The country does not expect omniscience nor demand infalli- bility of it's legislative servants. It knows that in dealing with af- fairs of state "raw haste is half sister to delay" but it desires and requires conscientiousness, patriotism, superiority to parti- sanship politics and shrewd sense in handling the business of the nation.
 Freedom of action was restor- ed to the popular branch of con- gress two years ago. Power and authority have been given to the Democrats and to Republican pro gressives in the senate to enact progressive legislation that will make for the welfare of the entire country. Party sits lightly on voters these years. They will hold congress to unusually strict accounting at the polls next November for it's use of present opportunities and responsibility. SpOkcsman-Revicw.

THE WRESTLERS.

The becfy sports of Europe are coming to these shores, and soon their loud ki-yO0dlcS will fill all out of doors. All through the long, sad winter they'll bind us with a spell, and make the sport ing writers roll up their sleeves and yell. With def and with chal- lrngc they'll fill the public prints, they'll dish up threats corrosive and most bIOOd-thirsty hints. They'll thunder and they'll chor- tic, they'll below and dcclaim, and they may do it safely, for Gotch has quit the game. Oh, GOtch? The cOrnfield called him and SO he quit the mat, to feed his Poland Chinas, and watch them pile on fat; and while he gathers henfruit and plants the mellow Spud, a lot of foreign "liOns" are clamoring for blood. A lot of Drawn terrOrs are telling what they'll do this or uOther ter TOT when he comes into view; and so they nail the rubles and bur nish up their fame, and nothing can prevent them, for Gotch has quit the game. And when the for eign wrcstlers become too great a bore, it may be GOtch will offer to chase them from this shore. Forgetting James J. Jeffries and all that Reno dope the husky Humboldt farmer will come forth as hopc-but let us draw a cur tain upon ihis mournful theme; the bcefy sports of Europe are coming in stream. The rabbits roar like lions, and oh, it seems a shame tO earnest, thought full people, that GOtch has quit the game! Walt Mason.

Big Work Ahead of Congress.

No congress in years has had greater opportunities for broad gauged far-reaching service for the country than the one that now rc-Opens it's first regular session. None has had more serious re- sponsibililies. The behavior of congress and the net result of it's work this year will go far toward deciding the turn of the presiden- tial and congressional campaign next autumn.
 There is big business on hand and much of it.. The trust, the tariff, the interests of labor, the operation and administration of the Panama canal, currency, banking and Alaska are some of the many and momentous mat ters demanding attention from the senators and representatives of the nation at Washington.

CANNOT PLAY SUMMER BALL
Students of Wisconsin University In Games Where Admission Charged
 Called Professionals

Summer baseball playing has had tho effect of disqualifying largo ma- jority Of members of the University of Wisconsin baseball team. It is un- derstood that participation of the stu dent players in summer games has been general not necessarily on teams Of professional clubs, but in contests where admission has been charged. Under the conference rules, this latter fact is evidence in itself of professional playing.
 The athletic department now re- quires each athlete to sign an affidavit that he is an amateur in the strict sense of the word, and 1t is said that few if any of the players are willing 10 sign such statement when their amateurism is challenged only by the fact that gate receipts were collected.
