Washington, y. c. March 9.-Goyer-
nor J. y. c. Beckham, OF ken+ucky,
called by many Of his friends he boy
governor because Cf his yoU,h, a W
years ago became possessed Cf the am
b.LiOn 10 so TO the United States sem
ate, where he will be found two years
| hence. In some quarters, however,
there seems to be a disposition TO
insist that Governor Beckham is now
| a member Of that great body, noCwith-
standing the fact that the man h0m
he succeeds has two years to his credit
on his present term.
Not very long time ago the New
York Evening Post, usually the most
accurate Of newspapers, announced
that Governor Beckham had been
elected to succeed Senator Blackburn
whose term expired March 3rd, and
who is to be succeeded by Judge Payn-
ten, of Louisville Since the congress
adjourned, the Philadelphia Press, as
as the compass, told it's many readers
chat Governor Beckham began his
term last Monday. The state of Ken
lucky has a fashion of holding it's
primaries long time before election,
especially where the candidates con-
troll the election machinery and find
it to their advantage to have an early
primary. In the campaign last fall,
at the same time the electors of the
Blue Grass state were voting for mem
bers Of the SiXtieth congress, they al
so voted at primary for their choice
for senator to succeed James .. Nc
Creary. 1t was at this primary that
Governor Beckham was victorious
over the senator. The legislature
which must choose Mr.. McCreary's
successor, however, is yet to be elect
ed. The governor will control it by
virtue Of the result of the primary and
within two years Kentucky will have
an entirely new representation in the
United States senate. Judge Thomas
S. Payntor was elected January 6,
1906, to succeed Mr.. Blackburn and
Governor Beckham will be elected
January 1908 to succeed Mr.. McCreary
the following year.

Democratic politics in Maryland is
beginning to hold some interest for
the country at large, owing TO the
election Of a senator to succeed the
late Senator German. When Mr.. Cor

fill the vacancy until the legislature
should elect Mr.. Whyte was a s ma
tor by appointment of the governor of
his state in 1868 to fill the vacancy

as the American minister. In 1874
Mr. Whyte resigned as governor OF
Maryland and was elected to the SEN
ate where he served a full term. He
is now in the senate for the third

Senator Whyte has upset the plans
of some of the Maryland politicians
by announcing his Witness to be a

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Let's see, wasn't it down in New
berg that water was so cheap and
plentiful that the city was almost
willing to put it in the houses fol
nothing and pay the property Owners
for sprinkling their lawns with iti
Seems to us like we heard something
of that sort from local advocates
of municipal ownership year or two
ago. Here is what the Newberg
Graphic says about it,
"As will be seen by the report of the
last meeting Of the council, a large
number of water consumers have
been ordered to put in meters. Had
this economical streak struck the
council before the expenses of the new
water system had been incurred, there
might have been some show Of reason
in it, but since it is supposed at least
that the supply will be abundant as
soon as the system is completed, which
will be within few days, this action
looks rather arbitrary. The intention
no doubt is to get more revenue from
the consumers. Whether they will
succeed or not remains to be seen. As
for the Graphic, if the expenses of a
meter must be added, with the un-
certainty of the monthly rate to be
considered, other power will be
resorted to, and others will take the
same view Of the matter"

whip the United States in case war
should arise, because her people are
vegetarians and the Americans are
not. Since the showing that has been
