st. Petersburg. Feb. Theoretically
all of the children of the imperial
court are victims OF an endemic of
measles. and the entire blame for the
situation is placed upon the Grand
Duchess Olga.
The Grand Duchess Olga contracted
the disease from her sister the Grand
Duchess Anastasia, and indiscreetly
wrote of her plight to the little daugh-
ter of Grand Duke George. The latter
kissed the letter, as did all the cour-
tiers who handled it, according to Gus
tom. They. in turn, kissed their chill
dren, and all were stricken.

The senate wasted lot of perfectly
good time, yesterday, in a wild effort to
verify some of the frothings of Uncle
Dave Leahy. The senate should have
known better, in view of Dawes record.
Most any old time newspaper man could
have informed the senate that Daring
Dave and Absolute Fact were perfect
strangers. and might pass each other
on the street at any time without rec
ognition.
In the elder days of newspaper art,
it was Good Old Dave who established
an Cnviable reputation for Kansas. He
did not confine his dreams to home
publication; some of his widest ones
permeated the pages of the larger east
ern publications. The world at large
got the impression that all Kansas
newspaper men were high grade pre-
Varicators. and such minor lights in
the field of fiction as D. o. McCray and
Pop Vandegrift began to receive or
ders for hot stuff" Being only jour-
neymen in that line, and unable to
keep the pace set by Dave, they fell
down on their assignments. Dave was
unable to meet the demand, and as
result. Kansas fell from the high pin
nacle of fame as the well-Spring of
Whoppers. 1t was a sad blow to Kan
sas when Dave forsOok his pen to en-
ter politics, and his occasional out
breaks mark the only bright spots in
a dreary newspaper world. 1t would
be a crime for the senate to rob this
fair state of the occasional moment OF
diversion from all semblance of fact
which Dave alone is able to furnish,
and it is to be hoped that no injuncz
ton will be laid across his vivid imagi-
nation.
David is a good old scout. but it

fort for him to live down his reputation
for truth and veracity, and there is no
indication, at this time, that he is
making the effort. He has an ability
possessed by few humans; he can not
only construct a Rocky Mountain
range from a prairie dog town, but he
can beat that He can grab his trench
ant pen and construct a Pixies Peak

to stifle art of this sort will be a fail

effort. and it is useless to legislate
against him.

Still on the Gown Grade.

The special election held few days
ago in the ninth congressional district
of Iowa resulted in the reduction Of
the usual Republican majority and
this is interpreted as an Indication
that the reciprocity agreement is not
unpoDular with the farmers OF the
Middle West. The election was rend-
cred necessary by the resignation Of
CONGRESSMAN W. I. Smith, to become
federal Judge. The Republican NOM
inee, Judge W. A. Green, opposed the
reciprocity agreement and the Demo-
cratic candidate, W. S. Clevelano,
favored it. Smiths majority in the
rrevious election was 1900; in 1903
it was 5000 and in 1904 it was 49,
600. Green received majority OF
only 1900, which is 900 less than
Smiths majority IN 1910. The Co.
lumbia Record says "this may indi-
cate the popularity of reciprocity, as
many commentors assert, but to
our mind it indicates as we'll that the
trend Of sentiment in the Middle
West continues to he against the He
publican party and the protective

The New York Wo7ld thinks that
"if' Mr.. Taft were more friendly to
the Democratic free list he would
find smoother going for reciprocity.
It is ON Democratic votes that he
depends for the success of what is
likely to be the crowniHg legislative
achievement Of his administration.
It is Democratic votes that are
counted upon to- save the Republican
party from the shame of another
open confusion that 1t is impotent

when a question Of justice,
courage and good faith presents it
self, Congresses are not split by
party but By character. It was SO
in the House month ago. 1t will
be so in the Senate & month or more
hence. Having taken an advanced
position as a promis,s-keeping Presi-
dent, Mr. Taft has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by making COM
mon cause with the whole body of his
supporters. He Is in fact at the
head of a coalition. It is committed

not the trusts shall write our tariffs
and shall open and not close our
natural markets.
democrats who are Loyalty CO.
operating with Mr.. Taft know THAI
they are likely to increase the pres
tige of a Republican Administration.
If this alliance against privilege AM
plutocracy is as honestly inspired on
the Republican side as it appears to
be on the Democratic side there
ought to be a willingness on the part
Of the President to add something
also to Democratic prestige. Cana
