Increase of Salary,

Florida has only three representa-
tives in the house, but they are all
strong men-Sparkman, Lamar and
Clark. There are always SO many
Clarks in congress that they are
usually called by their Christian names
more frequently than others except the
Smiths. Joneses, Browns, Andersons
and Williamsons. SO the Florida mem
ber is always Frank Clark to his fell
pable man without fear. What's in
his mind he says, and he says it with
force. He has clear bell-lke voice,
Il great advantage in such Il large and
tumultuous assembly as is the house Of
representatives. Whether Il person
agrees with Frank Clark NJ not, he
must admire his courage. He was
once United States district attorney
and holds up his end of the hand spike
in the house to use an old time CX-
preSSicn familiar to the ears of those
reared in the timber regions. When
the Question of increasing congrcsSion-
al salaries came mp. Frank Clark came
out boldly in favor of it and made
speech which convulsed the house and
galleries and which was largely eX-
plotted i'll the papers. Enough voted
for the proposition to pass it, but few
spoke III favor of it. and most of those
who did spoke apologetically. Not so
with my nameSake from Florida. lie
put it on grounds of justice and man
fully stood by his guns.
He has Il tender heart. Some per.
sons conveyed to him the information
that the Iunatics in st. EliZaheth'S
asylum are maltreated. He promptly
introduced a resolution of investiga-
tion and forced it to its passage. He
was placed on the committee to inyes-
tigate and has put in a vast deal of
work on that subject. All sorts of
tactics were resorted to TO prevent the
investigation. but Clark of Florida
swung on like bulldog till he got it.

Snarlinu Republics.

Those Americans who are aching tc
see the United States and Japan go te
war are now turning their gloatine
eyes to poor little Honduras and Nici-
ragua in hopes to see them fail to pull
ing each others hair. It's pity that
these Central American toy republics
haven't sense enough to behave them
selves and to devote their time to the
arts of peace for which nature intend
ed them rather than to the art OF war
for which they are poorly equipped. 1t
would be Il good thing for all concern
ed-and to us-if they would unite with
the Mexican republic, becoming IN in
tegral part thereof, but really that :
too good thing to hope for. SO they
will go on. ad infinitum, yowlinS. spit
ting, scratching and going through the
motion of fighting each other.

A Terse Paragraph.

| have in these letters frequently re-
ferred to and quoted most excellent
and Illuminating excerpts from the
rural press The opinions of country
editors are not so widely read as the
editorials of the big metropolitan pa
pers, but in the end the sum total of
the influence of country papers is
greater than that of the great dailies.
Out at Fulton, in my district, is Il
young editor. Mr.. Ovid Bell. who con-
ducts the Fulton Gazette a tiptop pa
per. He is Il thoroughgoing Demo
GRAFT. At one time he served as secre-
tary to Hon. Richard Parks Bland,
which in itself was liberal education
in Democracy. Bell has been mem-
ber of the state committee: also its
secretary Recently that paper con-
tanned this editorial paragraph, which
should be an eye opener to his readers.
Mr. Bell says:
The Kansas state senate. composed of
thirty-seven Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis. passed resolution the other day
instructing the Kansas delegation in con-
gress to 'use all honorable means to re-
wise the tariff on steel and lumber.
Twenty -one Republicans voted fer the
resolution. and one of them. debating 1T.
said mo wife buys a dishpan and no
farmer a nail or piece of barbed wire
that does not pag tribute to the steel
trust The funny part of the perform
ance is the admission of the fact that
the tariff is responsible for the trusts.
Ordinarily q Republican politician does
not admit the relation of the tariff to the
trusts. Any of them will agree that the
buying public pays tribute to the steel
and lumber trusts, and they go further
and agree that the beef trust, the leather
trust the farm machinery trust, the wool
en- goods trust and the cotton goods trust
levy tribute from the people. but some
how they fail to connect cause with ef-
feet. Light seems to be breaking on
Kansas Republieanism, however.

Mo Extra Session.

There is talk of an extra session OF
congress. but there's no extra session
going to be held. OF course the Wash
ington people want it, because it helps
the town. but senators and representa-
tives do not want it. and President
Roosevelt dislikes to have congress oi
his hands as much as did G. c., but
he is too shrewd to say SO.

De Almonds Remedy.

Judge David A. De Almond of Mis-
souri,. the most sarcastic of mortals as
we'll as one of the ablest members of
the house. has turned his mind to the
exactions of the Dingley tariff bill and
from his inner consciousness has eyolv-
ed most excellent plan to educate
people on that subiect-if he could
only get it into operation. But there
is the rub. not only with De Almonds
scheme, but with any other looking
toward improving our condition. His
plan is simplicity itself. It's nothing
more or less than to pass a law re-
quiring that the amount of tariff on
any article shall be placed on that ar
ticle in plain words and figures when
it is offered for sale. That would be
fair to all concerned-to manufacturer,
seller and buyer. also to Uncle Sam
but because ii is fair is precisely the
reason that the ways and means COM
mittee as now organized will not touch
it with forty foot pole. What the
most dread is a fair deal on the tariff
The tariff gong could not drum up
one-tenth of the votes of the United

whereupon the astonished client yelled,

Eancies For Summer Gowns


Fancies For Summer Gowns.
The wearing of earrings, in late
years regarded as q relic of harbaric
days, has suddenly become the rage.
Indications are that the size of ear
rings will keep on increasing until the
long pendants worn by our grandmoth-
ers will be considered the fashionable
thing.
Some of the challes this spring are
as pretty as the silks. and. indeed.
from Il distance they cannot be distin-
guished from the handsomer fabric.
They come yard wide and are soft
and velvety in appearance.
Many of the prettiest summer gowns
will hive no trimming save tucks and
bands of cluny beading. Fichus of silk
on muslin frocks is novelty both
quaint and attractive

She has turned about in gladness from

She has shouted out the tidings that

And we hear the echoes rolling all the

And our cup of joy brims over, and our
