Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
has been in the senate a long time,
and he always has been an insur-
gent, always off the Republican res
ervation. He thinks no more Of at
tacking the Republican party than
he does the Democratic party, in fact,
most of his attacks have been made
on the party that claims to elect him
from time to time.
Senator Hiram Johnson, of Califor-
MIA, is another senator who strays
away from the Republican reserva-
tion whenever he feels like it. He,
too, does not hesitate to attack the
Republican party whenever he feels
in the mood to do it.
Then there Is Senator Bro0khart,
of Iowa, d newcomer, a radical OF the
radicals. Senators Frazier and Ladd,
of North Dakota, line up with the
same bunch.
OF Party Reservations
Minnesota last year elected two
Farmer-Laborites and turned down
both of the old political parties. SEN
ators Magnus Johnson and Shipstead
nearly always line up with the Re
publican insurgents or the Democrats
to help defeat the Republicans.
Senator Borah. of Idaho, Is off the
Republican reservation most of the
time. Senator Norris, Of Nebraska,
is also most independent in his
thought and action. He fights the
administration in the senate about as
much as he fought Uncle Joe Cannon
in the house when the latter was
speaker. Senator Norris has been
joined by another independent man
in Senator Howell of the same state,
this year. However, the new senator
from Nebraska is showing more signs
of being regular than Senator Norris
has ever shown.
In the recent voting, Senator Cap
per, of Kansas, Senator Harreld. OF
oklahoma, and Senator Norbeck, Of
South Dakota, seem to have joined
the other. insurgents.
1t is noticeable that most Of the
senators named belong to the agri-
cultural farm bloc in the senate, and
it seems they are sticking close to
one another. And on the Democratic
side of the chamber we notice that
Senators Dill, of Washington. and
Wheeler, of Montana, are inclined to
belong to the same crowd and vote
with them on numerous occasions.
May Hold Convention
Thus it is shown that about Is
senator's are inclined in the same di-
rection. There are enough OF them

Klanswomen Active
Throughout Kansas

TROY, KAN, Feb. l8.-The Wom-
en- of the Ku Klux Khan are rapidly
coming to the front in the northeast
section of the state. Wathena and
Elwood now have strong organiza-
tions and are in the midst of cam
paigns to increase the membership
to still greater proportions. The or
ganization in St. Joseph has ambi-
tions to become as great in it's mem
bership as is the mems order in that
atty, and is working to that end.
Splendid educ work be being

Presbyterians Are
Urged to Sacrifice

In a last desperate effort to ward
off the deficit which threatens to cur
tail for next year the benevolences,
including. missions, of the Presbyteri-
an church. as those of other denomi-
nations have been, or probably will
be. curtailed. Presbvterion mission
to have their own salaries reduced.
In this country, a great effort-pos-
sibly the last of any size, as the fiscal
year ends March 31-will be under
taken during the week of Feb. 17-24
including both Sundays. This will be
observed by the 10000 Presbyterian
churches in the United States as a
sacrificial Loyalty Week, designated
by the Moderator, Rev. Charles F.
Wishart, and his associates on the
General Council. The 10000 Presby-
terrain pastors will tell their l,800,-
900 communicate members that, un-
less Presbyterians respond with in
creased contributions to this call. not
more than 100000 to $4,000, 900 of
the requisite SIS 100000 will be raised
and drastic reductions in the world
wide work of the church will be nee
essary.
Among other things which Presby-
terians will be urged to go without
for the sake of their contributions
will be amusements, luxuries' and
even necessities, so far as possible.
They will be asked to give up stock,
bond, piece of jewelry, some arti-
Gle of personal property, ticket to
a concert, or a few gallons of gasoline
for an unnecessary pleasure trip, and
to add to their gifts to the church as
literally as possible, doubling their
portions in every practicable in
stance. They will be reminded that
during war time they gave up meat
wheat, sweets, money, time and con-
venience. They are now asked to
make as liberal sacrifices in behalf
of the program of the church for the
Christianizing Of the world. Moder-
ator Wishart in his official call states
that America is trembling between
paganism and Christianity; that from
Alaska to Porto Rico, the Presbyte-
rian Board of National Missions is
graphing with the powers of dark
ness, and that the future destiny OF
America is at stake; that in the Far
East a terrible race is on between
chaos and Christianity, and that I'M
less Christianity wins chaos will come
again.

Quiet Reigns in Nations
Capital During Week

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Feb. I6.-
Things are about as quiet I'm the
senate this week as they were
noisy last week. Senators are
getting their breath, apparently,
as last week they talked them
selves hOarSe on the oil scandal
and trying to bring about the en-.
forced resignation of Secretary
DENLY. President COOlidge's
speech I'm New York on LincOln's
birthday anniversary seemed to
take all the sap out of those sem
atOrs who fought the administra.
tiOn last week. and now they are
watching the reaction. They have
their ears to the ground to hear
what the people have to say.
