called Progressive" or "Insurgent"
Republican senators, who, by joining
with the Democrats. and led by Sena-

a visit to his home city, in July, there
are authentic rumors that his return
to the senate in 1911 will not be per-

That Senator Beverage has been se.
vereiy attacked and roundly denounced
for his desertion of party by the
greater part OF the Republican press,
and not only of his own state, but OF
the whole country, is well known.
That he has some misgivings as to

regard to reelection is evident from
The fact that he has already begun an
active campaign to succeed himself
That he expects to fortify his chances

The Plain Truth.

"The truth about this whole subject
Is that when the states and sections
OF the nation that are now railing at
New England's dominance in the sen
ate, select men who faithfully reflect
the opinions of the people and who
keep on rejecting their opinions after
they get TO the senate--when such
states continue their men in the house
or senate as steadily as New England
those states will become equally pow.
erful with New England. And that Is
the only way by which the distribu
tion of power among the various states
can be restored and maintained"

metrical ratio.
(. A Plausible Explanation.
why, then. do not the other states
follow New England's method? The
people Of other states are the equals
In intelligence of the people OF New
England. Where, then, lies the mys
terry? Why do they SKATER their OWL
influence In national affairs by chang
ing their public servants?
May not this be one explanation:
When new men are sent to the senate
by changeable states, these men fairly
reflect the advanced views of their
people at the time Of their election:
but they come to Washington, com
paratively ignorant OF legislative meth
DDS, and, SO far as committee assign.
ments are concerned, perfectly help
less. They belong to party, and thc2
find their party in the senate led by
men who have been In the senate fol-
twenty-five and thirty years. What
more natural than to look to these
men for advice and guidance, approval
or disapproval; for committee assign,
ments--for leadership, In short?
Perhaps 1t is about equally the
fault Of these changeab!e states or
the one hand. and their congressman
and senators whom they change 60
often on the other hand. that they do
not have the influence in the senate
which the more stable sections like
New England exercise. Be that as 1t
may, certain 1t is that the remainder
of the country will never have and
never can have an equal influence
with New England in the senate until,
like New England, 1t keeps It's public
servants in Washington as steadily Gs
New England keeps hers.

SHOE WORKERS WIN STRIKE IN
ST. PAUL.

The strike of the shoe cutters en-
ployed by the Minnesota Shoe COM
pany of st. Paul, Mimi, successors to
the c. Gotzian company, ended last
week when the thirty men, who have
been out for more than three weeks
went back to work. The trouble over
wages has been settled.
Recently the shoe company put in
machines in the cutting department.
Previous to the installation of the ma
chimes, the cutters had received SIS
a week. With the introduction of the
machinery the men demanded an in
crease to $21. The company refused
and the cutters walked out. The COM
pany imported strikebreakers, but
they did not prove competent work
ers.
A conference between the company
and the shoe workers resulted in a
settlement by which the former en-
ployes return to work at substan-
tial increase for machine work.
