their innings. Good roads in the farm

travel and the cheaper delivery of small
parcels are of great moment to the
people During the time the postoffice

Constitutional Amendments.
Our old constitution is in sad need
Of amendment in many particulars,
judging by the number of resolutions
that have been presented in both
houses Of congress during the closing
days Of the session. Of course it is
not expected that action can be taken
on these resolutions now, but it is in
tended that they shall be considered
by the people with view of securing
their help in having them passed
Again l may remark that it Is not
easy to amend the constitution. Not
since the so called war amendments
have any been ratified, although two,
he income tax amendment and that
providing for the direct election of
senator's. have been before the states
Tor some time.

The insurgent movement in the re-
publican party originated in demand
for tariff revision. and reached It's cul-
mination when Mr.. Taft delivered his
Winona speech describing the Payne.
Aldrich act as the best tariff ever
enacted.
The insurgent movement is ending
in Roosevelt third-term boom. Most
of the insurgents are identified either
directly or indirectly with the Roose'

profess to favor LaFollette or Cum.

defeat of Taft in the convention means
Roosevelts nomination.
So far as the tariff is concerned
Roosevelt is as much Of a standpatter
as Aldrich or Cannon. During all the
years he was in the white house he
never lifted finger to bring about a
reduction of the extortionate Dingley
duties. He was the intimate political
associate of Aldrich and Cannon and
he played their tariff game.

EVENING STORY
cuPID's LUCKY MOVE.
BY Olive Roberts Barton.

Senator Elias Lansing wanted to
get married again. So did Mrs. Marsh.
That is, Senator Lansing had not
dreamed of marrying until he saw Mrs.
Marsh and Mrs. Marsh had no desire
to assume matrimonial VOWS for the
second time until she met the senator.
They had met at reception at the
Italian legation one afternoon, and
as soon as the senator had made MS
best bow to the bright little woman
in the stunning gown and hat OF
kings blue Cupid began to get IN his
work. The blue velvet hat on the
soft golden hair made her look very
girlish, and the senator. looking from
her to the slender girl beside her,
wondered If he had heard Alright
when presented to her daughter.
Mrs. Marsh and Isabel met the sen.
ator often at teas, dinners, theaters
and balls. Washington began to look
wise and nod it's head when the sen
ator took to dropping into Mrs. Marsh
box after the first act, or walking
home from church with the widow
and her daughter. And Mrs. Marsh
was always wearing tviolets these days
huge bunches-with the usual
orchid
The man was in love with the
widow. But the trouble was this:
He was poor-poor, as senators 60
Having no one to support but him
self. he was able to afford the show
the world demands of a senator. He
had an apartment that was all that
an apartment should be. And his
clothes, his servants and his car came
IN to the public demand. Until now
he had resisted manageable daugn.
tiers. debutantes and widows.
On the other hand Mrs. Marsh,
after ten years absence, had come
back to Washington, taken a small
house with huge rent, and she and
her daughter wore gowns which were
the envy Of every woman in the cap
.ital, It was true the gardner did run
the electric car for them and the
same maid was always in evidence
but what of that! Such gowns and
such a well-kept house seemed to sig.
Nifty an ample supply of money to the
senator's simple mind.

can't live on my income" he said over
and over again to himself. Even II
