There should be a window for every

Senator Dayis' riaiden Effort

Senator JEFF, Davis. of the unparalleled
and matchless State Of Arkansas. as he
himself admits. delivered, as per emphatic
promise, his initial effort to save the
country before the Senare Of the United
States yesterday. The Senator said he
would do it 'or bust" Right glad are we
TO chronicle the fact that bust" he
didn't. As TO whether he did otherwise
tastes. mayhap. will differ.
The Senator is primarily. and. doubtless,
unalterably. an octopus chaser. The
devils affection for holy water is as a
mothers love beside Mr.. Davis hatred Of
combines and corporations. There are no
benign corporations in Senator Davis
philosophy; there are no comparative de-
grees of meanness. All are worst. He
hates them with ''the kissing hate Of
hades," as some impassioned poet de-
scribes that quality OF excessive and i'm
Dlacable hostility such as surges within
the Senator's broad and expansive bosom.
stop, think, and consider'-that was the
text of his appeal. the keynote Of his de
fiance. Three times did he plead with the
Senate to know whittier are we drift
ing?" No one made reply. They just let
things drift.
The Senator. however. though manifest
ly somewhat lacking In that repose which
stamps the caste Of Senatorial We're de
Veres. is. nevertheless, a diplomat. in his
way. He thunders not so loudly that the
sunshine Of his nature is at all times OBJ
scured. He leaves the impression upon
the average man that sometimes in his
life he must have kissed, II ever so light

floor with me- he exclaimed, shaking his
finger full in the face of Senator Bev-
eridge. Senator Beveridge's eye took on a
steely CLINT: he appeared pugnacions. In
the next breath the roar Of the lion
softened TO the notes Of the dove. and
the Indiana man was assured OF his

The Prize for Literature.

As has been expected, the Nobel Prize
for literature has. this year. been
awarded to Mr.. Rudyard Kipling. though
it seems a little late in the day If Mr..
Kipling had been awarded this prize half
dozen years ago IL would have seemed
more fitting. for in recent years Mr.. Kip
ling seems 20 have been enjoying that

10 have allowed Literature to take care

tribution startling neither for extreme

Still, it has seemed strange that man
who has contributed so much to the lit
erature Of his age, literature which there
is every reason 10 believe has perma-
nently enriched the language, should UP
70 this time have received so little official
recognition. II Is true that there was
some talk Of his having received an Of
fer Of knighthood which he is said to
have refused. but that was never authen-
ticated. and the present the Nobel
Prize, is practically the first public re-
ward that he has received for his services
TO the world OF letters.
And although the recent years of Mr..
Kipling's life have been lean ones as re-
CARDS literary output. there is no danger
that the world will soon forget what he
has already accomplished. Apart from

Mr.. TAFT'S HANDICAP.
Popular Sentiment Against Dicta-
tiOn from White House.

From the Kansas City Journal
II Mr- Taft stood alone and aloof from
the White House he could gather TO his
fold several elements Of strength that
are now alienated from him. President
Roosevelt is stiH highly popular through
out The country. He added 10 his popu-
lar.ty by his refusal Of a third term
But it is generally understood that Mr
Roosevelt has pinned his hopes TO Taft
10 carry on his policies. There is a strong
sentiment in this country against party
diclatio1 from the White House. There
is feeling that the man who is honored
by the highest gift Of the party and the
ccu itry should keep his hands Of. There
is also a feeling that when a man has
served two terms as President he should
be willing to let his record stand without
attempting the dictation Of a successor

istrative legatee.
The probabilities are that Mr. Taft is
