ure while personally being the bitter
est enemy President Roosevelt has in
congress. The senator has accepted
the responsibility and proposes to
show friends and foes alike that he
can rise to the occasion and conduct
himself calmly and conservatively. He
has declared that If anyone expects to
see him make clown of himself on
the floor of the senate that person will
be very much disappointed.
It is absolutely amusing to see this
fre-eating senator from South Caro-
lima visiting the Republican side, get
ting counsel and advice as to how he
shall conduct the fight for this great
economic measure. 1t is funny to see
him in consultation with Senator DOL
liver, of Iowa, who is Republican of
the deepest dye and as opposite to
Tillman in his views, of government
and legislation as could be found. Mr.
Dolliyer had expected to have been put
In charge of the rate bill himself, but
was the victim of parliamentary
play in the committee on interstate
commerce which resulted in Mr.. Till
man being instructed to report the bill.
As a result of circumstances Mr..
Ttllman has this winter come into
more prominence than any other man
In congress. He added to his notoriety
by making one of the most bitter at
taGks on President Roosevelt that has
ever been heard in the senate. He at
tackled the presidents policies and
sneered at his personality and yet to-
day he is the champion of Mr.. Roose-
velt's principal policy, that of regu-
lating freight rates. Then Mr.. Till
man gained additional notoriety by
his joint resolution calling for an in
vestigation of the coal and oil carry
ing railroads and on top of all this he
is put in the limelight by having
charge of railway rate legislation in
the senate.

Not counting the appropriation bills,
which involve the distribution of
something like $700,o00,OO0, there
have been introduced in the present
national house of representatives
about $4,000 measures. There are 1856
votes In the house. If the yeas and
nays were to be called on all these
bills 1t would require, to vote upon
them. more than three years, working
ten hours a day, and excepting Sun
days. OF course, the yeas and nays
are not called on all bills in congress.

dence of rupture. Senator Knox, of
Pennsylvania, is one Of those who has
been represented as breaking with the
president, but he expresses the views
of himself and other senator's on this
point when he, says: :''The talk Of my
breaking with the president is all rot.
We may differ as to some of the de-
tails of a rate bill, but during the past
five years I have frequently differed
with him and there never was any
thought of a rupture. The president
and his friends are not so far apart on
the %rate question as might. be sup
posed" -
. Senator Knox seems bound to take
prominent place in the consideration
OF the railway rate bill as he is looked
up to by every lawyer in the senate as
q man most thoroughly capable of
passing upon constitutional points and
the latter seems to be really the only
source OF controversy in the rate oues-
ton. Mr.. Knox is as popular on TIL.

hcan colleagues andit is daily sight

BOYS TERRIRLE EczEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crdsts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
Ious Cure by cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and I had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided Improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. HOhrath, Presi-
