Congress is in much the same
boat that Frank Weber was in
old Trinity college, Dublin, con-
corning which he wrote to his old
friend Charley O'Malley :"Charley,
they have expelled me, but they
have not got rid of me yet" The
country will not get rid OF this
Congress until they elect a new
one. 1t has already served notice
on the country that it intends to
do more destructive work in the
next session than it has done in
the one just closed, and the only
way to prevent this is to elect for
its successor a Republican body,
clean in its tariff record and abso.

The sound money Democracy OF
Texas are thinking it hard lines
that the leading candidates on the
ticket cannot stand on the plat
form. Democratic candidates are
not expected to stand on the plat
forms, for those structures are
only made to TEX about and not to
represent principles of party ac-

them only stands on nothing and
