ANOTHER national election has result
ed in a landslide in favor of President
Roosevelt and the republican admins
tration. Every doubtful state has swung
into line with the entire north and west
for republicanism by the largest plural
tiles ever recorded.
Governor La Toilette has been re-
elected by ample. margin, and those who
have opposed him should now be willing
to accept the verdict and gracefully sub
NIT to the will of the majority as supreme.
He has now been given a l. legislature
that is in accord with his radio ii meas
ures and we shall now see what reform
really is. His primary law has doubt
less been adopted and we shall soon
learn how the theory will work in prac-
tice.

The Christmas Delineator.

The December Delineator, with its
message of good cheer and heldfulness
will be welcomed in every home. The
fashion pages are unusually attractive
illustrating and describing the very lat
est modes in way to make their con
struction during the busy festive season
a pleasure instead of task, and the lit
erary and pictorial features are of rare
excellence A selection of love songs
from the Wagner Operas, rendered into
English by Richard de Gallienne and
beautifully illustrated in colors by j. c.
Leyendecker, occupies prominent place
and chapter in Composers Series, re-
lating the romance Of Wagner and Cos
ina, is an interesting supplement to the
lyrics. A very clever paper entitled
"The Court Circles of the Republic, "
describes some unique phases of Wash
ington social life is from an unnamed
contributor, who is said to write from
the inner circles of society. There are
short stories from the pen of f. aopkin-
son Smith, Robert Grant, Alice Brown,
Mary Stewart Cutting and Gilmore
Elliott Peake and such interesting writ
ers as Julia Magruder, L. Frank Baum,
and Grace MacGowar Cooke hold the
attention of the children. Many Christ
mas suggestions are given in needlework
and the cookery pages are redolent of
the Christmas feast. In addition, there
are the regular departments of the mag
azine, with many special articles on top
les relating to women's interests within
and without the home.

An Australian View of Us.

The Dissertation OF Millions Tomb.

The Dissertation OF Millions Tomb.
The body of the great poet Milton
was once on view at a charge of three
pence a head. It was in 1890, after a
little carousal, that two overseers and
a carpenter entered the Church of st.
Giles, Cripplegate, where Milton lay
buried, and, having discovered the
leaden coffin which contained his body,
cut open it's top with a mallet and
chisel. when they disturbed the

story Of the ghoulish deed, 1.-The ribs

pulled hard at the teeth, which resist

teeth in the upper jaw and generously
gave one to one of his accomplices. AL

The LObSter'S Life.

HOLSTERS haunt rocks, just as rabbits
do woods Or furZe brakes. They can
not live without cover, and if there are
no holes in the rocks for them to re-
tire to they burrow, just as rabbit
does, in the earth and sea turf under
the water, and there sit, claws for
ward, ready to seize any intruder or to
haul in any mOrsel which the sea
washes into the hole. 1t is doubtful
whether Holsters remain awake all day
on the off chance of a meal coming to
their door. More probably they sleep
of the fatigue Of the previous nights
wanderings. But their antennae are
so sensitive that they warn them if
anything touches them or even stirs
the water. No electric bell could work
more instantaneously

THAT Wisconsin now stands high as a
maker of first class cheese is indicated
by the September scoring of the cheese
exhibit at the Louisiana purchase expo
sition. In every class, including flats.
daises, twins, young Americas, Swiss,
brick, longhorns, ETC., with the excep-
ton of the cheese known as pineapple,
Wisconsin took first prize and in fact
nearly all the premiums. In pineapple
New York took first. The passage OF
the law forbidding the manufacture of
bogus cheese of any kind has made the
output of Wisconsin of the very highest
grade and it is fast regaining its place in
the markets of the world.

AN amusing story is told of some Of
the richest men in the country who were
attending a recent directors meeting at
New York. Around the table we're J. P.
Morgan, James Stillman, William Rock
efeller, J. j. Hill and Senator Depew. A
messenger entered with package for
the senator on which $1.40 was due, and
after going through his pockets the
wonderful Chauncey acknowledged he
did not have enough money to pay the
bill and asked financial aid. All sub
scribed as much as they had with them,
but these multi millionaires were good
for only little over 81 among them. A
messenger boy had to advance the rest.

The increasing number of fatal rail
road accidents in the United States,
noted especially during the past year,
makes the discussion OF the causes of
such accidents by Secretary Moseley, OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
in the Review of Reviews for November,
particularly timely. Mr.. Moseley points
out grave faults in our American sys-
tenn OF running trains. He shows how
greater safety on the rail may be &C.
cured by perfectly practicable reforms
in railroad management. All of Mr..
Moseleys suggestions are the fruit Of
twenty years of study, and they are of
the greatest Importance to all who have
to do with the operation of our railroads.
Not only the travelling public, but the
American people as a whole, is vitality
concerned in all reasonable efforts to re-
duce the fearful waste of life in both the
freight and passenger service.

WHILE indications are that Mr.. An

Income Tax Law Void.

Leading attorneys are of the opinion
that the failure of the secretary OF state
to comply with the constitutional pro-
visions and advertise the proposed grad

it, and that it will be necessary for the
legislature to start all over again. max.

requirement is essential to the validity
of proposed amendment"

KEEP UP THE SPIRIT

ToQ much credit cannot be given Dr. D. H. Sleem and his neice, Mrs. Liza Sleem for the
 unselfah interest that they have manifested in creating a moral influence and providing intellettial entertainments for the citizens. Df. SIeem's lee. tnres, which are given free every sunday evening, are so highly interesting that neither residents nor visitors should miss them. Dr. and Mrs. Liza Sleem have also established and have in successful operation a sunday school, whose influence for good among our young peo- pie cannot be estimated. Without for any reward, except the sence of duty done, these true missionaries have laid a moral foundation for this new town which will redouwnd to their credit when future generations shall coine to take our-place.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

It is only fitting that the first newspaper in a place should make some reference to it's fel- low people and neighbors.
 The editor of the Gateway has been in the far west over 30 years. In those three decades he has covered a vast section of country, and he can truthfully and con scientiously say, that he was never in a community of it's size where there was more intelli- gence, more refnment and more cohesiveness among the people than there is here.
 The editor formed a favorable opinion of his to be fellow towns people before he stepped from the steamer deck to the dock. That favorable opinion has been strengthened in many ways since, and it is a fond hope that it will ever continue to expand in the prober direction.

ALWAYS WELCOME

Generally the newspaper man dislikes the person who tells him how to run his paper.
 This rule does not hold good with The Gateway. It loves the individual who can inform him how he should conduct his busi- ness even to the smallest detail.
 Such a character is always welcome at this office, He can place his muddy feet on the edi- tors desk, squirt tobacco juice on the office cat and do many un- pleasant things so long as he fulfills the requreiments of the business end of the paper.
 These requirements are that he De t paid up subscriber or a prolific advertiser.
 To repeat, The Gateway loves all the people who can tell him Just how -to;sGondueb his paper and hopes that every one of them will call on him at once, but do not forget the subscrip. GlOn.
