A NEW GRAFT.

There's a sucker born every minute
and new kind of graft to catch them
with, originated every ten minutes.
The latest one to show up is the food
cooker graft which is being success
fully worked in some parts of the
state. Boone county farmers, keep
your weather eye open and turn the
bull dog lose on the CRATER should he
show up.
The idea is this. A smooth talking
individual drives up to your place
with food cooker in his rig. To dem
onstrate the merits of the apparatus he
sets it up in your yard and cooks some
feed. You could get the cooker made
at any shop for six dollars. He wants
to sell out the county right, asking
$50. for it. You then have our sus-
picions aroused and he at last comes

conservatives. Senator Dolliver will
lead the radicals in the Senate, and
will be in effect the representative of
the president in that chamber. He
has championed the cause of the ship
per and the public with conspicuous
ability and success.
The statehood question, regaring the
admission of Arizona, New Mexico,
Indian Territory and Oklahoma, holds
prominent place in the order of bus
mess for the session. Senator Bev-
erige will direct the campaign for
Joint statehood, in the Senate. He
favors the admission of these four ter
ritories as two states. Arizona and
New Mexico he wants admitted as one
state, and Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma as one. This brilliant Indianian
figured prominently in this connection
two years ago, and his plans were
thwarted only by the superior politi-
cal sagacity and power of his senior,
the late Senator Quay, of Pennsylvan-
ia, veteran in the art of political
manipulation and a past master in
political generalship. The tactics of
these men at that time were both
amusing and instructive. Congressman
Hamilton, of Michigan, has introduc-
ed a bill in the House which is identi-
cal in effect to that contemplated by
the senator from Indiana. Strong
opposition exists in the territories
themselves to joint statehood. Through
numerous delegations and representa-
tives which have been snt to Washing
ton they have expressed all the indig-
nation of nascent and potential com
monwealths at the prospect of being
linked for all time with rival and
uncongenial neighbor territories.
Some OF them prefer indefinite terri
torlal existence to such a fate. In
dications point to the contamination
OF the plans of the advocates of Joint
statehood, regardless of the wishes of
the territories themselve in the mat
ter. This course meets with the an
proval OF most of the eastern senator's

butte preponderating power and int.

There is also some apprehension as to

covers himself and his possibilities.
While originality is not necessarily in
dicative of genius, or exceptional
power and ability, there is usually a
tentative presumption to that effect.
Apart from the individual and ca
pacities of it's members, their collec-
tive aims and plans give to each con-
ygress special and peculiar signif-
canoe. The 59th Congress is insepa-
rably associated and connected with
certain far-reaching problems, and in
this respect it may be classed as one
of the most important in recent years.
It will go down in history as the rail-
way rate congress, and the law which
will be enacted at this session bearing
on that question will mark an era in
the annals of federal control of trans
portation in the United States.
The rate question looms above all
other considerations at this time so
far as internal policies are concerned,
and it almost monopolzies public at
tenton. The portentious murmurings
from the camps of the opposition to
the president avowed policy in this
matter, which contributed note of
hostility to it's consideration during
the past summer, seems mysteriously
and suddenly to have abated. Per-
haps the conciliatory tone of the pres
ident's message on this point paved
the way to this remarkable denoune-
ment. There are those who do not
rejoice in the seeming modification of
the demands formerly made by the
president, as manifest from his mes
sage, and who regard with suspicion
the apparent acquiesence of notorious
anti-rate forces in the executive pro-
gram. 1t may signify unsatisfying
compromise. The Esch-Towsen bill,
which last winter held the center of
the stage, no longer enjoys that dis
tinction, and it is not now regarded as
the solely accredited administration
bill. It has been relegated to the
ranks and must take its chances with
the other bills of similar character,
without the sanction of presidential
preference. 1t is said that the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce will report what is in sub
stance the Hepburn Bill, although it
will he known as the Interstate Com
merce Commission Bill. Senator For
aker has introduced a bill in the Sen
ate which represents the view of the

placing all post masters, regardless
Of rank, practically under the civil
service regulations, The rule is now
announced that post masters will be
removed only for cause, and upon a
showing which shows incompetence
or delinquency in the discharge of their
official duties. This almost totally de-
prives congressman of their patronage,
and by some of them it is resented,
and criticised in no uncertain terms.
There are members, however, who
look upon this rule as an excellent
and desirable innovation, and one
which will relieve them of untold
worry and anxiety. Whether or not
the rule is final does not positively
appear at this time. There is dis
position to regard it as merely tenn
porary and experimental course.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9, 1905

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9, 1905.
Washington welcomed the 59th
Congress within her gates under aus
picious circumstances. The weather
was all that could be desired, in fact
it was ideal: it was neither too warm,
nor vet too cold. The sky was one
UNMARRIED canopy of blue, and under
foot all was dry and cleanswept.
Washington streets are always admir-
ably kept. Her broad avenues and
spacious buildings lend an air of am
plitude and hospitality, quite BETTING
the distinction and honor of entertain
ing the American Congress, a body of
men which represents the sovereign
people of the greatest republic of all
time, whose membership, as whole,
is such as to reflect credit and lustre
upon it's constituency. This observa-
ton is applicable to congresses in
general, although they differ in their
personnel and aims. Sessions come
md sessions go, and to the casual and
superficial spectator there appears to
be monotony in the process, and each
succeeding congress seems but repli-
ca of its predecessor, without individ-
uality or distinguishing features.
The careful observer, however, per-
ceives something novel and character
istic in the composition of each sue
cessive congressional body. Unique
and remarkable personalities find their
ways into every field of human en-
deavor: and those who are elected to
come down to the capitol at Washing
ton as the lawmakers of the nation
represent types and classes as distinct
and varied as the American people.
Men of strength and acument usually
attract attention by their peculiar
methods of procedure. Imitation rare
", if ever, produces greatness or SUI
periority in any sphere of action: and
