Dear Dad: The election OF Senator

another testimonial to the real democ-
racy OF Woodrow Wilson.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew In an
effort to speak 5lightingly Of the Ma
tional Republican league, calls II the
political salvation army Very well,
Chauncey. we can stand that. The
Salvation army is a Democratic insti-
tuition which begins at the bottom
and has done a great deal or good
POSSIBLY more good than some Special
Privilege churches.

present system of electing senators

of senators by state legislatures
Whewl n Uncle Chauncey would
only read something beside the local
and financial columns Of the New
York newspapers. he would know tha'
these senators we're chosen by primar
les, an indirect and cumbersome
equivalent to election by the people
and not really by the old-fashioned leg
islature plan.

The Hitchcock parcels post bill
4Aa4e- bust Learned had its origin with
the lobbyist and publicity agent OF t1Is
Rock Island railway, FORMER WASP
inston newspaper correspondent. This
bill. which is known as the admins
tration parcels pest bill, is a bill io
authorize the carrying OF parcels on
rural free delivery routes only. The
purpose and the effect of the bill II
II became law would be to use tie
rural routes to collect packages to be
turned over to the express companies.

In other words, II would increase the
express business and would not put
the people on ,he rural routes into
postal communication with the big
csnters of population. As a parcels
post proposition the bill Is lemon.
The national capital has another
leper! Thanks to the vigilance OF
Health Officer DIR. Woodward, who
discovered our other leper, Mr.. Early,
the district has a Filipino suspected
OF this complaint. DR.. Woodward
failed to keep Early as a permanent
leper for the district, though he did
his best. Since losing Early the doc
tor has felt rather low-spirited. The
police and physicians OF the district
have been on the alert to see what
could be done to satisfy DR. Wood
wards craving, aud finally their efforts
were crowned with succes SIS. Now our
district health oliicer is bustling about

guard and all the other dramatic
settings Of real leper for our District

Suggestion for United States sena-
tors: That II Is not necessary to
shake hands every time they meet In

MT Lobenstein found aI- most twO-thirds of 200. 900 people in the country of Hwai Juan destitute. and not more than 20 per cent of the population could provide themselves unaided through the winter and spring.
 In the whole famine district, Mir Lobenstein estimates that at least a million will die of starvation if rot aided. One cent a day is the small est amount that will support life for each person. so that a million and a half of dollars will be necessary to carry the unfortunates for five months they will require help.

A BATTLE IN THE WEST.
Reported Victory of Vega Over
 lnsurrectos.

San Diego, Feb. S.-The first fighting since the Mexican instruction drifted west of the Colorado river occurred late yesterday afternoon when a part of Governor Vegas troops encountered a body of rebels, whose strength is not known. near Joopa, about sixteen miles southeast of Campo. The reports of the affair come from federal sources and from an old Mexican resident of Joopa who saw the fight.
 According to the version of the fed erals the firing lasted about three quarters of an hour, many shots being exchanged, and the insurgents then fled. leaving fifteen of their men killed. The federals lost two men killed. The spells of the victory were six horses and several thousand rounds of am intuition captured from the rebels The ammunition was all of American make.
 Ignacio Castillo. an old prospector and farmer living in Joopa canyon, saw the fight and in the main confirms the foregoing version of the federals. He was unable. however. to say how many were killed, but saw several fall dur ing the fight After the combat Cas- tillo was arrested as a rebel sympathiz- CT, but was allowed to escape. He made his way to Campo. The fight at first was claimed to be a crushing blow to the insurgents. but tonight the Unions correspondent telephoned from Campo that the federal detachment fell in with only small band of the rebels and that the main body of the insurgent force was not engaged.
 The correspondent adds: Governor Vega, although very sick, will move in the morning for Picacho, the present stronghold of the rebels. with all the men he can spare from the camp near Campo. Governor Vega sent a runner today to Tecarte to telephone to Tia Juana to rush to his aid every available man that could be sent"
 The correspondent adds that Vega is likely to go against heavy odds at Pica- cho. The rebels are strongly intrenched there and without an overwhelmingly superior force it will be very difficult to dislodge them. The country is rough and wild. and the assailants of the Picacho stronghold will have hard
