Several of the old-time Con
gressmen who were defeated
in the recent elections still re
main in Washington and con
tinue to busy themselves with
public affairs. They have
been SO long in the habit O.
doing this sort of thing that
one would suspect that they
have not yet realized that
they are no longer members
of Congress. The awaken
ing may not come in some
cases until time for the next
monthly pay day. Then they
will surely know.

They "Took the Cue"

Ex- Congressman Theodore
Bell, of California, who. made a
gOOu run for the GOVeTnOrSh1p
last year on the Democratic
ticket, made an excellent speech
before the House Committee on
Industrial arts and Expositions
in support Of the bill comforting
on San Francisco the sanction of
Congress to hold there the Ex-
position in celebration of the
opening of the Panama Canal
Taking up the arguments of his
opponents seriatim he came to
the Oriental question and said:
"As to the cutting off of the
cues of some Cinnamon in the
Kearney riots, | may say that
the people at that time but an
ticipated by a few years the
action of the Imperial Govern.
ment, which within the last two
months has issued an edict that
all Chinese must cut off then
cues. Instead of being centured
we should be congre tulated
that we could take the cue, as
early as we did. F."

Letting Himself Go

The Hamlins had done their
best to entertain Mr.. William
Howes of Cherryville during the
weeks stay in the city, but they
felt at the last that after all he
had not enjoyed the sight seeing.
He kept referring to things IN
lherlyville as SO far superior to
anything we could show them, y
said Mrs. Hamlin to Squire Lap
ham later in the season. Il did
think perhaps the 18 story
building we touk them over
would impress him a little, but
it didn't"
eighteen storyr' said the
squire. THAT must be the
building he was talking about in
the store three different evenings
after he went home He spoke
for more than an hour each even
ing, but | understood him to say
that it was 'up'ards of thutty
stories in hight, and about halj
a mile in length. You see, Will
lam is at home now, and he can
relax without putting any slight
on Cherryvale."

The central Democratic
figure in Washington Is
Champ Clark Of Missouri,
who will make use of his po-
sition as Speaker of the House
of Representatives to cult
vate public sentiment with a
view to securing the nornina
ton for the Presidency next
year. AS soon as Congress
adjourned Mr.. Clark started
out on a lecture tour, and he
found many occasions to lei
the people know Of his alnbi-

7HE ELECTION OF
" Champ Clark as Speaker

of the House of Repre-
sentatives by the entire Dem
ocratic vote, marked the fifth
time upon which he had re-
ceived the unanimous indorse-
ment Of his party, and the
first time in history that a
Democratic representative has
been the unanimous choice
for the high office of Speaker.
While there are some mutter-
ings of discomfort over the
way committee assignments
have been fixed up, the blame
is in no ways laid at the door
of the new Speaker, as the re
sponsibility in connection with
this matter rests with the
Committee on Ways and
Means. Champ Clark is cas-
lily the man of the hour in
Democratic councils, and his
boom for the presidency is wei
under way.

u ciprocity matter is again
the center of attraction,
and for the next few weeks the
country will discuss the prop
osition in all its phases, while
its friends and foes in Con
gress will rally to its support
or seek its destruction. | he
lines are being sharply drawn
and it is a certainty that con
siderable opposition that die
not appear at the last session
will make itself manifest in
the Lower House, and whel
the measure finally goes over
to the Senate it will doubtless
owe it's salvation to Democrat
ic Congressman and then
votes. If the bill finally gets
back to the President in less
than three months, the fore.
casters of congressional action
will all miss their guesses.
And among those most famil
lar with the conditions, there
are many who express strong
doubts as to whether the
measure will meet with ulti-
mate success at all, as the dis
position of the Senate in ref
erence to the question cannot

Dead, Frozen, but
Possibly Foul Play,

Bangor. Me-, Dec. 2O.-Early this
morning, a woodsman, name unknown,
was found dead, apparently frozen to
death, in the highway, ii miles north
of Patten. The Bangor police have
been requested to look for the dead
mans companion with whom he left
camp, but on account of the vague-
ness of description given have not,
as yet, located him.
When the dead man left the logging
camp where he was employed he had
$32 and his time card with him, both
of which were missing when the body
was found, which circumstance gives
rise to suspicion of foul play.
