Senator Edmunds says the federal election
bill will be passed by the Senate next win
ter. sit should have been and could have
been passed this session." he says. more
than that, it would have been if there had
not been an agreement Ito which was not
party between some of my Republican
brethren and the Democratic Senators. 1t
may be that the rules of the Senate will need
to be amended before the bill can pass, but /
am of opinion that we have rules enough.
Rule or no rule, the federal election bill will
become law before the adjournment Of the
s1st Congress-" The agreement with the
Democrats was humiliating; but perhaps it
might have been averted had Mr.. Edmunds
not objected SO strongly to change in the
rules in the first place. The Vermont Sena-
tor would not feel comfortable in the Senate

been: and his objections t9S1y Change had

CONGRESSMAN j. Fl. Walker. of the Worces-
/" trict of Massachusetts, is the vigorous
Republican who took his coat off in the
House of Representatives and made vigor-
Gus silver speech in his shirt sleeves. Be-
sides being Republican who takes his coat
off to the work. Mr.. Walker is noted for the
positiveness of his ideas and judgment. The
word which he sent to his constituents out of
the clashings of the contest at Washington
enbodies also the soundest sense. "My expe,
rience here" he says, confirms me in my be-
lief that the hope of the country is the Re-
publican party. There is no place for
independent action or third party; such
action only gives aid and comfort to those
who fail TO appreciate our country and its
need. L am convinced more than ever that
needed reform must be fought for within the
party. The Republican party and the Demo
cratic party are tive opposing forces, and
whether in the lead or in the ranks, every
well-wisher for this country must take sides
under one of the two banners If some
members Of the Republican party are con-
sidered Objectionable, the hope of the coun-
try is still in that party; and however es-
Unable some members of the Democratic
party may be, 1t is party of pessimism, is
reactionary, and its influence, as compared
with the Republican party. is not for good"
This is the opinion of every Republican
who has seen and felt the influence of the
great conflict at the front in this Congress-
The stragglers. the faint hearted and the
positive towards are the only ones who mag
nifty the virtues of the Democratic party.
The men at the front know it for just what
IL Is.

HOUSEKEEPING NOTES.

To soften waterproof cloak, place it be-
fore fire, instead of letting it dry cold, when
wet. 1t will again become quite soft and
pliable after thorough heating 1t is only
the cheap waterproOfs that grow so hard.
but this process keeps them in good order
until wet again, when the same process
should be repeated, holding every part in
turn to the kitchen fire.
To avoid the odor which too often fills the
house when cabbage is boiling, follow these
simple directions says an exchange: Put
the cabbage In net, and when 1t has boiled
five minutes in the first pot of water. lift it

In second pot, which must be on the stove

Many women are annoyed by the rapidity
with which braid wears of their dress skirts.
The best qualities of dress bra i'd are finer,
and often do not wear as long as the cheaper,
coarser ones. The best material for binding
dress skirt is bias band of good velvet
put on as roll. 1t will outlast three pieces
OF worsted braid, and, moreover. will save
more than its cost in saving fine walking
shoes from the wear on the instep caused by
the friction of braid; this often causes the
snoe to be shabby here before any other part
OF IL is perceptiblY worn.
An excellent way of testing tea is to put
