
der that action may be taken against
them fcs speedily and as 4 effectively
as possible, there will be close co-
operation between the investigating
officers of the Bureau of Corpora;
tions and the Department of Justice.
The president has had several long
conferences with Commissioner of Cor-
porations Garfield by whom the inves-
tigations will, be made.

There are two bills before Congress
looking toward the increase of the sal-
ary of the president. One introduced
on December 9, by Senator Stewart
of Nevada, providing that the presi
dent's salary be Increased tb $100,000
the action to take effect March 4,
1909, the óthe'r bill prepared by Rep-
resentative Maynard of Virginia, pro-
viding for a $75,000 salary for the
president and a pension of $25.000
per annum for the rest \of his life.
There are still nine working dayb-of

might be so amended and a$ted upon
that President Roosevelt should ie

fit the present executive.
Our president now receives a salary
of $50;000 a year, the same as that
paid the governor general of Canada
and from a fifth to a twelfth of the
amounts received by" the rulers of
European, countries. For thirty-three
years, or since the beginning of the
second term "of President Grant, the
salary of the president has not been
increased aijd in that time the wealth
and population of the country have
more than doubled. It is reasonable
that the compensation of the president
should be double also,; and it Is
simple justice that President Roose-
velt, who has been the ovérwhelmlng
choice, of the people should receive
the benefit of the increase. .While
other bills are being hustled through
in these remaining nine days it would
be a credit to the oountry if this one
should also pass without obstruction.
The adjustment of the vice presi-
dent's salary and the salaries of the
speaker of the House, and the Sen-
ators and Representatives involved in
the increase forr the president is also
a necessity, but it is a task that can
be/; undertaken at any time that Con-
gress 14 in session, since their lm-
mediate benefts are not llmitéd by the
Constitution.

Á Big Rice Sale.
The Atlantic Rice Mill oompany, ot
TOeaumont, has bought almost the en-
tire crop of rice raised on the Orange
County Irrigation company farms last
year, and the work of delivering same
on the cars here began ■ today. The
Orange County Irrigation company sold
approximately 9,000 bags, B, W. Lyons
approximately 3,000 bags .and other
tenants sold somewhere between two
and three thousand bags In the lot.
Several wagons are busily engaged In
getting all this "amount of rice on the
cars. From all indications the deal
for the whole amount of the cereal
amounted in the neighborhood of $50,-
000.
Ended the Sixth Month.
The sixth month of the present ses-

on that day receiving their monthly
stipend, as usual. Notwlthstándlng
the very inclement weather, the
schools made a^gopd record for the
month Just ended, and this session
bids fair to be one of. the most suc-
cessful In the history of the schools.

is an important question In the minds
of those who are seeking new loca-
tions, and her advantages In/this .re-
spect should bé Impressed 'ujkm all
those seeking information about this
section.
Are you interested in the growth
and prosperity of your city and coun-
ty? We feel Uiat you are, and that
with the glbrious proapeota^ahead you
will be willing to do yonr share to-
wards the work. Some may think that
they cannot do anything; Every ope
can do something In the work. If you
pwn. any property that is idle and un
productive, It should- be your duty
and your pleasure to* dispose of it at
a reasonable figure and thereby give
some oner an opportunity to come in
and help In the work. Put yóur price
on It, and turn It over to some reliable
real estate agent to sell for you, there-
by helping all." We want more people
and more capital, but unless we- are
willing to make It possible for the
stranger to buy property, we cannot
expect liim to settle among us, nór to
invest. Consider this matter seriously
and then act for the best interests of
all-concerned;
The advice of this paper to every
land owner who has property-for sale
in Orange, county'is to list the lands
with some competent, enterprising
and wide-awake real, estate agent, at
a price that will enable him to inter-
est prospective Investors. In this way
yota will serve a three-fold purpose,
namely: You will dispose of your
property, you will help to build up the
community and you will aid the real
estate agent in maintaining a list of
properties with which to catch the at-
toptlon of men in other states who
are seeking, new locations.
Mayor Windham is to be congratu-
lated upon the efforts he is making
to improve the business streets of the
city. Under bis direction shells are
being* spread upon -the streets where
most needed and thoroughfares that
were'in awful condition will soon be
as hard and firm a* ever.
Fruit and truck associations are
proving. potent factors in building úp
the counties in which these organiza-
tions are maintained and Orange can
derive great benefit from her associa-
tion if the proper interest is taken in.
it. In many places canning factories,
creameries and other enterprises are
following the successful conduct of
Fruit and Truck associations.
That Orange Is on thé eve of an lit
dustrial - awakening such aar she has
never known before no one at all fa-,
miliar with conditions here can deny.
It is the duty of every good citizen to
aid in the work of development to the
very best of his ability. Let'a have
no drones or laggards, but let every
man do something to advance the in-
terests and promote the welfare of the
Gate City. '
Orange now has miles and miles of
magnificent water front that Is un-
occupied, but-the completion of the
Sabine lake channel, will be followed
by the building up of this water front

portant and a busy inland seaport

Thla paper is delighted to have ti
opportunity of assuring the people of
Orange that -the i>laat of the Wood

have taken another, great stride in the
way of industrial progress.
Within a few more weeks the bright
sunshine will have caused the budtt

comfort to the stranger, whose first
