publicans holding a sort of balance Of
power in the ability to deadlock that

a narrow democratic victory on a strict

The Next Senate.

Speculation as to the result Of the cleo
ton turns largely at this stage upon the
possibility Of the control Of the Senate
by the democrats, on the presumption of
a prospective Wilson victory and con-
tinued democratic control Of the House.
The capture Of the upper branch Of Con-
gress Is essential to the democracy for
the execution Of its program OF legisla-
tive changes. The present Senate, since
the custer of Lorimer and the death of
Hepburn. consists Of forty-nine republi-
cans and forty-four democrats, with
three vacancies. Colorado, Illinois and
Idaho The democrats have already lost
one seat OF the 1913 class owing to the
overturn in Maine which insures the cleo
ton of republican to succeed Senator
Gardner. Thus assuming that they hold
all the remainder of their strength, thew
must gain six seats from the republicans
in order to obtain forty-nine, or an abso-
lutte majority. OF the senators who will

Provincial Views of Washington.
From the New York World.

Two orders issued by the Treasury De
partment have given Washington a thrill
of life along her streets and in all hel
parlors. One authorizes the ladies of the
department to have tea in the afternoon
just as to the diplomatists of the state
office. The other permits gentlemen OF
the Treasury, when travelling, to draw on
the public funds for as much as a dollar
week to have their trousers creased
Though these things seem as trif1es to the
jewellers in crowded centerS of strife OF
on lonely farms remote from culture, they
are not tr;hes to those that either live in
Washington or board there for the win
ter. The relations of government to So
ciety. spelled with capitals. are not under
stood in the provinces. Only in Washing
ton are they felt and studied and revered.
A cup of tea and crease in the trousers
leg are nothing in themselves. but when
officially recognized they become symbols
of CLASS" unmistakable and uplifting
Society in Washington has long wished to
establish the custom of serving tea on the
terrace at the Capitol as it is served on
the terrace of Parliament House in Lon
don. The establishment of such a func-
ton would at once assert the intimacy of
society and government. Ladies could in
terest themselves in politics without going
into the lobby. Congressman would be
brought within the refining influences of
feminine society. There would be a mu-
tual benefit. Such are the virtues of off,
cial tea.

Continued Balkan Success.

After the Turko-Balkan war is over

explanation Of the amazing weakness

Election Bets or Bluff.

Betting on the election in many cases is

that such is the fact with a great deal

Mr.. Perkins and His Party,

In his recent testimony before the Clapp
Investigating committee George W. Per-
ktns Endorsed the contribution made out
OF life insurance trust funds to the re-
publican campaign Of 1904. In its COM
ment. the Springfield Republican says:
1T is not amazing that in 1904 Mr.. Per-
kins should have held that view; it Is
amazing that he still holds it, Then the
Republican adds: THE progressive par y
cannot afford to sustain him in his atti-
tude.''
Mr.. Perkins is of too uc.. Importance
to be rebuked. He knows his party. and
his party knows him. He takes no risk
in speaking frankly about past. present
or future. Should he lose his head entire
" and make a reaT break" he might
receive a gentle tap on the wrist, but he
is safe from the danger of a knockdown
blow from his own side. AS chief COM
missary he is very necessary to the pro-
Gressive cause. and therefore somewhat
privileged with both tongue and pen.
Mr. Perkins, business man, claims
10 take a strictly business view of matters

Greeks of Today.
From the Detroit News.

The young men who have left the
Greek colonies in the American cities,
inhamed with zeal for the fight against
the Turk, have a personal memory of
that singing Turkish victory in 1897 and
a personal consciousness of Turkish tyr
amy lasting several centuries Until the
Turkoman swooped down upon the Greco
Roman empire the pride of Sparta Ath-
ems and COrinth had not been utterly
crushed. No ethnolOgist could trace the
Greek of today to the Greek of Lycurgus
and Pericles' time, to the Greek who
built the Parthenon, who wrote the
tragedies, who framed the laws and phi
losophies. who gave to Paul his theories,
and who breathed life into marble Yet,
inhabting the seIf-same hills and val
leys. islands and harbors. they draw a
fond inspiration that reaches even the
dber of the expatriated Greco-American
bootblack.
