Now' that the election of senator* la a thing which 1* up to the people we are given a Mrlklng opportunity to find out how far the people follow end how far they approve of the thlnga that go on In Waahlngton. Thitnkn to senators, who cull thern aetves democrat*, Ihla democratic con greae goes on record aa refuatng to repeal a ahlp subsidy unconditionally. The Now York World aaye that thla senate "la to he remembered aa a democratic aenate which In order to preserve a ahlp aubaldy waa willing to violate h treaty. "It la to he remembered aa a demo eratlc aenate which would not wipe out a ahlp aubaldy except aa It sol emnly affirmed Its right to subsidize ahlps hereafter, treaty or no treaty. "It is to lie remembered aa a demo cratic senate In which atralght for ward anti-subsidy legislation waa Im possible.” These statements are alt too true. It is evident that the upper house, de spite its recent change to a more democratic basis, la still Representa tive of special Interests. Thla wllj continue until the people rise up anu rebuke thclr senators by replacing thorn: W* quote The World further: 'Tho republican law deadheading our const u iae-shipptng monopoly at the Manama Canal la to hr repealed thla week, not as a matter of prlnd ple Hint not as an expression of na tional Rood faith, but reluctantly and grudgingly. with an accompanying res olution nollfyloß the whole world that b) ao doing the drmoeratlc aenate waive* no right to vote hountle* to favored Internal* even when by treaty we have Isnmd ourselves not to adopt *uoh ft policy.” We can rend the action of the demo cratic senator* only In the simple terms of privilege maatcrlna democ racy. Everybody knows that both aides of the -eenete have been under the ineidlou* Influences of special privilege, which has for so long reigned supreme In Washington. It Is scarcely conceivable that the aver age democrat throughout the country 1* confused or deceived by the sub tle sophistries of politicians who have laid Streaa Upon the bugaboo that this nation would abdicate right* In Pan ama by abiding by it* pledges to Eng land. For thla reason w* cherish the hops that Vardaman and his allies wilt sat their farewell greetings when the people agsln voice their convic tions at the polls.

WALKER. TIM AND TED. Tim and Ted were black kittens, and they were fast growing to be big kittens, too. They were so near alike that you could only tell them apart when >qu looked at their feet. Ted had one white paw, while Tim was all black —not a hit of white on his little body. Now Tim and Ted were growing to be very bad kittens, and some times Tallis gi ON THE TOP OF THE FENCE they caught a bird and ate It. *'l think we could catch more birds,'' said Tim, “if there were not two of us; one of us Is always sure to be seen. “Now, I have a scheme that I am sure will help us. We must wot be seen together, and then the birds will think there Is only one cat. “You go to sleep on the top of the fence, where you can be plainly seen and I will hide behind a bush, and when the birds see you nsleep they will fly dow n to the ground and I can catch them." Ted agreed to this If Tim would promise to sleep as long as he did. Tim promised he would, and the next morning Ted took his place on tap of the fence and went to sleep. Pretty soon the birds saw Tod. and after looking about for Tim and not finding him they flew down to the ground. Out darted Tim and caught one of the poor little birds and car ried It Into the bushes. Away flew the others Into a tree, where they could see Ted on the fence. Then they knew what had happened. “We will pay him off tomorrow,” said one bird. "He will sleep on the fence and his brother will watch to cstch us, and I think that will be the last time they will try that trick." Tim waited until he was tired, and, being satisfied that the birds would not fly down again that day, he awakened Ted. The next morning Tim took his place on the fence and Ted hid behind the bush, but not a bird earne down. He could see them In the tree, but they did not seem hungry that morn ing. although there were crumbs on the ground. After a while the birds flew out of the tree and circled around right over where Tim was sleeping on the fence, and then suddenly they all descend ed upon the sleeping Tim. They picked at his back and hie head, being careful not to gat near hla mouth, and when tha surprised Tim opened hla ayes they tried to pick them out. Tim closed his e>es and tried to get down from the fence, but he could not see his way, so be By Tad me-owed as loudly as he could for help. Ted ran out from his hiding place, and when he saw the birds around Tim he thought Tim had .played a trick on him. “I went to sleep for you and let you catch them,” he said, “and now you don’t give me a chance at all.” “Help! Help!" me-ow-ed poor Tim; “can't you see they are trying to kill me," he called to Ted. “Why don’t you catch them,” call ed Ted thinking Tim must be cracked to let the brds fly around hm and not get one. Ted ran up the fence, and when the birds saw him they flew at ‘him just as he reached the top of the fence and was holding on with his front paws. Ted closed his eyes and dropped to the ground me-ow-ing as he ran for shelter. When the birds flew at Ted, Tint opened his eyes, and finding he was free, he jumped and ran. Both kittens ran under the steps trembling and looking as frightenea as kittens can. “I thought birds were afraid of kit tens.” said Tim after a while. “I did, too,” said Ted; “but I guess | they are only afraid of big cats. I | think the sparrows were the ones i that picked the hardest, and I am go ing to eat a lot and go to bed early, so I can grew big quick, and then I will show these sparrows they cannot play tricks on me.” "I am going to eat and go to bed early, too," said Tim. "Maybe IT we go to sleep now we'll make up big. "All right," said Ted, settling down for a nap. “Let's try It.” (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)
