1t Baiie Waggener wants to serve the
corporations and the senate machine thai
is his privilege but he ought to have suffi-
Gent decency about him to throw off the
mask and do it as republican. Why
he will persist in calling himself demo-
crat is hard to understand. He was as
loyal supporter of Gov. Hoch as any
Of his fellow senators in the recent cam
paign and we cannot recall a campaign
previous to that time when he was in
harmony with the democratic party. Hi:
legislative record is contrary to demo.
cratic platforms all the time.

The Senate not only did a foolish
thing In expelling the reporters Of the
Kansas City Star, but very ridiculous
thing in then moving to investigate itself

the seat Of the carriage may have his
tongue hanging out without showing
bad form, still for the hot, prancing
horse to do 1t Is simply intolerable.
II you want to imagine something of
the agony of the modern fashionable
carriage horse, go to any swell harness
store and lift the head stall with the
bits in place. And any horse will go
better with a plain snafie bit. Its
weight Is one-tenth that Of the other,
and the horse obeys the rein quicker.
But the objection to the snafle bit is
that a horse will act naturally; he will
look around and enjoy his work, If he
can. The bit doesn't hurt him, and he
does not appear excited.
But the trouble with drivers Of "sty-
lish'' horses is that they do not under
stand how these things decreed by
fashion torture the horses. / believe
I know human beings as well as I
know horses, though men and women
