THE DEMoCRATIc SENATE.

There will certainly be As democrats
in the United States senate after
March next The state Of New Jer-
sey, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama. Mississ-
ippi, Louisiana. Texas, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,. Tennessee. Indiana, Montana.
Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and
Oklahoma. 20 in all, will send two sen
ators each; and there will be one sena.
tor from each Of the states Of Maine.
New York. Maryland, West Virginia,
Ohio. Kentucky. Kansas and Nebraska.
II not another democrat should be
elected the party would have control
bv the casting vote OF the vice presi-
dent
There is a practical certainty OF
further gains, however A democrat
is sure TO be chosen in Delaware, and
one, maybe two, in Illinois; while out
OF the other legislatures now dead
loCked-namely those OF New Hamp-
shire, West Virginia and Wyoming
the chances Of the democratic candi-
dates are as good as any OF the other
parties. Without having to depend on
progressive aid the democrats will be
ablo 10 pass at the special session TO
be called by President Wilson in
March. and without unreasonable de
lay. such tariff and currency legisla-
ton as may be determined in the coun-
ellis OF the party and as is called for
in the mandate Of the people
Il would not be surprising IL the dem
oCratic majority in that body should
be 81 or 50 when the senate opens for
business on March 4. with the pros
peCt OF this majority increasing dur
ing the continuance Of the Wilson ad-
ministration. Maryland is almost sure
TO send one in place OF Governor
Gainsborough's ad interim appointee
when the legislature OF the state meets
next year.

tee, the republicans we're IN power in
both branches Of congress and seemed
likely to be for many years TO come
Mr.. Lloyd inaugurated a plan Of close
cooperation with the democratic can
didates for congress that was more
systematic and effective than any pol
icy that had ever been worked out be
fore. Then he built up one Of the
largest democratic news syndicates in
the country.
Mr.. Lloyd then felt the people were
not getting the Washington news from
a democratic viewpoint, and he deter
mined to supply it to them through the
country press, not only during cam
paigns, but all the time. Ever since
Mr. Lloyd has been chairman Of the
committee, the country democratic
newspapers have been furnished with
a weekly Washington letter Of demo
cratic news. The publication Of these
letters has been Of the greatest help
TO the congressional candidates.
Mt Lloyd also originated a statistic
al bureau to g9her data for the news
paper letters as well as the cohgres-
sional candidates. Mr.. Lloyd has de-
voted much hard work 10 the cause,
and feels that the time has come, now
that the democrats are in the escend-
ancy, for some good man to step in
and take his place
James T. Lloyd is one Of the ablest
and most influential mea in congress.
He is a wise and prudent man.

PREHISTORIC ANIMALS.
Rocks In Which They Are Preserved
Denote Their Age.

Rocks In Which They Are Preserved
Denote Their Age.
Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and
handed down to US through all the ages
had these remains been exposed to the
air
Fortunately for the scientists Of to-
day. when these animals persisted the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. 1t
encompassed the carcass of the animal,
held it tight from air and water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until it
became solid rock
Some Of these remains, even those
OF the oldest animals, have been dis
covered quite close to the surface. This
is because the crust Of the earth is
like a paper wrapping. folding and
crumbling under the pressure of the
gases and fire of the interior. with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down, so that the
lower strata OF rock are on top.
And it is the particular stratum of
rock that reveals the approximate age
Of the animal. Biologists. on examina-
ton, can tell the age OF the rock, which
gives them the date at which the am

ried' l came here. The family with
whom l am visiting are all so inter
ested in foods and cooking, and such
a beautiful bright kitchen that | be-
gan to inquire where / could have
cooking lessons and they sent me to
you, and here l am We'll, bless
your heart" I said what an interest
ing time we'll have earning about
cooking and housekeeping, and ask
me all the questions you choose" So
here we are, with no end TO these
girls who are just to be married, or
one just married with no working
knowledge of housekeeping or cook
ing.
Brave girls? No l say cowardly
mothers. The time has come when
some one must wake up the mothers
and l may as well be the first, for the
truth is coming out fast. The rich
girl cannot go into the kitchen to
learn anything of the preparation of
foods because the cook cannot be both
cred. She cannot learn housekeeping
nor even the care of her room, as the
| housemaid must be kept busy. Some
/ of the girls tell me they can get into
the kitchen Thursday when the cook

place and is more easily managed

many observations: A bride of this
type said to me recently, Il know
nothing of cooking. but we have
fine cook and everything will be love

| cook left. Cooks usually do when the
mistress knows nothing Of cooking
and then she has to gain experience
and practice at the expense of hel
| husbands income which is not playing
fair to him, to say nothing of hel
struggles learning cooking and house
keeping, when there is so much to be
done in a new home. The very poor
girl cannot learn as she must be SEN
out as a wage Garner when very
young, and only comes home when the
meals are ready, so her opportunities
seem to be much less than the CIR

THAT ONE GOOD TRUST

Farther on In the examination, Mr..
Corey was asked if it was known
in the executive offices of your COM
pahy that subsidiary companies were
operating under price maintenance
and business division agreements?
Did Judge E. H Gary know about it?"
He did" was Mr.. Corey's answer.
Mr.. Gary testified before the Stanley
committee that as soon as he learned
of pools he put a stop to them.
Allusioh to foreign business in which
Mr.. Corey said, mill prices remained
uniform but products were quoted
lower for export than for the domestic
market, brought an armor pool to the
surface for the first time in this suit
The Carnegie company was a member.
AS in other foreign business, cOmpeti-
ton was confined to neutral markets.
Germany France, England and Amer
lea let each other alone in their home
markets. but they all sought business
in Russia, South America, Turkey and
wherever else armor plate is not man
ufactured
Mr.. COreys testimony establishes
| ~, that the Gary dinners were for
the purpose and had the effect of re
straining trade; N2) that there were
/ price agreements and agreements for
/ division of trade, and 90 that there
was an international agreement be
tween manufacturers of armOr plate
whereby the steel trust was left in
monopoly of the armor plate business
| OF this country.
Verify, the steel trust was a good
trust"

spite the efforts of the police Of sev-

never been located, or at least not
connected with the robberies The
gang has had little success in this
state. Disclosures following the ar

planned operations here and as re-
suit very close watch has been kept
