In the affairs Of government, a
revolution has taken place; some So

ideas long rejected have been re-

innovations has come new man.

You are," the president replied. T am heartily in favor of it."
 "In that case" continued the visit ors, it is necessary for you to auth orize us to go back to the Senate and say that very thing-and say it forcibly and as coming directly from you"
 "Very well," said the president, you have my permission"
 That was all that was necessary. No sooner had these administration supporters returned to the Senate and passed the word than the senators, who were inclined to demur, became enthusiastic advocates of the bill, ex- cept Bacon and Williams and Hoke Smith, and one or two others; and the bill passed as set forth.
 This teaches us, Jim, that the peo- pie are paramount; that we have cast off the shackles of conservatism; that a constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of senator's which must be tried out by thirty-two of these statesmen this very year is direct foe to all species of reac- tion; and, further, that every time the president of the United States whistles a jig tune the Democratic senators instantly feel disposed to dance a jig, no matter whether jig dancing upsets all preconceived the ories of constitutional checks and bal ances, all precedents hitherto thought to hold the Senate as the great con- servative body of the national legis- lature; for, odd as it may seem, the two things the Senate of the United States fear most are the president of the United States, and their own po- litical futures
 What they think away down inside is another matter. If it is time to be radical-as it is-they will not al low any mere bagatelle of forty mil llOIl uOlldIS lOl SONeIIlIueIll IdllIOdI to stand in the way-especially if the president intimates they'd better not.
 The bill must now go to the House of Representatives, and the sentiment there is very much as it was in the Senate before the word of direction came. In their hearts, also, the great mass of the Democrats are not in fla vor of this project, and a good many of them are stubborn in their opposi- tion. However. the Senate has pass ed the bill--and passed it because it was up to the Senate to pass it for the reasons have set down here; and the House will fall in line.
 Work has begun on the House Democrats Most of them will be converted, and once more we shall have an illustration of the great and interesting truth that the man who is running this government. both in it's executive and it's legislative depart ments, is Woodrow Wilson. sometime of Princeton University.

FORGED
 PASSAGE R. R. BILL
Democrats in House and Senate Op- posed 1t But When President In-
 ? sisted They Changed Staad

In the last Saturday Evening Post is given an account of the passage of the Alaska railroad bill in the Sen ate and the credit for passing the bill is given entirely to President Wilson, who assured themembers of the upper house that the administration desired
 that the bill be passed.
 Part of the article is given below Four days before that Alaska rail- road bill was passed by the Senate | forty-six to sixteen-the bill was
 beaten by about the same vote. In their hearts the great bulk of the Democrats in the Senate are not for government railroads. Especially is this true of Alaska as a field for op- erations; for each senator who re- luctanuy applauds the doctrine of
 government railroads would Vastly prefer to appropriate money for such railroads in his own state, where he could get some political good out of them, instead of in Alaska, which fla vOred country, f many of the sena- tors could have their way about it, would be sawed off these United States, lowed out to sea, and sunk. Still, nobody has yet gone so far as to suggest government building of railroads in the states, though that may come-and the Senate had only the Alaskan proposition before it. The Senate realized that this Was in sense, at least, and particularly in a far-western sense--a popular measure, strongly advocated by Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, who is informed about Alas kan affairs; but there was grumbling and dissent The senators earnestly desired to be radical-but not any more radical than the circumstances demanded and the exigencies war ranted They thought this was too all-fired radical--too much like talk ing all the hurdles at once, instead of proceeding, in leisurely manner to go over the jumps one at time
 It was well enough understood that the president favored the measure; but he had issued no instructions, and the Senate felt disposed to do lit tie off it's own bat-just for change Some of the strong administration men made a poll and. to their dis may, found preponderance of Dem ocratic, sentiment against the bill They saw the situation: Here was bill that was proposed by Secretary Lane and hl1 the approval of the president, and it was in danger be-
 cause there were no definite instruc- tions to get into line and be as radi- cal as needful along the lines laid down. These administration men went to the president and said
 "Mr.. President, are we correct in assuming that you desire the Alaskan railroad passed?"

MYSTERY OF THE SALMON.

So far, however but few salmon have
