subversive to individuality, and aimed
to make not only material property,
but the child the absolute property of
the state.

Pave Between Tracks Soon,

James Craig, who returned from
Omaha Monday night, where he had
gone for a conference with the Union
Pacific railroad officials in order to
give some relief from the blocking of
Norfolk avenue on account of the
Union Pacific tracks being unpaved,
declares his company has arranged to
pave the space between the tracks for
the railroad company and that the
blockade will soon be lifted and traffic
on Norfolk avenue from Fourth street
to Seventh street will be resumed on
newly paved streets.
The small strip of unpaved section
on Fifth street was completed Mon
day night and nothing remains to be
done but the paving of the tracks in
that section of the paving district.
The intersection on Fourth street was
completed Tuesday. Shortage of &C.
ment is said to be the cause of the
delay in laying more concrete base on
First street.

WILL MAKE WAR ON RULES.
Insurgents are Expected to Insist on
Revision This Session.

Washington, Nov. 22.-NeXt to the
size of the democratic majority in
the next house of representatives, the
greatest interest in the after election
has been attached to the probable
strength of the republican insurgents
in the house and senate. Many re-
publican members of the house who
were reelected after promising their
constituents that they would not vote
for Cannon for speaker designated
themselves as progressives. For pur-
poses of rules revision, however, these
republicans are eliminated from the
list of insurgents who can be counted
upon to again wage warfare against
the existing rules of the house.
1t is now estimated that there will
be at least thirty-five out and out re-
publican insurgents in the next house.
They are Hayes, Stephens and Kent
of California; Pickett, Haugen, Good
Kendall, Prouty, Woods and Hubbard
of Iowa. Mitchell, Jackson, Reese,
Young, Madison and Murdoch of Kan
sas; Ames and Gardner of Massachu-
sets; Anderson, Davis, Lindburgh,
Voested and Miller of Minnesota; Nor
ris, Kinkaid and Sloan of Nebraska;
Martin of South Dakota; Rowland of
Ohio; Cooper, Nelson, Kopp, Cary,
Morse and Lenroot of Wisconsin;
Warburton and LaFollette OF Wash
ington.
In the Senate the insurgept repub'
licans in the next congress will be
Cummins and his colleague to be
elected in Iowa, Bristow of Kansas,
LaFollette of Wisconsin, Clapp of
Minnesota, Gronna of North Dakota,
Poindexter of Washington, Borah OF
Idaho, Townsend of Michigan, Nelson
of Minnesota, Brown of Nebraska and
Work of California, the probable Sc
lection of the Lincoln-Rooseyelt leeis
lature. Senate insurgents are strong
ly counting upon the support of Sen
atoTs Bourne of Oregon and Dixon OF

dency toward insurgency at the last
session.
On subjects of legislation the insur

the amount and character of legisla.
ton written on the federal statute
books during the two years preceding
the presidential election in 1912 That
there will be an immense amount of
radical legislation sent to the senate
from the house goes without saying.
Even with gain of eight seats. the
democratic senators will be able to
help their political brethren at the
other end of the capitol.
1t is Likewise true that the corscrNd-
tive republican senators will be un'

which is received from the house.
This small group of republican sena-

With the democrats in control of
the house, il is considered extreme.
~ doubtful If any member of that
party in the senate will dare to go to
the rescue of the republican leaders,
performance which has not been at

Assuming, therefore that the senate

by a democratic house, the insurgent
republicans will find themselves in
the position of a court of last resort,
always excepting, of course, the posi-
bility of veto at the hands of Presi-

Auto Kills His Calf.

Tilden Citizen Charley Calvin lost
valuable calf last Friday evening,
the animal having been run over by
an automobile on the county line. The
calf was not killed outright, but had
one leg broken and was so badly in
jured that a bullet was used to put it
out of its misery. Not knowing who
was the driver of the car, Charley lit
a lantern and started out on a run
to catch up with the one who had

he galloped along for about FOUR miles
before realizing that 2l0 pound man
had but slim chance to run down a
