MADISON, MURDOCH AND
THE INSURGENTS.

If the So called insurgents at
Washington, of whom Congressman
Madison and Murdoch of this State
are leaders, have the AZ Republican
votes they claim to be assured of in
the 6Ist Congress, to convene after
March a, they will win their fight
for revision of the house rules. The
gallant AZ, however, will have to be
men of the courage of their con-
v,ctions. They have the powe- to
break up the party caucus and thus
the erection of Republican speaker
until their demands are met. This
no insurgent will do unless con
vinced that the question at stake is
vital to the independence and freedom
of the House.
An important proposal submitted
to the sub. committee on program OF
the insurgent bsdy by Congressman
Norris of Nebraska is the taking
away frem the speaker of the power
of naming committees. Mr.. Norris
proposes to lodge this power in a
eommittee of fifteen to be chosen
by sections of the country by the
delegations from the respective
sections. His proposal has been
referred to the sub committee, which
consists of Gardner of Massachu.
sets, Madison of Kansas and
Cooper of Wisconsin.
1t should be gratifying to Kansas
people to see the independent
course of Madison and Murdoch of
this State. They are engaged in
movement to establish the freedom
of the House and are voluntarily
taking such chances as a movement
of the kind involves, which chances
are far better gagged at Washingt.r
than at a distance. While Madison
and Murdoch have assumed leader
ship in the revision movement,
several other Kansas Congressnen
are expected to line up with it and
have held aloof from the stand-pat
side.-Topeka Capital.

driven, after being dipped into hot
glue up to the shoulder. They cannot
possibly get loose or rattle, especially

It is safe to estimate that the aver
age American man or woman can
readily count up an hour each day
which is entirely wasted as far as any
advancement is concerned. This does
not include by any means the moments
Iof recreation and relaxation, which are
essential to every we'll organized daily
effort, but simply the moments scat
tered here and there over the day when
the mind is either roaming about help
lessly looking for something, or worse
still thinking Of schemes and ideas
which work for the good OF no one.
An hour each day counts up faster
than would at first be realized. In the
365 hours wasted during the year one
could accomplish the equivalent OF
two months OF college course. In a
few years the self-made man could
literally gain college education dur
ing the few moments of otherwise
wasted time each day. But take the
young man of business. It is a fact
that he can gain enough ideas for i'm
proving his work or the business Of his
employer during the spare moments to
make the difference between success
and failure.
A man who is bound up in his bust
ness, who likes his work, is usually a
success and the one predominant secret
Of their success is that It is on his
mind during his spare moments.

cA.uny D.s.~ Say. WAITING


The remarkable statement given so
forcibly by Sen. Chauncey Depew be-
fore the graduates of New York
medical school this week is well worthy
of careful study. During his COM
mencement address the senator said:
Marry by all means, but do not
marry until you can support wife.
You will have as much time after you
are married as before IL you know how
to find it. A married man can obtain
liberal education while waiting for
his wife at various times during the
day"
While those OF the fair sex may take
exception to the literal Interpretation
Of this and many maintain that II is
they who could obtain the liberal edu-
cation instead of their husbands, still
the truth Of Senator Depew's teach
ing holds. Does the young doctor, the
young lawyer, the bushes man i'm
prove every moment which is other
wise absolutely and irrevocably lost?
To drop the smile of the New York
senator, how many men systematically
think out problems or attempt to study
situations in their minds while walking
to and from business or while sitting
peacefully in street car? How many
men, while waiting the FIVE or ten
minutes for the noon or evening meal
have something to occupy their minds?
