yond the senate. That he regards as
the stepping stone. He aims at the
-presidency. And I think he cherishes
the conviction that he will achieve his
ambition. This young man who enters
upon a senatorial career so hopefully
has many elements of strength and pop
ularity and not a few of the qualities
'of a leader. First of all he has enthus
iasmthe enthusiasm of Blalc. He
Is a republican all over, and a partisan
of partisans. He has the power of at
tracting men. He is one of the most
forcible political speakers In the coun
try. He has a proper amount of senti
ment in his make up. He has imagina
tion. He can put words together and
turn graceful phrases. He is young,
able, energetic, with a strong will. He
has his weaknesses, too. He is ner
vous, and he Is somewhat given to
soaring the eagle after the manner of
Blaine he is a type of Blaine republi
canism. But, taken altogether, he is
a strong man, with a keener intellect,
greater oratorical gifts, and a more ag
gressive, pronounced policy than most
of the present party leaders. Thurston
is more pliant and versatile than Mc
Kinley he has two tunes whereas the
Ohioan only has one. He has all the
showy qualities of Foraker, iand the
Judgment which the latter lacks. He
has more warmth than Harrison and
gets into closer contact with the peo
ple. He is more assertive than Allison.
He may not be as smooth a manipula
tor as Quay or Piatt. Mr. Thurston
has mapped out a policy for himself
that is peculiarly his own. He is for
McKInley's -protection,-but he goes far
ther than that. He is for a policy of
patriotic Americanism, a policy that
will, to use his own words, intensify
the .American Idea, induce loyalty to
American institutions, develop Ameri
can interests, and that will keep the
American flag flying over the greatest
possible terltory. This may be senti
mental; but there seems to be a de
mand for It at this time, and unless I
am a poor prophet It is going to be a
powerful factor in Thurston's ad
vancement. It isn't every politician
who goes to Washington with a policy
of his own. Thurston Is going to make
his count. His first opportunity is In
the existing foreign complications. He
has the requisite aggressiveness and
ability to keep himself and his policy
to the front.
The junior senator from Nebraska
certainly has a bright future before
him. He has already accomplished
much for a man of his years, and if he
can keep his health. It is not unreason
able to expect that he will rise to the
top. Allen's candle Is burning down
close to the stick. Thurston's has only
a little more than commenced to burn.
One has little or no hope of the future.
The other looks with confidence to the
attainment of the Great Prize.

Steve Correy was at Waterloo the
flrst of the week.
The T.M.C.A. will hold open house on
the 18th and 20th of this month to the
friends of the association. The interior
of the building will be handsomely dec
orated and two programs of excellent
merit will be provided.
There are many literary organiza
tions In this city but about the only one
that does original literary work is the
English club. This club has a member
ship of about twenty-five. Most of the
members are students of the univers
ity, and of course the English profes
sors are Included in the list of members.
Iast Saturday evening the club met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Wil
son, at Sixteenth and Q streets and held
a most interesting session. Miss Amy
Bruner read a dainty little story to be
gin the program. It was the love story
of an old maiden lady and it had
touches of comedy and pathos in it
that made it very interesting. It was
written as natural as life, clearly drawn
as an Ink etching, and It showed Miss
Bruner to be perfectly at home at story
writing.
The only original verse on the pro
gram was a short poem by William
Reed Dunroy, entitled "A Ballad of
Love." Miss Anna Broady read a story
that depicted childhood as natural as
life. She drew a picture In which the
games and sports such as we all have
known In our youthful days were
brought very close to the heart once
more.
Following her paper Prof. Herbert
Bates read a paper on Frances Thomp
son, the new English poet that has
been attracting so much attention of
late. The paper was strongly written
and It gave a remarkably clear Idea of
the style of the poet that yet is new to
most American readers. He read four
poems from the author's collection,
that showed the new poet to be a re
markable writer, one who has things
to say and says them in a new way.
Miss Anna Prey, one of the best story
writers in the club, had a story also.
She usually writes humorous stories
but the one she read at the club showed
that, as is often the case, a humorous
writer is also a master of pathos also.
The story was sombre and had to do
with a dead baby and a broken heart.
Keene Abbott was the critic for the
evening, and he with his original and
witty criticisms made the end of the
program seem one of the best parts.
After the critics report plates were
passed and dainty sandwiches, coffee,
ices and cake were served. Before
breaking up Miss Katherlne Mellck, the
presiding officer, on behalf of the club,
thanked Mr. and Mrs. Wilson for the
kindness shown In Inviting the club to
their house.
The art department of the Woman's
club met last Saturday afternoon in the
new art studio at the university. A
goodly number of women who are in
terested in art met and had an inter
esting and instructive time. Miss Cora
Parker exhibited a large number of
photographs of the famous paintings
In Paris and gave a conversation on the
merits of the several artists represent
ed. Mrs. Benjamin F. Bailey Is the
leader of this department and she al
ways succeeds in having meetings that
are interesting.
The current events deparement of
the Woman's club meets regularly on
Saturday afternoon at the Capitol
building. Mrs. A. J. Sawyer presides
and her tact and good leadership has
much to do with the success of this de
partment. All the principal events of
the world are discussed. It Is a sort of
a gossip .society with the world to .gos
sip about and It is a means of making
the women who attend better acquaint
ed with the great events that are taking
place in the world. The attendance is
good and every one takes some part in
the meeting.
The new library building at the state
university Is ready for occupancy at
last. It Is a handsome structure and
fills a much needed want. The class
rooms In the building are large, light
and commodious. The art studio Is a
very fine room and when some good
pictures have been donated to the uni
versity by some enterprising and phil
anthropic men It will be a credit to the
state.
Poster exhibits are now quite the fad
in the cities, but as yet Lincoln has not
taken her place In the procession.
