BY ARTHUR w. DUNN,

Washington, Dec. 0.-[Special.l-
Some rare kernels Of wisdom come out
OF the large amount OF chat that IL
found In the railroad hearing. The
railroads have presented their PROPOSE
tfon, plain to them, and their repre-
sentatiyes are somewhat surprised TO
find the members Of the commission
unable to see the practicability of a
plan or hope Of getting 1t through con
gress.

est power In the country" Congress.
a Sims OF Tennessee told a railroad
representative. He then went on TO
explain that men in congress were not
going to vote for propositions which
would certainly mean their defeat:
that they were going to vote for what
the people wanted, for n they did not
the people would send other men In
their places.
Find What the People Want.
Sims pointed the way OF political
success which Roosevelt used with
such good effect and which Wilson
has used with still greater results.
Find out what the people want and
do It." is the aim of the successful poll
ticians. Sims told the railroad men
that, while their plans may be prac-
tical from their viewpoint, they were
not practical before congress because
they would not get votes enough. The
very best theories Of government will
fall II they do not meet the approval
of the people.
Statesmen Disagree.
THE eight hour law was the biggest
factor In Missouri, said Champ Clark.
IF II had not been for that legislation
we might have lost Missouri"

hurt with the business men"
And Then They Agree.

OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many n Kidney
Sufferer I'm Madison.

A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
STOPPING brings a sharp twinge in the
small of the back that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys-relieve
aching back. Here's Madison proof:
Mrs. w. Morgan. 900 West Fifth
street, Madison, says: Every time /
made a sudden move or tried to bend,
l got a catch across the small of my
back. Then a severe pain set in
which kept me in misery and robbed
me of all ambition. l was unfit for
any kind of work. / began to get
uneasy about my kidneys. as nothing
| took seemed to do me the least int
of good until l began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. ! had good results

Republican leaders are not at all
anxious to organize the next house un-
der the existing conditions. Not even
the lure of patronage will cause them
TO make trades with independents to
secure votes. IL looks as If the Demo
Gratis might have a free hand. The
Republican leaders are not quite sure
OF a number OF men who have been
elected as members OF that party and
are imbued with the ideas of President
Wilson.
Democrats Want the House.
The Democrats want the house.
They want to maintain control.
Champ Clark wants to be speaker for
four terms. All the leaders want TO
he chairmen OF the committees. as at
present; but, more than that, all Of
the employees of considerable infu-
ence want TO hold their places, ana the
members want to keep the patronage.
More than that, the Democrats believe.
In spite Of the narrow margin they
have, they will be able to enact legls-
lation recommended by the president
with the aid OF Republican votes.
They have always been able to com
mand Republican votes for all their
measures, and they are confident that
many Republicans will act with them
In the future.
Campaigning Under Canvas.
Champ Clark gives Senator Reed
credit for the idea which made Mis-
souri, safely Democratic during the
last campaign. It was the four tent
circus campaign which brought out .big
crowds and gave the party such a
boost that the Republicans could never
head them Off. ut was n novelty, and
1t gave us an opportunity to address
very large crowds" said the speaker,
