CONGRESS

~ ANNONISM received it's death blow
in yesterdays elections. The in
~ surgent victories of the past
summer only scotched it, but yester-
day it was sent to its long sleep by
the overturning of congress and the
conversion of a Republican margin of
forty-seven in the present house into
a comfortable working Democratic
majority.
In the place of many regular Repub-
licans there are returned insurgents of
advanced views who will in many
things work in harmony with the new
dominant party, so that progressive
legislation of some value to the people
seems assured. Heretofore when the
Democrats controlled there was wide
variance between their views on the
tariff and financial matters and the
views of the Republicans, who were
a cohesive and effective minority.
Circumstances have, however,
changed the alignment since the DEM
ocratic congress of 1898. The Repub-
licans are no longer united against
tariff reform; many of them are rad
ically for it. If the Democrats are
wise and want to make the most of
their opportunity they will not repeat
the blunders of the Wilson bill, but
will cast their solid strength for a
tariff commission with large powers
to take the subject in hand.
1t is impossible to frame just tariff
on the floor of congress. Trading and
Iog-rolling are inevitably a part of any
political handling of the subject. The
tariff is a business matter, and as
such ought to be removed entirely
from the realm of politics, as in Ger
many. What the country's policy is
to be can be fought out at the polls,
but the details will never be salts
factorily worked out by the old
methods.
The Democrats have a great oppor-
tunity to serve the country and earn
a long lease of power. Let us hope
they will make the most of it.
A noteworthy incident of the day
was the election of Victor Berger of
Milwaukee, the first Socialist member
of congress. Berger is an intelligent
man, deep student of economics, and
appears to have a level head. 1t will
be interesting to see what impression
he makes on the body and the country.

AN EARTHQUAKE

a NE of the most significant results
in the entire country yesterday
~ was that which made Eugene
Foss, Democrat, governor of Massa-
chusetts by large plurality over Eben
s. Draper, and probably wrote "finis'
on the career of Henry Cabot Lodge,
the senator who, to get the sacred cod
fish of his state properly protected, was
willing to barter away his indepen-
dence to Boss Aldrich to plunder the
rest of the country.
How crushing the defeat is to the
standpat element that has controlled
the Republican party may be seen in
the fact that in 1907 Draper had a
plurality of 103,6S9, while Taft had in
1908 a plurality OF 110,423. One year
later Drapers immense plurality was
cut down to 1884, and now he is buried
deep under landslide
This cannot be called a change of
sentiment; it is an earthquake, and its
causes are as plain as day. Two years
ago Foss was a Republican. He split
with his party on the tariff and made
it his issue in the election in which he
overturned a Boston congressional dis
trict Republican majority of more than
10000. This year he again made the
AIdrich-Payne iniquity his battle cry.
No prominent candidate in the coun-
try was more truly the personihcation
of the uprising against the high tariff
than was Foss. No blow it has re
ceived has been more crushing than
that from Massachusetts. The result
is also vote of condemnation for
President Taft from the state that was
his host the greater part of the year.

History has been making so rapidly
in aviation as to almost bewilder. In
no other mechanical art has there ever
been as great progress made in the
same length of time. The steam en-
gine, the locomotive, steamship, tele-
graph, telephone, electric light and au-
tomobfle each went through period
of considerable length of time between
their point of reasonable perfection
and that of practical utility. Aviation.
like the aeroplane itself, has leaped
into significance with startling sud
denness.
Perhaps no other one feature as we'll
emphasizes this as the fact that al
ready men who were prominently in
the limelight only a few months ago,
as the representative airmen, are
already falling out of the line of vision
of the public eye. Some devote them
selves exclusively to constructional

make flour out of which bread Of a
high quality is made. The velvet bean
was a vine used only for ornament, but
it has turned out to be a producer of
the largest quantity of valuable hay
and fodder known in the world.
Many of our weeds are valuable
also as soil binders, while others, If
handled rightly lose all their trouble
some qualities and can be added to our
compost piles. There are few weeds,
mainly those that run under ground or
those that go to seed with great rapid
ity, which get in the way so badly as
to deserve their evil reputation. Among
these the Canada thistle, the wild
morning glory and quack grass are
supreme for meanness.

work; others fly only to try new ma
chimes of their own design; still others
have retired after falls which have
either crippled them or taken their
nerve. Among these well-known names
are Bleriot, Paulhan, Farman, the
Wright brothers, Duray, Gibbs, Rou-
gier Sommer, Singer and RaWllnson,
r. has been said that this retirement
is largely due to the intense nerve
strain of flying, which In short time
so wrecks the strongest nerves as to
render a man unfit to go aloft under
conditions requiring an absolute con-
troll of himself and instantaneous ac-
ton in emergencies. Perhaps this has
been more true in the past than 1t Will
be in the near future, as the mechan-
ism of the aeroplane becomes perfect
ed, and possibly some automatic de-
vice is secured. leaving much less to
the decision and skill of the airman.

PROHIBITION IN OKLAHOMA

Editor Herald: Some days ago saw
an item in your valuable paper in
which it was claimed that Oklahoma
was full of "bootleggers" and that the
prohibition law was to be reckoned
as a failure. The item went on to
say that the 'joint keepers" would
have men called "lookouts" stationed
in tiers. whose business it was to
watch for the officers and give warn
ing when one was seen approaching.
The claim was also set up that this
was cheaper for them than if they
were paying license. The last claim
sounded so ridiculous to me-to think
that several men, whose services would
be easily worth from $1.5O to $500 per

Most of our weeds are our best farm
ers. They are busy working their roots
down deep into the soil to bring up
unclaimed elements, at the same time
making the soil porous. Most of them
have other uses, and it is doubtful if a
single plant is in existence that illus
lustrates pure cussedness."
The story of beggarweed is a good
illustration. 1t got its bad name when
it was supposed to be a weed and moth
ing more-the veriest plague of the cot
ton fields. A little while ago this same
beggarweed was found to be the best
forage and hay plant in the southern
states. Horses, cows, pigs, hens, every
thing devours it with greediness. The
leaves are even being ground up to

KICKS ON A NUISANCE

Editor Herald: There are some things
that freemen should make a vigorous
kick about. For some time past the
mudholes at the corner of Vernon and
Moneta caused by teams coming to the
troughs to drink has caused such a
stencil that it sickened the merchants
in the vicinity.
Today the street department put a
few loads of stuff there, but not enough
as it has only driven the filthy, stink
ing liquid few feet farther south in
front of the writer's store.
This slipshod way of doing the work
is a disgrace to our street department,
and 7 now draw the attention of the
health department to this shifted
nuisance. Two loads of gravel would
have completed the job. Why was 1t
not placed? j. K. KITES.

cHANTIcLEER's VICTIM

Editor Herald:
The Chanticleer play, with its hats
and it's gowns,
Is all right upon the stage;
But the Chanticleer crow, about
four a. M,
Puts every one in a rage.
The direst of threats from the suf-
ferers' lodge
Are at this early bird hurled,
AS the sleepless ones wish that all
growing cocks
Were all banished from the world.
Now here is a way you can cure these
ills,
And give the neighbors a rest:
off with that fowl head! Do the deed
right today!
Cook him when properly dressed!

day each, would be cheaper than pay

From relatives I learn that prohibi-
tion in Oklahoma is gaining friends ev-
cry day; that the claims being herald
ed throughout the country that "boose"
is being dispensed freely in Oklahoma
comes from those who make or want
to sell it there and can't get the chance.
They say that men who were once
"booze fighters" are now becoming
their best and most thriving citizens;
that those who would not give it up
have left, and in their place have
come a more desirable class of people;
and that business men, in particular,
realize the blessings of prohibition
more than they had ever thought of
prior to it's adoption. b. S. w.
