 day are causing republicans a lot of worry and many of them
 claim that if they are not sue

 the g. o. D. a few hundred votes at the state election next month. When
 the Grand old Man from Wolcott de-
 clared that with legislation which
 would give due consideration to the
 rights of the working people coal

 other things that enter into. the cost of living would be proportionately cheap, he touched vital spot and as
 a consequence every man who scents danger to the business interests of

Walker Now Wiser.

John H Walker. clerk of the Senate
! Committee on the District of Columbia,
Is the recipient of many congratula-
lions these DAYS. AT nrst they worried
him considerably, as he did not clearly
understand their purpose. People would
call and also write to extend their
heart!est and best wishes for his con-
tinued prosperity and good luck.
He wondered and wondered at the
cause OF so much pow-Wow being made
about him. He inquired of the other
clerks and the messengers Of the com
mittee if they could understand IL. They
also expressed ignorance and We're evil
IDENTIFY as much at sea as he was.
Finally the cat got out. II came as
a second shock. Mr.. Walker had been
touted as a Congressman. He didn't
know how or when the promotion was
made. or TO what body of Congress he
was a member.
Yesterday however. he was advised

QUESTIONS AGITATING
CONGRESSMAN TODAY

he thinks there is q growing sentiment
in favor of disposing of them in some
proper way. This was the explanation
credited to him of the action OF the
Senate Philippines Committee in pigeon
holing the bin for reduction Of the tar
If on products of the islands.
Judge Birdsan of Iowa, who repre-
sents the district once represented by
that sturdy old standpatter, Speaker
Henderson. has introduced a bill pro-
viding for free trade between this coun-
try and the islands after July l, 1906
He believes that If We are 10 keep the
Islands il should be done on this basis;
that if is q moral duty to give them
fair treatment. There is some inttma-
ton, too. that the introduction OF this
bin is In q measure a reply by the
House managers TO the Senate's action
In refusing to report the tarln meas
ure.
But the question Of largest interest
inst now is whether Ii is possible that
the people of the United states may IN
the near future decide that the Philip
pines are not worth the while; that it
would be better TO dispose OF them than
to keep and worry and spend money
over them This discussion has gone
so far as to involve the inquiry whether
there is any power TO whom they could
be disposed of. that would be willing
to pay anything like enough to rein-
burse this country for its expenses in
the archipelago and at the same time
would. in consideration of the deal,
grant any commercial rights worth con-
siderinS. OF course, Japan is at once
thought of as the country entitled 10
first consideration.
The islands. IL is urged, relate more
naturally to Japan than TO any other
power; and Japanese achievements In
Formosa prove that It has the neces-
most of the islands, and TO DO the best
for them

Blackburn's Brother ''Blit1ableiter."

Senator Blackburn Is ever ready to
play a practical joke upon the unwary-
Many opportunities present themselves
for the pleasure of the genial Ken
tuckian in this line and he delights In
gratifying his desire.
The other day a friend Of a stanch
constituent of the Senator called to see
him He had some years ago met Mr.
Blackburn, and. of course. did not feel
any hesitancy in approaching the
colonel in the corridor just outside
the Marble room
How d you do, Senator" he said.
upon approaching. MY name is" He
did not get any further. The senator.
iDterrupting. said;
You apparently have made mis-
take. You want TO see Senator Black
burn. I presume
Yes" answered back the caller. You
are Senator Blackburn. are you not?'
he dueried.
mo. / am his brother. You will find
the Senator in his committee room He
was there when / left. a moment ago.
answered Mr.. Blackburn
The caller turned and walked away
according 10 the directions given. The
Senator exhibited a good-natured smile,
looked at the fellow as he was turning
around a corner Of the corridor. and
remarked: THAT fellow will never
know the difference. and the captain
(meaning his brother) viii convince him
that he really is the Senator.

at THE CAPITOL
Blue Grass State Blossoms Into Poem and
Prose in Defense Ct Some of It's Time
Honored Institutions.

Kentucky. oh, Kentucky, how 1 love
thy classic shades
Where fit the fairy figures of bright
eyed Southern maids;
Where the birds are sweetly singing
mld the flowers newly born.
Where the corn IS full Of kernels and
the Colonels full Of corn"
Senator Hailey's allusion to the
moonshtners Of the mountainous region
Of Kentucky in his fight on the Hey
burn pure food bill some days ago has
aroused the poetical sentiments Of
those who are endeavoring to have
some merriment at the expense Of the
delegation from the Blue Grass State
The above couplet has just MADE
its appearance at the Capitol under H. Z
title, Our Blue Grass Delegation" II
is accompanied by what the author
claims to be an expos. tion Of true Ken
lucky life.
The author in part says:
Man that is born in the mountains
Of Kentucky is Of feud days and full
of virus. He fisheth, fddleth and fight
eth all the days of his life.
He shunDeth water as a mad dog.
and drinketh much good whisky
When ne desireth TO raise hell, he
planteth a neighbor, and 10, he reapeth
twenty-foid.
He riseth even from TIE table TO
seek the scalp or his grandsire's enemy,
and Driugeth home IN his carcass the
ammunition of his neighbor's wffe's
cousins father-in-law, who avenged the
deed
Yea. verify. his life is uncertain,
and he knows not the hour when he
may be jerked hence.
''de goeth forth on a journey half
shot, and cometh back on shutter full
Of shot
He riseth in the night TO let the cat
out and IL taketh nine doctors three
days to pick the buckshot out Of him.
He goeth forth in joy and gladness,
and cometh home in scraps or frag-
ments.
a cyclone bIoweth him into the
bosom OF his neighbOTs wife. and his
neighbours wife's husband bloweth him
into Abraham's bosom before he hath
time to explain.
HE emptieth a demijOhu into him
self and a shotgun into his enemy, and
his eneny's son lieth In wait for him
on election day; and 10. the coroner
pioweth up q forty-acre field TO bury
the remains Of his enemies"

Georgia. Also, he has established for
himself a reputation as a friend Of all
ladies In trouble.
Recently a member Of the House was
looking for him.
Where Is Livingston" he asked i'm
patiently
IF he isn't in the appropriations
room OF on the floor OF the House." re-
piled another member, you'll find him
in the ladies' reception room in Statuary
Hall He's there much Of his time"
It must be said that Mr.. Livingston's
path is not always Strewn with roses
Sometimes the ladies are old, and
sometimes they are ugly. Then there
can always be q surfeit OF attentions.
Close observers claim that there are
tired lines about Mr.. Livingston's eyes.
Being a friend 10 those in distress IS
costly business at the Capitol OF the
United States. It increases in work and
trouble in a sort of geometrical progress
sion.
