SENATOR ELECT WORKS OF CAL
lFoRNIA A REAL DEM
ta ocRAT.

IN
The, recent campaign speeches of
John D. Works of California were
much the same as those which Mr..
Bryan has been making for the past
fifteen years. The only observable
difference was that MIR. Works uttep
ances were more radical than those
ofeMr. Bryan.
And now, after a legislature calling
itself republican has elected AIr.
Works a United States senator, he
comes out squarely in favor of pro-
gressive principles, squarely in ia
vor of the principles and platforms of
real democracy
Here is an extract from a speech
made by Mr.. Works at reception
rendered him after his election to
the United States senate:
Progressive republicans and pro.
gressive democrats are so nearly
alike, one cam hardly tell them apart.
When the time for the progressive
democrats and progressive republi-
cans to combine against the money
power and the interests for the pro
lection of our free institutions, every
true patriot Will be found Joining
hands without reference to party"

AN AMUSING QUESTION.

While the Standard Oil Co. was on
trial for its life, in the u. S. Supreme
Court last week, Mr.. Kellogg, who
opened the argument for the govern
ment amused the court by reciting
hsw $4,000. 900 had disappeared and
never been found. He said cheek
for that amount had been drawn by
the Standard Oil Co. in favor of B.
S. Springer.
who is Springer?" inquired Jus
tice Holmes, as the bar laughed with
some lboisterousness for the Supreme
Court room.
Mr.. Kellogg explained that Spring
er was purchasing agent for one Of
the Standard concerns. He had been
examined, but could give no idea
about the check. He said all the Of
fieials of the Standard had been ex-
amined and could say nothing as to
what had been done with the s23,-
100000.

fourth general assembly of the state
OF Iowa.
Eli c. Perkins, representative from
Logan county. Illinois, i'm the Forty
seventh general assembly of the state

On the same day that Eli c. Per
kins OF the Iowa house of represen-

of that body Eli C. Perkins of the IL
linois legislature was defeated for
the office of speaker in the Illinois
house.
Both legislators have had consider.
able amusement over the coincidence
through the mails Neither knows
the other but they think it probable
that they are related.
Perkins of Iowa read in a Chicago
paper that Perkins of Illinois had suf-
fered defeat on the same day that
he had been victorious in securing a
similar office. Perkins of Iowa wrote
to Perkins of Illinois informing him
that he had been elected speaker pro
tenn. of the Iowa house and that he
couls come and take the job any time
he desired.
Perkins of Iowa this morning receiv-

Newspaper EnoIlsh.

There were two principal faults Of
newspaper English. First, incorrect.
ness, which might be due to haste or
Ignorance, and. secondly. bad taste,
which showed itself in striving
smartness, desire to write in what
these writer's themselves called a
crisp STYLE" The latter fault was
the worst of the two, though he had
no desire to excuse incorrectness. Bad
taste was not only seen in the abuse
of language; 1t was shown also in the
protrusion of the writer's personality.
1t might be said that he was an unduly
severe critic of the halfpenny papers.
But he thought he was justified in his
criticism. These papers were often
enormously wealthy. and could we'll
afford to employ better writer's or to
encourage higher standard of writ
ing in their columns. Moreover, from
their great circulation they could in
fiuence far larger section of the
public than could any other form of
literature.-Sir Robertson Nicoll. IN
