land in his second term, has already
found several cases in which he is
confronted by "a condition and not a
theory" and some of the conditions
have come into violent collision with
each other.
one of them is a deficit in the
treasury. Another is the presidents
desire for a rapidly growing navy, to
cost $114.OOO.OOO next year. A third
is the desire of congressman for eX-
pensive improvements that will gain
them votes in their districts. A fourth
is the popular demand for tariff re-
vision, seconded by the need for more
revenues. the duties being now in
many cases far above the revenue
producing point A fifth is the de-
termination of the chief protected in
terests not to permit any revision
that would lessen their profits, A
sixth is the anxiety of the president
and the public for legislation regu-
lating trusts and railroad rates. A
seventh is the repugnance of the fl
nancial elements so potent in the re-
publican organization to hny effective
legislation of that character.
In an effort to reconcile some of
these irreconcilabilities, the president
called a conference of the leaders of
both houses at the White House re-
Gently. Four senator's and five rep
resentatives attended. but it was inn
possible to secure a general agree
ment on any of the points in dispute.
A strong sentiment developed in IA
vor of cutting down the presidents
naval program. On the question of
tariff revision opinions were almost
evenly divided. The one definite re-
suit of the discussion was an under
standing that the republican members
of the ways and means committee of
the house with the help of other re-
publican leaders. should study the
tariff question during the spring and
summer and try to agree upon a
measure to be presented to congress
at an extra session in the autumn.

When Tom Watson writes he i'll

lumines the theme. His work is never
the product of a tired pen, prodded
or coaxed into innocuous strenuosity.
Tom Watson vitalizes everything he
touches. He is no electric eel, nor
yet an ink-fish; he is dynamo of
intelligent power.
The quality of this inert, obese
thing, Popular Majority, is well re-
vealed in that Tom Watson's own dis
trict and own town showed him under
and refused to allow him to represent
them at Washington. This was well
Tom never represented their punk
ship-how could he? Here is a man
whose fiery soul would reflect glory
on any constituency, and lift them
into the light of Immortality. To live
in his district would be an honor
Georgia didn't want the satisfaction
of sending to congress the biggest
and best man in Washington-no
they wanted to be represented by an
unobjectionable nobody-a PiouS

sented by Tom Watson-Tom could
