ances. After Murdoch makes a speech
Uncle joe loses regularly at poker for a

Incidentally Murdoch has to beg time
from Champ Clark. the democratic leader,
in order to make a speech. The speaker is
Murdoch has and clear as are all the IA
culties of Uncle Joe.' The speaker is
utterly unable TO hear Murdoch when he
addresses the chair. You never hear that
stereotyped inquiry, For what purpose
does the gentleman rtse?' Speaker Cam
non knows for what purpose this big kan
san rises. IL is always to start something.
When Murdoch does get the floor
from the democrats the speaker
grips his big gavel as If he would like to
throw it, or turn II into a base ball bat
and use 1t at close range. Uncle Joe" de-
clines to speak to Murdoch when the two
meet.
The Man Who Laughs
When Victor Murdoch numbers to his
feet TO speak. on an allotment OF demo-
cratic time, you see a smooth, strong,
broad, freckled face, topped with touseled
red hair, wrinkled into humorous lines
and set with tvinkling blue eyes.
Murdoch is a satirist by nature. His
method is to get the loud laugh on the old
shams, which makes the old shams furious.
They shiyer at the first sound of Muir
docks drawing tones, This is the unfor-
givable crime OF Victor Murdoch. 1t is
this trick of his which causes the old
guard to denounce him as a more dan
gerous'' man than LaFollette. Neither
Aldrich nor any OF the senate regulars re-
fuse to speak TO LaFollette. Indeed, AZ
drich delights to cross stings with the
Wisconsin wasp in private conversation.
But Murdock-well, that is another matter.
Murdoch has this in common with La
Toilette, he knows how TO get his protest
into print. He is a newspaper man, born
and bred. He has a straight arm punch.
in the form Of a brief interview, always
ready TO hand Cannon and his friends.
Since Murdock's interviews are always
good reading, he gets them printed. At
odd times he writes magazine articles
which make the regulars grind their teeth.

some rights as a member OF congress.
Representing the eighth Kansas district,
he had just as much legal standing In
the house as Cannon himself. Certainly he
had a right TO the floor, to introduce bills,
and to demand action on them. When ne
tried to prove his theory the young Kansas
member found reason to get redder headed
than nature made him. Theoretically he
was right. Practically he couldn't get the
floor without the consent of Speaker Can
non, to say nothing of calling up a bill
for consideration.
Right there Murdoch became the insur-
gent he is today. If he had repented in
sackcloth and ashes he might have been
restored, in time, to full fellowship and
communion at the table where the good
things are passed around to the faithful.
In that case he would certainly nave been
defeated for reelection to congress. or
the other hand he found that bucking the
rules and the rulers OF the house had made
him unusually popular at home. His people
were willing to go without the ~perquisites
which the member who stands in dis
tributes at home, provided they suffered
this deprivation for righteousness sake,

get a new postofflce building for one of its
towns IL the old one fell to pieces, but its
people will throw cabbages at the head of

Saved a Lot of
AS a matter Of experience Murdoch found
that being an insurgent saved him a lot
Of trouble. His district didn't expect him
! TO get anything for 1t, and 1t gave him
more credit for being an i~nsurgent than
it would had he filled 1t full Of public
buildings and agricultural experiment sta
tions. The member who does get a little
pie to distribute always has TO face a large
number Of the hungry who are not salts
fled. Murdoch had found the wages of
regularity TO be dissatisfaction at home.
He found the penalty of martyrdom In
Washington more than offset by an easily
won national reputation and loud cheers
at the Wichita depot whenever he stepped
from the train there,
Murdoch mustered twenty votes against
the AldTich tariff bill, and he all but sue
ceeded in sending It back to the conference
committee, a repudiated measure. II he had
had behind him the parliamentary and leg
islativs experience OF the veterans whom
he fought. this session would have seen
the control OF the house pass from the
hands Of Speaker Cannon TO those OF this
Kansas redhesd. Like the tabled wrestler,
he has risen from The earth stronger for
each defeat. Murdoch has his insuTrection
in good working order now. and It will be
heard from during the next session Of this
congress.
This man fears neither presidents, nor
Speaker Cannon, nor yet the gods Of party
regularity. He laughs them all away. lie
is after the shams In the Washington game,
and his satire will go as far TO destroy IN IN
as anything can. His influence in the
capital is as good as is acid In exposing
the gold brick business. OF course he Is
q pariah, as far as the old crowd can make
him one. A pariah with a good laugh can
get a lot OF fun out Of official life, at that
Murdock does.

SAN BERNARDINO, April 5.-Harry
Irvington of Nevada brings the news of

ly dead, his three sons, in defending
themselves from his murderous assault,

with a rope which he had attached to
a rafter.
The two Oldest boys interfered, de-
Tending themselves with axes. The
father also secured an ak and rushed
with it toward them when one of the
boys seized a shotgun, which was in
the shed, and fired at his father, killing
him instantly.
After packing their fathers body on
a hurro and taking it into the mining
camp they surrendered to the officers.
According to Irvington there is little
