KENYON ACTED WISELY.

Republicans can well approve the
utterances of Senator Kenyon when
he says that he does not believe in
the doctrine that any group in the re-
publican party is entitled to commit
tee representation as a group. This
was the cruX of the situation among
the republican senators. The major
ity insisted that republican senators
should stand on their individual mer'
it's and not as recognized members OF
factions. In other words it was a
question of recognition. Had the ma
jority yielded, the insurgents would
have insisted on recognition as an in
dependent party within the republi-
can party all along the line.
The fact that as individuals Senator
Kenyon thought LaFollette and Bris'
tow worthy of recognition, does not
lessen the fact that on one OF the
main issues, the only issue worth
calling one he stood for united
party as against the clamor of fac
tionalism. BY his action Senator
Kenyon helped to deliver a body blow
to insurgency, per Sc, while at the
same time recognizing the persona
worth of some of the leaders of that
faction.
Senator Kenyon had right to eX'
press his personal choice as to these
men and he certainly did right in de
handing that there should not be two
republican parties in the nation.

he Kansas Agricultural college, Il

the Kansas Agricultural college, is
trying to encourage the farmers of his
state to get the advertising habit.
"Why don't you advertise, Mr.. Farm
ere" he asks. Get name for your
farm and then advertise your farm by
the name Fairview. Then buy under
the name Fairview, sell under the
name Fairview. have your butter
marked Fairview, print Fairview on
your berry boxes, and have eggs
marked Fairview, and paint it on your
wagon boxes. 1t won't be long before
the name OF your farm is known and
people will be calling for your prod
ucts. The town merchant advertises
and the farmer can just as well ad-
veltise his butter, eggs and produce"
Mr.. billions suggestion is somewhat
novel but it sounds eminently practi-
cal Every season farmers are adopt
ing new and advanced methods Of pro
duction. There has been, however,
but little progress in the selling de-
partment of their business, and to the

products is a most important item.

senate a protest against the action
OF the republican majority in its
treatment of the insurgents, but it was
completely answered by Senator Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, OF the reg
ular organization, stating on the floor
of the senate that while the lnsur-
gents were entitled to receive one
hundred committee assignments they
had, in fact, been accorded one hun
dred and fourteen. This statement OF
fact was a complete refutation OF the
protest filed by the insurgents.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-05-03

The insurgents at the national cap
ital are not cutting the swath they
apparently cut during the last session
of congress- While they were able to
secure the cooperation OF the demo-
cratic party in congress they caused
the republican party and the admins
tration great embarrassment, but
since the democratic party used
them to accomplish it's own purpose
and has now cast them aside they
find themselves in something of a
dilemma They had the temerity in
the senate of the United States to in
sist that they should be treated as a
separate organization and in the COM
mittee assignment should be treated
as such 1t required a great deal OF
nerve for twelve or thirteen senators
to undertake to dictate to fifty OF
their colleagues what they should do.
The truth is the republican organiZa-
ton was exceedingly liberal in dis
tributing committee assignments
among the insurgents, and while most
of the insurgents in private admitted
they were literally treated, as an or
ganization they publicly complained
at the assignments given them,
and undertook to enlist the dem
ocrats in the senate to CO
operate with them in trying to
coerce the majority of the re-
publicans into recognizing their
claims. But the democrats turned a
deaf ear to them. and said that they
were not interested in the contest,
which left the insurgents at the mercy
of the regular republican organization
But Notwithstanding this fact they re-
ceived more than their share of com
mittee assignments. Senator LaFol'
lette of Wisconsin presented to the

In these days in almost every line

forces. Every business man who has
anything to sell attempts to reach his
trade and prospective customers
through some kind of advertising.
And the more effective his advertis-

possible customers he reaches with
the story of the merit of what he has
to sell, the more successful is his
business.

.rennyson's careIessness.

Tennyson, like Thackeray, seems to
have been careless about his manu-
scripts. Some weeks after leaving his
lodgings In Mornington place, Hamp-
stead, he wrote to Coventry Patmore
from the. Isle of Wight telling him that
he could not find hook of elegies-
a long, butcher ledger-like book" and
that he had some obscure remembrance
Of lending it to Patmore. IF So" he
concluded, "all is well; If not, will you
go to my old chambers and institute
vigorous inquiry" Patmore, not hav-
ing the book, went to Mornington
Place, but was assured by the landlady
That no such article had been left there.
He insisted, however, on going to his
friends old rooms, "up two pair OF
stairs" to search, and there in small
cupboard where Tennyson had kept
bread and tea and butter he found the
lost "book of elegies"-the manuscript
of "In Memoriam." London Spectator.

The BUILDING of Homes.

Dwelling houses may be constructed
Of anything from paper to concrete.
When built Of paper they consist or
ground plans, front elevations and
mortgages. When they progress to
something more substantial they do
rot resemble in any way the front ele-
walton or the ground plan Of the paper
stage and are therefore disappointing
in, these particulars. The mortgage,
however, always comes up to expecta-
lions. The houses of the elect may
be distinguished by the buffers pam
try, the middle classes by the recep-
ton hall and those of the hoi polloi by
the parlor. Houses are useful to eat
in, sleep in, battle in, dress in, hide In,

OF ali the foreign birds to be seen In
geological collections it is the penguins
that gain the most popularity with the
least attempt to do so, says a writer
in the London Graphic, who proceeds:
They do not affably converse with the
public like parrots or make grotesque
gramaces like pelicans. Indeed, they
studiously ignore the visitors whom
they attract by their inimitably quaint
caricature Of humanity. No birds de-
part more in form from the usual bird
type, and there is something about
them which irresistibly. suggests an
oyerfed little boy in an overcoat with
the sleeves very much too tight for
him as they toddle about with their
stir wings hanging down or solemnly
