Senator Brady of Kentucky i.

Senator Brady of Kentucky is
another republican who will prob
ably be succeeded by democrat,
either Governor McCreary or for
mer Governor Beckham.
Senator Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin now in his eighty-fifth year, is
not expected to be candidate for
reelection, though he has made no
announcement to that effect. Sew
eral candidates to succeed him are
already in the field, among them
Governor McGovern and Lieuten-
ant Governor Morris.
James Fl. Brady of Idaho will
have to overcome formidable op-
position if he returns. Four re-
publican candidates as well as
democrats and progressives. are
now striving for his seat.
The case of Senator Clarke of
Arkansas was practically settled
in the state primaries, and the
Alabama primaries decided on
Underwood for the senate.
OF the democrats whose terms
will expire, one of the most not
able is Hoke Smith of Georgia,
who expects to return. Gore OF
Oklahoma also expects reelection,
though he has a hard fight on his
hands. Another able democrat
who will seek reelection is Senator
Newlands of Nevada. He is pop
ular in his state, but whether he
can win out in a general primary
remains to be seen. Senator
Chamberlin of Oregon appears to
have a good chance to return, al
though a number of opposition
candidates are already in the field.
According to the reports re-
ceived the path to reelection will
not be altogether smooth one
for Senators Sherman of Illinois,
Shivley of Indiana, Stone of Miss
ouri, Dillingham; of Vermont or
Gronna of North Dakota.
The other members of the Unit
ed States senate whose terms will
expire next March, and the major
ity Of whom appear reasonably
sure of reelection, are F. B. Bran
degee of Connecticut, j. R. Thor
ton of Louisiana, G. S. Thomas of
Colorado, Reed Smoot of Utah, D.
w. Fl"tcher of Florida, M. A.
Smith of South Carolina
The present membership of the
senate stands 81 democrats, 43 re-
publicans, l progressive. The
body is certain to remain demo-
cratic until March 4, 1917. The
elections of senators to take place
this year may give the democrats
big lead in the senate.

The editor is in receipt of .
32-page pamphlet printed by the
department of agriculture, and
sent under the permit of Represen-
tative LaFolette. A letter accotn.
panies it, signed by Charles @.
Hart, his secretary, which said
secretary is said to be cam
didate for congressman from this
district. The letter says that the
pamphlet is prepared with q
view to encouraging more general
use of mutton as a substitute for
the higher-priced meats in re-
sponse to the general complaints
as to the high cost of living"
AS a minor representative of the
newspaper fraternity, the editor
feels highly grateful to Mr.. Hart
for his apparent interest in the
downtrodden individual who is
obliged to use high-priced meats,
but just why he wants to inflict
mutton upon us at this budding
springtime we do not know.
We find that one of the argu-
ments in favor of mutton is that it
is digestible-but SO is cabbage,
in time. An editor can get used
to digesting almost anything, pro-
viding he can get enough OF it to
get good start. Mutton is also
claimed to have a good flavor
but so does gum boot if yol
know how to season it.
We learn that mutton can be
cooked, boiled, or fried. But SO
can liver, which fact Mr.. Hart
may have overlooked; also. liver
is easier to eat with the fingers,
and is not so likely to crawl down
over the chin. Corned mutton is
recommended as a useful food,
and while we admit that it may be
more useful commodity than
some congressman, we would
rather have the congressman
corned, and use the mutton In
slabs.
We appreciate the edifying di-
gest of muttonary facts con-
tanned in Mr.. Hart's pamphlet,
and will use the pictures of the
dressed lamb in our usual Satur-
day night stew. Most Of the reci-
pes are at present unavailable be-
cause they require mutton, and
Mr.. Hart failed to inclose sam
pie, but we presume the recipes
will keep if properly packed.

The Humdinger is again with
us, having made its periodical re-
appearance last week. 1t is even
more breezy than of yore, If
breezy is the right word, and ex-
hales it's spirit of intolerance
against things tolerated. in words
more forcible than classic. L. o.
Ives stands sponsor for its inter-
ances, and states that the paper
is republican in politics.
Taken in homeopathic doses,
Mr.. Ives. writings have flavor
and piquancy seemingly apprec-
lated by many people. But, like
the Index editor, at this moment
he is not being asked by the clergy
to make any remarks from the
pulpit, nor do all republicans ac-
claim him as their spokesman.
We are informed that the Hum
dinger will remain during the
campaign. Whether this is a
threat or a promise to the public,
we wot not, but if past perform
ance is promise of future activity,
we expect some considerable ac-
tiyity.

fit of few. The public is coming
to the belief that "pie" is not
necessary to any legitimate busi-
ness nor due and individual.
IF progressives want a ticket
of their own, honest members OF
other parties can have no valid
objection; likewise, if progressives
decide that they were mistaken,
and that they have no beliefs
which are not incorporated in
other parties, they are the ones to
decide the point, and it is not
probable that they will base their
decision on the pleas of some GER
tain ring organs which hope to
fatten upon the dissolution of the
present second party in strength.
In state and nation, party prin-
ciples govern voters. In county
elections, competent service at
minimum cost is most desired by
most voters. IF the old combin-
alton supported by the Index can
put forth the best men, the pub
lie will be as capable to recognize
it as will the Index, and there need
be no fear Of the result of the pub
lie vote, whether there be two or
twelve tickets.
This thing of basing tickets and
votes upon the probability of put
ting certain ring individuals into
county office must stop some time.
The political complexion OF
county Office holder is worth moth
ing to the average voter; the ser
vice and economical management
of an office are the real worth de-
manded.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1914-04-25

We note that the management
interested in the publication of the
Statesman-Index is greatly wor-
ried over the prospect OF the pro-
gressive party putting a county
ticket in the field, and that the
Index is editorially trying to show
the progressives the folly of such
action. ALI Of which causes us
to wonder what possible difference
it can make to a republican what
some other party does.
We have never noticed any par
ticular grief on the part OF the
socialists when democrats and re-
publicans put up tickets, nor did
the honest republicans ever wor-
ry because democrats had ticket.
When men belong to a party
through principle, the actions OF
other parties do not need to worry
them; why, at the national cleo
tiOn when both republicans and
progressives knew they could not
win, they did not desert their be-
liefs. Men who really believe a
thing are likely to stick to it until
something or other freezes over
particularly the real American
kind Of voters.
We realize that the Index posi-
ton is not that of the average
voter. When individual greed
usurps political principle, we must
expect wailings and gnashings OF
those teeth which no longer bite
large chunks from public pie, and
we eau look for plaintive pleas
to return to former systems
wherein loose party ties held
together many voters for the bene-

G. B. Kegley, master of the
Washington state grange, in
speaking of No. 7 of the "seven
sisters" repeating the present
bureau of inspection, says:
"The bureau of inspection Of
public offices has foisted a horde
of some forty officials ON the tax
payers at $2,400 year and trans
portation. The proposed law re-
quires the State Auditor to en-
force a uniform system of account
ing, with not to exceed three dep
uties and also to publish balance
sheet showing receipts and ex-
penditures of each department of
the State Government for the in
formation of the tax payer. These
two bills will save to the taxpayers
$250,000 each bi-ennium.

Between now and the END Anf
the year 80 United States Senators
are to be selected by the direct
vote of the people. The election
by direct vote is expected to bring
about some changes in the upper
house and among the members
whose terms are to expire next
March are several who probably
could be returned if the election
was in the hands Of the legislature
but who will find it very difficult
to win in the popular primaries.
Naturally the people Of Wash
ington are most interested in the
senatorial election in prospect for
this state. Senator Jones is ex-
pected to make a very strenuous
fight to retain his seat. He will
not be opposed by any strong re-
publican. The democrats already
announce Judge George Turner
Of Spokane, George Cotterill and
Hugh Todd Of Seattle, and Judge
w. w. Black of Everett. Judge
Turner has already served this
state in the 'Uuited States senate
and has attained an international
reputation as statesman and
jurist The progressives are 60
ing to make a strong campaign
for the senate. The party will
have as primary candidates Ole
Hanson of Seattle, Congressman
Falconer Of Everett and Congress
man Bryan Of Kitsap county.
One of the most notable of the
senators who will retire a year
hence is Elihu Root Of New York.
Mr.. Root is one of the most COM
manding figures on the republican
side and should his party return
to power he would be the recog-
nized leader of the upper house.
But between the democratic and
progressive opposition his election
is very doubtful.
Albert b. Cummins, one of the
"big" men of the senate will face
the mixed republican and progress
sive sentiment in Iowa. Theodore
E. Burton Of Ohio is another not
able republican who will have a
hard race for a return.
Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas
also has a hard fight ON his hands.
Six aspirants are now in the field
for his seat, among them such well
know political figures as former
Senator Charles Curtis, republi-
can, and Victor Murdock, pro-
gressive.
The venerable Senator Calm
ger Of New Hampshire, leader
among the standpatters, is not
likely to return. The election OF
a democrat to succeed him is
among the possibilities.

EARLY BANK RUNS.
The Dutch Fleet In the Thames Started
 One In London In 1869.

The Dutch Fleet In the Thames Started
 One In London In 1869.
 The first run of which we have any account in the history of banking oc- cured in the year 1867. It was quick. ly stopped. At that date the bankers of England were the goldsmiths, who had short time before begun to add banking to their ordinary business and had become very numerous and in- fuential.
 In 1869 the Dutch fleet sailed up the Thames, blew up the fort at Sheerness. set fire to Chatham and burned some ships of the line. This created the greatest consternation in London, espe- cially among those who had intrusted their money to the bankers, for it was known that the latter had advanced large sums to the king for public pur- poses. and it was rumored that now the king would not be able to pay the money. To quell the panic royal proclamation was issued to the effect that payments by the exchequer to the bankers would be made, as usual
 In 1871 there was another run on the London banks, when Charles II. shut up the exchequer and refused to pay the bankers either principal or inter- est of the money which they had ad- vanced. On this occasion many of the banks and their customers were ruined.-London Standard.

Ten Stick Island.

In the Southwest bay, in the New Hebrides group, there is small wood. ed island of considerable height above the sea. although only few hundred yards in circumference. The story of it's acquisition is curious one. South west bay used to be considered good place for target practice by the British men of war on patrol duty there, and this small inlet was used as target so frequently that it seemed in danger of being gradually shot away. The chief who owned it protested and wanted compensation. The captain of a man-of-war who understood the na. tives knew that these claims would be a ceaseless source of blackmail unless they were settled once for all, so he bought the island for the British crown, paying ten sticks of tobacco for it, and every one was satisfied. The place since then has been known as "Ten Stick island. ."-London Standard

Consequently He Felt That They Were
 His by Right.
 A claim once made on the explorer Cameron in the neighborhood of Ga boon. Africa. shows the weirdly pecul. far workings of the native Africans mind. Some of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to native, and he determined on transferring the ownership to himself. He accordingly paid another native $2OO to procure for him the coveted goods.
 The assistant took the money and did his best to earn it, but MT. Cam eron had perversely locked up the very articles that the fellows employer had set his heart upon. The man could not carry out his bargain, and neither did he feel that he could part with the money. Therefore he ran off with it.
 What more logical than that the man who was the loser by $20O should ex- pect the explorer to make the loss good? This he assuredly did expect.
 He went to MT. Cameron and told him the story. demanding in the first place the $2OO which he (Cameron) by locking up his goods had compelled the complainant to lose and. secondly, the actual price of the goods themselves. which but for these arbitrary measures would now have been in his posses sion. It is not stated that his expecta. tions were realized.-London Specta- tor

RING OF THE FISHERMAN.
Used by the Popes to Seal Documents
 of the Holy See.

Used by the Popes to Seal Documents
 of the Holy See.
 The ring of the fisherman used by the pope exclusively to seal documents of the holy see shows an engraved figure of St. Peter, the first bishop of Rome, standing in boat and flinging with two hands q net into the sea.
 In 1909. when the French occupied the city of Rome, Plus VII. then pope. was ordered by General Radet to sur render the tisherman's ring. The pon- tiff refused. He feared that by means of the sanction of the ring the French government would be enabled to issue dangerous documents.
 When finally forced to surrender it the pope altered the engraving or stamp with the view of making it use less to his enemies. This seal thus defaced was forwarded to Paris by the French general in command at Rome. Plus VII. in the absence of the fisherman's ring. made use of an iron seal engraved with the figures of Sts. Peter and Paul and inscribed with the words, "Pro Annulo Piscatoris" Gin lieu of the f1sherman's ring).
 The fisherman's ring was kept in Paris until Napoleon l. was over- thrown, when it was returned to the sovereign pontifr. The ring is used only to seal briefs The bulls. more impor- tant documents. are stamped with the leaden seal of the ancient parchments. Indianapolis News.

SALARIES OF SINGERS.

Present Day Stars Would Laugh at
 These Old Time Payments.
 In the good old days of 200 years ago or so singers and actors gave the world their greatest efforts for what was un- doubtedly considered excellent remu- neration, but what in these enlight- ened times of high priced voices and small. And who shall say the perform CTS of the past were not fully as capa- ble as the pampered darlings of the present?
 The highest salary paid went to Chase, who received 5000 livres, or 5000. a year as her fixed salary, 1000 livres extra for perquisites, 1,20O dvres for Easter and 200 for bread. wine and boots, in those days an extraordinary allowance.
 Mile Aneier. the first soprano of her day, was a close second. with 4,8OO francs, or nearly 1000. year. Today a prima donna receives more than that for a single evening. In year "La Camargo." the most beautiful woman of her day, received in francs what many of the lesser singers of today re- ceive in a week in dollars-2.70O francs
 Louis XIV. had the reputation of be- ing a most generous manager and dramatic agent, since he granted 200 livres about $4OD for the first ten per forlnances and about 100 nvres for the following. The deviser of the ballet received 12O livres for the first six performances and sixty for later ones -Argonaut

Why the Earth Cannot Explode.

The theory is frequently advanced that planets and even suns sometimes explode and that the earth may some day blow up like a bombshell. No celestial body the size of the earth could possibly explode. If the entire molten interior of our globe could be replaced with nitroglycerin and deto- hated the explosion would not lift the earth's crust In other words, if we assume that the crust of the earth is from fifty to n. hundred miles in thick ness it would require something much more powerful than even nitroglycerin to burst the shell. It is necessary only to do little figuring to see that the pressure of the earths crust at a depth of from fifty to a hundred miles far exceeds the pressure exerted by the most powerful high explosive.-Hudson Maxim.
