They plumed themselves on the dominance of New England's education and religious teach- " log. And following that, they showed the effect of baked beans and codfish on literature. Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, Emerson, Hawthorne, Web ster, Choate, Sumner are all of the New Englandese and who shall deny their influence? The worship of the college degree for the sake of the degree is a fetish which has come from the "rock bound coast." The college degree there is regarded as a patent which must be obtained before the sacred portals of society and business are opened. This is typically New England in its point of view. It rivals the sacred hair cutting processes of the aboriginal initiate; tion into the tribal family, in its firm hold on the North Eastern mind. In all tbistand if we believe the New. Englanders) even in our moral and moneymaking attributes we owe a debt to our mythical ancestors of the solar Mayflour and to have had a portion of Plymouth Rock sticking in our Adam's
PSaaaWaMi ft the At
L apple since 1020. , -But is the rest of the United States
dominated by these ideas? Are we all to bow down and worship the Pilgrim fathers?. The question of race force and , dominance is none too clear. A careful and thorough study of race in the United States by Albert Bernhardt -Faust has something to say for the ; Germanic influence in this country. No student of municipal affairs in the last and present century will deny that the " Celtic strain as represented by the : Irish has been a dominant one. These may not look so showy and glittering, but in the real contest for actual supremacy which is in its real essence the real history, the purer Celtic and Teutonic strains have pushed aside the . descendants of the Mayflower who flourished up to the middle of the last f century. Besides this we have too long over- . looked the purest strain in the country from a geographical point of view the Cavalier of the South. No force has greater possibilities in the next ' century, A strain which though inferior in numbers stood against awful odds for five long years and recuperated with the rapidity which has marked the subsequent growth of the South Is the real force. The dominance oi the Southern white over the outnumbering negro race is a sign. But what is much more Is the sure develon-
r ment of the South by southern men.
wnicn 19 going to be in the near future what the West has been for so many years. With these forces at work the Blue
; Stocking of New England as a type will
not long hold the boasted supremacy He will, we fear, continue to celebrate to many Forefather's Days' and leave his glory in the past while others are making a future. THE ROOT AND BRANCH We believe the people of the United States are interested in the question of Cannon and the rules by which the House of Representation is controlled.
- Cannon has the power and everyone knows how he uses it. We have had J occasion to speak of Mark Sullivan, of f ; 'Collier's and his succinct way of put- ' . jilng the truth. In the following it is i ! easy to keep your eye on the ball. And
V&oae who are Interested In the conduct ct their own business may reallize a lit- ; tie better how it is not conducted for Y their benefit. iV'' Here it all Is very completely the ttr Sullivan says: . Cannon dominates Congress through
the committee-appointing power. Ninetenths of the work of Congress is done in committees; nine-tenths of the Important decisions are made, not by public aye and nay vote on the floor, but privately in committee rooms. And the committees as now constituted, are merely Cannon's fingers and thumbs. Upon important committees he puts the members of his own little clique, reliable men who can be depended up-
j on as surely as he himself to serve the interests he serves. Minor committee appointments, carrying with them dignity and perquisites; of patronage, he uses as rewards. Very frequently he punishes them who displease him by removing them from desirable committee places. The committee system is illustrated by one important matter now publicly conspicuous. Ballinger, it is now understood, prefers to submit himself to investigation, so the inquiry by Congress will probably come. The machinery of it, exactly like the course of a thousand matters less in the limelight is illustrative. On the first day of the present session, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, a Democrat, introduced a resolution whose effect, regardless of the official title, would be to investigate Ballinger, the Land Office, and the Cunningham cases. That resolution, as soon as it has been introduced, was given this official designation: "Referred to the Committee on Rules." The Committee on Rules can (1) report the resolution favorably, in which case every member of Congress will have an opportunity to vote "aye" or "nay" on it: (2i report the resolution favorably with the same result; or (."?). just do nothing. For the purpose of staving off an investigation of Ballinger, course number three would be the most effective: it achieves the result with the least noise, and avoids the embarrassment of making each member of Congress a public stand on one side or the other. The members of the Committee on Rules are; Joseph O. Cannon of Illinois, John Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Walter I. Smith of Iowa, Champ Clark of Missouri, John J. Fitzgerald of New York. The first three are the Republican members. They are the only ones who matter, for the Democratic minority of a committee has substantially no voice. Cannon and Dalzell are fairly well known. Smith is about the only Republican from Iowa who is not an Insurgent. Rules is one of the committees which Cannon packs most carefully, for it deals with important affairs, including appeals from his own decisions. It may be the country wants Ballinger investigated; maybe not. Maybe a majority of Congress thinks he should be investigated; maybe not. The Committee on Rules can put the matter to a vote or it can avoid that result. "My resolution to investigate is before the Committee on Rules." said Mr. Hitchcock, "but there is no way to force the committee to report. If ninety per cent, of the House desired an inquiry, it would be impossible, under the rules, without the Speaker's consent." Hems Gathered in From Far and Near Tramping in Winter. From the Chicago Record-Herald. When the snow is as heavy on city streets and sidewalks as it is now one sometimes finds it difficult to get from his residence to the street car line or elevated station. And when a person who has just struggled over sidewalks deep in snow unfolds his newspaper and reads that a Saturday "hike" is scheduled across country roads, by a hundred or more men and women he probably puts down the winter tramp across country as a new form of insanity. He may even feel as deep pain at the thought of it as was felt by the "hot-air" enthusiast who a day or two ago loudly bewailed the "murders" that were being done by cold air upon innocent women and children. As a matter of fact, country walks in winter, save in times of exceptionally bad storms, are highly enjoyable when one is properly equipped for them. The winter storm is not really so great an obstacle to walking as the summer sun. The latter is a burden, and at tipies a real peril to the tram per. The former is a good foe to battle with, and, when the battle is over, one's vitality and capacity for enjoyment is enhanced rather than depressed. Whisky and Common Sense. From the Philadelphia Ledger. There is an element of the grotesque in an elaborate opinion from the president of the United States upon the definition of the word "whisky." But since no subject is now exempt from governmental activity, it is impossible to say that any one subject is less worthy than another of the president's paternal care. And whatever Mr. Taft takes up he elucidates. His solution of the whisky controversy is an admirable example of his clarifying thought, his rate faculty of logical arrangement. It was worth while to have the question raised to have it so completely disposed of. The president uses words with their accepted significance, and interprets statutes in accordance with their plain intention. For as long as the government of the United States has existed the word "whisky" has been used and understood as including "all potable liquor distilled from grain." Only the Chance Wanted. From the Atlanta Constitution. The people are anxious to give congress credit for good work. It's simply up to congress to make good. Generally Observed. From the Atchison Globe. We have observed that the boldest Insurgent makes less noise In con-

Br'er Fox Resents Being Farmed
a-aBBBBaBBaBaBaMSHsaaaaaB-aaa--aaaaBaaaaBBBBaaa Experiment of a Maine Man Does Not Meet With Great Success as the Animals All Sulk and Then Die.
Portland. Me., Jan. 3. Phineas Chase, of Solon, in Somerset county, is the only man in the country who has ever tried to make a business of raising foxes. He was induced to embark in tiis enterprise because fox skins are in demand by fur dealers aud bring from eight to ten dollars each and oftentimes much more. Chase has been a trapper about all of his life and has caught many foxes in his traps and he conceived the idea of raising them on his own farm and always having at hand a plentiful supply of fox skins. Preparatory to breeding foxes Mr. Chase enclosed with wire 'netting several acres of land which was grown up with bushes and small trees and was filled Mith rocks. But he failed to recognize the fact that foxes can dig under any fence that ever was built, and one morning he discovered that his stock of foxes had disappeared. .This would have been discouraging to most men, but the old trapper took BOUND TO A CHAIR Body of Wealthy Real Estate Man Found Yesterday In a Loft. IS VERY PECULIAR CASE New York, Jan. 3.- in the loft of his factory, bound hand and foot to a chair, Morris Nathanson, real estate dealer, was found dead Sunday. The room was filed with gas that had escaped from a broken pipe. He had been dead for several hours. No marks of violence could be discovered on his body. Nathanson failed to return home Saturday night, and when morning came his wife reported his absence to the police. Mrs. Nathanson called up her husband's partner, Isaac H. Gold, and he, his wife and Mrs. Nathanson went to the factory today and found the body. Examination showed that the body had been thrice wound with half-inch rope under the arms, and bound to the back of the chair. Both legs were fastened to the legs of the chair and also bound to a pillar. The right hand was free, but the left hand was bound with two twists, and so firmly knotted to an arm of the chair that the Coroner said he could not believe that a man with only one free hand could have tied the knots. Red stains were about the body, but there were no blood stains. There was no money in the pockets, one of which had teen turned inside out. His desk, which adjoined his partner's, was opened and littered with torn and crumpled papers. On a sample table was a woman's fur-lined kid glove, torn and partly turned inside. The safe was locked. Near it lay Nathanson's hat. and above it the gas lamp had been broken. Nathanson, so far as it is known, had no reason to commit suicide. He was 4l years old. in the best of health, his business was solvent and he lived happily with his wife and daughter. Two sons. Benjamin and John, are in business at Fayetteville, Tennessee. The police detained the partner on the strength of what they say is a disagreement between his story of his movements last night and that told by his wife. He was later released on $1,0X bail.

up his feuce and proceeded to dig a ditch four feet deep around the enclosure. This ditch he filled with large stones, which even foxes could not remove. He then replaced his fence and turned loose another quartet of foxes. That was two years ago and the foxes are still at Mr. Chase's farm, but they have not increased rap idly in numbers. Confinement and a pining for the freedom of the woods have interfered with the natural fe cundity of the animals, and the Indus try which Mr. Chase hoped to estab lish upon a firm basis is languished. Although despised by most people, the skunk, which is very plentiful, is now greatly in demand by furriers and sells for one dollar, a pelt and even at higher prices. One man in Somerset county essayed to raise skunks as Phineas Chase has tried to raise foxes. He found that the skunk is a cannibal and much prefers skunk kittens to anything else for food, and this man's visions of acquiring wealth by menns of his skunk farm were rudely shattered.

This note was invariably answered by a most abusive letter in almost insulting terms and threatening instant discharge if the offense was ever repeated and inclosing a check for the money! At regular intervals of about three months tbe man invariably made the same request, with tbe same results, always, however, getting a check inclosed. And thus it continued until Mr. Daly's death.

Heart to Heart Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 190S, by Edwin A. Sve WHEN A WOMAN WILLS. Did yoa ever try to make a woman do something she was determined not to do? Did you succeed? Miss Martha Marthitm of San Francisco did not want an electric light pole in front of her home. The company did want it. And this is how Martha, aided by a dozen pairs of stockings and a darning needle, plus a woman's wit, got the better of the company. The big corporation bad sent meu to dig a bole in front of Miss Marthiam's house, but when a dozen employees came the next day they discovered tbe lady seated iu a rocking chair placed directly over the hole. She was busy darning stockings. The foreman politely asked ber to move. Miss Martha did not budge. The foreman tried threats in Tabs. The lady darned stockings, and after awhile a crowd gathered. The crowd jeered the foreman and bis gang and cheered for the plucky little woman. There was a glint in ber eye that kept bands off her rocking chair. Then the foreman telephoned to tbe police. Three bluecoats blustered up, but tbe bluster did not move the slight woman who held the fort. Finally they went away, saying there was no city ordinance that permitted tbe woman's arrest. And there Martha sat. And there tbe gang waited. Officers of the company came to reason it out Miss Marthlam kept on darning (it takes a long time to darn a dozen stockings) until tbe 5 o'clock whistle blew. Then the street gang, union men, left the battlefield In foil retreat. That evening MUs Marthlam bad tbe bole filled up and tbe grasa replaced, and. though week have pawed, the pole has not been planted. "When a woman wills she will, and when she won't she won't" Maybe the feminine diplomacy come as a heritage from tbe woman of tbe atone ago, who had nothing but ber wit to interpose against tbe club of tbe primitive man. Anyway Tbe mere man who tries to beat a woman at ber own game will get left There may be exception. A few women of today, a reversion to type, will allow a man to bally axd beat them and admire him for It but they are scarce ni crowing acai'VW . A little runt of a boy came shyly for ward to greet Mrs. Jones when, tired with her shopping, she sat down on s stool in tbe toweling department Mrs. Jones owned a hotel and was buying supplies. It was the boy's first day at the counter. He bad just been promoted from tbe stock room, where he bad made good. "What is this bolt of toweling worth hotel rates r Tbe stripling's eyes bulged. "I'll have to ask the bead of tbe department This is my first day selling goods. Please excuse me, madam, for just a moment" lie rushed to tbe senior and eagerly made inquiry. "Are you sure she wants a wboie bolt?" said the department bead. "Tell ber I'll be there in a moment and wait on her myself." The boy's face fell, but What was it? Was it something In the disappointed droop of the young salesman? Anyway, when tbe man came forward, briskly rubbing bis hands, Mrs. Jones said: "Excuse me; this boy Is waiting on me. If you will give him prices we shall get along very well." They did get along. And when tbe woman's bill was footed op it came to $90. Ninety dollars! Wouldn't they stare wben.be turned in bis little sales book on bis first day's showing? Tbe sequel?
