Adopting a novel form of trial mar riage and finding his prospective bride meeting his expectations .satisfactor- fly, Frederick Osterman. aged 60, the street sweeper whose advertisement in the Farmer attracted considerable at tention and evoked many applicants to become his wife, has at last secured a marriage license, and is preparing to we'd s

 Osterman secured his. license to wed at the office of Town Clerk Thomas today, representing his age as 60, his employment as that of laborer. and his residence as 230 Lexington avenue. He had not broken the good news to Mrs. Baker up to a late hour this aft ernoon, when a Farmer reporter call- ed at the Osterman home.

 About five weeks ago she entered his apartments at 230 Lexington ave nue to assume the duties of house keeper.

 s.T think if any one of them lasts a month and does her work satisfactor- iIy, I'd be taking little risk in marry ing her." he told his confidants. Osterman has not been working for some weeks. owing to the laying off oi hands in the street cleaning depart ment. The date of his coming we'd dining could not be ascertained today

 Washington, Jan. 1.-The recent troubles of the Republican party are admittedly giving it's leaders food for serious reflection That the situation is acute and is becoming more so ev- cry day is apparent to the most cas- ual observer If the insurgent move ment in the House were the only men ace confronting Taft's party, the sit- uation would be serious enough. But the fight on the rules and Uncle Joe'' is only one of a number of elements, including the progressive movement in the Senate; the Baliinger-Plnchot trouble: the increased cost of living scare: the sugar scandal and the tar if wrangle.
 That the President must sooner or later declare himself for or against the Speaker in the insurgent fight seems inevitable. No matter which way he turns, more party trouble is sure to rise.
 The LaFollette-B -Bristow-Dolliver com- ate has a strong following in the southwestern states and threatens trouble next summer during the Con- gIessional campaign. This wing of the Republican party is apparently almost ready to tear itself off on account of the tdrlH Wnlcn Was not TeVlSeu uoWH enough to suit it. In the west the Ballinger- Pinchot fight is melting the iclcles off the prairies. In the far northwest where the forestry bureau prevented the lumber companies from grabbing what was left of the timber, Pinchot is the hero; in the arid states where irrigation is the industry, Bal finger is the idol of the farmer. No matter which way the Congressional investigation committee jumps in it's finding. capital will be made of the

 The Democrats are already painting rosy pictures of victory for the party in the Congressional elections. '.This is a Democratic year." cried Repre- in the House. and we are going to win with the aid of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bi,l.''
 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party" shouted Champ Clarke, the Democra- tic floor leader, at the Kansas City Jackson dinner, For we've got 'em on the run.''
 eff we can't win this year, we nev- CT can,'' said Representative Under wood. Democrat, Alabana.)
 The Republican wheel horses assert that when the right time comes around every good Republican will settle his own personal quarrels and whoop things up for the cause. ..The boys always turn out with the hose car riage when the fire really starts,' said Speaker Cannon, 'but they're not turning in an alarm every time some fellow throws a cigar stump into the gutter"
 The insurgent members of the House who are fighting for their political lives and who have lately been land ing some pretty heavy blows on the Speakers most vulnerable spot--his House control-assert that Cannon will come to the conclusion that his dom- iciie is afire sure enough before they get through with him
 If Roosevelt should be with Taft when he gets back, as all friends of the administration hope and say he will, the party ship may be waited into the safe harbor of victory in November. If events should turn out otherwise, there might be a chance of hitting the rocks.

 Concluding, Hea1y said:
 There are many prospective laws now before our national Congress that are of interest to the farmer and which should have the support of various or ganizatiens of national scope. Among such laws are the bill for rural free delivery and a parcels post.
