the house from SIS to 47-this in ma

were led by Taft, the Democrats by
Bryan and the popularity OF Roosevelt
was helping Taft. In addition a bar

In the last election got into their
seats by majorities less than the 1875
dead line placed on the Republicans.
Most of these came back under re-

political argument available at pres
ent. Their battle ground will be In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky Michigan. Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. In
those states they will talk to farmers,
who, fattening on the profits from their
farm products. are not convinced that
the tariff Is keeping the price OF hogs
up. but are sure that 1t Is keeping
the price Of boots, shoes. clothing and
farm implements up beyond prices
charged for these articles abroad.
The Price of Living.
| In the cities Democratic campaign
ers will fight with grocery books In
one hand and payrolls In the other.
They will tell the voters that food Is
constantly increasing In price and that
wages are remaining the same.
While there Is no alliance between
the sinsurgent Republicans and the
Democrats, 1t Is understood that IL In

nations Democratic opposition Will
not be as terrific as that waged against
stand-pat nominees. On the other
hand, II the insurgents are defeated
for nominations there Is a strong like
lihood that they will skulk In their
tents and either vote against the
.stand-pat Republican nominees at the
polls or not vote at all.
The Back from Elba movement Will
also figure, and many OF the Roosevelt
shouters would not be displeased TO
see Mr.. Taft get Democratic Con-

there would be nothing for the RepuD-

Use Better judgment.

During. the snow storm that pre-
vailed last week the members were,
TO a great extent deferred in ven
Turing out, and as a result the streets
OF Pnoebus were almost deserted by
people ON foot. The same order OF
things prevailed during the severe
cold snap OF Wednesday and THURS
day. The tough ones, however. and
those who supposed they were strong
enough to brave the elements had
their usual everyday outing. On
Wednesday night one OF the later
members OF Company S. after a
round of enjoyment returned to the
home. and for reasons best known to
himself became bewildered and was
taken in charge by another belated
passenger and safely landed In his
barrack. These little k:ndnesses are
ever manifest among the men who

silent majority. Right here let me

Remove Your Hat.


long time ago-women were toler-
a.ed who wore hats while at the
theater. During this period their
build were modest, in fact ugly
in their flatness. when the fashions
changed and steeple chasers and sky
scrapers came into vogue. the prac-
tice prevailed OF removing them and
in fact many play house managers re-
quested ladies' to remove their head
gear. so the fellow in the rear could
get an occasional wink at the stage.
This request was always granted but
in the small towns hereabout the rule
Is not abserved. This is especially
the case a. the Phoebus theater. Al
a recent patinee those in the rear
seats might just as well have been at
home ~ the tireside for all the pleas
ure they derived The hats worn by the
women were simply ridiculous for
theater attendance, many of them
were bedecksd with bird wings tower
ing straight up to a height OF eight
inches. There was plenty Of fault
found but the wearers were deaf to
all complaints. A gentleman always
removes his ha. upon entering play
house, and there can be no good ex-
cuse why this rule would not apply
to ladies.
