I SOME HOT TALK
i Division n Recpracitj Ma; Caste Split
in Republican Parly.
REVOLT BECOMES OPEN
Republican Senators From the Northwestern
States Declare that the
Reciprocity BUI Is a Blow at the
Keystone of Protection and Unfair
to the Farmers.
'Republican opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity bill in the senate
reached the stage of open revolt Monday.
Led by Senator Dixon of Montana,
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 Democrats
in an attempt to lower the duties
on all unmanufactured products.
"When the cornerstone is pulled
out of the system of protective tariff,"
said Senator Dixson, "when the
farmers' products are thrown into a
free market while his purchases continue
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 Montana
senator's words that the passage
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 subject
"We want to make one killing,"
declared Senator Crawford of South
Dakota. "We find the senators from
Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Maine, States
that have always reaped the greatest
harvest of protection, advocating this
free list every single article raised
in the Northwest. I want to push
this matter in its entirety. If Pennsylvania,
Misssissippi and Massachusetts
have joined hands in a new
political* propaganda, it is time for
the rest of the country to strike out
on a new tack."
"If you can get enough senators on
that side with you," returned Sena
tor Bailey, of Texas, "we will take
one of these bills now coming over
from the house and make a whole
new tarifT law out of it.*'
Senator Bailey declared there
would be no adjournment until the
senate had acted upon the free list
. hill.
Reciprocity came before the senate
with the Root amendment, affecting
the importation of pulp wood and
paper from Canada, as the matter
for immedlaae consideration. This
amendrae?it was again laid aside because
of Senator Root's absence.
Dater 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 Michigan, then demanded
an explanation or speech from some
one in favor of the measure. Several
?f?nAt.ors said thev 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 require? Canadian
provinces to remove export restrictions
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 dincuss
newspaper quotations.
Senator Bailey declared he proposed
to discuss them; that if the
president could criticise legislation
and attempt to influence the senate
in open speeches, the senate should
feel free to discuss and criticise the
president.
Senator Williams of Mississippi insisted
that President Taft is not open
to critclsm for his efforts to secure
the passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill.
In a direct attack upon the Root
amendment Senator Williams contended
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 Paper
company will vote for the amendment,"
he said with much intensity,
"while those who wish to remove that
strangling hold will vote against It."
Put Out His Ryes.
At Atlantic City, N. J., Harry
Adams, a wealthy bath house owner,

lightning' reflected in a mirror.'

THAT SLUSH FUND
THE ILLINOIS SOLONS KNOW
ABOUT JACKPOTS.
Hopkins, Defeated by Lorimer, Says
Corruption Funds is a Tradition of
Illinois Politics..
"Jackpots" or corruption funds in
tbo Illinois legislature constitute
"one of the traditions of politics in
Illinois," according to the testimony
of Former Senator Albert J. Hopkins
Friday before the Lorimer inveetigating
committee of the Senate, at
Washington. Senator Lorimer succeeded
Mr. Hopkins. Whether any
of the "jackpot" funds or other corruption
funds had been used to defeat
him for senator he was unable
to tell the committee of his own
knowledge.
The only other witness of the day
was Edgar A. Bancroft, general counsel
for the International Harvester
company. His testimony was to the
effect that Clarence S. Funk, general
manager of the company, had told
him of an alleged attempt of "Mr.
Hiries" or "Edward Hines" to raise
money to meet the expenses of electing
Lorimer.
Mr. Hopkins declined to answer
specific questions as to whether he
suspected Lorimer was using corrupt
methods to defeat him,or as to whether
or not he believed certain members
of the Legislature had been
bought.
Mr. Hanrey, counsel for Mr. Lorimer.
protested against the witness
leaving the stand without expressing
an opinion on the rumor that the 5 3
Democrats who voted for Lorimer on
the last ballot received money.
"It leaves a cloud on those men,"
insisted the counsel. The Committee
did not require the witness to answer
as to personal relation between the
witness and Senator Lorimer. Mr.
Hopkins said Mr. Lorimer had told
him he would oppose his candidacy.
Mr. Bancroft, in relating what Mr.
Funk had told him, said that he was
told Mr. Hines had asked to contribute
for the company $10,000 to
meet the expenses of Senator Lorimer's
election.
Mr. Bancroft told of Mr. Funk asking
his advice as to whether he
should make public the alleged request.
This was during the consideration
of the Lorimer case by the
senate.
Members of the company asked the
attorney if he did not consider his
own duty to have been to notify the
first Lorimer investigating committee
of thia matter.
Mr. Bancroft replied that at the
time he did not consider the matter
to be so important as it is now regarded
and therefore not important
enough to justify an attack on the
company. Judge Hynes asked who
was expected to make this attack and
the witness replied that Lorimer and
his friends were feared because they
"'were in conflict with those who opposed
them." *

DHOUGTH IS IIROKEX.
Tlio Crops Will Be Greatly Beneflttea
in the South.
According to the weather bureau
rainfall has been general in the last
few days over almost the entire cotton
bolt. The South Atlantic States,
east and middle Gulf States and
southeastern Texas reported good
showers. Only in occasional spots
in the territory named does the long
drought still prevail. Much of this
section had been without rai nfor a
month and the precipitation or ine
past three days has been worth perhaps
millions of dollars to Southern
farmers. Some parts of South Carolina
still need rain. *.
Will Establish n Rank.
The Bank of Eutawville has been
commissioned with capital stock of
$25,000. The bank was commissioned
last fall with B. A. Hagood ana
Wilson G. Harvey as tho petitioners,
but a letter received at the office of
the Secretary of State asks that the
transfer of petition bo made to E.
M. Pringle and Hyman Pearlstine,
of Charleston. This was done ana
the new commission is issued.
Negroes Were Attacked.
The strike in New York among the
steamboat and railroad men still continues.
A score of negro strike
breakers escorted by police were attacked
on West street Tuesday by a
crowd of 500 strikers and sympathizers.
Stones were thrown and the negroes
fled Police reserves repulsed
the crowd and several arrests were
made.
Fatal Political Fight.
As a result of a quarrel over polltics
Monday afternoon In Charleston,
Hugh Hartnett shot Frank Leonard
three times. The men belonged to
opposing political sides. Leonard Is
not seriously injured, the wounds being
reported to only be painful. It
Is the first shooting scrape of the

the transfusion into her veins of a
quart of her husband's blood was
I pronounced to be out of danger.
GORE'S SARCASM
Mikes Senitsr McCumWs Oppesitiea
It Reciprocity Treaty
APPEAR RIDICULOUS
How the Blind Senator Took All the
Wind Out of the North Dakota
Senator's Sails, Which Was Great>
ly Enjoyed by I*resident Taft and
Others.
One of the finest pieces of sarcasm
in the recent records of Congress
went to the credit of Senator Thos.
P. Gore, Oklahoma's blind genius, at
last Wednesday's session of the Senate.
Mr. Gore has been saying very
little at the extra session, rarely rising
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 Canadian
reciprocity bill, however, Mr.
Gore gave a brilliant display of his
gifts as a speaker.
While Mr. McCumber was wiping
from his fevered brow the perspiration
resulting from his terrific assault
on reciprocity as a menace to
the prosperity of our farming in
terests, Senator Gore arose and in
his clear voice, clean-cut enunciation
and faultless infection, without hesitating
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 delivered
in the Canadian Parliament
by one, Mr. Sexsmith. predicting for
Canada, as a result of the reciprocity
treaty, not only agricultural decline
and industrial suffering, but
complete national disintegration.
In explaining his request that the
Sexsmith speech should be printed,
Senator Gore delivered this little
masterpiece, over which nobody has
chuckled with more delight than the
President of the United States:
"According to the prophetic vision,
aorordinir to the argument conclusive
and unanswerable argument of Mr.
Sexsmith and the Senator from North
Dakota, the fair and fruitful fields of
the Dominion and of this Republic
are destined soon to become a weltering
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 mark 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 e\
halations from a quaking and distracted
earth.
"Mr. President, when ruin comes
again upon the people of this country,
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
wheat 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
little breath, .but from too much
bread.
''iQ./vtyhs mnv ninrvpl thnt snr?h rp
suits 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 ofphilosophy
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
that when these two lands now fair,
fruitful and prosperous, shall become
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 cornerstone
of that mausoleum in which
our hopes, opr prosperity and our
destiny are entombed tho speech of
the Senator from North Dakota, accompanied
by tho speech of Mr. Sexsmith,
of the Canadian Parliament,
accounting for the catastrophe which
overwhelmed this matchless Republic
and splendid Dominon toward the
Northrn Star.
