Ai'J.otigh the 2nd session of the 60th
Congrefts was a short one, the Con-
grehtional record shows that Senator
Burkott has employed the time well,
lie addressed the Senate on 32 differ
ent occasions, introduced 47 bills and
joint resolutions, offered 14 amend
ments to proposed legislation, made
aiz committee reports, presented 120
V petitions and papers, offered four mo
tions and resolutions, and did not miss
a vote during the entire session.
Thr .imh his efforts the Department
of Agriculture has agreed to make a
Biuvey of Salt Creek, near Lincoln,
with a view to preventing the disas
trous floods which have been an almost
yearly occurrence there. Probably the
moHt uoted event of the session, so far
as the Senate was concerned, was Sen
ator Burkett'a introduction of a resolu
tion to revise the rules of the Senate to
permit of a more equitable distribu
tion of committee assignments. His
remarks showed, as Lave never been
shown before, the details of the system
by which the Senate oligarchy rules,
and hv whioh a few Senators are able
to control legislation. The resolution
narked an epoch in the history of the
Beaut and is the first time that any
1 Republican Senator has ao courageous
ly and iatili!gently attacked tho an
cieut custom of that dignified body.
Other notabe speeches by him were
thoH. in favor of postal savings banks,
of which he is an ardent advocate, and
bis weld reus upon the life and character
of tlio late Senator Allison.
Mineral Production of Alaska In 1908
The total value of the mineral pro
duction of Alaska for 1908 is estimated
by A II Brooks, of the United States
Geological Survey, at $19,000,000.
as compared with $ 20,871,771 for
1907. This decrease is to be charged
to tlie gold plaoers and copper mies,
as tno't of the other ruining ind urines
of the Territory show an increase in
value of output. The value of the
totul mineral production of Alaska
f.-om !SH3, when minirg first began, to
the clone of 1908, is, in round numbers,
$118,000 000. Of this amount the
gold miues have produced about $142,
000,000, the wilver mines about $1, 150.
0C0, and the copper $1,100,000. Tho
balance represents tho value of the
marble, gypsum, tin, and eoal output.
Glints from the Sloan, Iowa, Star.
It is easy to follow the path of duty
where desire blazes the way.
Beware of the man irhoie M.'ieart is
reached through his stomach." Even
a hog grunts his gratitude for
a full belly.
Ti said that "Love will find a
way," but unfortunately 'tis not al
ways the best way.
Soue people who pride themselves
on their morals are deserving of no
credit for morality they never had a
dobiro to to be immoral.
Lack of praise has wrecked more
liv.s than over-praise.
Rome people appear to love tho
trutii only when it will injure some
ono else.
It is nobler to do right for the sake
of lighteousness than from hope of re
ward, but we have noticed that even
the best of men seldom declino the
reward. .
The really strong man is the enn who
can ronidt the temptation to say "I told
you so" when the opportunity seems
particularly propitious.
A man frequently says things In the
beat of passion whioh oomes back to
haunt him iu his moments of sober re
flection. The world never did have much use
for the man who changes his politics
or roligon to suit the drift of publio
opinion.
It isn't alwaya the man who works
the hardest who wins the moBt, but
the man who ia afraid to work never
wins anything worth having.
Everyone believe! in self-sacriflee
for others.
Some people talk constantly of doing
things because they are right, but
we've noticed they always inaist upon
being the judge of what is right.
We've noticod that no matter wLat
happens, the mother and the father of
m good boy and a beautiful daughter
always act as though life held some
thing worth living for.
