The introduction Of a resolution in the
New York assembly calling for the
resignation Of Senator Depew calls to
mind the fact that Cyrus Leland once
introduced a similar resolution in the

wish the legislature had taken Mr.. Lee
lands advice and adopted it.

Can rank without Tongue.

"There seems to be a mistaken I'M
preston abroad remarked a doctor the
other day in speaking OF the case of the
actor in Chicago who had his tongue
cut out in the effort to cure a case of
cancer of that member, that when a
man is unfortunate enough to lose his
tongue that thenceforth all power Of
speech is denied him. This is not so.
While it is true that not many men sur
vive this operation for any great length
of time, it Is equally true that they can
speak so long as they live and with only
a comparatively slight impediment n
their utterances. If you will hold a
pencil crossways between your teeth
and speak while it remains in that posi-
ton you can get Just the erect It has
on human speech when the tongue is
entirely removed. Exchange.

HACKNEY'S HARD LUCK STORY.
When first came to Kansas and
found that the state had no grand jury
system [ thought surely I was beyond
the limits of civilization" said Colonel
Bill Hackney the other day to an up
state paper. $50 I Immediately became
reformer and started an agitation for
law creating grand juries. I was sent
to the legislature two or three terms and
at each session tried to get a grand
jury law through, but failed. Then 1
went to the senate for a couple of terms
and kept up my fight, but failed. Then
as a member of the third house for n
couple of terms 1 threw my influence in
favor Of grand jury bill every time one
showed up Finally after seventeen
years OF ceaseless toll I was rewarded.
A grand jury law was passed. I went
home happy. had helped to do some
thing to protect the rights of the people.
In order to see how the thing worked
the people of my own county where the
agitation had been the fiercest, had a
grand jury called and I was the first
man indicted. I was accused Of betting
on election. '-Independence Reporter.

KANSAS cOAAEKT
THE BIG STICK?


Before one makes up his mind that
Aldrich, Foraker, EIlxins and a few
others of the cabal Of the United States
senate are going to succeed in their plan
to block freight rate legislation and de-
feat other of the cherished policies of
the president it IS well to consider some
OF the cards Mr.. Roosevelt may have
up his sleeve. For instance, there is
that report on the Standard Oil company
of which there has been considerab BILE
in the papers of late. It is said that a
dent showing all the crooks and turns
of this greatest of trusts. OF course, the
president would not think of using this
Information, which probably incrim-
mates not only the oil trust but many
railroads, as club to influence Mr..
Aldrieh, generally regarded as the Stan
dard Oil senator, or Mr. Foraker and
Mr.. Elkins, whose prime business in the
upper house of congress is to look after
railroad interests. No. of course, Mr..
Roosevelt would not think of using this
report as q club. but you can imagine
that these senators might, not wish to
antagonize the president to the point Of
making him do anything rash. Prob
ably the president is holding this report
only as an interesting historical docu-
ment and out of pure spirit of curiosi-
ty comparing it with Miss Tarbell's
History of Standard OIL" to see how
near she came to the real facts. Prob
ably this is the only purpose OF the
president, but, then again you know
the president has been accused many
times of being somewhat of a practical
politician himself, and 1t is we'll to
await developments in the natter
