for investigation OF the grain elevator

far as it has gone the inquiry into
these conditions has been another in

cured in the senate passage OF the en-

at is because of these things that
there is so much interest in the La
Toilette programme. The expecta tom
of those most familiar with La Fol-
Iette's methods Of fighting is that he
viii have some proposals in construc-
tive legislation on which he viii seek
to secure votes These proposals, it
is safe to guess, will be of the sort on
which senators dislike to be put on
record, but that look good to the pub
lie. They will be embarrassing.
Enforcement of the letter of sena-
torial rules against La Toilette is re-
garded as a foregOne conclusion. The
courtesy that permits other senat tors
TO talk when they please and as they
please is likely to be denied to him.
1.-THE expectation Is that La Fol-

digested and carefully considered bill
TO instruct the Interstate Commerce
commission to make a scientific valua-

is an immense measure, for there will
be long and determined opposition on
the part Of railroad interests. Legis-
lation to give to some government
authority a supervision Of the capital
izaion Of interstate railroads, in Or
der to prevent capitalization, is
likewise thought to be contemplated
by the Badger senator. His bill to

doubtless pass. And there is intima-

be offended by the second. Which will

ONE REPUBLICANS VIEW.

II we should write the truth in
regard to the political outlook as we
view it from our humble den in this
corner Of Russell county, it would
not be pleasant for a true Republican
to read. The Republican party in KAN
sas is divided into discordant elements
more interested in destroying each
other than in promoting the interest
of the Republican part and good
government. Rival candidates for high
position are less anxious to build them
selves up than to pull others down.
The Republican state convention met
as usual adopted q platform and
nominated candidates in due FORM
The platform is Republican and the
candidates, individually and collective
are entitled to the votes of all true
Republicans. But what do we see ?
First, the immortal Stubs comes with
list of questions which each candi-
date must answer under pain Of his
displeaSure and the penalty OF defeat
by him and his faction Then comes
the redoubta.ble Jim Troutman with
his catechism which every candidate
must adopt or suffer defeat And so
on ad nauseum. The people are dis
gusted and Will not talk politics, and
it Is not to be wondered at Demo-
Gratis are united, harmonious, conf
dent and aggressive. With no princi-
pies to openly advocate, no past to
which they can point with pride, the
future lies before them and they can
promise anything. The history of the
United States shows that when the AL
mighty Ruler of the Universe has Wis
tied the people in wrath, he has used
the Democratic party as his instrument
Of Judgement The people are grow
ing tired of prosperity, and it may well
be that God is about to punish them
with another dose of Democracy

ROOSEVELT AS SENATOR.

President Roosevelt might be re-
elected were he disposed to run again,
and had he not announced immediate
" after the november ballot of 1904
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection. But he viii undoubtedly
be a candidate for the United States
senate to succeed one of the non-rep-
'reSentatfve Republican senators from
New York, Mr.. Plat. Platt probably
has done as much to promote Quayism
in Republican politics as any man save
Quay. To throw away the presidency
and become a candidate for a seat in
the United States senate is an unusual
political proceeding, but that is what
Theodore Roosevelt contemplates
When the president talks with his init
mates he makes no secret of his ambi-
ton. The president has reached the
climax of human ambition, so far as
American craftsmanship is concerned,
but he is no idler, and desires a seat
in the senate in order to stand in that
body as an effective influence against
AIdrichism as we'll as against Tillman-
ism The president is the natural
leader of the New York Republicans,
and TO him, more than to any other
man, is due the strong position in
which Republicanfsm stands in the
country today, notably in New York
state, despite the slump in New York's
delegation in the United States SEN

worth more than all the barrels that
the Old Guard have been accustomed

was surprised at the absence of ice as
one of the necessities. I thought to
ind it at the hotels in London, but
when 1 asked for ice water I was met
with such a stare as a waiter would
put on if asked for kangaroo steak.
Drinking water was served in almost a
tepid state, and the drinks at the bar
were the same way. Should one put
out a. sign of Ice Cold Beer it would be
stared at as a novelty
In every case where Z mentioned ice
1 was told that I might find it at the
drug stores. Therefore, I set out one
day to make the rounds Out of twelve
drug stores found five that kept ice,
but they would not make me ice wa
ter. At the last Of the twelve the drug
gist intellectually consented, but
when he returned from looking into a
closet under the stairs he placed his
hands on the counter and leaned to-
ward me and said:
&" My dear sir, if gives me pleasure
to inform you that the ice which I had
two weeks ago is all melted and gone,
but if you are going to remain here
until next January, and will give me
three days notice any time will have
from one to five pounds on hand for
you!"
