Iiepublieuiis that ure roy-(lrenm- l n g au a n t tins would do well in oome out of tht-ii- Sj1,. 1 trance. Tlie ileum-. cruts siiuul to put it till over t Ik.'iii. Today tlio fount stands 'Jib' ileiuu cruts, 21: 1 republi cans mill six nt li 'crs, most of whom are set down as re publican in their sympathies. That's the. point sympathies. Sympathies are not likely to jro verv uiueli in this mutter. Five of the six may be in their sympathies republi can, to beat the band, and still the democrats may bring home the ba con. What will decide, is power, oppor tunity, the goods, the real thiji!;, and the democrats have both bauds full of these and the republicans have nothing. Even if they could organ ize the bouse they wouldn't have n trick. The democrats have the sen nte and the presidency. According to the ancient rules of the frame, there fore, and the political Hoyle, there would bo nothing doing that the dem ocrats don't want. Tublic Doesn't Cure The odd thine is that to (lie nation it makes no difference, either way. liepublicau house or democratic house the people at large do not care. They are'too wise lo care. Suppose we have a republican bouse. There will be about three bills (unimportant) thai you uiisht call, democratic' party measures and about three (unimportant ) that you int!ht call rontiblicuir party measures. Oifo set will get Ihroiurh the senala and not the house; the other set will ret through the bouse (maybe) and not the senate; and the country will neither know nor care, and every thing will go on just the same. All the important hills appropria tion, defense, finance, national im provement, will go llirnuLih as they would if both houses were ileiuiK-rntie or as they would if the whole shoot ing match were republican. jd'ovei'iied by Ideas I have been keeping tab tin con gress a great many years now and it (seems so long since I have seen a. strictly party vote in either house that it makes me feel old to recall it along with oilier dim scenes of my childhood. The fact is. and it is one of the greatest facts in all oar history anil all our affairs, thi country is not governed by parlies. It is governed by ideas We have no parly aovcriiineiil here and have had in since the fiftieth congress, anyway. In those old days when I used to see. Tom Kced make a iinram by wagiliii" the handle of his gavel and jam every bill through in the teeth of the bitter .'opposition of the demo crats be walked over, thiag were dif ferent. Yiin iiuLihl well have said thill that we had parly government Hut Hint's all deed and gone now. There is now no particular obligation to parly loyalty, no parly responsi bility and very little party fetich wor ship. No Partisan Divisions Here is one more point wherein we differ completely, radically and per manently from conditions in Great Hiitain.' Party feeling in Great lirit ain runs In a denth of bitterness ut terly unknown in this country r.t any time in this "eneratioii. and strange and disastrous things come out of it.

Tom Sharkey, who in former days feared none of tlio good ones in tho prize ring, is today a stage door Jonny. Tom admits it. Ho docsa' care a whoop what anybody thinks about it. He even likes to be kidded about the lie can stay at the door a slonf as he cares lo and even has entree into the mysteries of the stuido where his wifo is engaged. "It's a great business, this movie game," Tom grunted. "I neve thought 1'h care for it well wife, ay afternoon.

Jlrs. Sharkey, whoso screen names it Rita Gardner is 19 and fair to loog upon. Moving picture managers are raving over her unusual good photoplay features. That Is why Tom has become a stage door Jonny. Carl Ilinger, Howard Hal! and his cbauffuer and Mhs Mida Mcintosh, of Rosehurg were here Sunday night for supper, but had to return to Med ford that night. Mrs. P. it.

I have seeti sftch men, with long records of whal might be called violations of narlv fealtv (if -there were any such thing) go home and receive thundering endorse ments from voters classed as repub lican.

RUMANIAMS ARE SILENT UPON RECENT REVERSES LONDON, Dec. S. The Rumanian government still withholds announce ment regarding Hie latest events. The only news available respecting the 'Rumanian situation conies from Rn mania's enemies. Pending further information, the 'London morning papers print second thoughts oa the central powers' suc cesses by the military critics and edi torial writers. The gist of these opln Ions Ik that, while it would bo useless to seek to attenuate the moral ad vantage and considerable accession of useful supplies obtained by tho cen Iral powers, it would be easy to ex aggerate the evil consequences for the entente. Expressions of certain Herman newspapers quoted show that the Informed people of Germany real i.e that their triumph. In Rumania lias very definite limitations. Among those things which, It Is contended here, materially qualify the successes of the central powers Is the fact that liucharest voluntnrll surrendered. The main bulk ot the Rumanian army, so far as is known is intact. Tho losses the Germans uffered front the stubborn resistance of. tho Rumanians, it.is pointed out can 111 bo spared.- HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have bladder trouble Take glass of Salts.
