While several senators, like Lamar,
have refused to obey instructions, per
haps the only case of any senator who
actually laid down his office rather
than obey, was John Tyler, who after
wards became president. The legis-
lature of Virginia passed resolutions
directing him to vote for Benton's ia
nous resolution to expunge from the
records the criticism of Andrew Jack
son. Tyler said that he had voted
for these. resolutions and that his at
titude toward them had not changed,
and so he could not vote to expunge
them. He did, however, recognize a
certain trust relation toward the legis-
lature Of his state, and accordingly
abandoned the office.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The emphat-

that he would resign his seat in the
Senate rather than carry out instruc-
tons from the legislature Of his state
directing him to vote for the Panama
treaty, Is characteristic. He has on
many occasions exhibited great devo-

I'utte, Mont, Jan. 23.-William A.
Clark, Jr., son Of the Montana senator
and multi-millionaire copper mining
man, was compelled to borrow a g.
cent piece from a sympathizing friend
the other day in order to pay his
fare on street car, tho the young
mans father is the sole owner of the
city railway and the son enjoys the
advantages OF a pass book affording
fifty free rides.
1t is the custom of the street car
company to renew the pass books
upon the presentation Of. the empty
covers, and it was the misfortune of
Mr.. Clark, Jr., to find himself aboard
street car with a depleted pass book
and facing g strange conductor, who,
It appears, had begun work the day
previous and had the orders of the
superintendent still fresh in his
memory.
When q wall seemed inevitable, and
Clark looked despairingly about him,

of those things which is only half under

the popular mind against all individual in
1tiative and personal energy, which has
been the very essence Of American prog

My own impression is confirmed by in
formation from laboringmen that social
ism, in the European sense Of the word,
will never find a firm footing in America.
There is a spirit Of cooperation or COM
munity Of interests which some people
may confound with socialism, that Is
making Roadway with us; but when any
one attempts, for political, or financial rea-
sons, to advocate the whole program of
European socialism, he will find little
prospect Of the seeds taking root in Amer
lean soil.
Fairness and justice win never agree to
the conf1scatton of the products Of one
mans toll In order to insure comfort to
the idle and worthless. The old law Of
compensation is operative now as ever
No ism" Is wanted by the American peo-
pie that will take from any citizen the
just and equitable reward Of his labor.
I believe a single vigorous campaign OF
agitation would quickly show what sup

American people. AS a general rule, the
American people are pretty level headed.

be faltering note in this respect, no
matter what the obstacle, no matter what

right down to the belief that life is a
matter Of mutual interest between labor
and capital; we cannot separate the two
great factors which underlie our develop
