IN THE SENATORIAL ARENA.

Control of congress is almost as big
a political consideration with the
major parties in the present national
campaign as is the election of presi
dental candidate. Mr. Hughes, with
a Democratic congress, or even a
Democratic senate, would not be able
to accomplish much. The same would
be true of Mr.. Wilson. although it
may almost be taken for granted that
should he be reelected he is likely to
carry enough senatorial and represer
tative candidates with him to continue
the Democratic party with it's hold on
the nations law-making body.
So strenuous efforts are being made
by both the big parties in the con-
gressional arena, and the Republicans
are bending every energy for success
in these fields. and particularly in the
senatorial contests in a number of the
states.
And they would appear to have good
reason. too, for enthusiasm over the
senatorial prospects of their party.
The present Democratic majority
in the United States senate is sixteen.
To give Mr.. Hughes. if he would be re-
turned the presidential winner on
November I, a Republican senate to
assist him on his way, means that nine
seats in the senate now occupied by
Democrats must be retired with Re
publicans.
One senator has already been gained
by the Republicans, in Maine, and
that leaves them only eight senatorial
holes to go. This senatorial result in
Maine has also been a great spur to
the Republican campaigners in other
states where senators are to be chosen
This is especially true of Indiana,
where the parallel with Maine condi-
lions is particularly close. Both states
now have Democratic senators and
Democratic governors. In both states
the national administration has been
generous with patronage of the sort
that is of political benefit to senators
on the job, and who wish to stay on
it. In both states have been massed
battery of the biggest oratorical
guns at Democracy's command
Maine resisted all this. Maine
turned down her Democratic governor
and a Democratic United States sena-
tor. The Republican campaign mana
gers figure that Indiana can hardly
fail to do likewise.
They figure also that they will pick
up at least the other six senators
necessary to Republican control of the
senate in New York, New Jersey, West
Virginia, Ohio, Nevada and Montana
There is a chance they think, too,
of adding three more. one each from
Arizona, Missouri and Maryland
And so there are other important
political battles being fought out these
days in addition to the presidential
contest. Not so much is heard about
them out here in Kansas, as this state
doesn't happen to have United States
senatorial contest this year

has recently been arranged with
American producers for delivery
abroad during the first six months of
1917 does not tend to encourage the
view that an early peace is being ex-
pected in official circles abroad. 1t,
too, seems fair to assume that other
purchases of war munitions and "ther
war material will continue upon an
equally liberal scale. They will serve
to preserve the same unexampled in
dustrial and export activity that has
heretofore resulted primarily from
this source. We are now experiencing
not alone a demand from foreign
countries for both war and peace sup
plies. but we have added to that an
almost equal volume of domestic pur-
chasing power which :las closely fol-
lowed the free spending of the profits
that have accrued so generally follow
ing the wars opportunities. Labor,
never so fully and profitably en-
ployed, is buying luxuries and neces-
stiles at high prices. Spectators who
have made large profits are even more
prolific as spending class, while
manufacturers and traders are par
ticipating quite fully in this active cir
culation of funds. This Is an economic
feature that is usually quite as back
ward in ending as it is in developing.
Hence it may be considered as likely
to occupy a position in market con-
siderations for some time to come.
There should, for some time, be ample
funds for buying securities as we'll as
commodities. Bank credit, too. prom
ises to occupy a similarly ample posi-
ton. Not unnaturally. such
considerations as these divert atten-
ton from considerations that present
themselves so clearly in more distant
view of financial prospects. Every
body knows that sooner or later
severe check must come, and that the
war, which so completely upset condi-
tions in this country when it began,
will have an important influence when
it ends. The extent of this
general reactionary movement is
something that may not be decided on
in advance in definite measure It
will, however, be important"

THE EVERYDAY MIRACLES.

Now, who by musing can disclose
The hidden secret of the rose,
A miracle of petaled birth,
And who weave into dream
The beauty of the rainbow's beam
And the glory of a new-made earth?
Whose ear can know whence comes the
note
That swells the scarlet feathered throat,
A miracle of melodious chime,
Whose hands with care can deity take
From whirl of snow a single flake
And fashion it a second time?
And who by thought profound and deep
Can know the stars that guard our sleep,
A miracle of heaven-born light.
And who can keep the gold and blue
Reflected in a drop of dew
Left by the trailing skirts of night?

With President Wilson finally
having decided to launch a more ag-
eressive speech making campaign, and
for the avowed purpose of smoking
out Candidate Hughes as to what
changes he would make in the. foreign
and business policies that are in order
under the present national admins
tfation, it is possible that sufficient
ginger and ether spice will be injected
into the presidential campaign to
arouse the interest of a multitude of
citizens who are apparently giving lit
