AN AMAZING SPECTACLE

The amazing spectacle Of a po- Itical party gaining strength in one house of congress, while losing sharply in the otner, is still causing comment among politicians at Washington City. In the last election, the democrats made de cided gains in the senate, but their majority in the house was reduced by more than one hundred. In short, the democrats lost more than 50 seats in the house. which were filled by republicans, while in the senate not a single democrat who was Up for reelection was defeat- ed. while several republicans were replaced by democrats, notably in California, where Phelan surprised U @ country by winning, and in Wis cOusin, where the old time group of the republican party, after defeat ing La Follette's friends in a straightout primary fight, was un- able to hold the democrats.
 In Illinois. where the' victory of Roger C. sullivan had been looked for. the democrats did not lose a seat, though they lost q splendid chance to gain one. The same circumstances prevailed in ohio, where Burton, republican will be succeeded by Harding, republican, in New York where Rot. republican, will be succeeded by Wadsworth, re- publican, in Kansas, where Bris. tow, republican, will be succeeded by Curtis, republican, and in con- necticut, where Brandegee was re- elected.
 All this brings up the question of whether the republicans Can gain control of the senate in the presiden tial election two years hence. Cau- tious pronosticators do not believe it possible, even in the event Of a republican landslide. should a republican house and president be swept into office, even on a perfect tidal wave of republicanism, it is be lieYed, it would almost be out of the question to hope for Q repub- Iican senate, until the incoming re- publican administration was two years old.
 A glance over the list of sena- tors whose terms expire two years hence will show the convincing req son behind this line of argument.

EDITORIAL P AG GE

The democrats, as a result of the I election just over, will have 56 sen atOrs, the republicans 39, and the progressves one. The terms of thirty two of these will expire in 1917, their successors being elected in the fall of 1916 at the presiden- tial election. Of these thirty two, seventeen are democrats, fourteen republicans, and one progressive.
 The democrats arc: Ashurst, of Arizona, Bryan, of Florida, Chilton, Of West Virginia, Culberson, of Texas, Hitchcock, of Nebraska, John son, of Maine, Kern, of Indiana Lea, of Tennessee, Lee, of Mary land, Maritime, of New Jersey, My CTS, of Montana, O'Gorman, of New York, Pittman, of Nevada, Pomerene Of ohio, Reed, of Missouri, swan son. of virginia, and Williams, of Mississippi.
 The fourteen republicans are: Catron, of New Mexico, Clapp, of Minnesota, Clark, of Wyoming, Du Pont, of Deleware, La Toilette, or Wisconsin, Lippitt, of Rhode Islana' Lodge, of Massachusetts, McCumber' Of North Dakota, Mclean, of Conn, Oliver, of pennsylvania, Page, of : vermont, Sutherland, of Utah, i Townsend, of Michigan, and works Of California.
 ! The progressive is PoindeXter, Of Washington state.
 ! To get control Of the senate at the election two years hence, It would be necessary for the repub- licans to re-elect all the republican senators in the list just given, counting in POindeXter, Or to elect a republican in his place. and to 1 elect republicans in the place of at least seven of the democrats. Dis regarding the possibility of the democrats winning in one of the re- l publican states, the republicans have an excellent chance of defeating the democrats in Maine, Ohio, and Ne braska, but after that the chances become slim.
 This leaves them with four states TO carry for senator now repres- ented by democrats, and the follow ing list of doubtful states: New York, West virginia, Indiana, New Jersey, and Montana, this year, so ! it would not seem that the pros poets were good there, while Montana elected a democrat rep . resentatiye this year.

SIMPLE BUT SURE
Hyomei the Great Catarrh Remedy
"Just Breathe TT and be Cured

Do not try to cure catarrh, head

These common but dangerous ailments
that often cause the loss of hearing

Hyomei is a mixture. of antiseptic

disagreeable medicine; simply use the
inhaler a few times daily and this
health-giving medication will quickly
soothe and heal the irritated tissues,
stop distressing choking and unclean
discharges-you breathe freely-dull
headaches cease, and every catarrhal
symptom soon vanfshes.

Arbitration a F allure
In International
Disputes
By John BASSETI MOORE.
Statesman and Publicist

IT is more difficult to arrange a
court Of arbitration today to
which the United States is a
party than it was hundred and
twenty-five years ago.
1T is MY DELIBERATE OPINION
THAT THE GREATER PART OF
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SINCE
THE FIRST HAGUE CONFERENCE
IN 1899 BY THE so CALLED
FRIENDS OF ARBITRATION HAS
RETARDED RATHER THAN AID
ed PROGRESS.
Secretary Hay said arbitration is
obligatory in the Interpretation Of
treaties, but that it is not obllga-
tory if it affects the vital interest,
the national honor, the independ-
ence or the interests OF a third
power. / CANNOT CONCEIVE b

woman in her effort to hold her repu-
tation as cook, overloads her table.
Today such a display is out of taste.
If one cannot afford to use nice
linen all the time she may surely have
one set to use when entertaining. The
bare table is now so commonly used
with pretty doilies that most women
hail the custom as a most economical
one.
For a simple luncheon the Japanese
sets, which make no pretense of being
anything but cotton, but which have
pretty designs in artistic colorings, are
well liked and are cheap in price.
Flowers for the table always add a
restful look and may be the simplest
little plant or most pretentious hot
house bouquet. A very pretty fern
like plant may be grown at home by
planting a few seeds of the grapefruit
in small pot. The glossy leaves look
like rare plant.
When candles are used, one may
have the glass capdlesticks, which are
very inexpensive, and the shades may
be made at home of the color desired.
Candle light is much softer and pref
tier when coming through dainty
shades than any other light.
Even for small companies, the salad
and dessert course is much daintier
and may be served much more effect
lively as to decoration if served indi-
vidually.
The stemmed glasses make a most
dainty receptacle to serve both des-
serts and cocktails, while the handled
cups of glass can be used either for
punch or sherbet.
Whatever service is used, it may be
dainty if cheap. In this age it is not
the most money which buys the pref
test things. Simple designs in the
dishes used, as we'll as in cutlery and
linen, is the sign of good taste.
