Washington, Nov. 16.--The scram-

which will be controlled by the DEM

where the campaign for capturing
the plums that are expected to be
parceled out by the democrats mas
assumed an interesting aspect. Al
though the democratic house Will NOT
take possession of tle situation un-
til December, 1911. there are many
employees around the capitol who will
feel the effects of the recent election
when the present session of congress-
ends on March 4, next.
There are four excellent positions

bag and baggage preparatory to leav-
ing the capital next spring. and like
wise Sergeant-at-Arms Henry A. Cas-
son. Doorkeeper Lyon and Postmas-
ter Samuel A. Langum already are
on the move.
These are the four big places
around the house end of the capitol
although there are many other Incl
dental positions. There must be ap-
pointed secretary to the speaker,
which place is now held ty L. White
Busby; chaplain, superintendent of
the document room, librarian and SUI
perintendent of the folding room.
When a new sergeant-at-arms is
named to succeed Mr.. Casson he will
have a very large number of appoint

All the messengers, majority and mi
nority employees, deputies, laborers
and others will come under his juris-
diction.
Doorkeeper Lyon viii have many
good places to distribute, including a
number of special employees and mes
sengers.
The big scramble, however, is COM
ing over the smaller places and al
ready it is apparent that there will
be hundreds OF applicants for the
secretaryships of the various COM
mittees of the house after the big
places have been filled. There are
81 committees and each must not
only have a clerk, messenger and
assistants, but frequently special en-
ployes are placed on the rolls.
There also will be special officers,

desired plum. He is working with
his colleagues in the hope of secur-
ing their Endorsement when the first
caucus is held next fall 1t is under

on their way to Washington for the
purpose Of placing their candidacy
before the members of congress and
that they will get in some effective

Colfax Springs, Iowa's Health Resort,

Most Rock Islanders have heard of
Colfax Springs. Iowa, for years, and
yet many have only general idea
Of where 1t is located OF what has
been done to develop it as a health
sort. Few know that q Davenporter,
Colonel J. P. Donahue, Is the owner of
the big new hotel there, that he has
expended 100000 In improvements
and is now busily engaged in spread
ing the fame of the place and the wat
ers from its springs over the middle
west.
For years the medicinal properties Of
the Colfax waters have been known
and an attempt was early made to
establish there health resort. The
first efforts in this direction were f1nan-
cial failures, but Colonel Donahue
thought he saw where the trouble lay,
and two years ago he began the cree
ton Of the present hotel, firmly con-
WINGED that he could make success of
his venture. Results obtained already
bear out his optimism.
What he has done is pretty well

Nanishad Mountains,

It has been observed that in the
neighborhood Of great ranges of noun
tains the force OF gravity Is siighter
than elsewhere, and the explanation is
that the earth's crust is less dense be-
meath the places where it has been
heaved up. Assuming this to be a
general law. one authority points out
that 1t is possible to discover where
ancient mountains now worn away
and leyeled by the action Of the ele-
ments once existed. because the den
sity of the underlying rocks has not
changed. France, 1t is thought pos
sessed one Of these vanished ranges
running along the parallel of Bor-
deaux, for on that line there is less
ening OF the force Of gravity. A SINH
lar phenomenon occurs on the plains
of southern Russia.--Harper's Weekly.

Is Popular Government Failure?

chamber DEGREES of the party mana
gers And this is the real reason why
so many intelligent and high-minded
citizens have lost interest in politics.
not in public affairs, hardly taking the
trouble to vote. 1t is because they are
aware that they can have no influence.
They do not propose to be driven like
sheep to the shambles. Their silent
protest is most profoundly eloquent.
Consider, now, the commission plan
Of city government, so much extolled.
The commissioners are elected by pop
ular vote, and thus is maintained the
form, or fiction, of popular govern
ment. But If 15 or 20 aldermen. elect
ed by the people, cannot be intrusted
with the affairs OF the city, why will
five commissioners, chosen by the
same constituency, be more capable or
public-spirited? And if five commits
sioners are preferable to 10 aldermen.
why are not three still better, and one
best of all? The logic of the situation
leads us just where the Roman re-
public was in the days of Augustus
Caesar, a consul chosen annually and
reelected as long as he commanded
the support Of the army, until one was
elected consul for life, and then, back
ed up by a powerful organization,
which happened to be military, he as
sumed imperial authority, and the
farce of popular government was end
ed. We have heard something like
this in our own land not so very long
ago. That the tyrant Is a party eau
Gus does not make it any less tyran-
nical, or it's rule any less destructive
Of the peoples liberties. That the or
ganization behind the tyrant is mill
tary, political, financial or Industrial
does not change the result. We re-
peat, whittier are we drifting?
And if the commission plan is best
for the city why is It not good for
the county? And for the state as
we'll? And why not for the nation?
Where is the limit?
Again, as to the referendum If
representatives chosen by the peo-
pie cannot be trusted to enact laws,
how can the people themselves voting
in mass enact wiser legislation? For
a stream cannot rise higher than the
fountain that feeds it, and represen-
tatives must in the long run reflect
the character of their constituents.
The absence of so many of the bet
ter class of citizens from the caucus
and the primaries Is plainly seen in
the quality of the candidates. And
the mass of the people have not the
time, many of them not the infor-
nation or the mental equipment to
wisely determine questions of pub
lie policy. Herein is the fatal defect
of the referendum.
The things that have been men
toned are symptoms only. they are
not the disease itself. The skillful
physician discovers the cause and
cures it, and the symptoms disap-
pear. The analogy holds in disor-
ders OF the body polite, and here

Many years ago the school readers in
common use contained an Grafton de-
Iivered on some important public oc-
casion by a distinguished citizen OF
the early republic. 1 cannot definite
ly recall the speakers name, or the
time and place, but 1 remember some
thing of the Grafton After reviewing
the rise and fall Of the Grecian and
Roman republics. and some modern
European attempts at popular govern
ment, he said: I'VE stand the latest
and probably the last experiment in
self-government by the people" He
recited the favorable conditions exist
ing in this new world, and exclaimed:
What more is necessary than for the
people to preserve what they them
selves have created?"
And, within our own times, on the
blood-stained field of Gettysburg, Abra-
ham Lincoln earnestly protested that
government of the people. for the peo-
pie and by the people shall not perish
from the earth"
Forty-five years have passed, and
whittier are we drifting? What means
the insistent demand for the commits
sion plan OF municipal government ex-
cept that popular municipal govern
ments are unsatisfactory, and even
fatally defective in results? What
means the endless series of investiga-
lions into the conduct Of public af-
fairs except that the people distrust
the competency or the honesty Of
those in responsible public positions,
and that even public men have little
confidence In each other? What means
the widespread agitation in favor OF
direct legislation" including the ini-
tiative, the referendum and the recall,
if It does not mean that the peoples
representatives no longer reflect the
peoples will, and legislate and govern
for personal interests more often than
for the public welfare?
It will be said that much OF this agi-
tation is uncalled for; that 1t repre-
sents discomfort and imaginary more
than real grievances; that 1t is inspir-
ed by political and personal more Of
ten than by patriotic considerations.
And while there is some force in the
remark, 1t Is impossible to believe that
it satisfactorily explains the situation
And, If only half of the things COM
planned of in public affairs have any
foundation in fact, we have indeed
reached crisis in our political his
tory, and the fate OF popular govern
ment is trembling in the balance
And what of the remedies proposed?
Investigations do not investigate. The
mass of conflicting evidence bewilders
the reader; the report Of the investiga-
tors divides usually ON party lines,
and everything goes on as before. An
appeal to the people at a general cleo
ton means more truly an appeal to
the party leaders, and the people at
the polls ratify the mandates of the
machine. If there Is one thing more

SoUARlNe THE CIRCLE.

An Aneient Problem That Has Turned
Many Brains Dizzy.
The Oldest Of problems is that OF
squaring the CIRCLE G., Of telling the
precise length Of the side Of a square
whose area win equal the area Of q
given circle.
The first attempt we know Of was
the Jews. Since at least 1900 B. @.
Chinese brains have turned dizzy over
It. The oldest mathematical book In
tae world-written about 1000 B. O.,
by Ahmes, scribe to an Egyptian king,
and now resting in the British mu-
seum-pretends to solve 1t, but it
doesn't. Our old friend Euclid pru-
IDENTITY avoids the subject.
Books have been written to prove
that 1t is impossible, others to prove
the impossibility Of proving its i'm
possibility, others again to prove the
impossibility of proving it's possibility.
One scientist, professor Of Zurich,
adopted some fifty years ago rather
original method Of tackling the prob
lem. He divided the floor Of a great
loft into thousands of small squares
and spent his days In solemnly throw
ing needles about and noting the num-
Der Of times they fell clear Of the
chalk lines, but it did not help him
much.
The important ratio which would set
tie the question has been carried to
800 places Of decimals. And still it is
not exact. II you have a taste for
sums you can start and carry IL to 600
and see what happens.
At any rate, you will soon find your
