second he got through by the skin of
his teeth Evidently Mr.. Kinds has
concluded that it is easier to give the
house parliamentary points than it is
to break into the body itself.
There is no doubt that he would
make a fine speaker. but no sooner
does he get in line for the place than
he is met with the boast Of Champ
Clark and his Missouri mules. The
Hon. Champ might have been willing
enough to help elect nonpartisan
speaker while the Republicans had
majority. but will he show the same
spirit if the shoe should be on the
other foot? Nay. nay, Asher; you
have another guess coming.
If the next house is Democratic, Mr..
Clark proposes that the big noise shall
be a partisan Of the Missouri brand.
The man he has in mind halls from
Pike county, has large, open counte-
nance that reaches nearly to the back
of his head and possesses an ability to
quote Scripture. That last seems TO
be a necessary qualification for the
speakership. since Uncle Joe can also
quote Scripture either forward or back
ward
Asher Kinds is also bald faced man
who has little more hair than Clark
and whose chief feature is an eye that
is always open. Kinds used to be a
newspaper man and reported the do
ings of the Maine legislature. He was
not born a parliamentarian, but had it
thrust upon him by Reed, and the
rest he acquired by thirteen years
hard study.
One of the Maine representatives
who will not come back is Edwin c.

BY j. A. EpcBRFoN.

n FTER hearing the news from
"a Maine Champ Clark was so
n certain of being the next speak
er Of the house that he said
when he was elected he would drive a
team OF Missouri mules to and from
the capitol. Even so, he might find
driving Missouri mules easier than rid
ing the Democratic donkey. 1t has
been known to throw a number of
men in the mud. There is Brother
Bryan. Champ should not count his
chickens before they are Matched or
his speakership mules before they are
harnessed.
The Maine Republicans say the state
went Democratic because the people
were tired of prohibition. Evidently
they were tired of something. 1t took
them long time to get that way, but
when they did catch the weary feeling
they had it good and hard.
The Maine election makes us recast
our political horoscopes. In fact, every
election that. comes along knocks all
the political prophets seven ways. To
prognosticate' on elections 1t is neces-
sary that conditions stay put. In these
days of disappearing majorities and
insurgent overturnings nobody knows
what to expect. Ordinarily one of
these September elections tells us the
direction of the political wind. But
this is not a wind. 1t is a cyclone
Who is going to tell the direction of
a breeze that is blowing in all direc-
tons at once?
Political. Gales Grow Fiercer.
One day Kansas goes insurgent, the
next California makes scrap iron out
of the Southern Pacific political ma
chine, and on the third day comes a
killing frost in Maine. Later events
make 1t appear that Senator Eugene
Hale did not merely retire He re-
treated to the cyclone cellar. Those
who said the withdra walls Of Aldrich
and Hale were not in good faith can
no longer make that charge. against
the Maine senator. The people of his
state have given bond that Hale
meant just what he said. Think Of a
Democratic senator from Maine! Aft
er that the bottom will fall out and
the world VIII. come to an end.
The Maine Republicans managed to
save two congressman from the wreck,
but these two were so nearly blown
away with the rest Of the debris that
they will not get over the shock for
years. One Of them is Asher c. Kinds.
who has been the assistant speaker of
the house ever since the days Of Tom
Reed. OficiallyiHinds has been known
as the clerk: at the speakers desk
Unofic1aIly he is the real speaker, so
far as parliamentary law goes. He
has studied ansthe parliamentary prec-
edents from Julius Caesar down and
has written a modest little work Of

Maine, being brainy state, appre-

Returning to Burleigh, it is whispered
that he has been the real boss of
Heine. Outside Of the state that role
was usually ascribcd 20 Hrle, but Bur
leigh evidently did not care who was
thought the boss outside of the state
so long as he was the boss inside it.
1t is also whispered that the real rea-
son Hale withdrew from the senate
was that Burieigh told him the game
was up.
Burleigh can afford 10 retire since
he is nearly seventy years old. He
has been state treasurer and governor
sf Maine and has been in congress for
nearly fifteen years. He was beaten
for reelection by something over 2.0G0.
