a LITTLE STATES POLITICAL FIGHT.

/ 1t is quite generally known that the
| prived of representation in the United
/ States senate of the fifty-seventh con-
| gress thru failure of the legislature to
| select such officials. While the repub-
licans are in the majority, they are di-
vided into two factions, and such divis-
| ion prevents the republican or demo-
didate Addicks is offensive to one third
of the republicans and they refuse to
support him, while the latter is spoils-
man enough to block the way by his
persistence.
The triangular fight over the election
of the two senators was resumed again
Monday night, when the members of
the legislature held their caucuses for
organization. The twenty-one demo-
and nominated list of officers, but the
two factions of the thirty-one republic
cans were unable to agree.
The twenty-one union republicans, or
Addicks men, held caucus to which
they invited all the republican mem
bers. The ten regular republicans, who
stand out against the election of Adj
dicks, refused to enter the conference
Monday afternoon and spent all the
early evening debating the proposition.
Some of them desired to meet the
union republicans to discuss organiza-
ton plans only, but others stood out
against forming any alliance with the
Addicks men.
Later an organization was formed
and on January goth joint sessions will
begin to ballot for United States SEN
ators. Party lines are drawn very
closely, and great pressure is being
brought to bear on the regulars topper
suade them to assist the union repub-
licans In selecting two senators at
this session, one of whom shall be Mr.
Addicks. Eight regulars say that they
will not, under any circumstances, vote
for Addicks, preferring deadlock to
giving in to him.
Republicans outside the state are
hoping that Addicks may be defeated.
The country Is not suffering because
Delaware is depriving herself of repre-
sentation in the upper house, nor is the
republican party. If the latter were in
need of the votes, Influences outside
tae state would pave the way for some
sort of settlement. AS 1t is. outsiders
feel inclined to keep hands off.

COY CORNER A SIN.

Chicago Ladies Take Knock at ORR
entail Furnishings.
Chicago. Jan. S.-An oriental room or
den. with its red walls and subdued
lights, a coy corner piled high with
soft downy cushions generate Voluptu-
business and sensuality.
That is what some members OF the
Chicago South Side Club think of the
den and coy corner influences OF the
home life.
.rhey are demoralizing," said Mrs.
George Watkins. former president OF
the club and prominently identihed
with the work of the state federation.
And a well-ordered home, mindful OF
its moral tone, will never possess such
things. There is barely possible ex-
clse for cozy corner in ones own
bedroom, and even then 1t should be In
blue and white tones, as such colors
tend to elevate ones thoughts
Il saw so many coy corners and sofa
pillows in a house once that truly l
doubted that the mistress of that house
was a moral woman" said one speaker
eat least such rooms are affecta-
tions,' said another.
The pernicious results from coy COR
ners and sin were entered into and the
general verdict seemed to be that a
home without them was more whole
some, productive Of higher, better and
purer living, and more fit for the
bringing up Of children, and the life of
the younger members Of the family.
From an artists point of view, they
are atrociolls," said Mrs. Watkins.
Have we not all been at receptions
and gone from dainty, delightful
drawing room, into a sombre, poorly
ventilated soul smothering oriental
room? Can you ask for anything more
tiresome, shocking or disappointing
than that?"
This discussion followed talk by
Mrs. Dwight Perkins on Interior Dec
orations" and Furnishings for the
House."
Among things Mrs. Perkins begged
all people to avoid in the homes were:
White and gold books folding beds
that serve as desks or family organs;
whirligigs on furniture; podgey lamps,
suggesting fatty degeneration; plates
with faces on them; it Is not nice to eat
of the hair. for instance.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES

Senator William e. Mason of Illinois
practically acknowledges that he cal

nation would be glad to see him fine
some useful employment.
A story Is told of travelling mar
who stopped at hotel in southern
Kansas town. AT dinner time he was
standing outside when the proprietor
came out to ring the dinner bell. A
small dog near by began to howl dis
mally. Turning to the dog the travel
ing man said: What in thunder are
you bowling about? You don't have to
eat here"
Speaker Henderson may be given a
position on the isthmian canal COM
mission as reward for his friendly
attitude toward trust legislation.
Venezuela and the powers are grad.
ually getting closer together on the ar
bitration proposition.
President Roosevelt is determined to
use his influence to secure trust legisla-
ton of the present session, while the
senators see mountains of difficulty in
the road. The statehood bill has the
right-of-way as unfinished business
and talk on this subject may run on In
an unending stream, while there are
other measures and appropriation bills
that must be considered.

| Hancock, and Cerro Gordo county is not
lacking in good material A strong,
consistent, unpurchasabe. reasonable
man is what is wanted. A man who will
look after the interests of his constitu-
Iency, a clear Drained. clear-minded fell
iiow. Cerro Gordo county has such a
one in the person of Hon. ID. w. Tslford,
of this city. He would be as good a
man as could be named. To review him
ia little. He is a good lawyer. During
the six years he has occupied the posi-
ftion as county attorney, how he has
grown! AS q barrister today he has
few superiors in the country. That is
certainly to his credit. Then he is
fearless He does his duty no matter
what stands in the way. This is not an
easy task and too many men of pollti-
cal prominence shirlS il and play poli-
ties rather than stand by principle.
This is even greater virtue Tor a
senator than being a good lawyer. Then
he is not d man to set his mouth gong
and then leave it. He says something
when he makes a pubic speech. Then
he is quite INDEPENDENT in thought and
equally so in action. A lobby would
have about as much influence over him
as a barking dog has over the moon.
This is becoming a more and more APP
preciated virtue We don't know where
he would be weak. III he had weak
points we would not hesitate to point
them out View his sources of strength
in the district and you must conclude
that he is logically as strong man as

HAZARDS or ORANGE GROWING.

Industrial and other schemes that
promise big money, and are open to all
somehow do not yield large profits to
the many There are so many hazards
to be encountered, and such large tolls
to be exacted from unexpected quar-
tiers, that disappointment takes the
place of the roseate views that lure the
ambitious on. An instance in point is
that of orange growing, tho many other
things could be cited. Readers of the
Times Republican recall the craze of
Iowans awhile ago to go to California
to make fortunes in orange groves, and
at the same time to enjoy delightful
climate. Years have passed and very
few have realized their ambitions;
more who remained in Iowa have done
better.
According to one who knows. orange
growing is not such an easy occupation
as many might imagine. 1t requires
constant attention. and is more Of job
than setting out trees in warm cli-
mate and watching them grow and
gathering the fruit when 1t is ripe. This
is as true of Florida as 1t is of Califor-
MIA. r. G. Masiin, of Tallahassee Fla,
who is in the business, had something
to say about 1t recently while in New
York. Orange groves" he remarked,
ARE not the Elysian Fields one mag
ines, with golden fruit hanging from
heavily laden trees, and scented
zephyrs sweeping thru the leafy bow
ers. Oh, no! orange raising hasn't such
poetical side. OF late years 1t seems
that the climate has changed in Flori-
da. Our winters are severe, and snow
is frequent. Bonfires have to be built
in the groves to keep the buds from
freezing. The trees must be wrapped
with bagging and nursed as carefully
as a baby. With constant watchfulness
there is heavy percentage of loss and
since 1t takes five years from the time
tree is planted till it bears fruit, 1t
can be seen what persistent care is
necessary to keep grove going. No,
sir. the bridal blossoms and balmy
south wind idea of orange culture is in
correct"
who have been in California.
