Quits With Alacrity.
Mr. President I love a brave man

Senator Bailey, In Sharp Colloquy With

and Man of Clay"

The last day OF the Senate's discus
Ion OF the rate bul-for il was generally
considered this morning that the meas
ure would pass some time today
brought with II an exceedingly candid
discussion from both sides Of the cham
Der of the relations OF the President
10 this legislation.
Senator Carter OF Montana. in his
capacity as first friend Of the Presi-
dent. started the oratoricaI fireworks
with a vigorous speech defending the
Allison amendment and the President
who agreed TO II. He denied that the
President had changed front, and claim
ed for his party's chief a record Of cOUr-
age unmatched. certainly uneXcelIed-

whether they We're entitled to pose as
critics Of the President
The ebullition to which the Senate
has just been treated" began Senator
Bailey in response to Senator Carter,
lis due entirely TO the -act that the
Senator from Maryland. Mr. Rayner. in
his remarks yesterday entirely forgot
to mention the Senator from Montana,
bassadors OF the President mere.
1.-The Senator from Montana charges
that I have assailed the President on
the ground that he has changed his po-
sition on the question OF the breadth
of The court review.
What He Really Charged
"The Senator from Montana is mis-
taken. I merely charged that the Pres
ident has changed his position on the
question OF the suspension of the rates
by the courts and that he has abandon
ed his original demand for the fixing OF
an absolute rate by the commission. and
taken up the proposition Of merely en-
pOweriag it to fix a maximum rate.
When the Senator from Montana lee
lures other gentlemen for misrepresent-
ing. he should be careful that he him
self INDUCES IL no Misrepresentation.
The Senator from Montana has told
rs that the President save a splendid
exhibition Of courage in defying the
consolidated railroad power of the
country In the face OF the Presidential
election. in which he was a candidate.
Does not the Senator from Montana
know that until after the election of
1904 no word was written in his meSS3g ges
or in his letter Of acceptance raising
this issue. 1t was only after the cleo
tion Of 1904 that he issued his challenge
of mortal combat with the railroad
power
II have refrained heretofore from US

of attack or criticism and I have per-
sonally borne much during this discus

cause discussion among the friends of

Curran, the famous orator and
wit, never hesitated to sacrifice his
friends for the sake of a joke. On
one occasion the Merchant Tailors'
guild of Dublin gave banquet, to
which he was invited-in fact, he
was the guest of honor. He kept
his hosts amused all evening. There
were just eighteen Of his entertain
ers, and when Curran took his leave
he waited till he reached the door,
then with a smile and bow said,
And now, gentlemen, | have the
honor of saying good night to both
of YOU" He made his escape before
the eighteen tailors realized the
joke, and then it was too late to
catch him.

Funny stories, Furthermore, are
usually based on something which

admirable is the calm philosophy Of

Ashamed to Take the Money

For awhile after little Clayton
was sent to the kindergarten he re-
ceived frequent merit cards. Every
time he brought home a reward to-
ken his mother and father and aunt
and his grandfather and uncle gave
him penny. Soon the virtuous life
palled upon him, and he brought
home no more cards indicating that
he was a good boy. One day his
grandfather remarked
"Why is it, Willie, that you no
longer get merit cards? Don't you
remember we always gave you pen
MES when you were good?"
"That's just it." replied Clayton.

money from you" - New York
