Is Taft's Bee Buzzing?

II You Don't, We viii.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
There we're volumes OF truth In the
short but fatherly lecture which John
Sharp Williams administered to
young Mr.. Lands, of Indiana, on the
soor OF the House the other day.
Mr.. Lands may pay little heed to
the warning not longer to follow the
hardened sinners who lead the Re-
publican party, but he cannot get
away from the eternal verities that
were dropped into his ear by the gen
tleman from Mississippi.
"You've got to revise this tariff "
said Mr.. Williams "Ii you don't,
we will"
Mr.. Cannon has already said that
the Republican party has got to re.
wise the tariff. but doesn't want to.
And the standpstters don't mean to.
The Democratic party will.
"You'vegot to pass a bill to admit
Oklahoma and New Mexico TO state
hood without the Arizona.New Mex
leo rider. II you don't, we will"
Truer word has neverspoken. The
Republican leaders have a few weeks
longer in which to make up their
minds to comply with the will OF the
great majority Of the American peo-
pie and admit the Twin Territories.
II they do not obey before adjourn
ment OF this session, the statehood
act will lie passed by a Democratic
Congress. And 1t will make more
than two states OF the four South :
western Territories.
"Your Republican Senate has got
to pass freight.rate bill that will
satisfy the country. Ifyou don't, we
will"
The Republican leaders all seem to
know, as q matter OF intellectual per.
ception, that all these things, and
more, have got to be done, but rebel
against doing them.
The country means that they shall
be done, and the country will have
to call upon the Democratic party to
do them. Wait and see the election
returns OF 1906 and 1908.

This is q period Of iconoclasm.

glare Of revelation. An age whose
mighty achievements are grounded
on confidence finds itself at the apex
OF It's triumph preoccupied In reveal.

ner the issues of the day.
Mr.. Beard was nominated in the first
primary as state senator from his dis
trict, without opposition, and in the
course of his conversation this morn
ing took occasion to refer to the cur
rent report that he was to be a can
didate for president of the senate at
the next session"
Il don't know in what fertile brain
that story originated" said the fav-
orite son of old Escambia with a smile
but l do know that the rumor is alb
solutely without foundation. The
presidency Of our state senate should,
in my judgment, go, not to a new men,
Der, but to one who has already won
his spurs on the floor of the upper
house, and who, by virtue of his ex-
perience and ripened wisdom, is en-
titled to the position"
Who, in your opinion" asked The
Metropolis man, lis the man for the
placer"
Hunt Harris, Of Key West, without
doubt" The reply came without hes
itation, and Mr.. Beard, continuing,
spoke with an earnestness that left no
doubt as to his sincerity.
i know of no man in the state bet
ter qualified to WELD the gavel during
the next session Of the state senate
than W. Hunt Harris. He has experl-
ence, courage, address, and is an &C
compished parliamentaTian. If l re-
member Alright" continued Mr.. Beard,
he first served in the lower house in

1899 he was promoted to the senate,
and his next term will be his third"
1 am for him first. last and all the
time, and you may rest assured con-
cluded the Escambia county senator,
that if Hunt Harris gets no other
vote for president of the senate, he
will get John Boards as long as he is
