ALEDO PRESS VIEW ON
ELECTION OF McCASKRIN
Democrat Talks of Questions Whether
Representative Elect viii be Able to Make Good.

bles with pail of water and squirt
gun-yet we do expect Mr.. McCaskrin
10 do his best TO bring about those
reforms which he so earnestly preach
ed. and which he said were so woefully
needed. We do not expect him to re-
verse the whirl of this old earth. nor
improve the quality of Kentucky whis-
ky. but we certainly sigh for the 2-cent
railroad fare. the general reduction OF
freight rates and the cessation in the
discrimination of freight tariffs as ap-
piled TO Galesburg and Aledo. We
want the freight rates in this state
TO correspond with those in force in
Michigan and Indiana.
If Mr.. McCaskrin is as expert in
repairing these defects as he is in dis
covering them then the millennium is
just around the corner.
Will He Make Good?
Seriously. Mr. McCaskrin has long
ed for a chance-he now has il. Will
he make good? We hope he will-but
if he does not-then back to the shades
of political retirement.
How many. oh how many of these
reformers burn the brightest during
the campaign. only to be snuffed ont
and forgotten when they enter the leg

krin is an exception. and the exception
is sometimes the best part of every
rule.

Washington, Jan. 19.--rhe senate

ments. The Republican members
voted for the treaty, but only two
Democrats. Morgan and Money were
present. The former voted against
the treaty and Mr.. Money stated that
he had not yet had, time to consider
It, as it was the first meeting Of the
committee he had been able to attend.
The three amendments relate to
sanitation, Limitation of cities and con-
troll Of harbors. The United States,
by the amendment relating to santa
ton, is granted more direct power in
all sanitary regulations. The amend
ment concerning the limitation of the
cities more specifically defines what
are the limits of Panama and Colon in
relation to the canal zone. The har'
Dor amendment gives the United
States control Of the harbors for the
purpose of improvements.

day at the conclusion of which the
Associated Press was informed that
the Japanese reply to Russia's last

in the nature of counter proposals are
suggested. 49,
