ASSAILS THE TARIFF

• Good Woman.’
The Insurgent Leader of the Senate
President Taft, Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Cannon for
ffcults of the Party. ITsseatUUy
a Challenge to the Administration.
Prom the lips of Senator Dilliver,
of lows, the battle cry of the ■'In
surgent'* Republicans was sounded
on the floor of the Senate the other
day. In a speech which bristled with
defiance to President Taft. Senator
Aklrfch, Speaker Cannon and all the
other champions of the inroads of
predatory wealth, the great Western
lawmaker sounded the call for a
new Republican crusade against fake
tari* revision,, against the greed and
oppression of monopoly and against
the false leaders of the party to
which Abraham Lincoln, its founder,
gave his heart and soul and finally
his life. Not in years has there been
a speech of such power and eloquence
on either floor of Congress and dur
ing the three hours which the thun
dering Iowan held the floor, the
dumbfounded regulars sat cowering
in their places, scarcely one of them
leaving the Senate chamber.
“Last year witnessed two lmpo r -
tant bosses perpetuated on the
American,people," said Dolllver, “the
discovery of the North Pole by Dr.
Cook and the revision of the tarifl
downward by Senator Aldrich.’'
This was the starting point of hif
attack on the Republican “stand
patters” and be kept at it vigorously
from beginning to end. Dolll&r de
dared that he spoke as a Republican,
as s guarlan of the Republican faith
and he defld his enemies to drivt
him and thoae who stood with hit
from the party. The speech was an
open and ringing declaration of wa<
on the dominance of commercialism
in politics ad public life.
R was essentially a challenge V
the Administration, the Aldrich am
to Cannon, to a fight to the death
In his denunciation of the humbuf
and false pretense of the Paye-Al
drlch revision of the tariff, the Wes
tern senator went further than ii-
any of his previous attacks on tha
measure. He hurled defiance, min
gled with scorn, st the President,
telling him he would welcome deliv
erance from the yoke of patronage
and taunting him with the utter in
consistences of his various speeches
oo the tariff and other subjects. He
also referred with withering scorr
to the attacks of Speaker Cannon or
tke prtrgressivea and the insurgents
In closing he solemnly devoted him
■elf to the fight against monopob
and tariff.
In concluding B-’nator Dollivei
■aid: “I propose to tell not only wha
has gone on in Congress last yea'
In connection with the tariff, but als
what Is now going on to preven
members following their own dictate;
of coscience. I am through wltl
tariff revision as accomplished b>
those Interests to which It primarily
belongs. I shall stand on the floo;
of Congress and fight it just as lony
as Iowa returns me to Washington
and I shall do it as a Republican. 1
don't care for my political fate. 1
have tolled for the public 25 yean
and I do not propose that my re
maintng years shall be given up tr
a dull cons- nt to these conspiracle;
which would rob the people to mui
tlply private wealth. This Is a gov
ernment of the many and for th<
many, not of the few and for th'
few.”
Fear that he wou>1 be iyochoO
drove Dr. W. J. McNaughtoa from
Emanuel County, Georgia, to Augus
ta, where he was placed uiidac Af
reet charged with the murder of Fel
Flander, of that county. This, state
ment was made Thursday by the
accused physician, as handcuffed he
was.brought to the Chatham county
jail at Savannah, for safe keeping un
til time for his trial at Swainaboro,
Ga.
"I am not guilty of killing Fed
Flanders,” he said. “Mrs. Flan
ders Is a good woman, and I am
not to blame for anythlngthey charge
me with.”
He refused to go in details
about his relationship with the
Flanders family, but it is stipulated
that he will not be taken back to
Swains boro until his trial comes off.
He is a large man and apparently
regards his imprisonment coolly. He
surprised the officers who had him
in charge by taking hia wrists from
the handcuffs here and Informed the
officer that the cuffs “were not worth
cent.”
Before bringing the prisoner to
Savannah Sheriff Fields telephoned
Swainaboro that he wag being taken
fhicre, in order to avoid any trouble
between Augusta and Savannah.
HUNG BY HU* TEETH.
Carnival Performer In Deadly Peril
Over Niagara's Gorge.
The first international carnival a*
Niagara Falls came near producing
another tragedy In the gorge belov
the falls. Oscar Williams, a steeple
jack, essayed a trip across the gorge
in a wire hung at the base of the cat
aract, sustaining hia weight by his
teeth. Trouble began w4ien he left
the American side and when h<
started up the incline toward the Ca
nadian shore he came to a stop and
swung back to the middle of the
vire, which cleared the water by 12.
feet. There he hung for *5 minute:
~>t until firemen rigged up a pullej
\nd sent It out. Hand over hand th<
man descended to the Maid of th<
Mist, which had taken Its position
under him. During the day an un
identified man jumped into the rap
Ida above Luna falls and waa swept
over the falls. Luna falls never gives
up her dead.
MIMHTER’S NOSE PUNCHED.
He Called a .Man a Liar and Got th*
Worse of aa Argument.
“If a minister says you are a liar
ounch him on the nose,” was the
vdvice that Municipal Judge Gem
mill, of Chicago, III., gave to Mlchae
Weiss and then discharged the prls
’ner who had been arrested on i
-barge of disturbing an open al-
eligious nretlng. The Rev. Perr
ilm, his problscis swollen and ren
appeared as the prosecutor and com
dalned that Weiss had crowded hii
'ace with fists while the evangells
vas exerting him to lead a bettei
life.
“He called me a liar,” pleadec
Weiss.
“Any preacher that calls a man i
>tar isn't fit to preach the Gospel,
uled the court. “He did Just right

s discharged.”

Practically Admitted that Repabtt-
cans are Thoronghly Routed.—
Dominant Party not Expected to
Make Gains ta the South. May
Lose.
A Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says as the
predeot session of Congress nears
Its end there are better evidences
day by day that the Republicans all
over the country are thoroughly
routed. _ There is not a better view
point in the world for political pur
poses than the national Capital, and
from this place now one may get a
fairly accurate view of the situation
as it will appear when the next ses
sion of Congress is called to order in
December. Will the Democrats havj
a majority in the House, if so. what
will this majority be, and where will
it come from?
Taking the Southern States first
there has been a change for the bet
ter during the last two months. Not
long ago it was believed by eome that
there might be Democratic loss in
North Carolina, which already has
three Republicans in the House,
where it ought not to have any; that
Virginia would send two Republicans
whene they have one now and that
Maryland would further inerdase her
Republican majority in the House
because of local Issues in that State.
North Carolina will not increase
her Republicans; Virginia may lose
tUe one Republican she now has,
because of the fact that an aggres
sive fighter, Henry C. Staurt. is run
ning against Slemp, and is knock
ing the Slemp machine into bits on
every stump In the Old Dominion,
the older Slemp, father of the pres
ent Representative from the Ninth
Virginia district, was a good Con
federate soldier and did valiant ser
vice to his State during the war.
The he joined the Mohane forces
and went to the bad politically, but
managed to stay in Congress until
he died. Then his son followed him
In Maryland the aitnatlon Is
brightening up for the Democrats,
and it Is now said that the three
Republicans may be reduced to one
So much for the Southern States. The
others are all right, and If the cen
sus Just taken gives them more re
presentation ttte Democratic major
ity in the House hereafter will be
still larger.
Congressman Garner, of Texas, as
sistant “whip” of the Democrats is
feeling cWeerful because we believe
that w« will win a great victory in
the congressional elections this fall,
On the other hand the Republicans
are up In the air. For the first time
in many years the Democrats In the
House are united, while the Repub
licans are split into warring factions,
which appear to be irreconciliable.
The pnoapect of victory has a len
iency to cement the Democrats to
gether, while the proapect of defeat
seems to irritate th Republicans.
Speaker Cannon's recent declaration
that shooting was too good for th-'
insurgents and that they ought
to suffer the ignominious death of
hanging, was not exactly like injur
ing oil on the troubled waters.
“Naturally, as the Democrats feel
certain of electing the House, there
has been much talk about who will
lie Speaker. There la no doubt that
a very large majority of the present
Democratic members, at least 90 per
cent, of them, are for Champ Clark.
The chauocs are that his name will
be the only one presented to the
caucus. The country expects him to
be elected if the Democrats have a
majority In the next House.
Occasionally the Republicans start
a story on its rounds that there is
much opposition to him, and that
the Democrats are badly split up
on the Speakership question. Demo-
drats have too muuh sense to pay
much attention to these Republican
fables of opposition to Mr. Clark.
He has worked hard to unite the
Democrats and has led them to sev
eral victories, though the Republi
cans had forty-seven majority at the
beginning of this Congress and itUl
have forty-three majority, and be
lieve he ought to be rewarded with
the Speakership/’- - -
Anyone who will take the trouble
to scan the pages of the Congression
al Record from day to day will find
that it is full, p acked, in fact, bulg
ing from cover to cover, with cam
paign speeches. While it is true that
the Democrats are taking about as
much of this space as their Republi
can brethren, thkre is a difference in
the matter presented and In the
voice .of expression. One is the Dem
ocratic member pounding th elite out
of the Republican across the cham
ber for putting the present tariff on
the people; R ie full of optimum,
hope and*4bod cheer. What U the
other? A wall of despair and a fran
tic appeal to stand by the party.
5 As usual, the Republicans are go
ing to get everything there is to be
had and hit while the iron’s hot.
thsss speeches will not stop when
Congress adjourns. For ten days ni
ter the gavels In the Senate and
House have (alien (or the lest tine
this session, and only Janitors and
eartakers are found la the pieces of
Jane 2B Set (or Adjournment.
Congress is expected to adjourn
on June 25, according to plans
made public by Senate leaders, af
ter consultations witli HOuse leaders,
a careful canvass of both branches,
and a revision of the Benato t legis
lative program. The plana perfect
ed are as follows:
After remaining on the senate cal
endar for almost three months In a
state of uncertainty as to IU fate,
the bill providing for the admission
of the territories of New Mexico and
Arisons to separate Statehood waa
taken up by the senate Thursday and
passed after a debate consuming lit
tle more than two hours.
The measure was called up by
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the
committee on territoriM, and was
passed after speeches by Senators
Beveridge, Frasier, Neiaon, Hughes
and Smoot. All the speeches were
favorable to the creation of the two
States, but the Democrats favored
th# house bill.
(When the vote was reached there
was a division on the senate substi
tute for the house bill, but with that
■xmendment accepted, the senate
xoted aolklly for the passage of the
bill.
The senate substitute was adopted
as an amendment to the house bill
by a strictly party vote, the vote
standing 42 to 19.
As passed the bill would provide
for the admission of the two terri
tories as States, but not until after
a constitution had been adopted by
each of them, approved by the pres
ident, and ratified by congress.
The artlon of the Senate in adopt
ing the bill for the issuance of certi-
(VcattPs of indebtedness to fnrniah
money to complete reclamation pro
jects as an amendment to the lend
witdrawa! bill, caused Western Sen
ators to express fear that it might
encounter obstacles in conference.
This fear waa based upon statement*
that the House was opposed to the
reclamation measure.

Stirred to action by insistent pro

nesday took atteps to prevent the
chacplonshlp fight between James
J. Jefflrles and Jack Johnson, sched
uled to be held in San Francisco on
July 4.
In a letter to Attorney General U.
S. Webb, the governor expressed hia
disproval of prise fighting in un

aid of the courts be Invoked to pre
vent the match. He concluded with
a positive order that, in case the
plea for a restraining order be not

attorney general proved to gather

The governor declares that the su

While gettin* a shave In Mhneie,
