LONGWORTH J envied. A friend of Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of tho muse. Now would Theodoro Roosevelt, the greatest Republican, wore ho at home, npprove of tho conduct of his son-in-law? In a recent speech in Washington Mr. Longworth roasted tho Insurgents antil they were brown. Next day some one naked him how ho thought Ills Illustrious father-in-law would regard such conduct. "There it is ngnln!" angrily oxclnlmed the son-in-law. "It scorns that I am not to bo allowed an opinion of my own. Let mo say right here, I'm n stnnd patter and I don't care what Mrs. Longworth's famous father thinks uDout It. Wo understand each other pretty well and Mr. Roosevelt has never made any effort to Influence me one way or tho other. I wish tho people would let mo bo Nicholas Longworth and not nlways think of mo as tho son-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt. I was a congressman boforo I was a eon-ln-lnw, "As a matter of fact, docs any ono know what Mr. Roosovclt's idea of tho present situation is? Being a son-in-law In this caso and trying to keep in politics is not nil a path of roses. I have a great many constituents who believe that when I say anything worth repenting, If I do, Mr. Roosovclt Inspired It, and when I sny things that appear silly, or aro silly, thoy express pity for my father-in-law. The only time thoy give mo credit for being my self is' when I mako a blunder. BATTLE FOR McKINLEY Republican majority In the house of representa tives. Those who know Mr. McKInley know ho is a lighter and they say he will not bo found wanting when tlio opposing forces clash. It takes only six lines In the congressional directory to tell who Repre sentative McKInley Is, not because his record as a citizen and member of congress is not ono of which ho may well be proud, but because of his oppo sition to self-pralso. Somo congressmen who havo not done near as much for party or country consume three or four times ns much space, but Mr. McKInley is content to have his birthplace, ago, occupation and the date of lils first election to congress published. Then let It bo said by ono who knows something nbout tho people's rep resentative from tho Nineteenth district In Illinois that among other nice things that might be said about Mr. McKInley is Hint ho is ono of the best entertainers in congress. Ho has given somo dinners In Washington that have been tho talk, of tho town for days. He has taken members of congrcsB, not only tho Republicans, on trips that they enjoyed to tho limit. It has been said of Mr. McKInley that ho Is one of the wealthiest men In tho house. Nobody would think It to observe his conduct. He Is Jovial, democratic and makes no display of tho fact that ho has wealth. Mr. Mc KInley controls miles and miles of Intorurbnn electric lines In Illinois. Ho owns farms and he's a banker. L WICKERSHAM When 1 i I TZZZ jskz tho Hamilton club at Its Appomattox day banquet tz I In Clilcngo. commanded tho Insurgents to "not Mr. Ralnoy, however, Is a Democrat and of course that does not count, for Democratic congressmen may be expected to hurl their broadsides at Republican cabinet ofllcors every onco in a while. But the big part of tho target shooting Is yet to come, if reports from Washington aro to bo bolleved. It Is snld that Senator Dolllver of Iowa Is to touch off the 13-Inch gun. In his Chicago speech tho attorney general boldly said: "Tho tlmo of running with tho hare and hunting with tho hounds is over. Kveryono must now chooso whother or not he is for tho president and the Republican party. He that 'hath no stomach for the fight' let him depart. Treason has ever consisted In giving aid and comfort to tho enemy. If any ono wlshfes to Join tho Democratic party let him do so. Rut let him not clnlm to be a Republican and In and out of season work to defeat Republican mens ures and to subvert the Influence of tho Republican president of tho United States." BEVERIDGE, from Indiana. Monthly magazines also havo shown a preference for his writings. Mr. Bovoridgo is ono of a fow members of tho senate who does not give Interviews to tho newspapers. Ho has made it a rule not to express his opinions of political happonlngs In the dally press. Tho day after tho Indianapolis convention Senator Uovorldgo was In Chicago. Ho greeted tho newspaper reporters who called upon him cordially, liut never a word had ho to say of tho things that transpired In the Ropub lUcun gathering. IN QUANDARY Nicholas Longworth is tho representative in congress from tho First Ohio district, which prnc-, ticnlly means Cincinnati. Mr. Longworth, as everybody knows, is tho only son-ln-iaw of Theo dore Roosevelt, former president of tho United States. Mr. Longworth is a millionaire. It is nice to bo a congressman, nico to bo tho husband of a former president's daughter, and nice to bo a millionaire; still Nicholas Longworth Isn't tho happiest man on earth. Ills political, path seems rosy enough; his marital relations aro ideal and his financial position Is one to bo Then why should ho not bo happy? Tho an swer is simple. Ho Is tho son-in-law of Theodoro Roosevelt Ho is a "stand-patter" and, ns such, Republicans and Democrats, Insurgents and stnnd-pntters agree that there Is going to be n desperate battle in the coming fall for seats In congress. It lins been a long time since such a bitter struggle was so easily foreseen. It nlways is that way after congress has made a change In tho tariff law. To pass a tariff law that would please everybody is Impossible. A wealthy, good-natured son of Illinois is the man who will have to stand the brunt of the battle for the Republicans this year. He Is Wil liam Drown McKInley of Chnmpalgn, who was born September 5, 185G, In Petersburg, 111. Representative McKInley Is tho chairman of tho Republican congressional committee and as such wll havo to lead the fight to maintain tho AS A TARGET Oeorgo W. Wlckershnm, attorney gen- 1.

In fact one bomb has been hurled nt the at torney general, Senator La Folletto of Wisconsin having had somo pointed things to say about tho cabinet officer In tho samo speech in which he called J. Plerpont Morgan a "thick-necked bully." Then came Representative Ralnoy of Illinois, who nipped tho cnblnet target through a bullet aimed at tho sugar trust. INSURGENT "I could not stand for It then mid and I can not stand for It now." Those nro tho words used by Albert J. Rover idge, senior senator of Indiana, ns ho dissected tho new tariff law paragraph by paragraph, In his speech before 'lie Indiana Republlcnn con vention In Indianapolis recently. Tho senator's speech attracted attention all over tho country. Sonator Uovorldgo has been an active member of tho upper branch of tho nation's congress from the day ho look his seat In that august body. In one way ho differs from mnny other members of the senate. Hp is not a millionaire. Dut this has made no dlfiorence with tho senator. In odd times ho has usod his pen mnybo it was n type writer to good offect. A prominent wookly Jour nal has printed mnny good stories by the senutor NEBRASKA JN BRIEF.

IMPORTANCE OF SEED BREEDING Wonderful Llttlo Storoltounca ot Enerzy, Beauty and Utility Bred to Produce Hotter Quulity of Gruln. Ono of tho most important things which the division of agrlculturo ot tho Minnesota experiment station has dono for tho benefit of tho farmers Is the breeding of pedigreed needs. It has beon known for a long tlmo thnt animals could bo bred for effi ciency along certain desired lines, but tho knowledge Is of comparatively ro cent date that needs those wonder ful storehouse of energy, boauty nnd utility could bo similarly bred, and thus Induced to produce a greater amount or n hotter quality or both ot grain. That this Is pre-eminently true, however, has boon ably demon strated by tho agricultural division, which has produced soveral vnrlotlea of Improved grains, Including corn, burloy, nnts, flax and wheat, which nro much inoio prolific than the grains commonly grown and which havo, in their Increased yield, notted tho farmers of tho stato many thousands of dollars. Theso seeds may bo ob tained from tho station or from co operating seed growers, nt reasonnbla prices and with oach purchaeo a cer tificate of pedigree and purity of seed Is Issued to tho purchaser.' Prof. Andrew Boss, chief ot thla division, states thnt somothlng ovor 15,000 bushols of pedigreed seeds havo been distributed nt first hand to 3,248 co-operating seed growers and that theso men havo In turn supplied so mnny farmers that it Is ostlmatod that from ono-fourth to ono-third ot tho grain growing aroa of Minnesota is now seodcd mutually to improved seeds developed at tho oxporlment station.
