SENATOR-ELECT CHESTER LONG.
of close application, he was at once
recognized as a leading lawyer in
boom town where there was the best
bar in southwest Kansas. In 1889
there was vacancy in the state sena-
torial district of which Barber county
was a part, and Long obtained the
nomination. 1t was CIV en- him June z,
1889, a most memorable occasion, at
Coldwater, Comanche county, at three
o'clock in the morning, and after
rigorous contest. The dominating f1g-
ure in that convention, which started
Long on his successful career, was
Charles S. Jobes, then country bank
er at Attica, Harper county, since a
leader in Kansas republican politics,
national bank examiner, and now
president of the American national
bank of Kansas City. Jobes has since
been Longs steadfast friend, and even
in this contest, removed from the
state as he was, has been one of the
chiefest and best advisers.
Long served in the state senate,
and in 1892 was nominated for con-
gress in the big Seventh. Jerry Simp-
son, his townsman, had in 1890 de-
feated j. r. Hallowell, of Wichita, by
nearly 10000 majority, and Long was
up against a desperate situation, but
Simpson only beat him by 1,7oo. In
1894 Long was again named and elect
ed. He was given good committee as
signments by Speaker Reed, including
place on the committee on elections.
In 1896, again nominated by his party,
Long, like most other republican can
didates in Kansas, went down to de-
feat. However, he made perhaps the
most famous campaign ever con-
Quoted in Kansas. He debated six
times with Jerry Simpson, his oppo-
nent, on the money question. Renomi-
mated for the fourth time against
cessful. In December, 1899, Speaker
Henderson placed Long on the great
est committee in congress, ways and
means. In the short session of the
Fifty-siXth congress, February, 1901,
Long led in the fight to keep Kansas
congressional apportionment at eight
members, and the fight was success
full one. In 1900 Long was reelected
to the Fifty-seventh congress, defeat
ing Claud Duval, of Wichita. In 1901
the fight for Cuban reciprocity came
up in congress and Long studied the
question in every detail. In January.
1902, he made four-hours' speech in
favor of Cuban reciprocity which was
an agreeable revelation to older mem
bers. In 1902 Long was renominated
for sixth time, and was elected by
majority second only in size to that
of Charles Curtis in the solidly re-
publican First district.
Chester 1. Long was married in No
vember, 1894, following his first cleo
ton to congress. to Miss Anna Bache,
of Paola, a cultured and clever wo-.
man. She has been his closest friend
and confidante, and a most valuable
one. Mr.. and Mrs. Long have two
children, daughters, Agnes and Mar
garet, aged respectively seven and five
years.

The United States government col
lects on its vast tobacco traffic in
taxes and duties over SO, SOC, 900 a
year, and of course its revenue from
this source increases with it's con-
sumption. We get clear idea Of how
rapid that increase is from the fact
that while the population of the coun-
try increased not quite s5 per cent.
between 1890 and 1900, the consump-
tioh of cigars alone increased so per
cent. in the ten years from 1892 to
1901, inclusive.

that Russell Sage's street loans are

he has on the market all the time,
so that his income from this source
