the destinies Of the public.

the government Some don't have TO
work, and will retire In dignity to their
respective homes TO look on while 9TH
ers play the game.
AS usual. Senator Aldrich has moth
ing to say about his plans. He never
has. He will probably retire to mis-
palatial home al Newport and occupy
himself with gathering dividends from
the rubber and sugar trusts and the
other great Industries which he served
so well, incidentally keeping 4
weather eye upon the political machin-
cry of Rhode Island to see that no
cogs slip loose.
Beveridge OF Indiana, the only pro-
gressive senator defeated for re-elec
tion, will join the ranks OF the scribCs
after the fourth Of March, and will
earn his living by his pen" Having
dreams Of future political preferment,
Beveridge will fight shy OF the law
and its possible entangling alliances
with big business, and instead will try
to get into print some articles on the
political ideas for which he stands,
with may be a lecture or so now and
then to help out

for Elmer J. Burkett Of Nebraska He
will wend his way back TO Lincoln,

Senator Tom Carter Of Montana
thinks his retirement from the senate
is amusing-that Is, he does now ne
lidn't before It happened
"Oh, shall return to my home IN
Helena and practice law" he said
smilingly But 1t is reported that q
pice, fat federal ojb is awaiting Tom.
my. Senator Depew has enough
business interests to keep 20 men busy
for the rest OF their natural lives,
said his secretary, when asked what
the senator's plans were after the 4th.
Hes a director Of the New York Cen
trai, the Michigan Central, etc, etc,
etc"
Senators Dick OF Ohio and ekan OF
New Jersey are both so shy that they
cont care to have the public know
about their plans. Both are poll
ticians; always have been and always
will be- Dick Is not wealthy, though
he has accumulated some money since
he entered the senate. Kean Is very
