Lid. Aerr...i,. Work Being Done.

Although within the next six weeks primaries will
be held in thirteen States very little aggressive work
is being done by the political organizations On the
Republican side Representative Humphrey, of WASH
ington, continues to be the only member who seems
imbued with anything like fighting spirit. He is
making speciality of anaIyzing the business situation
contrasting facts with psychology, and loses op-
portunity of hammering the Democrats. Chairman
Hles. it is true, has issued statement showing how
the next House may be Republican, but it is also
fact that some of the Republican leaders who believe
in pussy-footed plan of campaign, are crtcising
Mr.. Hles for uttering his encouraging declaration.
The Democrats are in most subdued mood, and it
remained for the President to come to his own de-
ense in his speech to the Virginia editors. The fact
bers hearing bad from their home districts
that they have little sympathy with the Presidents
attitude and reasoning If ever a body of men
wanted to quit and go home, it is the Democratic
majority in the House AS for the Progressives they
waiting to hear what Col Roosevelt will have to
say in Pittsburgh next Tuesday. 1t must be ad-
nitted, however that they have shown activity
and initiative than has been manifested in the other
two parties.
1t may be that there will be no occasion to resort
the ordinary political methods in the approaching
campaign. The result will be determined by facts and
and regarding these the people will be
able to judge for themselves As matter of fact
all parties could now go before the people without
circulating page OF literature or putting a single
orator upon the stump.

Welcome, Bo Sweeney

Stepping right into the front rank of an admins
tration in Washington that is adorned with such
given names as Woodrow and Josephus, and Frank
lin, and Lindley and-we had almost forgotten-Cato.
it is wonder that the new Assistant Secretary of
the Interior gave newspaper men and others who
have their abiding places in hotel lobbies shoci,
when he inscribed on the register "Bo Sweeney,
Washington" meaning the State Timid inquiries as
to whether the arrivals name unabbreviated was
Beau Boaz, or Bonaparte, and diplomatic nsinua-
tons that something ought to be added to Bo to make
the name fit place near the Cabinet brought the
emphatic explanation from its owner that he had
written it Bo and it was going to stay Bo, because
il is the name given him by his parents and his god
fathers and his godmothers. perfectly valid reason.
and, therefore, Washington greets the Hon. Bo
Sweeney Assistant Secretary of the Interior. We'll
come, thrice welcome, Bo, The name becomes an
American classic May it not, possibly. grace the
Cabinet itself before the government changes; and
after that-welL who knows?

What Will Be the Outcome?

The present Democratic majority of the Senate is
ten. Will it be increased or diminished by the ap-
preaching election?
As already stated sixteen Republican and sixteen
Democratic vacancies will occur The Republicans
ought to carry Idaho, Connecticut, South Dakota,
Iowa, Vermont New Hampshire North Dakota,
Washington, Pennsylvania, California Utah. and Wis
consin. This leaves Kansas, Ohio, New York, and
Illinois in doubt ..... .
year ago the list of States regarded as reason
ably Republican was not large as il is today Dur
ing the interval two things have happened In the
first place, of dissatisfaction with the Demo-
cratic administration has swept across the country
and, secondly the dwindng of the Progressive vote
has been most marked In fact these two conditions
have been so emphatic that some Republicans are
quite hopeful of holding their entire strength IN the
Senate This point of view is admittedly too opmis
tic. In States which are not overwhelmingly Repub-
can the detection of comparatively few votes to
the third party will result in plurality for the Demo
cratic Senatorial candidate Mr. Roosevelt continues
to be the best and almost the only asset of the Demo-
cratic party. The question still remains. however
whether not the country is sppreciating the fact
that if If had not been for him the Democratic party
would not now be in power, and is determined not to
allow that result to be repeated

oances occur no less than nine in the South and

TUNA SOLD BY THE CAN NOW.

present season IL is expected that the
shipments will total about seven million
pounds
Tuna IL the big brother OF the aIbicore
and belongs to the same family Of deep
sea fish. While albicore often weigh as
much as fifty pounds. II is not unusual
to find tuna weighing from Is to 80
pounds Both fish are "gamy." Sports
men say that there is a fight in every
ounce OF a tuna's body. and the Tuna
Club OF Catalina Islands exists only for
the capture Of this fish under difficult
and exacting conditions. The tuna but

tunas Of certain weight with the lightest
possible tackle, is often earned after a
fight lasting three or four hours and is
much priced.
Quantities OF canned tuna have reach

popular owing TO its flavor and form.

white meat without bone or skin
The tuna are caught with hand lines
by the Cannery fishermen. They are
found In schools. following sardines.
When the fishing boats reach a school
the men throw buckets Of sardines into
the water These draw the tuna. and
then the hand lines baited with sard.nes
are thrown over and the tuna strike
with rapidity. II is not unusual for a
boat to catch three or four tons in a
few hours. Tuna are also caught with
trolling lines. The bait is a revolving
spoon that resembles a sardine. and one
boat will have eight or ten lines out.
rigged from heavy poles Motor boats
are used. as the tuna is a bold fish and
the disturbance of the crew does not
frighten him. Usually one fisherman will
care for three or four lines. and once
the school is reached the boat is soon
filed.
japanese are particularly successful in
tuna fishing. and each cannery has a
number Of these men employed--New
