Th# nil] significance of the na
tions) election on Norcmbfr 5 la
becoming more manifest every day.
M legislatures in the various states
?elect successors to 1'nited States
Senators who have served their day
and their Interests and are now be
ing retired to private life.
In almost every instance the men
thus far chosen repreeeut the pro
gressive sentiment of the (lay, eith
er as Democrats or members of the
Progressive party. The old guard
la rapidly passing Colorado has
just elected Thomas M Patterson
and Former Governor Shafroth to
fill the places of Simon Guggenheim
and the late Senator Hughes, both
of whom were noted standpatters
Nebraska has elected George W.
Norrls, the Progressive who led the
Hght against the Cannon rules in
the House, to succeed Norris Bivwn,
standpatter l?akota has elected'
Thorns* Sterling, Progressive, to
succeed Senator Gamble, a stand
pat leader, and Kansas is electing
a Democrs- to succeed Curtis, stand
patter.
The Senate that will meet in spe
cial session In March will contain
many new men, almost without ex
ception supporters of the new
school of statesmen, men who get
their credentials direct from the
people and are pledged to repre
sent the people rather than the in
terests
American voters have cause for
congratulation and for a large
measure of satisfaction when they
remember that it was only a few
years ago thnt the I'nited States
Senate was absolutely dominated by
ey. John C. Spooner, Julius Caesar
Barrows, Thomas Carter, Nathan
B Scott. Charles Warren Fairbanks,
John Keen, Joseph Benson Forak
er. and others who apparently took
pride In keeping the Senate unre^
sponsive to the will of the people
There are only a few of them left

"One of the depositor* in my con

to save tbe old one.
" ?Sorry," the teller said, "but It's a

but shook his bead.
"'I cannot violate one of the iron

answered. and the man turned away.
"A month went by. and then one day

The matter came to my attention some

HIGH COST OF LIVING
New York, Jan. 31 ? War ot
high cost of prices of butter ??i d^
?I??J V... ??>?? UniH0?l?n?' <???"?
SAys the executive committee in iti
appeal, "that there ia plenty of but
ter in the markets and that new
butter is coming in well. The freez
er butter was put away at 25 and
27 cents, and could be sold at a
profit at 30 to 32 cents for the best
"The high price of butter Is un
warranted, and we are therefore
sending a notice to our members
throughout the country to decrease
consumption In butter as rapidly as
possible, using as substitutes Jellies,
fruit, apple butter, jams, etc."
BRAVERY AS A GIFT.
Bodouma Do Not Look Upon Cowarrf
>co a Oisgraco.
The Idea that nothing Is so disgrace
ful as cowardice is one that Is not held
by all races. Among the Bedouins a
sheik may be the leader of his tribe
only in peace. When there Is war the
chances are that be will relinquish his
leadership to the lighting sheik.
"I have not the gift of courage," once
anid an Arab chief to an (englishman,
spologiting for not putting himself at
the bead of a Imnd that he liad sent to
attack another tribe.
The Rnglishman learned that these
nomad.4 esteem personal bravery as a
gift, for the want of which a mnn la
no more to be censured than he ia to
be blamed for not being handsome.

The following Instances Illustrate
?triklngly this double nature of the
Bengali.

?f the execution the officer who was

The man wiahed for some sweet

trdered. and on their arrival the pro

The doomed man ate the sweetmeats
rith a relish aa he calmly walked
ilong the way of death. When the

isd followed seated themselves on the
rround. The man waited a few sec
rods to finish the last morsel, then
counted the gallows with composure

Strange as It may seem, that man
rould have been panic stricken at the
