ours; we expect them to stay
with US until death. Yet, at the
risk of mourning their displeas-
ure, we reproduce the, following,
SAYS the Imboden News. We
don't know where it came from
any more than We know whose
rainspout the doctors medicine
came from. 1t is a good article
and we reprint it for what it is
worth. Here it is:
"The doctor from Bonanza said
that newspapers are run for rev.
enue only. What in the thunder
do doctors run for, anyway? Do
they run for glory? One good
healthy Doctors bill would run
this office six months. (An editor
works half a day for ST with an
investment of $4,000. Va doctor
looks wise and works ten min
utes for SO with an investment Of
three cents for catnip and a pill
box that costs S1.37. A doctor
gees to college for two or three
years, gets a diploma and string
of words the devil himself cannot
pronounce; cultiyates a, look Of
gravity that he palms Off for wis
dom; gets a box of pills, a cay
use and a meat saw and sticks
out his shingle a full fledged doc
tor. He will then doctor you un-
til you die at a stipulated price
per visit, and puts them as thick
as your pocket book will permit.
An editor never gets his edu-
cation finished; he learns a
long as he lives, ana studies all
his life. He eats bran mash and
liver, he takes hispay in hay and
turnips, and keeps the doctor in
town by refraining from printing
the truth about him. We should
like to live in Bonanza and run a
newspaper six months and see il
the doctor would change his mind
about our running a newspaper
for revenue only if we did not get
some glory out Of it we would
agree to take one dose of pills
after first saying our prayers.
If the editor makes a mistake he.
has to apologize for it. but if the
doctor makes mistake he buries
it. If we make one there is a.
law suit, tall swearing and a
smell of sulphur, but if the doctor
makes one there is a funeral, cut
flowers and a smell Of varnish.
The doctor can use a word a foot
long, but if the editor uses it he
has to spell it. 1.-THE doctor goes
to see anther mans wife he will
charge the man for his visit. If
the editor calls on another mans
wife he gets a charge Of buck
shot. Any medical college can
make a doctor, but you can't
make an editor. He has to be
born one. When a doctor gets
drunk it is a case Of Overcome by
neat, ana II ne dies 1t IS heart
failure. When an editor gets
drunk it is too much booze, and
if he dies it is a case Of delirium
tremens. The editor works to
keep from starving, while the
doctor works to ward off the gout.
The editor helps men to live bet
ter, and the doctor assists men to
die easy. The doctor pulls a sick
mans leg, the editor is glad if he
can collect bill at all. Revenue
only! We are only living to
spite the doctors. "

Springfield, Jan. S--This afternoon
Judge Lawrence Y. Sherman, of Ma
comb, was made the unanimous choice
of the republican house caucus for
speaker. The Busse-Campbellfa faction
met in caucus this morning and de-
-cided to pres sent the name of John j.
Brenhelton for president protein of the

cided upon are: Secretary Of the sem

Springfield, His. JAN. S.-Judge
Yates yesterday morning made the
following statement concerning his
attitude on the senatorial contest: "All
statements in the newspapers are
wrong which assume that because
have been neutral as to the speaker
ship l have committed myself as to
United States senator. l do not wish
my action on the speakership or my
determination to accomplish a fair
senate organization or any other act
of mine, to be construed as interfer~
ence in the United States Senatorship.
l have not interfered in the matter.
Representative Cannon arrived yes
terday morning, and at once opened
headquarters in the Leland hotel. He
said he was here to remain until the
close of the senatorial fight, which
he understood to be open to all comers.

legislature but two days distant, the
fight for Cullom's seat began in dead
ca snest yesterday. Every train brought
TO the capital Republican members of
the two houses who will settle the
contest. Cullom stock is higher than
it has been since the appearance of
rival candidates-and the reason is
that the anti-Cullom forces have
failed to secure control of the legisla-
ture Speaker Sherman's victory and
the prospective success of the Busse-
Campbell faction in controlling the

Question of Its Passage by the House VIII
he Decided Right Away.

Washington, Jan. S.-The animated
debate in the house on the reappor-
tionmento of representation from the va
rious states is nearing it's close, it be-
ing unanimously agreed yesterday that
fhe final vote would be taken before
the session closes today. 1t was ex-
pected there would be a sequel yes
terday to the exciting clash of Satur-
day between Littlefield of Maine and
Hopkins of illinois,. But the latter
made no effort at rejoinder. and con-
tented himself with the direction OF
the measure toward the final vote. He
expresses confidence that the bill bear
ing his name will be passed today,
although there may be a slight change
giving an additional member each to
Florida, Colorado and North Dakota.
bringing the total membership up TO
$50. The notable speeches yesterday
were by Crumpacker of Indiana, deal
Ing with alleged acknowledgements in
the south and by Hepburn, of Iowa,
severely arraigning the present rules
as annfhilating the constitutional pre-
rogative of the house.
During his speech Crumpacker
pointed out the voting requirements in
Louisiana. Mississippi, North Carolina
and South Carolina, and adduced fig
ures TO show that in Louisiana 43 per
cent. of her male citizens over 81 years
of age were disfranchised; in Missis-
sippi, AZ per cent; in North Carolina,
"a per cent. and in South Carolina 43
per cent. Crumpacker was frequently
interrupted by members of the dele
cations from Louisiana, North Caro-
lima. South Carolina and Mississippi.
They besieged him with questions and
denied many of his statements.
Pearson of North Carolina supported
the Burleigh bill and argued against
the Crumpac.zer bill, saying the latter
would be so carried out in the south
as to wipe out the few Republican
members now coming from that sec
tion. He asserted that the time
was fast coming when the south
franchisement practiced in the south
would be wiped out

JURY TO HUNT DOWN VICE
Body Sworn in at New York That Is to
discover the yyickedness.


discover the Wickedness.
New York, Jan. S.-Judge Cowing,
in the court of general sessions, swore
in the January grand jury yesterday.
The foreman is Maynard Hollister, a
linen merchant This is the body
that will hear charges made by the
committee of fifteen as TO vice in this
city and will also investigate many
city departments. After referring at
some length to the present condition
of affairs, Judge CowiBR said:
4 want to draw your attention to
a class of cases which is generally
believed in this community to go un-
whipped of justice. Crimes such as
You are expected to hear are crimes
against the public morals. As to the
higher crimes, there seems to be but
little danger that they will not be
brought to justice. 1t is the smaller
crimes and misdemeanors that should
be looked after"
The Tammany anti-vice committee
of five has placed all its evidence in
regard to gambling in the hands of
Assistant District Attorney Schurman-
This testimony will be laid before the
January grand jury and it will lead,
the committee says, to a number of
indictments of keepers of resorts. But
no police official or Tammany leader
will be indicted.
Farley Platzek said: ..The commit
tee has found no legal evidences in
eliminating any police official or any
political leader. 1t is one thing to
feel morally certain that vice is pro-
tected; it is quite another thing to
get into a position to prove who is
receiving the tribute We find thai
we cannot get that sort of evidence at
all. The people who are profiting by
granting immunity qsvice have kept
their tracks absolutely covered up
from view. We know that vice has
paid protection, but we do not know
who has received the money"

NOTABLE TALK BY SENATOR LODGE
Remarks on the Philippines Time
Fixed for a Vote on the APP
portionment Bill.

Washington, Jan. S.-A notable
speech was delivered in the senate yes
terday by Lodge. Addressing the SEN
ate on the amendment of the military
committee striking out the provision
in the army reorganization bill for Il
veterinary corps, he discussed brief
ly, and principally In the form of Il
colloQuy with Bacon of Georgia, the
Philippine question and the necessity
for an army of 100000 men. In conclu-
sion he drew a brilliant word picture
of the commercial future of the United
States. declaring that the trade conflict
with Europe, already begun, could re-
suit only in the commercial and econo-
mic supremacy of this country over the
entire world. In this industrial con-
fiict he apprehended no danger from u
material contest with any nation of the
world, but he urged the necessity for
a strong and scientifically organized
army and a powerful navy, in order
that the United States might be pre-
pared to defend its rights against any
possible foe.

Discussing the general features of
the measure Lodge said he did not

AS to the situation in the Philippines
Lodge maintained that ''organized re-
bellion has ceased and the local George
Washington is in hiding. In short
time believe there will he peace and
order throughout the Philippine ISL
ands" He did not think, however,
that the probability of outbreak
among the Moros and the uncivilized
tribes of the interior ever would be
III. hi in
the islands for some time.
Bacon inquired how long Lodge
thought a large army might be need
ed in the Philippines.
Lodge believed that in very short
time. comparatively, there would be
greater peace and order in the islands
than they had ever known.
Bacon Puts a Question.
After some sharp sparring, Bacon
put this question to Lodge: From
your knowledge as chairman of the
Philippine committee of the condi-
tions in the islands, will the army of
10000 be needed there for short
time or for an indefinite time?'
Lodge--What is a short timer
Bacon-Well, say two years.
.:sMy judgment is" replied Lodge.
that at the end of two years we will
be able to reduce very largely the
army in the Philippines. That is my
belief. Spain had an army of $4,000
men and kept very bad order"
'And occupied little territory" in
terjected Bacon.
Eyes. and occupied little territory -
assented Lodge. He maintained. how
ever. that with force of $4,000 in
the Philippines the United States
would keep better order than ever had
been known there.

week at Prescott, Walla Walla county,
Frank Sloan in fun kissed Miss Ella
Boone, whom he had blindfolded. She
resented his action, and pulling hat
pin from her hat stabbed him in the
leg. The pin was broken off in his
leg and blood poisoning resulted. Next
day the pain became so intense that
Sloan went TO the hospital at Walla
Walla.
An N-Ray machine failed to locate
any sign of the remaining portion of
the pin, with the result that Sloan
grew worse and died Miss Boone
had remarked in Sloan's presence that
she had never been kissed. This in
nocent remark led to Sloan's death.
