(Special, v-or- dtnarlly whn a new man ta aworn la a a nw member of th United States senate It la expected that he 'will not b con spicuous tor at least two year and aome 'tlm four yearn mutt (lapse before It ia xpeclert that he will make hla appear ,ance at a debater. Of eourae, there are i jaKceptlana to thla a-enarat rule. If Uncle Joe Cannon, for Instance, ahould be choaen to succeed Mr. Hopkins aa a aenator from tl' state of Illinois everybody would ex- j (pect to . hear, from him In ahort order. And a man Ilka Beeretary Boot oan ax lie in hla aeat to debate Any question, espe cially a question Involving the foreign policy of the United Btatea, without fr etting comment. But the ordinary citizen who la choaen by the legislature of hla atata to occupy a aeat in the senate la expected , to . remain quleacent for at least two yeetrsand he will ault the powers that be better If he doea not aay a word for four years because It la an unwritten law that new men ahould, like children, be aeen and not heard. . When Reed Bmoot first took hla aeat aa a senator fom Utah six years ago ha ob served the rule rigidly, but still ha was In the 'public eye most emphatically from the time that he took the oath of office. He was' attacked oh account of his re ligion and hla right to continue to' repre sent the atata of Utah waa denied from the outset. Thla was because of the fact that Mr. Bmoot ia an apostle of the Mor mon church. It used to be s&ld that when a preacher assigned to a Methodist church t announced to his congregation that ha would deliver .hla first sermon In an ; lagonlam to the brewing interest he waa 't agviaed pot to do so because there were ? several brewers who were shining lights In the congregation, He uelected various other "Industries" aa aubjects for hla dia- course, but In each Instance the deacon, whom ho consulted, pointed out to him ' : the reasons why this should not be done. In desperation the minister asked, "Whom can I attack?" "Oh, Jump on the Mor mons." was his reply, "they have no ' ' friends here," and there were mighty few frif-nds of the Mormon church to atand : by Reed Einoot. H waa subjected to most rigid In quisition and nearly four yeara expired be fore hia right to occupy a seat to which es-erybody admitted he had been legally elected viae confirmed by a majority of the senate. I Airfare a Hard Worker. ; During all that time , Mr. Bmoot had remained rlve so far as' active par ticipation In the work of the senate waa ( concerned, but everyone noticed that not withstanding the strain under which he labored for all those years that he at tended to his committee work assiduously. No more persistent worker was found In any committee of the senate than Reed Smoot. He attended every meeting of every ' committee to which he had been assigned, religiously, and In those sub bodies of the senate, which, had' active control of ' the legislation In which hla " state was most deeply Interested, he dem onstrated that he waa, to uae a slang expression, "onto his Job." It was not supiptislng, therefore, that hen the new committee on flnanif waa chosen, after Mr. Bmoot had been re-elected by the legislature of Utah for a second term, that he should be assigned to a place on the Important committee on fi nance. In the old days a finance committee of; the senate was composed of "grave and re. trend arlgnlirrs" who had long years of tervlce behind them, and western men par ticularly had very, little chance of obtain ing a seat In that particular committee room. But a new regime haa dawned and the west Is coming to the front ss a power In legislation. Western men are now on the steering committee and western men have something to say aa to the forma tion of all the committees, so It la not at all surprising ,that four western men are now on the committee on finance, nor la It surprising to those who know something of the personnel of the senate that Reed Smoot of Utah Is one of the four. Those who have watched the career of the aen ator from I'tah are by no moans surprised at the activity which he haa displayed as a member of the committee on finance. But others are. There lias not been a meet ing of the committee, since it waa organ ised which Mr. Bmoot has not attended. He haa shown a remarkable knowledge of tariff affaira and haa demonstrated clearly hat the business sense which has made Shim auccesaful in Utah la available In the 9 committee on finance. Withal, he has ex s orcised a boldness of views which not only ' liedounde to the Interest of hla atale, but 1 makes for much in the common interests ? Icf the country at large. There Is scarcely 1 schedule of the tarrlff bill which he haa : Viat studied carefully and conscientiously. rrhe direct Interests of hla people are in i Vhoae schedulca which affect hides, wool, -7.11s. lead and sugar, and yet he has de moted Just aa much study to silk and hemlcals, msnufactures of cotton and all the others aa he haa to those which bear directly upon the industries of his own mate. It Is not to b wondered at. therefore, that Senator Reed Bmoot of Utah haa been In the public ee during the last few weeks to an equally great extent as any Other member of the finance committee, not rxceptlng Benator Aldrlch. He has been sooken of with more or less commcn latlon by practically every one of the met ropolitan dailies, snd his activity haa been noticed. In fact, throughout the country. Senator Emool would not be regarded as in orator, but he la a business man of tard.' common sense, whose senatorial cu ter will.

Congress ' first provided an "auditor of the treasury for the interior departmeut" fifty yeara ao. The office haa been, held for half that time by two men. The present Incumbent has served for twelve yeara and he haa made a record for him self unequalled by that of any other auditor. But he ia elated to go. He la Robert H.

On these tops waa emboased thla verse: It is not wealth. Nor rank, nor state. It's git up and git , That makes boys great. . When about alxteen. Person began hla career aa a newspaper man. He was the assistant coneapondent at "Wales Hol ler" for the Erie County Advert'ser. From an old file of that Journal are culled a few "pieces" which Bob wrote or assisted In writing: "Ed Ieigh put a new board In the floor of hla porch last week." "Peleg Havens drove to Buffalo with aJload of hand threshed rye straw in Friday." "John Mlndle killed his hogs laat week. The old white Chester aow dressed 6(2 pounds." "Road. Commtasloner Keem plugged up the hole in the roof of the covered bridge with about fifty shingles on Tuesday." "There will be . a revival at the Free Methodlat church next Sabbath." ' These were aamplea of hla work. They don't amount to much thirty odd yeara later, but they show that R, Person was an observing youth. He decided to "git up and git" ' and he atruck out for Dakota when. In a few yeara he had made a name for him self as a Journalist. He owned and pub lished one of the most Influential news papers In the territory, When -'the territory waa divided and two rtatea formed he became a factor in politics. Twelve yeara ago he waa appointed auditor of the Treasury for the Interior. About all the auditing he ever did waa the payroll of the printer and the devil employed In the office. But that motto on the old red-top boota atuck by him. He continued to "git up and git" He got up early In the morn ing and he carefully examined every paper which was brought to him for signature. Inside of alx months he knew every detail of his office. He knew the capacity and ability of every one of the army of clerks under him He has alwaya been a rigid disciplinarian. He cut red tape right and left, lopped off useless repetitions and insisted upon the prompt dispatch of bualness in every di vision of his office. He Introduced sys tem where before ' haphazard governed and aa a result his office Is the model for all the others. About the laat ' official letter written by Secretary Garfield waa addressed to Person and was a poem of praise for the manner In' which the auditor . had straightened out the existing tangles In the pathway of business between the In terior and the .Treasury department. But Person had sided with the Klttredge forces In the Klttredge-Qamble senatorial fight. Now Gamble and hla colleague, Crawford, want the scalp cf the native of Wales Holler.

He has made his record. He haa learned a lot. He la willing to leave whenever he is arked to do ao by the secretary, and It ia prob able that the senators will eventually suc ceed In calling attention once ,more to that motto on thoae little eld boots and that once more Robert Person will "git up and git" Aldrlch Holds the Key. No one but Senator Aldrlch knows what the tariff bill will- look like when it finally emerges from the senate, and ia sent back to the house, and he probably has only a vague ' Idea. That there will be many amendments la a foregone conclusion and many of the schedules In the next print will bear little resemblance to those which: were originally reported from the ways and means committee. It waa thought a week ago that the question aa to a tariff on petroleum had been definitely settled beyond a doubt and that that product would kurely stay on the free list. This waa supposed to be a body blow Ht the Standard. Oil company and everyone, from Judge Liandla down, ia against that monopoly. But It haa been discovered that If there Is ono concern In the world that favors free petroleum' it Is that self same octopus. The Standard is said to own cr control at least to per cent of the Mexican oil fields and those fields promise to become aa productive aa were the Pennsylvania fields thirty years ago. Oil la produced today in half the states of the union and 90 per cent of the produc tion Is owned by Individuals and companies entirely Independent cf the Standard. There la a large gathering of these oil men la Waslilrgton now. They come from Penn sylvania. New Yortt, West Virginia, Ohio, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. They have been heard1 by the members of the finance committee and by Individual senator and their arguments have apparently borne fruit. It ia certain that at least twenty senators will support sn amendment to tax petroleum, and If they stick together fcuch an amendment will certainly prevail. Nor are the oil men the only Interested apectators tn the galleries of the senate. There ere apparently aOO people at least gathered In thu cspllol and aenate office building every day.

George Gallarno, clerk In the state Insurance department, completed the total for the Iowa Fire and Casualty company for the year 1908. The official totals show risks written for 1907 by Iowa companies of , $816, 768, 6&3.14, as compared to S370,MMH.2 for 1908. a heavy loss of $40,000,000.

' Systematise State Baalnesa, In accordance with plana made by Sec retary of State Hay ward many months ago the state will soon adopt a system of better accounts for the employes and agents who are compelled to travel. An account book will be furnished every per son entitled to travel at atate expense and In . this will be entered the Items of expense from day to day so that a com plete record may be had. The most ex tensive travelers of the state are the board of control and the railroad com mission. They expend a large amount of money In traveling over the state pn of ficial business. Next In Importance Is the food and dairy department, whose Inspec tors do a great deal of traveling, and the mine Inspectors, factory inspectors and others, do a great deal of traveling. The plan waa worked out last year and blanka are being prepared so that there will be uniformity In thla matter. The state now haa a law requiring duplicate vouchers for all bills agalnat the state, so that the four atate officers whose duty It Is to audit all billa will have all facts aa to expense before them. This, with the new plan of' having the per diem charged in parts of a day, the day being divided into hours. It Is believed will greatly lessen the expense of state government. Will Close If Baslaesa. The old boards In charge of the colleges have resolved upon closing up their bual ness as rspldly aa possible ao as to be able to make to the new central State Board of Education a very complete report of opera tions. At Ames It has been decided that whtye the legislature appropriated $50,000 with which to continue the work of com pleting the central heating, plant and left thla so that It 'could all be used at once, the old board will not make use of any of It. The legislature authorised the present board to continue work on three buildings and this will be done. At Iowa City and Cedar Falls no new work will be done, and the work now under way will be closed out as quickly aa it can be done. When the new board takes hold July 1 It will be up against the problem or whst to do In the matter of continuing the building opera tions, what new buildings to erect and get ting the plana ready. It Is regarded as Inevitable that the first year there will be but little' done In the way of building operations. Iowa News Notes.

The Aso and Soya are on a peace ful visit of some weeks' duration, which will take them to all of the principal porta of the Pacific coast. The two ships are prises of the Russo-Japanese war. The Aso Is the former' Russian cruiser B&yan, found in the harbor of Port Arthur after General Stoeasel surrendered. The Soya was formerly , the cruiser Varlag, which waa captured In the harbor of Chemulpo. They are comparatively modern battle ahips, - carrying heavy ' batteries and equipped with high speed engines. ' The Aso Is the flagship of Admiral IJIylil, a veteran of the war with Russia.

While Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, etc., are troubles which affect the skin, their source is far deeper than the outside cuticle. These affections re caused by Irritating humors, or urstlo acid ia tho blood. Such impurities Inflame and irritate the delicate net-work of fibrous tissue which lies Just beneath the surface of the outer skin, and the inflammatory discharge thus produced Is forced out through the pores and glands, and is continually kept up while the blood remains Infected. This exudation causes the form ation of scales and crusts so often ssen in, Ecsema, and when they are scratched off the flesh is left raw and more susceptible to other infection.
