STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON. May Lone Of
the funny bits of phenomena in the
United States senate today is
Thomas Taggart, junior senator
from Indiana, endeavoring TO find
a suitable place 10 sit while in the
senate chamber. Ii happens that
the chair 10 which he is regularly
assigned is on the republican side
simply because there are so many
democrats in the senate just now
that there are not places on the
democratic side TO go around. Tag
CART, however, has never yet be-
come recOnciled 10 sitting in his own
seat. 1t isn't that he feels himself
above the republican mem bers, but
that side OF the chamber doesn't
seem hOmelike. He hasn't the sense
Of being surrounded by his own
folks SO Taggart just naturally
won't sit in his regular place. He
takes a seat on the democratic side
belonging TO some senator who has
not arrived. If that senator comes
in he looks about and picks out an
other vacant place.
Some day there will be an i'm
portant vote which will bring every
democratic senator to the floor and
then Taggart will be in sore straits
He will simply have TO stand up.
When Ed Heating, congressman
from Colorado, and author Of the
Heating child-labor bill, was a wee
bit of a lad he used to fritter away
a great many happy hours seated in
the fork OF pillow, while his father,
with a husky team, harassed the
soil Of a Missouri farm.
1t was really fine way for little
Ed Heating to put in his time. In
the first place, it kept him out in the
open air, and 1t also kept him out of
mischief. The only trouble was that
he picked up a weird vocabulary in
consequence Of listening to the one
sided conversation between his ia
Their and the pillow horses. If a horse
didn't turn in just the right direc-
ton. the elder Heating spoke his
mind rather freely. fOrgetful for the
moment Of his young and impress
sionable-minded son.

titude during the trying time
through which the United States
has been passing because OF the
eastern war has been almost in

An exchange, in commenting on
this same point, says this:
"Ex-Pres't Taft proclaims the be-

affairs is no place for the intro

or violent criticism Of the president.
The effort to peacefully adjust our
differences with foreign powers Is
in no sense a question OF party poll

ters Of this kind the truest type Of
American citizenship will be very
certain 10 rise above the carping
criticism and the cheap nagglng thar
is all too often our practice in the
discussion Of political differences"

JOSEPH PALEN MEETS DEATH
In Crash Between an Automobile and
a Street Car at Dubuque Last
Thursday.

Joseph Palen, treasurer of Dubuque
county, Iowa, was instantly killed in a
collision between a street car and an
autom obile last Thursday. Mr. Palen
was we'll known in this community,
where he and his good wife, formerly
Miss Gertie Kieffer of Mineral Point,
have many friends and relatives The
Dubuque Times journal reports the
accident as follows:
Joseph A. Palen, county treasurer, residing at
1890 White street. was almost instantly killed
near the corner Of Sixth and Clay streets last
night.
The fatal clash came few minutes before IL
o'clock, when an automobile driven by Paul
Klein, 1890 Clay street. and carrying besides it's
driver and owner, Harry Clark, William
Andersen and Joseph Palen, collided with a
street car. Klein was at the wheel of the ma
chine, which, according to several witnesses of
the accident, appeared to be moving only at an
ordinary rate of speed. It appears, however,
that he did not see the street car approaching
from the north. The auto was running smooth
ly astride the rails in the middle of the street
and had just crossed the intersection of Sixth
and Clay streets.
Paul Klein was more seriously injured than
the other two survivors of the collision. His
face and head were badly cut by splinters OF
wood and glass from the wind shield. He was
hurried to Mercy hospital where DR.. Mcguire
attended him. Alta late hour it was declared
at the hospital that it was feared internal in
jures might result. Andersen was able TO
leave the scene and walk to his home without
assistance, although he too had suffered severe
cuts and bruises. Clark was only slightly hurt
and did not require medical attendance.

RAIL WAY WAGE CONTROVERSY

Settlement of the national railway
wage controversy either by arbitration
under present law or preferably by
submission to Interstate Commerce
Commission for thorough and speedy
investigation was proposed by railways
at conclusion of a conference in New
York with train service brotherhoods !;
but the proposition was rejected by
brotherhOods who announced that they
would take strike vote. Railways
pointed out that the Interstate Com
merce Commission, with it's control of
rate regulation of revenue of railways
and it's thorough knowledge of the whole
railway situation, is in position to avert
national strike and settle controversy
with justice to employees, employers,
and the public. The Committee of
Railways has carefully considered your
proposals and your explanations of
their meaning and intended application
and in our judgment no reasons devel-
oped during our conferences to justify
extraordinary changes in operating
methods and practices and large expen-
ditures for additional facilities which
your proposals involved, nor was any
thing presented to justify your request
ed radical revision of established basis
of compensation for men in engine,
train and yard service. Present rates
and rules are largely the result of recent
arbitration awards and in our judgment
now provide for men liberal compensa-
tion and favorable working conditions.
Moreover best obtainable estimates in
dicate that to accept your proposals
would increase cost of operation of
railroads approximately one hundred
million dollars year, all of which
must eventually be borne by the public.
We are confident that you and the men
you represent appreciate the response

BOIL THE CITY WATER

DR.. S. R. Ridley, health officer,
recommends that city water be boiled
before using. Recently two samples
one from the pump station and one
from the tap at the railway station
were analyzed at the State hygenic
laboratory at Madison; and the sample
from the pump station was pronounced
safe, while the sample from the railway
station was pronounced unsafe. Tests
will be made of water drawn from
other points. For the time, DR.. Ridley
advises to boil the water.

the war" he said ut viii embroil us in
difficulty"
In the six addresses which marked
the opening day of his presidential cam.
paign in Nebraska, the Republican nom.
lnee discussed nearly all the issues OF
the campaign. He characterized as tenn
porary and abnormal" the present pros
perity of the country and urged support
of the Republican party so that pro-
tective tariff might be enacted to forti-
fly American enterprise in post bellum
days against unequaled competition
The country was living, he said, on the
stimulant of the European war, and
would not long have the stimulant.
"You might as well talk to a drunken
man of the bliss of intoxication" Mr..
Hughes said. Our opponents, instead
of making political capital out of the
present prosperity which came up
through the European war, ought to be
thinking Of what they did to the coun-
try with their policy, put in force through
the Underwood bill There may be those
who enjoy the contemplation OF that sort
OF thing. but they will have a very rude
awakening"
The nominee assailed the Adamson bill
as gold brick" banded to labor. This
declaration was made before an audience
of railroad employees who crowded around

where the train changed engines At
