WILSON’S TROUBLES.
Mr. Wilson faces many problems
■which cannot be postponed for four
years. Something must be definitely
done about the Mexican mess. The
trainmen wage question must toe
settled. 1A11 the vexatious controver
sies with the European belligerents
must be -somehow settled. We have
diplomatic troubles with Japan. Rus
sia and Colombia. The Danish W'est
Indies deal is In suspense. The prob
lem of foreign trade remains for solu
tion. The president is committed to
the Webb bill, which would exempt
the foreign trade of our corporations
from the harsh restrictions of the
Sherman act. W'e believe that its en
actment is essential to successful
American competition in foreign trace.
Some of the hasty legislation of the
last congress must be perfected. The
reserve act must be modified, to eli
minate the dangers Mr. W'arburg has
pointed out. Then there is the duty
of surpassing importance—economic
preparedness of the United States for
the terrific trade struggle following the
European war.
We are hopeful, now that Mr. Wil
son has accomplished his re-election,
tl at he may show a broader and more
statesmanlike spirit. He should select
a stronger cabinet. He should call on
the strongest men of the minority
party for assistance in solving grave
problems. They should be willing to
render all the aid in their power. There
has been a popular magnification of
the burdens Mr. Wilson has carried
the last four years. But it is scarcely
possible to exaggerate the burdens of
the next four years. If Mr. Wilson
handles them as badly as he has those
of the past four there will be serious
trouble, but it is possible that he has

TAMMANY IN CONGRESS.
Those who are wondering what
Tammany will do in congress would
do well to recall the visit of Congress
man Fitzgerald and other Tammany
democrats to the White House a year
or more ago. Mr. Fitzgerald registered
the protest of the Tammanyites, be
cause they were left out at the pie
counter, and in the general shaping
of political activities. They were given
to understand that they would be well
treated by the administration—and
they doubtless were, considering the
fact that the New York members of
the Wilson official family are all of
the “progressive faith.” Tammany's
good faith in the recent election has
been questioned, and there have been
veiled intimations that the “balance
of power” held in congress would be
used to force the administration to
recognize the Tiger. All this sounds
interesting “if true,” and it may pos
sibly have the approval of the famous
chieftains in New York City; but the
congressmen themselves, have let
their attitude be known in Washing
ton, and they have unqualifiedly
pledged their support to the party to
which they belong. In the last con
gress Senator O'Gorman and Repre
sentative Fitzgerald, both members of
Tammany, occupied positions of un
usual prominence ir the affairs of
congress. It is expected that they
and their associates, will work in full
co-operation with the administration
at the session of congress to begin
next month.
SOME TALKING.
Figures obtained in the Government
Printing office show that from June
1st to October 1st, forty-eight million
copies of speeches of senators and
Representatives and political leaders
were printed for distribution. It has
been figured out that each speech re
quired an average of three feet of pa
per, and if this basis is correct, there
was a grand total of 144.000,000 feet,
or 125,337 mles of paper used in print
ing these speeches. All this vast
number of speeches appeared at one
time in the Congressional Record. It
is estimated that three thousand lbs.
of ink were used, and that it required
six hundred pounds of paste to put the
pages together.

“THE REGENERATION.”
“The Regeneration” is a cross-sec
tion of New York life, with an appeal
that is universal. In every man’s life
are two entities, the evil and the good.
Owen Conway, the leader of a Bowery
gang and the “bouncer” of a frightful
dive, rescues Marie Rose Deering, a
pretty little school teacher, from in
sult at the hands of one of his follow
ers. By this chance meeting the good
in him is aroused. The big, rough
gangster becomes as a little child un>
der the tutelage of his good angel,
whom he calls, with reverential af
fection, “My Mamie Rose.”
But. in the very flower of his love
death robs him of the influence that
has ennobled him and worked his re
generation from the dregs of life.
This photodramatization of what Hall
Caine, the famous author, has called
the most remarkable boob ever writ
ten, is the true story of the life of its
author, Owen Kildare, a man who has
been acclaimed the world over as
one of the most original geniuses that
inspiration has so far produced.
The picture is scenically elaborate
and thrilling. One of the scenes shows
the burning of a picnic barge with
%
hundreds leaping overboard from the
blazing decks. This is only one of the j
spectacular thrills which makes "The
Regeneration” a photodrama of
marked and striking interest and of
vital appeal and power.

I If you have plenty of rough feed for cattle you will find
no kind of stock more profitable than good quality two
years old steers like these. They are high grade, mostly
i; Shorthorn types, and have good growthy frames and will
\\ make the man who buys them a good profit if sold off the
grass next July. .No cattle you can buy will pay better
for the feed. They will eat or can be handled with less
trouble or shelter, and remember they are ready for mar
ket earlier than any other class of cattle you can buy.
For surest and largest profits buy two-year old steers.
We will sell these cattle in bunches to suit purchasers and
give time on them to responsible parties having sufficient
feed and shelter to care for them.
