A CLOSE CALL.

People who were told before the
recent election that there was a sys-
tematic effort on the part of the
national democracy to elect the major
ity of the lower house of congress and
thereby tie up the hands of President
Roosevelt SO that he would not be
able to carry out the policies which
he has outlined for the past two years,
will be interested in the fact that less
than eight thousand votes properly
distributed in the seven congressional
districts would not only have wiped out
the republican majority of sixty in the
lower branch of congress at the next
session. but would have given the
democrats a majority.
This means that if four thousand
people had changed their votes and
had been properly located the country
would have been in the control of the
democratic party. True. under such
conditions it could not have enacted
constructive legislation, but it could
have accomplished its purpose
of obstructing republican legis-
ation. and that is really the aim Of
the democratic party. In more than
thirty congressional districts republic
can candidates we're elected by less
than $50 votes At the maximum point
a change Of 1875 votes would have
elected democrat-so that a change
OF $3.50 votes properly distributed
would have given the nation a demo-,
cratic check on republican legislation
and would have prevented the writing
of republican history during the next
two years.
The democratic party is not led by
inexperienced politicians; neither is it
rusting while the republican party
works. 1t is out for victory and means
to get 1t at any cost. 1t may be divided
against itself and may change its plat
form at every national convention, but
it will still live because it represents
governmental policy which appeals
to those who are never satisfied with
the existing order Of things.
It was evident to those who were
giving the matter close attention be-
fore the election that the policy Of the
party was to deefat the republican
majority in the house. The democrats
centered their efforts upon the districts
which were normally close and those
In which there were republican dis
sentions BY this method the republic
can majority of ia in the present
congress was reduced to sixty How
near the entire accomplishment of the
design of the party came to being
realized can be gathered from the
statement before made that the change
Of less than 1000 votes would have
entirely wiped out the remaining ma
jority

The condition of the streets of the
city Is far from what should be found
in a modern municipality. The side
walks are not available for use because
of the icy condition, and pedestrians
are compelled to use the middle Of
the streets. Something ought to be
done by the authorities at once to get
the ice from the sidewalks 80 that they
can be used.

Anecdote Of Peric,es.

Anecdote OF PertcIeo.
Democracy was new thing to the
!Athenians, and they became so dread
!ully swelled over it that Pericles was
at his wits end what to do with
Them.
IF it were not for the plain people,
politics would be easy" he was often
heard to complain.
Finally, in his desperation. he con.
suited the Delphic oracle.
"Give the plain people plenty Of
rope" was the yelled answer Of tho
pythoness. land leave the rest to the
GODS"
Pericles was sorely puzzled. But on
his way back to Athens, he purchased
u cigar of the boy on the train. and II
was a Connecticut cigar.
Il wonder IL this can be the rope the
oracle meant?" he suddenly exclaimed,
after he had smoked awhile.
1t could be, and was. To make a
long story short, great political Sc
cret had come to light. and from that
time forth Pericles had pretty much
his own way in everything.-Puck.

Where curfew Should Rino.

The father who ia chasing the dol.
lar to the sacrifice OF his boy must
also answer for the worthlessness of
his offspring. He not only chases the
dollar all day, but must needs 90 out
to his club at night and thereby deny
the boy even this short time before
retiring which might be made Of
great value to the boy. .
AS we stated in an article last
week, We believe the greatest curse
to this country to-day is not the bar.

lure the boy astray, but the great
and growing deficiencies In home ties
and home sacredness. Let the proper
influence and guidance be thrown
around the boy at home and there
need not be so much fear from these
others. And further still, there would
be not so much demand for the cur.

While some of the political reform
ers are advocating the reduction OF the
number of elective officers, another
class Is advocating the election of
fourth class postmasters by the ballot
method. Thus the wisdom Of reform
is constantly disagreeing as to the
needs of the country.
