Marking Time.
Chairman Cnderwood aa the demo
cratic leader xpresea a desire for ah
early adjournment of congress, be
fore the national conventions are
held. Congress might as well adjourn
tomorrow for all the good to the
country that Mr. Underwood and bis
democratic colleague propose to have
don. They are not engaged la tb
bnalne of enacting law tb coun
try wants; tbey are engaged In tb
specific task of promoting the politi
cal fortunes pf tb democratic .party
la general and those of certain can

Unfortunately for tb government

are catting all tbo cloth of house
busineaa by their personal patterns.
Tbey aro using tbo great power and
preatigo of their official positions,
not for tb common Interests of the
country, but tor the aggrandizement
of Champ Clark and Oscar Under?
wood. Congress, therefore, ' insofar
aa the influence of the gentlemen

Tremendously important . legisla
tion ahould have been should yet be
enacted at this session, but thus
far none of the president's principal
recommendations baa got by the
democratic barricade, which tt ' was
possible for It to obstruct The Clark-
Uuderwood machine It determined
that no scientific revisits of tha tar
iff shall bo don, not even aa to wool,
the popular clamor of. the country
notwithstanding. Parcela post baa
finally got befor tb house In tb
form of a bill. What progress it
make remains to b seen. Tha In
vestigation of tb, so-called Money
trust appears to bav been effectually
snuffed out But of tb moat lm
portent matter which President Taft
laid before congress, aside from bl
peace treaties, which have been vir
tually killed, were tb demands for
Improved plana of government in

that The w hoi nation also know
that Alaska's needs, therefor ours,

NORTH BEND. Neb., March 0.-TO th
Editor ef The Bee! I notice ao article
In your Paper concerning Senator Brown
and I want to' add my amen to It aa It
is ail a fact. If the people of this Mat
fall to stand by Senator Brown they are
not worthy te be represented by any
honest man In the United Bute smsta.
Senator Brown compelled the railroad
to pay their taxes' it more than 11,000,0x1
after putting up the fight of his life te
win. Could he not Just aa easily have
fought and lost and se far as the people
were concerned they would Hot be any
the wiser? In this way Mr. Brown
could have taken a wad and lived on
easy, street for the balance of bla lite
and not have to worry about going to
the United State senate.
The trouble with ua common people hi
that wa forget tee easily what our honest
reorasebtatlveai do, for u when there
ar mlaUon at'atake.
The railroada tried hard te ksep Norris
Brown out of . the senate six years ago.

over the delegates to the state convention
end the wry' waa that we - must clip
Rose Hantmonifi wing to prevent Mm
from being a political boss, but under
the surface it was te keep crr!a Browa
from he lag nominated.
The state owes N orris Brown a debt
that they wall never be able ta pay utd,
regardless of party, - he should receive
a vote so that the country everywhere
will recornlxa that Nebraska Is enllrht-
ened enough not forget to honor her
men who, are always found In the' front
