Commenting upon the marked
movement in the past few years OF
the younger, more alert and more
progressive element of the Democrats
over to the Republican party, Leslie's
Weekly remarks that some of this
tendency has been due to the inhu-
ence of President Roosevelt, who is
by far the most attractive personality
who has ever been at the head of the
Government, except Jackson. Much
of it has been caused, however, by
the positive, progressive program
which the Republicans have put for
ward and carried out. In general,
the Republican party knows what it
wants and gets it. The average
man, especially the young man, is
impressed by deed. He is attracted
to the man or the party that does
things, particularly when as is the
case of the Republican party, the
things advance country sinterest and
prestige. The support of these new
members, however, can be retained
only by deserving it. That means
the putting up of an inspiring pro-
gram, and putting forward as lead
ers, courageous, able and worthy
men. Only in that way can the
party maintain it's hold on the ma
jority of the American people. This
applies as fully to state and local
politics as to national affairs.

Canadians are said not to like the
word "annexation," as expressing
the relation between the Dominion
and the United States in the good
time coming. But there is a strong
sentiment on the other side of the
line in favor of ultimate union
with this country. There is a grow
ing realization of the fact that the
two have closely allied material in
terest in addition to identity of lam
guage, similarity of institution, etc.
But that it is a matter of many
years, before changes will occur that
will bring about the union. In the
meantime the neighborly feeling now
manifest will continue, to the adj
vantage of both.

will not have the right of way, as in
the house, but will be secondary to
the unfinished bushes, which is the
statehood bill. OF course, that may
be laid aside by unanimous consent
but there will be many other matters
that senators will desire to discuss.
The canal matter has not been dis
posed of; good deal of attention will
be given to the Santo Domingo
treaty; Senator Hepburn proposes to
get busy with his pure food bill; ap-
preparation bills will soon begin to
come along and a score or more OF
other questions will from time to
time bob up to consume time.
Vote In April or May.
OF course, If the railroad bill could
be squeezed in to become the unfin-
ished business, then nothing but APP
preparation bills could sidetrack 1t
temporarily and it would be possible
to push it to a more speedy conclu-
sion, but under the existing condi-
tions it is not likely that this can be
done. Along in March probably the
discussion will have proceeded to a
point where amendments will be pro.
posed and these will be threshed out
at length. Perhaps in April or early
May the railroad rate question will
begin to see Its finish.
The temperature begins to become
uncomfortable in May, in this lati-
tude and then senators look longingly
toward the mountains and the sea-
shore. The congressional elections
occur next fall and the congressman
will want to get home and get their
fences in shape.
Adjournment in June.
1t is the opinion Of the old-timers
that the session will continue until
about June /. 1t ought to end by
that time and there is no earthly rea
son why the urgent and even neces
sary business should not be off the
hooks by the first of May. But that
is matter involved in too many con
tingencies to forecast. Those who are
opposed to railroad control will use
every string to prevent legislation
that is not desired.

captain Of the Third Iowa cavalry and
of the Forty-flfth Iowa Volunteer in
fantry, After the close OF the Civil
war he removed to Bloomfield, having
been elected county judge, and during
the remainder of his life he made his
home in this city.
When he was is years old Mr.. Van
Benthuysen married Miss Fannie
Clark, who died shortly after the re-
moval of the family to Bloomfield.
The second year after her death he

sons were killed in the war and two
| daughters were accidentally drowned.

many years member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church and his funeral

sonic lodge and the Grand Army, both
of which organizations number Cap
tain Van Benthuysen among their
