sands Of persons all over the country
to learn that he is now to push that
work to completion. The same lum-
bering ken and battered prairie
schooner with its tar bucket swinging
from the real axle will again carry
the pioneer Of the Oregon country
back over the trail which he and his
family used in making the trip
through the wilderness between Kan
sas City and The Dalles, Ore. fifty
eight years ago. He will be accom-
panied by w. B. Mardon and Mrs.
Mardon and two helpers, the party
following the trail eastward by way
Of Walla Walla. WASH, southwest of
Spokane.
Though more than eighty years Of
age, Meeker is endowed with the IN
conquerable spirit Of the western set
tier and is hopeful Of carrying out
the work Of marking the trail from
east to west in memory Of the brave
men AID women who blazed the way
that led to the opening of the Pacific
empire before his spirit crosses the
great divide. He retraced the old trail
in 1906. erecting granite memorials in
the larger towns and cities; also visit
ing President Roosevelt at the White
House.
The purpose Of the trip, upon which.
the Meeker party will start within
other information necessary to map
the trail and to arouse interest in a
campaign for funds with which to
complete the work. There is a COM
mittee bill before congress appropri-
ating $4,000 to provide granite mon
uments and markers, but a clause re-
quires the father of the idea and the
various historical societies interested
to manifest their sincerity by subscrib-
ing whatever money may be necessary
in addition to the appropriation con
templated by the government. It is
planned to select a representative
from each historical society in the six
states covered by the trail to assist
in locating the overland route and
placing the monuments. ,-
At an age when most men are on
tent to lay aside life's burdens this
prosperous old farmer chooses to re-
new his youth by practically living
over again the life of pioneer days
and by defeating his old age to what
he believes to be a public duty. Mr.,
Meeker abandoned his home in Indi-
ana in 1852 and struck out for Oregon.
His present home is in that part Of
the original Oregon tract which be-

new moves that are being widely dis
cussed is the big conference of in
surgents and reformers from all parts
of the Union planned to be held in
Washington, the purpose being to
launch a nation wide movement
against privilege. In the national
capital it is limited that the result will
be the formation of a new national
political party. The plans include a
secondary conference in New York
which will have largely to do with
finance. Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the
'boys' judge" is slated to take a
prominent part in the new movement
A review of the history of the in.
surgent uprising in the senate and
house should prove of interest at this
time. The exact date of its beginning
1s not known. Some think it began
in the house in the spring of 1908.
when the appropriations committee
undertook to defeat an item Of $780,
600 in the sundry civil appropriation
bill to pay interstate commerce &C.
countants to examine the books Of
railroads. President Roosevelt threw
down the gage Of battle on that item.
Representative Townsend Of Michi-
gan championed the appropriation.
which was carried against the power
full influence Of the appropriations
committee by something like a half
dozen votes. That gave President
Roosevelt fresh courage. and he en-
tered upon a contest for the enact
ment of other administration bills.
But whether the insurgent cause
sprang from that interstate commerce
item or from any one Of half a dozen
other legislative matters in that first
session of the Sixtieth congress. on
which the speakers program was re.
sisted by members of his own party,
it steadily gained in momentum at the
south end of the capitol. In the sen.
ate La Toilette is the pioneer insur.
gent. He went there over four years
ago with a national reputation as a
Republican dissenter and lost no time
In advancing ideas about railroad reg
nlation and other corporation reforms
which most Of his Republican col
leagues frowned upon. More than any
other, unless it be Senator A. b. Cum
minis of Iowa, he had been preaching
reform ideas and creating the power
full sentiment back in the states which
has stood all insurgents in such good
stead.
One Of the greatest accessions to La
Follette's standard in the senate was
Cummins, although he has not always
fought side by side with him. Nelson
and Clapp Of Minnesota and Dolliver
Of Iowa, all older senator's in point of
service, Joined him eventually because
Of the e~xigencies Of the political situa.

timent had become rampant. These

Actors as EIoorwaIkers.

"One class of persons with whom
actors out of job stand high are the
managers of department stores" said
a theatrical agent "They covet them
for fioorwalkers. If men hanging
around here looking for work would
take that kind of job not many of
them would need to be idle Managers
In city shops offer them places. and
country storekeepers write and tele-
graph for them. Actors make ideal
fioorwalkers. They are graceful; they
are suave; they know how to please
women. But 1t is as much as a mans
life is worth to mention such a job to
the average actor. His pride is pre-
eious possession. and he would rather
go hungry than work in store in
New York. Some Of those who go
broke on the road sometimes accept
places as fioorwalkers in southern and
western towns for a few weeks. but
the manager who can induce an actor
to turn f1oorwalker In New York is
smart enough to be- elected president" J"

goes, the tenor went to the postottice,
accompanied by friend. to cash a
large money order. The official refused
to hand over the packet to him. Caru-
SO vainly exhibited envelopes, checks
and photographs; the postal employee
would not be convinced. Come again
tomorrow" he said coolly. But am
leaving this country tonight!' exclaim-
ed Caruso. II must have my money
now" The postal official suddenly ap-
peared to have been struck by bright
idea. "You claim to be Caruso. do
you? Well. then, you can easily prove
1t. Sing us somethingr' Taken aback
at the request, Signor Caruso hesitat-
ed But the postal official was insist
ent and had invited his colleagues TO
act as Judges So the famous singer
gave in his most enchanting tones the
romance from the third act of LA

claimed the officials at the concluding
notes. "And now" added the letter
clerk. here is your packet. We knew
who you were all the time, only. as
