pI BIZ OPINION

MILLS WOULD MAKE A SPLENDID
SENATOR.
j Ohm ii. Reagan was ssnt to the
senate from Texas OF the strength of
MS interstate commerce bill. Will
Roger T. Mills be { anstcrr q to the
upper chamber on the strength of his
tariff rcform blI? This is the ques-
ton agits ting a good many minds in
Texas jut at present. Mills would
make u sp 'eudid senator, but it is a
question if he cou'd be more useful
to the people than in the present
place. The -trongest men are really
needed in the house M ssouri r.

GERMAN ESPIONAGE.
Germany has its eyes and spies on
English strong places ss well a. on
the French. The arrest of a culprit
ut Chatham for selling the secrets of
English fortresses wi be apt to bring
tho gravity of the German sys-
TEN of espionage home to John
Bull. Hitherto he Las looked on wi h
great complacency at the revelations
| OF the German spy syetem in France
and Russia. Now, however, that he
finds the Berlin Information bureau
engaged in making maps of the Eng
llsh defenses, he may take anoth r
view of the wisdom of Ting Bis
marck rule Europe to his "a i-facIion.
