A REPUBLICAN HOUSE.
There is no disputing that the coun
try endorsed the Wilson administra
tion by a substantial margin in the
popular vote and by enough in the
Electoral College to give it a second
term. Neither can it be denied that
the president was stronger than his
party by thousands of votes.
There is ample evidence, however,
that the country did not accept the
record of the Sixty-fourth Congress
with the same approbation that it ac
cepted Mr. Wilson's record and the
republicans porbably will come into
control of the House of Representa
tives as a result. It is a most unusual
thing for a president to win the elec
tion and fail to carry the congress
with him in victory. Certain it is that
there were reasons for wiping out a
democratic majority of twenty-one in
the House that do not appear in a
hasty analysis.
When Wisconsin sends a complete
republican delegation to congress and
retires such experienced legislators
as Representative Burke, Konop and
Reilly; when New Jersey rejects
Scully; Chicago turns down Tavenner;
Indiana Cullop and Kline, and Massa
chusetts returns Representative Tink
han^, republican, from a district nor
mally democratic by 10,000, there must
be sound and substantial reasons.
Manufacturing centers which pros
per by a reasonable protective tariff
turned against the democratic tariff
for revenue only. More progressive
centers rebuked the extravagance and
waste that the rivers and harbors bill
and the public buildings and lands act
only concealed. Then again there was
some resentment against the constant
heckling which big business has had
to undergo at the hands of the Sixty
fourth congress.
■Control of the House means much
to the republican party. It may initi
ate and put through progressive legis
lation that emanates from the Upper
Branch of congress under democratic
control.
Thus it may be possible for the re
publican party to take the hustings
four years hence and wage a campaign
backed up by accomplishment. It may
not have to depend solely upon a crti
cal program such as featured the cam
paign of the past four months, but
may present to the people a construc
tive platform of useful legislation, ini
tiated and put on the statute books
by the G. O. P. control in the House
of the Sixty-fourth Congress.—Wash
ington Herald.
YULETIDE AGAIN.
The Yuletide season is with us
again.
It is with us, but not of us for much
of the earth knows little of joy today.
Upon many millions of people the
sun shines as brightly as in the days
of old, but its lustre is dimmed by
the shedded blood of suffering hu
manity.

The benign smile of the Divine One
s as tender and as loving as when the
world was young, but the twentieth
century finds too many of the human
race bent upon pleasure, and profit,
and revenge, and forgetful of the
beauties of life as seen through eyes
that are better and holier than ours.
It is with this knowledge that the
people of our little community ap
proach the Yuletide time, when all
should be sunshine, and gladness, and
joy.
But if we may not sway the rest of
the world, if our voice be not heard
beyond the confines of our own fire
sides, we yet may look upward with
a feeling of gladness and thankfulness
that the horrors that are engulfing the
rest of the world have at least passed
us by.
We may be thankful that we have
even an hour of peace and prosperity
for our country, though no one knows
when the withering hand of the blight
of the century may be spread over
our own fair land. -
Let us be joyful today, but let us
mingle that joy with compassion for
the stricken ones .of other lands, to
whom the Yuletide season is but a
mockery and an agonizing delusion.
POSSIBLE APPROACH OF PEACE.
The death of the aged Emperor of
Austria may have an effect upon the
duration of the war. His personality,
more than any other force, has held
the Austro-Hungarian Empire to
gether, with its nearly three score
of races and dialects and all the con
flicting interests and activities which
spring from such a situation. Now
that he is gone, the Hungarians, who
have always been rather loosely at
taehed to the dual monarchy, may take
it into their heads to move for peace
on their own account. Such a step
would have an immediate and import
ant effect upon the military opera
tions, especially in the eastern thea
ter of the war, and would doubtless
contribute to an earlier termination
of hostilities than if all the antago
nists maintain their present rigid at
titude for a finish fight. Such a result
would produce a tremendous effect in
this country—which may mean that i
Franz Joseph’s death has a larger j
significance for us than we now think, j
After three months of yachting,
(lancing, holidays and festivities the
American joint commission has signed
a protocol providing for the withdraw
al of the American troops from Mexi
co “within forty days of the ratifies- j
tion of the protocol, provided thit at
the time the State of Chihuahua is
not in a condition to endanger the
American border.” When the gentle
men not long ago called “the George
Washington of Mexico,” Pancho Villa,
read that proviso, a wicked smile he
smole.

fund to buy sweaters for the football
boys who have won them this season.
Athletics in no way interfere with the
students progress.
No student is required to take ath
letics. Some of the best students are
taking athletics and there are no more
failures by those taking athletics than
by those who are not.

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
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.
