The last of the 400 temporary
clerks in the census bureau have
been dismissed, 281 of. them going
out Of the service at the close Of
February. The census director
says that the work of this bureau
will be delayed by the small ap-
preparation of congress. As a
matter of fact, it is believed that
most Of the statistical results of
the cens2s will become null, be-
cause of the lack of funds with
which to complete the work now

and at the Taft, Roosevelt and LIZ
Toilette headquarters, claims are
given out that each will cap
ture the delegation. Considera-
ble interest has been attached to
the fact that Representatives
Burke and Martin are both pro-
nounced advocates Of the renom-
ination of President Taft, and in
shedding light on the situation,
the representatives have declar-
ed that in their opinion the state
will show it's preference for the
denomination Of the president.
Mr.. Burke is at the head of the
republican congressional commit
tee, and under his skillful direc-
tlon, splendid work is done in the
interests of strengthening the
republican position and enhanc-
ing the chance of republican
majority of the house next ses-
sion. His political activities may
be said to broadly cover the in
terests Of all republican factions
OF course upon the presidency, he
and Mr.. Martin agree upon the
candidacy of President Taft and

pointed out injuries which the
Northwestern Railroad have in
flicted upon the town Of Newell
by reason of their failure to
one mile from the town itself, ano
build their railroad, which stops
one mile from the town itself,
and shows no disposition to go
farther. Now the town itself has
got into the game and wants
these representations made good.
A delegation of Indians from
Pine Ridge agency, headed by ia
cob Whiteyes, and second dele
cation from the Rosebud reserva-
tion, headed by Isaac Bettlyoun,
have been looking after tribal
matters in Washington. The red
men, among other things, insist
that they are opposed to the

Eastman, of the Sissetbn reserva-

worthy red men here, and the en-
tire delegation was taken to the

That the democrats in congress
are out to scare mp everything
they can to make a sensation, is
shown by their so-called plan Of
economy, which is in effect, a
carefully conceived plan to make
trouble for the republicans in the

posed by the democrats to elimi-

The disposition of she United
States in reference to the affairs
OF Mexico has been emphasized by
the proclamation of the president
which in effect is the warning to
United States citizens across the
border to "duck''. In Washing
ton it is believed that the only
way the Mexican situation will
ever be cleared up will be for the
swarthy people in that region to
fight it OUT, and Uncle Sam is
quite content to keep out of the
melee. No on wants interference
except those who have interests
at stake in Mexico.
REPRESENTATIVE Mann, the repub-
lican leader from Illinois, touched
a popular chord during the dis
cussion of the agriculture bill, in
which he defended the appropria-
tlons for the department of agri.
culture. He said:S :S'We ought not
skin too closely these appropria-
ations -" Then he went on to
say that the department of agri-
culture made very good use of
money that was given to them
by congress, and he pointed out
that the entire appropriation for
all purposes of the department
would cost less than two battae-
ships. 'SI have frequently stated
