Warren was first sent to the) United States»senate in December, 1890, and served) 1 March 4, 1893. He was out of office owing to! lure of the legislature to elect for a period of two years. and has served continuously ever since; and when his Present term expires in 1925 he will have served the state of Wyoming United States senator for 32) years 3 months. Exceeding in length of service any} member of the present senate and also exceeding in| continuous service any other member except Henry/ Cabot Lodge, who came to the senate in 1893 and) has been a member continuously since. Frank W. Mondell first became representative from Wyoming in the 54th congress March 4, 1895. He) served one term and was retired in 1896 when the! west went crazy over the free silver issue. He was| elected in 1898 to the 56th congress and took his seat March 4, 1899, and has been re-elected continuously When his term expires in 1923 he will have| since. served 18 terms or 26 years, 24 of which have been continuous. Those who outrank Mr. Mondell in the housc are} Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, 23 terms; Frederick H.| Gillette of Massachusetts, 5 terms; Henry Allen} Cooper of Wisconsin, 14 terms; Thomas S. Butler. of} Pennsylvania, William S. Greene of Massachusetts, | James R. Mann of Illinois, 13 terms, continuous. The long service of Senator Warren explains why he is the chairman of the appropriations committee of the senate, the most powerful committee of that body also why he holds second place on military af- fairs and public buildings and grounds. He could have his choice of committee chairmanships. Mr. Mondell is floor leader of the Republican ma- jority by, virtue of his constant re-election. Under the present rules it is the most authoritative position! in the house in control of legislation. He exercises much of the power heretofore the prerogative of the speaker and which would be restored should a man like Mr. Mondell occupy that place. Mr. Mondell could have any committee chairman-| ship he ‘might choose but he declined the privilege in order to become the leader. The rule of seniority obtains in both branches of} congress and by it experienced members come natu- rally into the important places in the organization. The wisest thing Wyoming has ever done “has been to re-elect Senator Warren and Representative Mon- dell term after term. By doing this these faithful|\ servants have come to the top and are in their re- spective branches the most influential members in congress. They have been enabled to direct, all the legislation in the one branch and hold down the ap- propriations of public money in the other branch. By their ability, experience and prestige they have se- cured for Wyoming irrigation projects, military es- tablishments, public buildings, weather bureaus and many other important governmental enterprises Wyo- ming never could have secured but for their long service and high standing in congress. In brief these men have greater weight and in- fluence in the nation than the representatives from any other state of the forty-eight. We are envied by other states by reason of the su- perior wisdoni and foresight of our people in return- ing these able and faithful members at each succeed- ing election. The talk about changes or retirement of either of these men is rank foolishness. They should remain steadfastly on the job, making record for Wyoming and for themselves.

The ways and means comuittee of the house fram- ing the permanent tariff measure has abandoned the traditional method of establishing the base rate of on wool by accepting the scoured pound instead in the grease. Each méthod has had its s in the past but the “wool in the grease” s have always been numerous and strong enough to write their idea into the law. congress of 1913 came to edule K,” the wool schedule, and attained to much fame. bered that on that occasion the} mority leader Sereno E. Payne, the identical change which the pres- ec has determined upon. Mr. Payne bstitute for paragraph 7 of Schedule} ng: on all wools and hair of class 1, if im-} 1e grease, shall be upon the basis .of clean content. The clean content shall be deter- ed by scouring tests which shall be made accord- to regulations which the secretary of the treas- prescribe.”” peaking upon this phase of the subject Mr. Payne told the Democratic majority: | ported i On March 4, 1895, he was elected again | | suffer would never get a start. combing machinery since 1914 have made possible, is the lack of any appreciable distinction today between Class 1 and Class 2 wools, and it is announced that the forthcoming tariff bill will not include those ‘clas-| sifications. The news which is received from day to} day concerning the pending Republican tariff bill gives assurance that it is being framed along lines far more scientific than ha ever heretofore char- acterized tariff legislation, and should amply repay| those impatient ones who are insisting on speed. No tariff bill which was speeded through congress ever| gave satisfaction to the country. It is the most I borious and painstaking phase of legislation with| which the American congress has to deal, and if it is| to endure with any degree of permanence it must be drafted with utmost care.

SOR ere FRANKLIN'S ADVICE ON ECONOMY. Possibly, there never was in all the history of the American republic, any citizen who offered uniformly | sounder advice to the people than Benjamin Frank- lin, And what is more he practiced his own precepts. He set the example. His philosophy of a hundred and} fifty years ago is the kind that lives always. Is as! good today as it was then and will be a hundred and| fifty years hence. In his lifetime there came a period when public | economy was necessary. No one had had a more se- vere schooling in economy than Benjamin Franklin,| no man of that day was better qualified to speak on| the subject. We were not doing business in billions! as we are today but the relative proportions were somewhat the same and instead of billions it was/ thousands. | His plan of saving a half million dollars to the peo- ple was characteristic of the man and expressed in characteristic style when he said: “As I spent some weeks last winter in visiting my old acquaintances in the Jerseys, great complaints I heard for want of money, and that leave to make more paper bills could not be obtained. Friends and countrymen, my advice on this head shall cost you nothing; and, if you will not be angry with me for! giving it, I promise you not <o be offended if you do not take it. , “You spend yearly at least 200,000 pounds, it is| said, in European, East Indian and West Indian com- modities. Suppose one-half of this expense to ‘be in things absolutely necessary, the other half may be called superfiuities, or at best, conveniences, which, however, you might live without for one little year,| and not suffer exceedingly. Now, to save this half, observe these few directions: 1, When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring,| mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember,| a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is| better and more creditable than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off. “2. When you are inclined to buy china ware, chintzes, India silks, or any other of their fiimsy, slight manufactures, it would not be so bad with you as to insist on your absolutely resolving against it; all I advise is, to put it off (as you do your repent-| ance) till another year; and this, in some respects, | may prevent an occasion of repentance. | If you are now a drinker of punch, wine, or tea, twice a day, for the ensuing year drink them but once a day. If you now drink them but once a day, do it but ever other day. If you do it now but once a week, reduce the practice to once a fortnight. And, if you do not exceed in quantity as you lessen the times, half your expense in these articles will be saved, “4, When you incline to drink rum, fill the glass half with water. “Thus, at the year’s end, there will be a hundred thousand pounds more money in your country. “If paper money in ever so great a quantity could be made, no man could get any of it without giving! something for it. But all he saves in this way will be! his own for nothing, and his country actually so! much richer. Then the merchants’ old and doubtful debts may be honestly-paid off, and trading becomes surer thereafter, if not so extensive.” ——__0—_____ DIET FOR HALE OLD AGE. “There.is nothing particularly new in the dietary advice given by Prof. McCollum of Johns Hopkins university,” says the Brooklyn Eagle, “but it is re-| assuring to have the simple life at the table set forth by a man of such eminent authority in the field of hygiene. “The marked conquest of infectious diseases and the lowered death rates from them in recent years have been accompanied by a steadily rising death rate| from intestinal diseases and those in which harden-| ing of the arteries is a controlling factor. Dr. Mc- Collum points out, as other physicians have done, that the overeating of meat and the undereating of milk and vegetables is chiefly responsible for these condi- tions. He would begin his quart of milk a day and his free use of green and salads in early manhood, so that the diseases from which so many business men “But diet, although potent, is not the whole gospel of health. There is just published here a letter from Lord Leverhulme to ‘Tom’ Drier of Boston, in which he cites an observation of Mr. Gladstone .in the old days of stage coaches. Mr. Gladstone advocated level roads for coach routes until he found that the coach| horses of the hilly roads lasted half as long again as those on the level, from which the then young states- man deduced that it was ‘variety and change, uphill and down valley, collar work at one point and no col- lar work at another that was best for the health of a horse, and, in his experience, best for the health of| man,’ ‘Variety and vegetables’ would not make a bad health slogan. fDi at te The Temple Telegram ems to think the proper “In my judgment the principles of this substitute will yet be written into a tariff law.

There seems to be an undefined im. pression that the idustries of a nation are ihe result of some gigantic force that nothing but a great external calamity, such as war, pestilence, or a financial panic can check. and so, when depressions come without a rec ognized cause, the public looks for some great or mysterious thing to ount for them. A careful analysis shows that the industries of a nation are nothing more than an aggregation of the acts of individuals. An indi- vidual's act may be of as little impor. tance to the whole industries of a na- tion as a drop of water to an ocean but the ocean ts made up of nothing but Crops of water, When an individ- ual acting for himself. or for the busi- ness which he directs, contemplates an expenditure for a permanent improve- ment, he secures plans and specifica tions, and on these asks for bids on the work. When the bids are received. and he has determined on what he considers for his best interest, or the best interest of the company he di he acts, and {f that action is the acceptance of one of the bids, then the ocean of industrial prosperity has re- ceived one more drop to swell’ its volume. if that action is to curtail or abandon some existing business, then the oceah of industrial depression has received one more drop to add to its city is A— water, the ra where Queen Queen ¥., as Syany south. jee 4 individual act may not be may attract no more notice at the time than the drop of water which falls into the ocean, but it is the ag- gregation of just such acts that makes up the mighty force which turns the “There's a Reason’ Bundle of Laundry And send it to us.
