all Republicans want the president to
intervene in Mexico and start Il war
which viii last long after the next

shrewdest members of the party think
that Il war In Mexico will reflect VIII

party in power for many years. That
was the result when the Democrats
forced the Republicans into war with
Spain.
But there are other Republicans who
believe that politics should not be con

American citizens I'm Mexico. Senator
BOrah is one of them. There is no
danger of forcing Intervention; at least
not at present" said the Idaho sena-

When We Would Fight.

suppose Japan did take the Philip
pines said Senator Williams of Mis-
sissippi; they would be better off than
under u government Then he add
ed that If Japan or n other nation
took the islands by force we would
fight until we were bankrupt and all
II young men had been sacrificed be-
fore We would permit such nation to
hold them by force.
1t Is because that spirit exists or Is
said to exist that there seems to be a
great hurry just now TO get rid OF the
islands. And If Japan gobbled them
up after we got out, well. that would
be up to the Filipinos.
The Socialist Sense of Humor.
Meyer London. the Socialist, asking
for the privilege of extending his re-

cred on the floor looks to me n funny
thing, but as you are so funny | see no
reason why | canno once in awhile be

His Military Record.
Congressman Gardner Is a soldier.
He fit In the Spanish war" as some
II remarked. j. Hampton Moore
took occasion to dig up Gardeners mil
itary record and put it in print, and
1t showed that Gardner did like every
other man in the Spanish war: he did
all he could. and when 1t was over he
was recommended for a brevet major
for gallantry at Coamo, Porto Rico.
Any one who knows Gardner has no
doubt that he would fight as a soldier
II there was m occasion. And those
who have engaged in n parliamentary
bout with him know that they have
been In a row. He can take care OF
himself.
Bailey and the Lady.
Former Senator Bailey was sitting
beside a lady at a dinner party. and
she was severe in her structures
against the government for not pro-
tecting Americans while travelling on
foreign ships. She told of the danger
she had encountered oil one of those
ships.
Madam said Bailey. "why did you
not take n of the neutral ships?'
Oh she replied. II couldn't think
OF going on IN Of those ships. they
are so out Of date and uncomfortable"
All" said Bailey, 'you were willing
to sacrifice safety for comfort"
A Colorado Estimate.
During n of the war talks" in the
senate Senator Thomas of Colorado in

90 per cent of the sentiment for great

This Excludes Meat Prices,
Which Have Made Even
Greater Advances.

The cost Of eating is from 10 to

That figure excludes the price
Of meats, which have made even
greater strides. 1t includes pro-
visions Of all sorts; vegetables,
fruits, fish, coffee and teas, and
other standard articles OF diet in
every household.
Along with these increases are
few decreases, such as that in
flour, due to the heavy wheat crop,
and in a few green vegetables, be-
cause the farmers planted big
crops.
Many causes contribute to these
Increases. The war has least ef-
