ECHOES OF RECENT ELECTION
Pointed Comment on Some Re-
 cent Political History

Well, the suspense and agony is over with some, but with others the agony is just beginning to take effect. But it won't kill. c. phy- sically,-it may kill politically, and that is not as bad as to die, and be no more in these low grounds of sorrow. l lost some good men, and won out on some. And 1t is a fact we can't always get what we want. If 1 was sure that no dirt had been done 1 would feel better. That any man, or set of men, can stoop so low as to do the dirty thing in politics, is a mystery to me. think such men ought to be punished just like any other rascal who willfully and studiously vio- lates the law. And why men will lie like unmentionable cur dogs is another problem. I wonder if it would not be more charitable to say this about such men: q know not what the truth may be, 1 tell 1t as twas told to me" May be they do not aim to lie like dog. But l am becoming more and more confirmed in the belief that the peoples will is not allowed to de- eide who Is who in every case. This happened last year, accord ing to the tale that was told. The people put MT. Brundidge in but the politicians put him out. And 1t is the belief of many that this has happened again, with Clarke and Kirby. A man who will steal a vote will steal anything else he can get his hand on, if he can con- ceal 1t. Some things can be very easily stolen, but concealment is a question, and there is the rub.
 There are three perils that face us, Rum, Romanism and dirty demijohn politics. Rum is on the run and on its last leg, and may that leg soon give out. Romanism is getting bolder and more impu- dent. 1 am a Democrat, but do not think 1t any credit to Presi- dent Wilson (being Presbyterian) to have a Romanist as his chief ecr etary. We all know what that means; that nothing antagonistic of Catholicism will ever come un- der the eye of President Wilson MT. Tumulty will stick it in the stove, and ashes tell no tales. In Romanism would stop at being church, though they claim to be the only one, 1t would not be con- sidered so bad, but they want church and state combined, and let the Pope rule all. Bishop Chandler says, "Romanism is our

Un- tl that is fully disclosed, the work which will be undertaken during the comparatively few remaining days in the life of this congress, which dies ct noon March 4, remains undefned except that the usual appropriation bills are likely to receive first and chief attention Whether the Sixty fourth congress, chosen at the Novem- ber elections will be called in special session or will not assemble before another year no one can predict with certainty.
 After six weeks of respite from leg islative grinding, during which many participated in the political campaign members of both houses assemble prepared to go on with the unfinished business left over from the last ses. sion. That the general appropriation bills will be difficult to complete be- fore March if much other legisla- ton is to intervene, is the consen- sus of opinion among leaders of both dominant parties What circumstances may arise from the European war or changed conditions in Mexico may be the deciding influence in the meeting time of the next congress with it's new host of republians in the house.
