Bailey.

With Senator Bailey at the head of her
delegation, Texas should play a promi-
nent part at Denver The senator is en-
tirely at home in such body. His gifts
a speaker are of high order, as
parliamentarian he ranks with the best
while his knowledge of public questions
and of political history fits him for serv-
ice on any committee. At ST. Louis. four
years ago, he bore an important part in
committee proceedings. Mr.. Bailey is in
structed .or Mr.. Bryan and favors the
Nebra skan's nomination, but has small
sympathy with what is popularity known
as Organism. The two men are probably
closest together on the tariff question
For this reason Mr.. Baileys proper as
signment would appear to be on the plat
form committee. Should he serve there
we may expect discussion of a vigorous
character as to what is real democracy.

Taft's Tribute to Grant.
From the New York World

In Secretary Taft's Memorial day adj
dress on Gen. Grant. regarded as whole
and with an eye to its intent, there IS
little ground for the criticism voiced by
some of its veteran hearers. The speaker
referred plainly to certain weaknesses of
Grant in is early manhood to his drink
Ing. to his resignation from the army
under a Cloud in 1854. and to his subSe-
quent Ill success at farming and in bust
ness. No honest estimate of Grant
career can be made without taking these
things into consideration. In Secretary
Tafts speech they were used simply to
emphasize an eloquent tribute to the
Grant of later years; to accent the Won
ders of Standardization displayed when
emergency and duty had called the great
soldier to the front and had brought out
his hitherto latent powers.

Observation-Disclosures the UseP

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One may admire the courage of Senator
La Toilette in coming from sick bed to
speak for nearly nineteen hours TO a
hostile Senate. but one cannot escape the
query, ITO what good purpose" If any
great issue were at stake. If anything
substantial were tn be gained by holding
up an overwhelming majority. all praise
might be given Senator La Toilette and
his few allies. Unfortunately. there was
little that was substantial to the filibuster
that was begun on Friday except a dis
play of physical endurance. Perhaps the
constituents of Senator La Toilette and
the other filibusters may be impressed
with these feats of endurance. but Ger
tainly there was nothing else to be gained
by the participants. If they did not like
the currency bill few terse sentences
would have made their position known.
but they chose to play to the galleries
rather than take the dignified course.

Prohibition

Come all you prohibitionists
And bark to what say;
Let's try this liquor question
In different kind of way.
For you are not making Roadway
Working local option laws;
Let's strike at the foundation
And go after the main cause.
There is profit in the liquor trade,
That is where the troubles lie.
And we can put an end to them
If we only make a try.
The government will make it
And sell to you, think,
And sell it in sealed packages,
But never by the drink.
We will have liquor warehouse
In every fair sized town,
Where you can buy your liquor,
If you pay your money down.
And if you must have whisky
To drive away the cramps.
You will buy it from the government
AS you now buy postage stamps.
And there will be no treating,
And there no one will fight,
For you know your Uncle Samuel
Will do the thing all right.
Now if you're interested
In bringing this about,
Walk up and vote for socialism
And you'll get it without doubt.
You may not like the party,
You may not like our way;
If you'll study up it's principles
am sure you'll vote our way.
Then we will get some more reform.
Sure heaven will be on earth,
Then we shall all be happy.
And filled with JOY and mirth.
