only to do so but to vote for other bene-
fetal legislation.
In the Senate the rules Of the caucus
to nominate officers and employees pro-
vide that no Senator may nominate more
than one candidate who may be elected.
This forces each Senator to care for his
own district first and 1t is invariably
cared for. Candidates from districts
which failed to elect Senator's, who would
sit in the caucus, are practically barred
from even receiving consideration, and
no matter how hard candidates from
such districts may have worked or how
deserving they may be they get scant
consideration II they receive any at all.
The system is unfair and wrong.
Conditions may arise which will put
Senator FOrney in an embarrassing posi-
tion. Some weeks ago he advertised
public sale of stock of which he Is an
extensive raiser. The date fixed was De-
cember %. 1t costs some money to prop
erly advertise and arrange for such a
sale and 1t would be disadVantageous to
postpone and 1t would have caused as
much expense to fix a new date. It rs
always improbable for the owner to be
away on such an occasion and II takes
several days to complete all Of the de-
tails. The vote on the railroad bill may
be taken during the time he might be
away. 1t is safe though to say that Sem
ator Forney will be in his seat when that
vote is taken. No matter what the
cast may be he will be In his
place serving his constituents interests
when the railroad bill is presented.

Senator Stone Of LeavenwOrth Is a
handy man in the matter of railroad
legislation. He has had some experience
and 1t has cost him something. He sold
enough of his farm in Leavenworth
county to the L. T. and s. w., a condi-
tion being that the road should be Oper-
ated. When the road quit business, he
brought suit to recover his land. He has
fought the case through all available
courts and finally lost on account Of de-
fective service at some point in the liti-
cation. In this long fight he has gained
some information relative to railroads
and their business which will be Of value
in his legislative work. He was on the
caucus committee to draft railroad bill

The De Kalb Fence Co., of De Kalb,
Illinois, who are old advertisers In these
columns and who are we'll known to our
readers as manufacturers OF woven wire
fencing. have just notified us of a new
departure in their business.
Foreseeing the necessity of better
grade Of poultry fencing, yet cheaper to
the user, they have placed upon the mar
ket the M. M. s. poultry fence The SUI
perior point Of this fencing, we are in
formed, is that it is true fence and not
a netting; this means that while the
fence is completely interviewer 1t has
continuous lateral wires which are In
terspersed at intervals with twisted
cables running the entire length OF the
fence. The advantage of this arrange
ment Is obvious, as it admits Of the
and thorough stretching OF the
fence. 1t does away entirely with the
top and bottom rail required by the old
style netting and requires but half the
number of posts. II you are thinking
about using any poultry fence write these
people for circulars and prices.

Roosevelt was an avowed imperialist
and the New York Republican platform
followed his opinions in that respect.
He was elected, however, we are inclined
to think, in spite of it rather than on
account of it. Early in the campaign he
discussed expansion, but after a short
time he abandoned it and did not refer
to it again, as he certainly would have
done if he had thought 1t winning
card. Furthermore, the New York S n,
one of his most vigorous supporters, and
an imperislist of imperialists, omitted
expansion entirely from its summing up
of the issues just before the election.

The pure judiciary cry raised by the
New York bar association on behalf of
Judge DAILY whom Croker had refused
tc allow to be renominated because
he would not do his bidding, does not
seem to have been very effective.
Judge Daily got 1000 more votes
than Roosevelt, but of course fails
of an election by a great many. thousands.
New York has heretofore seemed very SEN
sitive to attacks upon the independence
of the judiciary, but Croker appears to
have been allowed to attack it with com
parative impunity. s
