After Ten Weeks. '
That the prosperity promises made
by the republican newspapers and
candidates last fall were buncombe
was known by those who made them.
Mr. Taft himself to hlseverlastlngdls
credlt, Joined In the successful effort
to fool the voters by making them
think Jobs would be plentiful In the
event of republican "victory while
there would be no Immediate restor
ation of prosperity" if Mr . Bryan
should win.
The truth was, as these men know,
and as Intelligent men everywhere
knew, there could be no immediate
return of untiuctured prosperity In
either event. Prosperity waits in
comparatively Hmall pari on politics.
It is general conditions, financial, In

was a disagreeable surprise to the
Nebraska congressmen. It was pre
sumed that all cattle raisers favored
a high tariff on hides but some of
them know enough to see that It
does them no good. Now, will tho
republican congressmen from Nebras
ka listen to their constituents.
The wonders of tho world never
cease. Here we have the spectacle of
the republican members of the Ore
gon lglslature keeping their word
and electing a democratic senator
after the people had voted for him
Imagine that happening In Ne
braska.
The President says he Is greatly
Interested in missions. He has cer
tainly started enough of them to
demonstrate the fact without a pub
lic announcement. However, the
missions he speaks of are of a dif
ferent kind from those he has started.
He refers to religious missions while
most of those he is responsible for
are anything but that. They savor
strongly of the opposite. .
At last the millennium seeuiB near.
Yesterday Deadwood closed down
tight on gambling and began clos
ing the saloons at eleven o'clock at
night. Time was and that not long
ago, when Deadwood was the wllcst
open town In the states but that
seema to be a thing of the past and
the late home of the sport and the
bad man, seems to be on the verge
of becoming as quiet as a puritan
village In New England.
The senate yesterday voted to
raise the President's salary to $100,
000, the vice president and speaker
of the house of representatives $15,
000 each, the chief Justice of the
supreme court of the United States
$15,000 "and the associate Justices
114,500 each. Fair minded people
will not object to these Increases as
present salaries are manifestly too
small for the dignity of the Beveral
offices. Tho opposition to tho in
creases does not appear to be founded
upon any reasonable or fair grounds
but looks largely like cheap politics
Hughes Is a brilliant lawyer and a
decidedly able man , condemned
alone by his corporation affiliations.
However, he may turn out an agree
able surprise. Coe I. Crawford is
sent to the senate from South Da
kota, certainly no worse for the state
than the present senators and a man
who will likely make a good show
ing during his terra. Iowa sends
Albert B. Cummins to the senate,
realizing the life dream of that gen
tleman, and giving the progressive
republicans a strong and resource
ful man. Cummlngs will be an active
and Intelligent representative of
western ideas.
New York is one of the states
which makes a distinct gain lu the
Intellectual capacity of its Benator
although It still clings to the idea
of sending representatives of organ
ized wealth to the senate. It re
turns Elihu Root to the senate In
place of Thos. C. Piatt the venerable
"easy boss" who has outlived his
usefulness. Both men represent the
power of wealth In national govern-
men but Root In addition Is one of
the bralnest and most intellectual of
American public men. Ills election
was in response to a general public
demand which stirred even the cal
loused skin of New York repub
llcanism.
Reed Smoot against whom the
church organizations" of the country
raised such a howl, when he was
first elected, is again returned from
Utah, receiving the practically total
vote of the legislature. As he has
been vindicated by the senate, it is
Dresumed that nothing more will
ever be heard In opposition to him
M. N. Johnson is elected to repre
sent North Dakota in the senate
succeeding Senator Hansbrough.
Hansbrough made a fairly good sen
ator and It is doubtful Johnson will
do as well. Gallinger Is returned
from New Hampshire, neither a gain
or a loss to the Intelligent make-up
of the senate. Senator Overman, is
selected to succeed himself from
North Carolina, his case being much
as Galllnger's. Missouri will return

Delightful Afternoon.
The ladles of the W. C. T. U. so
ciety passed a delightful afternoon
at the social given by Mrs. Thompson
on Monday. Mrs. Thompson is all
that could be desired in a hostess and
her entertainment was fine. The
young ladles of the Methodist church
gave two appropriate selections and
Mrs. Rev. Randall sang a very touch
ing song In her beautiful, clear voice.
"After Ten Years the Tramp of King
Dibbler's Army." Miss Grace Fitz
gerald gave a piano recital while
the refreshments were being served,
and the floral favors were as sweet
as their names. Papers were read
by Mrs. Rev. Randall, Mrs. George
Dodge and Mrs. C. P. Richards. Mr.
Austin graced the occasion long
enough to sing one song, "The Sunset
Light," and made us wish for more,
but press of business forced him to
refuse. Thank you, Mr. Austin, and
Miss Cole, who accompanied him, our
thoughts were borne heavenward by
the beautiful words and music.
