Men Who Rule Senate and
Misrepresent the People.
Who are the real rulers of the United States today?
Those who are alive to the situation Will answer. "The mighty
men of finance; the trr.sts; the ecrpdV.'oas, through their agents, in
a Wlp that is known as 'the Ifi'.tionalr.Vfl club' and as 'the American
House of Lords.' "
Who are these men who are greater than the people whom they
have sworn to serve?
The Newspaper Enterprise Association sent its trusted correspon
dent, Marlon E. Pew, thousands of miles, expended hundreds of dollars
in an effort to paint the men who rule the senate and misrepresent the
people—not as they should he, not as they seem to be, but AS THEY
ARE.
The object of a series of articles to appear in this newspaper, of
which this is the first word, will he to give, without prejudice, fear or
favor, a plain statement of the system of present day law-making for
the government of the American people. Histories of nations are writ
ten in the lives of great men; the system of the national legislative
body can best be described by an open dealing with the characters and
lives of its leaders.
Money madness, greed, ambition, technical or absolute dishonesty,
in brief the open sores of modern American life are here laid bare.
To sacrifice an ideal is parallel to the sensation of losing a friend.
To believe that the United States senate is fettered body and soul by
a coterie of traitors, who blink when special interests blink, and in no
wise maintain the pure integrity of their office in the interests of the
great majority—this is to prostrate one of our most sacred ideals.
Only the rankest cynicism would prompt the statement that all
men in the senate are untrue and unfaithful. In this highest legis
lative body are men who really represent the progress of America in
the march of the nations. Their voices proclaim the interests of the
majority. It is not necessary to name them, for they have named
themselves. We shall not deal with them, but instead, with an organ
ized system which contests the honest purpose of the representatives
who represent.
The whole of congress is today reproached by suspicion. We have
the spectacle of the president, in his annual message, preaching to
congress a sermon based upon the principles of common moral ethics.
No other American president was ever called upon to perform such an
astonishing act.
ROOSEVELT HAS ASKED OUR CONGRESS FOR A SQUARE
DEAL!
He was trying to impress upon the nation's lawmakers the need
of legislation on behalf of the majority, some laws which would con
flict with trust interests. Why was he forced to preach morals?
Roosevelt proposed rate legislation—laws to put the small ship
per on an equal footing with Rockefeller —is before congress. Unless
the humiliation of the sermon in morals burns through dollar cal
lousness, the senators chained to Wall-st, linked securely to the rail
roads, the vassals of six-unit grafters, princes of our financial oligarchy,
will fight tooth and nail, as they have before, to protect those whom
they really represent The halls of congress will echo the words of
tmen, paid to represent the people, proclaiming In favor of vested in-
Herests. They will coin witty words, pleasant platitudes, gentle gener
alities, but what they will mean to say will be:
"TO HELL WITH THE SMALL SHIPPER! I AM WORKING
FOR MORGAN, HILL, HARRIMAN, ROCKEFELLER AND GOULD!"
Riug the Curtain Down.
Just why the world shoul become maudlin over the fact that Roht.
Fitzsimmons received a wallop from an antagonist that put him on the
ehelf for keeps, and then lost his Julia, whom the freckled has-been
nas often declared to be the superior of Venus, is past finding out.
The sporting fraternity argues that Fitz has always fought fair
»nd honest
Well, what if he has!
Has the game reached such depths that it has become necessary
to build a halo about a bruiser who made money by slugging and who
never sold out the public?
It would be just as logical to sob over the business collapse of
plain John Henry Smith, who has sold sausage—good, honest sau
sages. Dut John Henry couldn't get more than two lines in a court
record. His Julia could elope every day and twice on Sunday, without
' causing a ripple off their block.
This balo business is not run on the square. There should be a
new deal.
The truth of the matter Is that Fltz has been for years in a busi
ness so morally debasing that one by one the states, impelled by
(decency or forced by public sentiment, have outlawed it. Today prize
fighting, which Is almost as elevating as knocking bullocks in the head
in a slaughter house, Is all but crowded out of America,
t Piti fought many fights and got his money. He has always worked
' calmly and energetically for Mr. Fitzsimmons. A lot of greed and a
! desire to confound his critics led him Into the prize ring at a time when
I lie should have been seeking a cosy nook by his fireside. There should
I Ibe some provision fofr prize fighters to get into the great-grandfather
Stakes st 40.
|i It would seem, under the circumstances, highly fitting and proper
1 for Mr. Fitzsimmons to take his tears and his bleading heart, and get
fcut of the limelight. He is delaying the show,
j He is worße than a has-been. HE'S A CHESTNUT.

NO STOCKINGS, NO
CORSETS FOR SONGSTER
PITTSBURG, Jan. 3. — Society
gasps at the discovery that Mme.
Marta Sanda'.-Bramsen, prima don
na and wife of the first 'celloist of
the Pittsburg orchestra, doesn't
wear stockings and she doesn't
wear corsets. And to cap off her
eccentricities, she hates jewelry.
She says it is barbaric.
The gifted Swedish soprano ap
peared as soloist with the Pitts
burg orchestra several weeks ago,
and a few people got a glimpse of
hare ankles. Weil — their suspi
cions were confirmed several days
later when Mme. Bramsen enter
tained one evening at her home
and appeared sans hosiery.
Mme. Sandal-Bramsen explains
that she thinks corsets abominable,
and is greatly shocked at seeing
so many American women wearing
them. As to hosiery, she says it
does a positive injury to the foot,
in addition to being superfluous.
She takes just as much care of her
feet as of her hands. Instead of
shoes she wears sandals.
NEW ARMY LAW IN
FRANCE IN FORCE
(Scrlpps News Association.)
PARIS, Jan. 3. —The new army
law, which was adopted by an over
whelming majority at the last ses
sion of the chamber of deputies,
has gone into effect and, it is be
lieved, will give general satisfac
tion. The new law reduces the
term of active service in the army
from three to two years. On the
other hand it renders every French
man liable, and abolishes all for
mer exceptions concerning widow's
sons and breadwinners. While
such young men are serving in the
army, those dependent upon them
will be assisted by the state. Men.
hitherto freed fiom military serv
ice owing to weakness, will be en
rolled iv an auxiliary corps.
PRIVATE CANAL
FOR STANDARD OIL
(Scrlpps News Association.)
SULPHUR, La., Jan. 3. — The
work on the canal, which the Stan
dard Oil company is going to build
from here to the Sabine river, a
distance of 17 miles, was begun
today. The canal, which will form
a junction with the Sabine river at
or below Orange, will be used for
the transportation of the siffphur
and other products of the Union
Sulphur company, which is a
branch of the Standard Oil com
pany. The canal is to be 30 feet
wide at tho bottom and is to have
a minimum depth of six feet.
READY FOR DUTY
(Scrlpps News Association.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—ln compli
ance with the orders of the navy
department, the repair work on the
ships of the North Atlantic squad
ron, which had been sent to the
various ship yards on tho Atlantic
coast for a general overhauling,
have been completed and the en
tire squadron is ready at any mo
ment to assemble for the annual
trip to the southern drill ground.
She makes all her own clothes.
In the house she wears typical
Norwegian dress. When she sings
she wears low necked garments,
as she believes the throat should
be open.
Mme. Bramsen is an extremely
athletic woman, an accomplished
horsewoman, a good tennis player
and an expert on snowshoes. When
she married M. Bramsen several
years ago, she chose as their
honeymoon trip a tour through Lap
land, and they traveled much on
skis, sliding for miles down hills
and walking over huge snow drifts.
She can speak Swedish, Norwegian,
Danish, French, Italian and Ger
man, and is now studying English.
King Oscar II of Sweden heard
Mme. Bramsen sing when she was
14 and arranged to have her enter
the royal conservatory at Chris
tiania, so she could perfect her mu
sical education. When only 10
years of age she sang before an
audience of 20,000 in her native
city. She has been singing in pub
lic ever since.

No woman with unsound kidneys

troubles.

Backache itself is only the aching

because the kidneys are in the

troubles.
Sick headaches, dizzy spells, ner
vousness, irritability, neuralgic and
rheumatic pains, weak eyes, palpi

by the retention in the blood of
poisons that the kidneys should fil
ter out and pass off in the urine.

CRISIS IN THE

(Scrlpps News Association.)
PITTSIiURG, Jan. 3.—The feder

Glass Manufacturers, organized to
make war upon the American Win
dow Glass company, which stands
for the glass trust, met here today,
and it i s expected that this meeting
will bear far reaching and impor

made a big cut in the prices of
window glass which was felt se

Not Exactly as Arranged.
HOW LAURA AND LETTIE UP
SET THE OLD FOLKS'
PLANS.
There was not in the palmy days
of old Virginia a finer estate than
Belle Air. Its noble mansions
crossed a hill of gentle slope, along
the foot of which rippled the wa
ters of the James river. The space
between consisted of a broad and
ample lawn, shaded with magnifi
cent forest trees.
Laura Beverly, the heiress of
Belle Air, was an orphan of 19. Her
parents had died while she was an
infant, and In the family of her
uncle, Colonel Ix-igh, she had en
joyed the tender care and affection
bestowed upon the only daughter
of her kind relatives.
Laura's father had expressed a
wish that his daughter and Charles
Wortham, the son of an old friend,
should marry, hut the idea did not
entirely suit the young woman, who
believed that she should have some
thing to say in the matter. She
had evolved a scheme for changing
affairs.
Lettie Leigh, her cousin, was to
play tho part of heiress of Rolle
Air, to see if the young man could
fall in love with money.
A similar engagement had years
before been entered into by the
parents of Lottie and the father of
the owner of Hedlauds, a nearby
estate.
Charles Wortham and a friend.
Ernest Leftwell, arrived together
on the day they were expected, and
before the visit was really com
menced, Wortham was devoting
himself to Lettie. He continued his
attentions for the two weeks that
he was being entertained and on
the afternoon before the date set

Doan's Kidney Pills are made of
pure roots and herbs that have a
direct healing action on tne kid
neys. They soothe, cleanse and
stimulate, rouse the kidneys to ac
tion, and drive the- kidney poisons
out of the body. They remove the
cause and cure permanently. Many
women of this city have been cured
and gladly tell of it.
SPOKANE PROOF.
Mrs. A. L. Winkley, of 2325 Col
lege avenue, Spokane, Wash., says:
"1 have recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills to a number of my friends
and neighbors because of the fine
work the remedy ha 3 done for
members of our family, especially
my brother, who found Ihls remedy
of the greatest benefit In treating
a had case of kidney complaint.
If the soothing and healing proper
ties of Doan's Kidney Pills were
universally known kidney com
plaint would lose many of its ter
rors."
not compete with the trust without
sacrificing every bit of their pro
fit. The trust is In a much better
position, because in the works of
the American Window Glass com
pany labor saving machinery is
used, while the independent con
cerns manufacture exclusively
hand blown glass, which requires
a great many more skilled work
men.

for departing the young folks went
for a walk iv the woods. By chance
the two couples separated and
when Leftwcll and Laura appeared
on the veranda an hour or two
later the scene which greeted them
was picturesque. Colonel Leigh and
Charles Wort ham were engaged In
animated conversation, while Let
tie was in tears and her mother
was doing her hest to comfort her.
"I am satisfied, sir," said Worth
am, in answer to some objection
of the elder man, "that Miss Vev
erly will fli-i censj'. »tion lor her
loss —"
"Miss Beverly will speak for her
self," said Laura, facing the group.
"1 have just promised Mr. Leftwell
that I will become his wife."
The silence that greeted this an
nouncement was oppressive and
the consternation on the faces of
the older couple was amusing.
"But —but—surelythere Is some
mistake! You do not understand!
Miss Beverly—" began the colonel
in an excited manner.
' Yes we do, uncle," rejoined his
niece. "Ernest knows all about it
and I know Lettie will not he jeal
ous when I tell her that I am to"
have her heir of Redlands In re
turn for Mr. Wortham, who, no
doubt, knows by this time that we
have practiced a little deception
all around."
"And Charles doesn't care a bit
that I am not the rich Miss Bever
ly," broke In Lettie, her fair young
face presenting a picture of per
fect happiness.
"I hope you will forgive us all,
sir," said Left well, "for we are all
perfectly satisfied with the way
things have turned out."
