The INSURGENTS OF CONGRESS
Causes For Which They Are

the Leaders Of the Movement

to light the machine in their own
states, both were elected to the gov
ernorship for three terms. and both
while serving as governor were ele-
waited to the United States senate.
Both are effective speakers, and both
deal with facts rather than figures Of
speech. The difference in their per-
sonal appearance and manners. how
ever, is as striking as the resemblance
in their careers. Both are fighters,
but Cummins is courtly and has gained
the sobriquet Of Handsome Albert"
while La Toilette Is pugnacious, with
bristling name.
Other senators that have broken out
of the reservation are Jonathan p Dol

was once tame enough to eat out of

and is becoming statesman; Joseph
L. Bristow of Kansas, who drove the
crooks out of the postoffice department

The Cannonesque inquiry. why is

supposed propounder Of the question.
Cannon himself is the reason, or.
rather. one reason. The progressives
say they came into being because they
want to make the house deliberative

suspect that their real cause is deep
er yet, being nothing less than the old
fight between equal rights and special

Who and What They Are and
Why This Body Of Progress.
i've Republicans Was Formed
By JAMES a. HDeERToN.


"HERE are several questions,
pertinent and irnpertinent, that
arise concerning the insurgent
movement. The political stu
dent asks, what is an insurgent?"
The general public. always interested
in personalities, inquiries, "Who is an
insurgent?" Uncle Joe Cannon, in
more or less bewhiskered and unsteril-
ICED language. rises to the question,
''Why Is an insurgent?" To answer
all three queries adequately would re-
quire several books. But as l have
not time to write the books and no.
body else would have time to read
them we will have to boil it down.
To begin in the good old ordinal and
ordained way: Firstly, what is an in
surgent? 1t depends on who is giving
the answer. If it were Robert Marion
La Toilette he would doubtless reply,
AN insurgent is the noblest work of
Cod, having in mind, perhaps, one
particular insurrecto. If it were Can
non who was giving the opinion But
walt! There are postal laws in the
United States against printing and dis
seminating certain kinds of words, and
/ have no desire to get either myself
or the editor into JAIL, Either the La
Toilette or Cannon idea would prob.
ably be biased. To take perfectly
dispassionate view, an insurgent is one
who wants to change the rules of the
house in which he is serving; also the
rulers He has passion for ripping
1t into Cannon and Aldrich. He wants
to revise the tariff downward-empha
sis on the "down"-or at least he
wants to do it to all the tariff that
does not affect his district. Finally

Murdoch himself is worth a newspa-

the game. He is himself an editor and
was one time Chicago reporter. In
those days he was friend of Presi-

as 1.-THE brightest man In Kansas"

old gentleman was then a celebrity in

prevent the cub from telling him that
some day he would be known as the
father of Victor Murdock,' in which
he proved better prophet than most
politicians.
AS an insurgent Murdoch is good ma
tured and usually succeeds in getting a
laugh on his opponents. Beware the
cheerful reformer In puncturing Il
sham the pin point of humor may be
a better weapon than the big stick of
argument. Perhaps the greatest serv-
ice Murdoch has rendered the Ameri-
can people was in exposing the rail

Horace Greeley used to say that the

Fels-Naptha actually does the work of
cleansing; doesn't leave it for you to do

Fels-Naptha takes the dirt out without

Fels-Naptha makes your washing twice

don't do these things.

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-12-09
SECRET OF GOOD HOSTESS
Carefully to Plan Details and Make
Guests Feel Welcome and
Comfortable.

The secret of the successful hostess
Is to make her guests feel welcome
and as comfortable as possible, and to
carefully plan out and arrange every
detail before the actual day; then
should things go wrong 1t will be by
the merest accident.
If she is giving an informal tea and
the callers are not likely to exceed
twelve the tea should be served in the
drawing room, pouring it out herself
and intrusting the delivery of the cups
and small cakes to a girl friend or gen.
tleman visitor, should the husband not
be present.
If the number increases beyond this
it Is better to serve tea in the dining
room. In any case the best available
china should be used, spotless napery
and glistening silver. Lace-edged and
embroidered doilies should be placed
on the plates which hold the cakes and
dainty sandwiches.
We are told the ideal hostess Is
born, not made, but even If the little
fairy forgot the gift of hospitality at
our birth it would seem the duty OF
every woman to cultivate this art.
We are also told that ''practise
makes perfect" and after a little prac.
tise, if her endeavors are earnest, a
woman will gain that envied reputa.
ton of being a good hostess"

CARE OF SKIN
MANY BADLY AFFECTED BY SOAP
IN COLD WEATHER.
Drying Effect Of Cold Causes Skin 10
Crack PainfuIIy-Washing POW
ders That Are Cleansing, Soft
ening and Refining.

Persons with delicate skin some
times are so unfortunately affected by
soap in cold weather that to try to get
clean with it is to harm the flesh. AL
most every one knows that cold Is
drying to the skin: that, for example,
Is one reason that finger tips, which
may be all right through the summer,
sometimes crack painfully; cold has
dried out the natural lubricating oils.
Even when the drying process does
moi go to this extent the kin will be-
come roughened by 1t, and when this
happens dust settles under in a way
which makes eradication impossible.
One woman. whose skin is like pa
per In its %delicacy, counteracts the ef-
feet Of soap by always rubbing her
hands with grease before she washes
them. Either vaseline or cold cream
serves the purpose, and the fingers
and backs are we'll covered with it.
Then washing is done with a bland
soap n warm water, drying with
great care follows. and the skin stays
smooth and white.
It Is impossible to lay down a rule
as to the use of soap. Its effects Is In.
fuenced entirely by the natural con-
dition of the skin on which it is put,
and what may suit n person perfect
~ may be too greasy or too drying for
another. Contrary to a general belief.
CASTLE soap disagrees with many per

average adults skin, and though it
suits babies admirably, it ceases to
agree as they grow older. Palm oil Is

Because he got a raise in salary q
young ma not so long ago resigned

then going into the chiefs Office
with a request for more money, a COM
plant from the chief moved him to it.
A hurry order had been overlooked

was but slightly delayed and lay upon

gave the employer a chance for offer

was one of those managers who fig

asking for a raise.
At any rate he made a mistake.
The young man without anger replied:
Just wait a minute before you say
any more. l want to tell you what l
am doing for you. l don't think you

slowly and carefully checked off on a
piece Of paper all his various little
responsibilities" about the place. He
told his employer with an even voice
how duty after duty, and detail after
detail had been shunted into his hands.
The list was appalling and convincing

that the young man was overtaxed.
