by far the most important thing
that has transpi.ed at this session of
the congress has been the announce
mont of Rep. Underwood that here

statement recognize the fact that
important legislation has been under
consideration but it should be re-
membered that IN open caucus will

the interests OF the people than any
thing else that could be Zone by con
Sress. We have taken two steps in
the right direction in the matter of
the popular election Of United States
senators and the passage of q cor
rnpt practice act.
This latter does not go far
enough by any means, but it is cor
tain We will have additional i~egis!a-
ton along these line. in the future.
With these two bills on the statute
books, congress can be depended up
on to be thoroughly representative of
the people.
The condition Of congress
would liken to Il sensitive film
which only awaits development.
Unless am mistaken. the pao-
pie are now fairly Well satisfied With
conditions in congress and, feeling
so. they should and will turn their
attention to The Judiciary. Congress
is now ponsthlc to the will OF the
people. Tho judiciary is not 1t

~ JAMES Il. MANN, MINORITY
HOUSE LEADER.

l~NopNllslit 1"ll by the United Press
.Associations.)
The democrats in the house
would have been wise if they rad
confined the special session to consid-
Grafton OF the reciprocity bill only.
instead OF that they set out to show
how they could bunglc legislation.
They prevented the passage Of the
constitutional amendmcnt for direct
election of senators by Insisting upon
coupling with it another amendment
TO the constitution to deprive the
general government of one of it's nee
essary powers.
They fought against publicity of
primary election expenses until we
strangled them into Yielding. They
nearly defeated s%tatehood for Arizo-
ma by insisting that congress give
practical approval TO the recall of
Judges. They prepared tariff bills
without knowledge either of form or
substance.
awhile entering upon the domain
OF tariff legislation they have refus-
ed to consider other needed legisla-
ton. Ne We're unable to force them
TO take up conservation legislation
and especially bills to protect and
utilize the resources Of Alaska. The
most importan: provision that con-
gress has enacted into law is that IN
the Canadian reciprocity bill admit
ting wood pulp and paper free from
Canada. That provision was drafted
by me. Their acceptance of that pro-
vision was the wisest thing the demo-
Gratis have done.
The special session has developed
the %broadness of President Taft's
craftsmanship and also the incompe-
tency of the democrats when it
comes 10 legislation. They have
tried to put the president in a hole.
They have been hoist by their own
petard. The net result of the spe-
cial session has been to strengthen
the president and weaken the demo-
Gratis before the country"

A Piece of Littleness.

Our new Senator Reed is going to
have a rocky road to travel if the
St. Louis Republic can make 1t so
When announcing his election the
other day it promised to be fair and
just in its criticisms of his course
no word about hearty support.
But the Republics real attitude
to Mr.. Reed is already seen in the
following editorial taken from
Thursdays issue: .s .,.."
1T is asserted that the obligation
on the part of Senator James A.
Reed to file a statement of his cam
paign expenses is only a moral, not
a legal one. If only legal and not
moral obligations are to be recOg-
nized, how would Mr.. Reed himself
have Jared on the joint ballot? Only
a moral and not in any eense a
legal obligation was imposed on
legislators to vote for him as a re-
suit of the primary"
Its insinuation that Mr.. Reeds
election was not the work of heart
on the part Of the legislature is
about as big pieceof littleness" as
we have ever seen. Indicator

Experts have found that it cost
3.8 cents per bushel to carry wheat
from New York to Liverpool, dis
lance of 300 miles, while the
American farmer is paying 1.6
cents more to carry bushel of of
wheat from his farm to the poor
roads, but also because time has
been wasted in prying the wagon
out of ruts by means of rails from
a nearby fence or in repairing har-
ness broken through the heavy
straining of the over-worked horses
Surely this is a telling argument
for better roads Elk,
