Mr.. Wilson was asked about the pros

Illinois being the stronghold of the

that state have been appealed to to do
something in the interest OF their con-

receiving many communications on the

will be the attitude OF the Republicans
toward whatever the Democrats may
propose. Whether the Republicans Will
co-operate with the Democrats In
remedial Legislation becomes an open
question, since it is known that the
Democrats are not agreed upon their
course, a faction of them thinking with
mr.. Whiting, that any legislation Will
be unwlse.
Mr.. Cannon said the affirmative or
negative votes of the Republicans might
hinge upon whether In their estimation
the supplementary act proposed would
entail greater disadvantages than the
existing sugar schedule and particu-
larly whether 1t would reduce the
revenue of the government which was
now insufficient to meet its expenses.

WHY MILLS pAs ENEMIES.
A Fad He Practices, with IA Sour
TEMPER.


Washington, Jan. mo one here is
surprised at the news from Texas con-
cerning the disgust OF the Democrats
there with the conduct of their United
States senator. Roger Q. Mills. Mr..
Mills is unique among statesmen in
this sUoltol. He believes 1t to be his
duty In the senate TO speak and vote
according to his own convictions, who'll
ly irrespective of the wishes or interests
OF his state Mr.. Mills not only believes
this, but has the courage TO practice
what he breaches. The strange thing
about 1t is he has always pursued the
same policy. While a member of the
house he apparently signed his own
political death warrant by advocating
free wool, yet he was reelected as long
as he liked. In the senate he Is follow
ing out his idea that member of con-
gress Is not an echo of the desires or
views OF his constituents, but an eX-
FOUNDER Of certain principles Of govern
ment and political economy, and that
when local or state interest clashes with
his conception of these principles 1t ia
the Interest and not the principle that
must give way. Practically all OF the
remaining four hundred and odd sena-
tors and representatives move along n
different line. Their first anxiety is to
know what their people at home want,
and this ascertained. no such trihlng
matters as convictions or principles
bother them In the least Mills has car
ried his fad to such an extreme and
has been personally so grabbed and dis
agreeable about It that no one wonders
at the fierce opposition TO him on the
part of some of the Texas Democrats.
1t In an interesting experiment in poll
tics that Mr.. Mills IS making. that of
whether a public man can maintain
himself on the platform which he occu-
