Senator Borah. Senator Cummins and
Senator LaFollette are regarded by
all the other senators as being presl-

speecres of the senator from Idaho as
the debate On the pending tariff bill
proceeds, and the numerous amend

tor from Iowa, and the occasional ora

are looked upon with Indulgence by
the remainder of the senate. These

all the senators have, of the ambitions
of Senators Borah, Cummins and La
Toilette, was illustrated in an anus
ing manner by the brilliant senator
from Mississippi, John Sharp Williams
who has had charge of the bill on the
floor for the last two weeks.
The Hitchcock amendment relative
to taxing the big trusts. like the
Standard Oil company, Unwd States
Steel company, In irrational Harvest

bacco company, was before the SEN

and the presidential candidates had
got in strong; one Of them, Borah,
had twitted Senator Smoot upon his
stand for trust regulation, Senator
Norris, almost stopping over, had
made a heart to heart talk seoTt his
colleague, the author OF the amend
ment, when Senator Williams stepped
out into the center aisle, with smile
at the republican side. and spoke as

EARNING SALARY
OF 100000 YEAR
Howard Elliott, Formerly a Resident

Men Able to Make sucS
Large Salary.
IS RAILROAD PRESIDENT
Was With the Old st. Louis, Keokuk
and Northern While In This
City lie Now President N.
u, N. Il. and Hartford.

Under the caption, Men Who Earn
100000 a Year." the Sunday Chicago
Record Herald devotes considerable
space to individuals who have been
able to make themselves worth that
amount of money to divers corpora
tions. Among the number who are
earning 100000 per year is Howard
Elliott, recently president of the
Great Northern railway, now president
of the New York, New Haven and
HEREFORD railroad. Keokuk people
will be interested in Mr. Elliott's sue
cess because he was resident Of this
city for several years, being an Off
cial in the Offices Of the st. Louis,
Keokuk and Northern. Many of his
old friends are still residents Of this
city. Through all of his railroad sue
cess he has retained his reputation Of
dealing fairly with the public and the
patrons of the roads with which he
has been associated and 1t is due to
such a policy that he. has been able
to reach such high position and
demand such high salary. The Rec
ord-Herald In commenting on Mr. FL
liott's and other mems success says:
Howard Elliott, who left New York
when he was 20 years old to go out
to Illinois and hold ROD and carry
transit and do general utility work
With a gang Of civil engineers, thought
he was real fortunate in getting $40
month. He returned the other day
to accept job with a salary of $780,
600 year. On the same train that
brought him into New York there wss
a black-bearded, rather rough looking
man whose name is comparatively
unknown, yet who gets salary of
$4,000 a year and whose services

of the world
