''P|TCHF0RK" T|LLMAN TALKS ON
"THETREND OF AMERICAN POLITICS"

Comes now to Canon City. for the
first time, and, mayhaps. for business
reasons, the last, Tillman (Dem. 8.
Carolina) "Pitchfork," as they call
him, because his words are sharp and
his tongue inclined to be forked,
spoke in the opera house Thursday.
The committee who had his coming in
charge had some trouble assigning
his subject Tillman has three subjects.
1.-THE Dispensary-Treatment of the
Temperance Question" Is one of them.
Some local citizens, said NOT to be
on the dry side, wanted this. subject

vocates, it is rumored, thought the
matter had better be passed over SO
far as Tillman is concerned. he not
being entirely conversant with local
conditions. One contingent thought an
address on THE Race Question-From
a Southern Standpoint" would be per-
tinent. But none of the factions were
able to agree on either of these, so the
choice fell upon THE Trend of Ameri-
can Politics" That's what they Or
dered and that's what they got
Senator Tillman struck the trail of
the trend way down in South Caro-
lima and followed 1t across the Mis-
sissippi and the plains to Colorado,
where he treed the quarry. Then he
did some barking up the tree that
wasn't exactly on the bills.
On the platform, Senator Tillman
looks more like a tramp than lee
turer. Walking toward the footlights,
with squeeky shoes. he displayed an
alpaca coat too tightly held by one
straining button-railroad schedules
protruding from one pocket-some-
thing that might be either oranges or
peanuts in the other-he looked for
all the world like a back-section
rancher heading for the circus. All

What Is WhIsky2

What is whisky?" asks the Wash
ington Herald. According to a man
who tried it, says the Sterling (Kan)
Journal, whisky Is a concoction Of
rainwater and jug with two ounces OF
knockout drops to the glass. When
you first drink it, it's fine and rip
roaring fun; when 1t gets we'll soaked
in, it's horned toads, dragons and toss
ing snakes; and when you begin to
sober up 1t Is the calaboose, with
nasty, dirty, wet towel around your
head. a nasty feeling In your stom-
ach, taste OF old shoes in your mouth,
painful crack in your belfry, and
despairing wonder as to how you are
going to get out and get home without
your wife or best girl getting next.

youngster who has tried to pull tany
without using butter as a preventive.
Or like a D. T. patient scouting for
bugs. Tillman made enough dove-tails
with his fingers last night to construct
governmental structure far more
staple than the one he is trying to
tear down now.
Judge Bailey introduced the speaker
the fact that South Carolina was re-
sponsible for John C. Calhoun and An
drew jackson as we'll as Tillman. He
referred to Tillman as a radical and
thanked God that there are more rad
icals than Tillman. In this connection
he mentioned Folk of Missouri, Hugh
es of New York and Bryan Of "The
Commoner." Guaranteeing that the
speaker was quite harmless, Judge
Bailey struck the keynote of the gath
ering by saying that the southerner
would says "a few plain words to a
few plain people"
Yes, there were only a few present,
but it was a mighty representative
lot. The Democrats were in minority,
to their shame.
In his regulation lecture, the SEN
ator talked much about state rights.
He claims, along with many other
calamity howlers, that the state
rights issue is looming as dangerously
as it did before the late unpleasant
ness He denies that state rights we're
shot to pieces during the sixties. Then
he goes after the trusts and the rem
1ioJ hot hoin0 talon
against them.
But through the lines can easily be
read the affinity" that Senator Till
man has for President Roosevelt; the
affinity" that showed throughout the
last session CT congress, Intellectually
concealed by Tillman's red-f1re out
bursts for grandstand effect. That par
ty lines are dimming before the sena-
tors sight is very true. 1t crops out
from his bitterness against the Demo-
Gratis who are corporation controlled
on to his final appeal for Democrats
and Republicans to vote for patriotism,
rather than party. for the nations
salvation.
Senator Tillman hears that Colorado
sold her United States senatorship.
He does not know this, certainly, but
he hears it, and deplores the situa-
ton. Had 1 the proof he shouted,
I'D fight the thing myself, by the holy
gods, and keep that man from taking
his seat" He deplored the situation
and arrigned the voters for sending
men to the legislature who could be
bought. He deplored the fact that Colo
rado, a state where women vote,
should fall under such a mantle OF ac-
cusing shame. He said these things
with a scowl SO heavy that 1t would
make Mansf1eld's face look like
smile when he says Now Is the win
ter of our discomfort" And the women
present, bless 'em, did sQuirm around
little in their seats and look anx-
ious.
So he came and so he talked, did
this Zion of the south" His hearers
are better for having heard him, for
his is an unusual message. On differ
ent ears 1t falls in a different way,
and perhaps no two people left the
opera house last night with the same
opinion of Ben" Tillman.

paid a tribute to Tillman when he
credited him with having sincerity,
courage and integrity" He has these
qualities and some more good ones.
Because of this, it is good to hear
him.
