Representative J. Adam Bede, Of
Minnesota, is the very essence of
frankness. and he tells republican
secrets with refreshing candor. AT
speech before the Essex Club, Of
Boston, few days ago, in speaking
OF President Roosevelt and praising
him highly, he said: "Some people
may think he is little impulsive,
aud others say that his watck was a
few minutes fast when he took Pan
anna. Well, he may not have SET il
Just at Standard time. But we are
going to take Panama anyway. 1t
was a question of ten or fifteen min
utes, and what difference did i, make
whether you took it at sunrise or
noon2"
Certainly II made no difference -
If we were going to take II anyway.
If one is going TO rob his neighbours
hen roost it really Is immateriaI
whether he robs it at 3 a. m. or
3.rs. The important thing is to
grab the game and get home with
them in time for the mornings de-
votions. According to the code Of
morality which so pIesses the repub-
lican Essex Club of Boston, the
sooner you grab what you want the
higher your merit and the better
qualified you are to lead the party
of great moral ideas OF which Lin
coin and Sumner were once illus
trious members.

COON sKIN WAGES.
Wagon Load Of Rabbit Skins Given as
Change Dennis Clark's Dilemma.

From The Morgan,own Post.
A number OF week ago Dennis
Clark after working three weeks for
man in Preston county demanded his
wages as he desired to come to
Morgantown. The "boss" told
Dennis that money was scarce and
they were paying off in coon skins,
which Dennis was compelled 10 ac-
cept. Thinking that he could get
cash for the coon skins Dennis
shouldered the bunch and trudged
his way to the nearest country
store. After asking for aplug OF
tobacco he placed the bundle OF
coon skins upon the counter and
asked for his change. The mer-
chant rolled the buadle in to the
back room and in half an hour CALI
ed Dennis and pointing TO about
500 rabbit skins rems rked, "thar
is your change now wha's your
wagon" Right there Dennis began
to discuss the monetary question in
general and to cuss the coon and
rabbit skin situation in particular.
Dennis was thirsty, there was no
liquor in sight, he was "a miles
from speakeasy and no wagon
TO transport them in. That is the
story Dennis told the bartender
when he hit town foot-sore and o.
so thirsty, and it brought him the
desired slug of boozerine.

This session of congress may be pretty
busy one after all. Correspondents who
are generally well Informed, say that the
president is anxious to have tile law
creating the Interstate Commerce COM
MISSION amended 90 as to increase the
powers Of the commission and absolutely
prevent determinations both between In
dividuals and localities, The plan said
to DO favored Is one suggested by Paul
Morton, secretary of the navy, and form
er vice president Of the Santa Fe railroad,
comforting upon the commission the
power to establish new rates where rates
are complained Of which the road must
put into effect unless and until the courts
declare the new rate unjust AT the
same time the proposed law will legallze
pooling, thus ellmiting. the greatest
cause Of Determinations. President
Roosevelt Is said to haye abandoned the
idea Of any tariff changes by this
congress in order the better to
push ibis particular legislation

The complete official returns of the re.
cent Presidential election shows that Mr..
Roosevelt established three new records
He polled the largest vote and had the
largest plurality and the largest majority
ever received by national candidate.
Several other Republican candidates have
shown larger percentages of gain in the
party vote by comparisons with elections
Immediately preceding. But in the first
place the Republican vote of 1900 wat
very large, and in the second place the
recent campaign was not an exciting
one, because of the seeming certainty o.
Roosevelt'S election and the unpopularlty
Of Parker. 1t was not a campaign cal
Culated to bring out the biggest possible
vote, for II lacked the close rivalry tina
has entered into many other Canyasses
However, three records are pretty goot
for one candidate, X. c. Star.
