PUBLISHED TRI-WEEKL^ likes Senator McCamber's Opposition to Reciprocity Treaty APPEAR RIDICULOUS How the Blind Senator Took All the Wind Oat of the North Dakota Senator's Sails, Which Was Great ly Enjoyed by President Taft and Others. (One oi the finest pieces of sarcasm In the recent records of Congress went to tie credit of Senator Thos. P. Gore," Oklahoma's blind gonlus, at last Wednesday's session of the Sen ate. ^Jtfr. Gore has been saying very little At the extra session, rarely ris ing except to introduce a bill or to make a brief inquiry. "At the close of a long and lugubrious speech by Senator Cumber, of North Dakota, Wednesday, in opposition to the Can adian reciprocity bill, however, Mr. Gore gave a brilliant display of his gifts as a speaker. While Mr. McCumber .vas wiping from his fevered brow the perspira tion remitting from his terrific as sault on reciprocity as a menace to the prosperity of our farming in terests, /Senator Gore arose and in his clea.r voice, clean-cut enunciation and faultless infection, without hes itating a moment for the right word, and also without even the semblance of a smile, asked to have printed in the Record a speech recently de livered in the Canadian 'Parliament by one, Mr. Sexsmlth, predicting for Canada, as a result of the recipro city treaty, not only agricultural de cline and industrial suffering, but complete national disintegration. In explaining his request that the Sexsmito. speech . should be printed, Senator Gore delivered this little masterpiece, over which nobody has chucklsd with more delight than the President of the United States: "According to the prophetic vision, according to the argument conclusive and unanswerable argument, of Mr. Sexsmlth and the Senator from North Dakota, the fair and fruitful fields of the Dominion and .of this Republic are destined soon to become a wel tering waste of wreck and ruin. "Mr. President, the section of this Union now designated as, Arizona and New Mexico was once peopled by a prosperous and enlightened race now known as the Cliff Dwellers. The ruins of their former prosperity still taark the desolate mountain sides of that distant region. They were brought to an untimely end through some unaccountable cata clysm of nature. The remains of those people are still found with their hands elapsed upon their mouths as if protecting themselves against the noxious fumes and ex halations from a quaking and dis tracted earth. "Mr. President, when ruin comes again upon the people of this coun try, shared by our neighbors to the northward, it will not be through poisoning the air that they breathe. Sir, it will be through a removal of the tax upon the bread that they eat, a removal of the tax upon the whea: and cattle which thty import from the Dominion of Canada, and our neighbors will suffer a similar catastrophe from the removal of the tax on the wheat and on the cattle which they import from the United States I repeat, sir, not from too UVtkt breath, ,but from too much breiid. "Some may marvel that such re sult should flow from this Canadian agreement, but I suppose the fact that it is to precipitate disaster upon both the countries results from that ancient and established canon of philosophy that like causes produce like effects, and it would be unfair! for this agreement to precipitate chaos and ruin in the United States without precipitating a similar fate upon the inhabitants of Canada. "I wish to print this speech, so thai: when these two lands now fair, fruitful and prosperous, shall be come a weltering waste; when the traveller of the future impelled by curiosity, shall wander through this land, now prosperous, then desolate, shall find deposited in the corner stone of that mausoleum in which our hopes, opr prosperity and our destiny are entombed the speech of the Senator from North Dakota, ac companied by the speech of Mr. Sex smith, of the Canadian Parliament, accounting for the catastrophe which overwhelmed this matchless Republic and splendid Dominon toward the Northrn Star. He Was Strung Up. Wtq. Bradford, a negro of Annap olitta. Miss., was hanged by a mob near the lawn of Sussky Mitchell, a farmer of this section. Bradford was enroute to jail in the custody of a sheriff when the lynching party nrade its appearance, and after some ar.rument took the negro. He was charged with attempted assault on a white woman of that county Bolt Kills Boy and Mule. Dick Tisdale, a negro boy about 16 years of age, was killed Monday af ternoon by a stroke of lightning while ploughing in Shannontown, a suburb situated south of Sumter.

REVOLT BECOMES OPEN Republican Senators Prom the North western States Declare that the Reciprocity Bill Is a Blow at the ? Keystone of Protection and Un fair to the Farmers. Republican opposition to the Can adian reciprocity bill in the senate reached the stage of open revolt Mon day. Led by Senator Dixort of Mon tana, who again failed in his demand for an explanation or a speech'in favor of the bill from some of the Republican leaders who champion the measure, the Republican opponents declared that if the bill passed, many Republicans would join the Demo crats in an attempt to lower the du ties on all unmanufactured products. "When the cornerstone is pulled out of the Eystem of protective tar iff," said Senator Dixson, "when the farmers' products are thrown1 into a' free-market while his purchases con~ tinue to be protected, there are many good protectionists in the Republican ranks here who will vote to have the duties pulled down on iron and steel, chemicals, cotton and many other things." Other Northwestern Republicans signaled their approval o fthe Mon tana senator's words that the pas sage of the reciprocity bill, which It is admitted will have a majority of the votes in the senate, will be attended with a fight that threatens to throw open the whole tariff sub ject "We want to make one killing," declared Senator Crawford of South Dakota. "We find the senators from Pennsylvania, New York, Connecti cut, Massachusetts and Maine, States that have always reaped -:he greatest harvest of protection, advocating this free list every single aiticle raised In the Northwest. I want-to push this matter In its entirety. If Penn sylvania, Misssissippi and Massachu setts have joined hands in a new political propaganda, it is time for the rest of the country to strike ont on a new tack." . ."If you can get enough senators on that side with you," returned Sena tor Bailey, of Texas, "we win take one of these bills now coming over from the house and make a whole new tariff law out of it.'' Senator Bailey declared there would he no adjournment until the senate had acted upon the free list bill. Reciprocity came before the senate with the Root amendment, affecting the importation of pulp wood and paper from Canada, as the matter for imrnediaae consideration. This amendment was again laid aside be cause of Senator Root's absence. Later he came into the chamber, but said he would not be ready to discuss the amendment until Wednesday. Opponents of the bill, including Messrs. Bailey, Dixon, Cummins and Smith of Jflicbigan, then demanded an explanation or speech from some one in favor of the measure. Several senators said they would not speak against the bill until they had heard some word in Its support. Senator Root made a brief expla nation of the reason for offering his amendment, which requires Canadian provinces to remove export restric tions before pulp wood and paper are admitted free. References to President Taft's speeches in favor of reciprocity and his criticism of the Root amendment were met by Senator Root with the statement that he would not discuss newspaper quotations. Senator Bailey declared he pro posed to discuss them; that if the president could criticise legislation and attempt to influenae the senate in open speeches, the senate should feel free to discuss and criticise the president. Senator Williams of Mississippi in sisted that President Taft is not open to critcism for his efforts to secure thy passage of the Canadian recipro city bill. In a direct attack upon the Root amendment Senator Williams con tended that if it were adopted, no Canadian paper and wool pulp would come into the United State free of duty until all Canadian provinces had removed their export restrictions and that the influence of the "paper trust" would result in preventing Its ever coming in free. "Those who would continue the present grip of the International Pa per company will vote for the amend ment," he said with much intensity, "while those who wish to remove that strangling hold will vote against it."
