There will be many members OF
Congress missed from the halls OF
legislation. Twelve Senators and
seventy-seven Representatives are
entitled to the prefix Eek" Of the
seventy-seven Representatives who
retire, Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa has
served twenty-five years In Congress
and e-President-elect, Mr.. Sher-
man of New York has served twenty
years. Mr.. Hepburn has been con-
nected with public affairs since
ante-bellum days. He was a dele
gate to the Republican National Con-
vention in 1860. Mr.. Cousins of
Iowa and Delegate Smith of Arizona
have each served sixteen years.
Jenkins of Wisconsin, Copper of
Texas, Overstreet of Indiana, Will
Jams of Mississippi and Atcheson of
Pennsylvania, have served fourteen
years each. Mr.. John Sharp Will
liams, long the brilliant minority
leader of the House, retires to enter
the Senate two years hence. Some
of the other representatives have
had long service in the lower
house, but twenty-eight of them
have only served two years, or a
single term. Adam Bede OF Min-
nesota, who has contributed much
to lie humor of debate and Bourke
Cochran, one of the readiest and
most effective orators of the House
will not appear on the floor after
the fourth of March. Senator Tel
ler of Colorado has served the long
est term in the Senate of any retir-
ing Senator, or since 1876. lie re-
signed in 1882 to enter the Cabinet
of President Arthur, but was re-
elected in 1903 as a Democrat, with
which party he has since stood.
Among conspicuous retiring senat-
ors is Platt of New York who. 1t
will be remembered, resigned with
Roscoe Conkling in 1891. since
which time the nickname "Me Too"
Platt has been necessarily used by
his detractors. Senator Foraker,
whose recent turbulent career Ii
fresh in the minds of everyone, has
served twelve years. Other Senat-
ors who will retire March the
fourth are Hemenway, McCreary,
Ankeny. Fulton. Gary. Hansbrough,
Kittredge, Long and Milton.

Isaac Stephenson was finally
elected United States Senator in the
Wisconsin legislature on Thursday,
after a sensational campaign before
the primary, in which he admits ex-
pending $111,000 and his oppon-

and long drawn out contest in the
legislature during which twenty
three ballots were taken, Stephen
son finally winning by one vote.
Serious charges of corrupt practices
have been made, and the fight has
widened the breach between Steph-
enson and LaFollette and divided
the state into factions which will in
all probability not be united for
years.

Only a few days ago the Presi-
dent hastily appointed a commits
sion to make a report looking to the
reorganization of the Navy Depart
ment, but this, like many other of
the Rooseveltian policies will have
to be bequeathed to the man who
is expected to carry ont the Roose-
veltian ideas. The report has been
handed in and it looks we'll. The
plan appears to be to make the Sec
retary the real head of the Navy
Department equal to the First Lord
of the Admiralty as it is in the Brit
ish establishment. The plan fur
ther looks to the distribution Of the
work of the Department among
i've divisions, three controlled by
officers of the Navy, one by the
First Assistant Secretary and fifth
by an expert technologist. The eff
feet of the plan would be to estab-
lish in the Navy a general staff"
similar to that now working so ef-
fectively in the Army.

1t appears that Caribbean Re-
public. embracing Cuba, Porto Rico,
San Domingo and Hayti is possi-
bility of the future. At the time OF
the close of the war in Cuba, sug-
gestions were mooted for the forma'
tion of a West indian Republic, in
cluding these islands with Mexico
as the piece de resistance. Mexico,
by virtue of her proximity to the
United States and through the be-
nign and tonic despotism of Diaz,
has been for quarter of century
stable government and would
probably exercise a salutary influ-
ence over the turbulent islands to
the south of us.

TAFT AND SHERMAN
President and Vice President Inaug-
urated i'm Senate Chamber at
Washington During Raging
Blizzard.


ond Inauguration of Andrew Jack
son in 1888, VIM. H. Taft was in
augurated President of the United
States and James S. Sherman Vice
President in the Senate Chamber at
Washington last Thursday. More
elaborate plans had been made for
the event than ever before, and
200, 900 people had assembled in the
capital city to witness the ceremony
but such a blizzard ragged as the
city had scarcely ever before seen,
covering everything with snow and
sleet, while the wind blew a gale,
so that it was impossible to have
the ceremonies in the open air, and
the oath was administered in the
Senate Chamber.
A description in detail of the GER
emonies has filed the daily papers
and been read and re-read, so that
g. repetition now would not be of
interest. The inaugural address of
President Taft in the words of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, was the greatest
inaugural address that has been de-
livered since Lincoln took the oath
CT office" 1t has already been read
by nearly every citizen of the re-
public, so we will occupy our space
with only the following brief out
inc of the Taft policy as shown in
the address:
II should be untrue to myself, to
my promises and to the declara-
tions of the party platform on which
l was elected if did not make the
maintenance and enforcement of my
predecessor reforms a most i'm
portant feature of my administra-
ton.
Combinations of capital and eff
fort based on legitimate economic
reasons are right; those formed
with the intent of creating monop-
Giles and artificially controlling
prices are wrong.
/ recommend a graduated inher-
itance tax as correct in principal
and as certain and easy of collec-
tion
Our government is able to afford
a suitable army and navy without
danger. to the republic or free insti-
'tutiJs1s, and fear of additional tax
alton ought not TO change a proper
policy in this regard.
We ought to place in the hands
of the federal executive the means
of enforcing the treaty rights of
aliens. If we would promise we
must put ourselves in a position to
perform oIr promise.
Speaking for the incoming admin
stration / wish to say that / propose
to devote all the energy possible and
under my control to the pushing
forward of the Panama canal and
to stand behind the men who are
building it.
The negroes are now Americans.
We are charged with
the sacred duty of making their
path as smooth and easy as we can.
AS to the issuance of injunctions
my convictions are fixed. Take
away the power of courts to issue
injunctions in labor disputes and
you create a privileged class among
laboreIs and save the lawless among
them from a most needful remedy
available to all men for the protec-
tion of their business against law
less invasion.
The secondary boycott is an in
strument of tyranny and ought not
to be made legitimate.
So far as / can hope to promote
the enactment of further legisla-
tion in behalf of wage earners.
Our international policy is to pro-
mote peace.

Mr.. Taft insists that he does not
favor sweeping tariff changes. He
SIMPLY wants an even deal, with
producers and consumers interests
equally considered. The old tariff
was more of producers tariff,
with the consumers interest too
much ignored.

HAINES TO NORTH DAKOTA.
Former County Treasurer Becomes
Cashier of the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank of
Sherwood.

Mr.. E. r. Haines, who retired
from the county treasurer's office
on the first of January and has since
been employed in the Winneshiek
County State Bank of this city, de-
parted on Monday for Sherwood, N.
D., to accept the position of cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Sherwood. This is a very
prosperous institution in one of the
largest primary wheat markets in
the world, and although the town is
only six years of age, it has shown
an advancement in all lines that be-
tokens permanency and Sfebi1ity.
Mr.. C. J. Weiser of this city is pres
ident of the bank.
The regret at. the departure of
Mr.. and Mrs. Haines from Decorah
will be general. Among the many
excellent county officials we have
had, none have been more generally
popular than Mr.. Haines. for he is
man of rare ability, of conserva-
tive judgment and of abiding cour-
tesy, who readily elicits the conf
dence and friendship of all who
know him. His wife has grown
up from girlhood here, is promin-
ent socially, and enjoys the esteem
of everyone. The citizens of De-
corah will unite in wishing them
continuous prosperity and happiness
in their new home.
