...Tobey's constant sniffing in the bushes for the Big Bad Roosevelt does not endear him to the Senate, which is a body of men who hate to keep jumping up all the time, and who prefer to take even their own wolf-halloos with plenty of salt, and maybe just a dash of bitters. Last week rancorous, cantankerous Mr. Tobey was out front again for his first real headlines since his passion for picayune causes led him to denounce the U.S. Census last year as regimentation.

His constant subject is the national debt, his constant refrain, "Where are we going to get the money?" For years Mr. Rich has stuck to his point and that question. The House has become so used to Mr. Rich that members often join in the chorus, roaring in unison: "Where are we going to get the money...

By last week the 2,600-foot-deep Ajax mine (formerly workable only with constant pumping) was dry all the way to the bottom. With the water draining from the mines, an estimated $13,000,000 in gold deposits was being uncovered and Cripple Creek was ready for another boom...
