across the chamber at the senator
from Pennsylvania (Penrose), LaFol-
lette said:
LAS to the remarks of the senator
from Pennsylvania, l would suggest
that he would render more important
service to the country, to the state Of
Pennsylvania, and to the United States
when he accounts for the way he
spends his time when absent from this
body, than in any effort to make any
account of mine.
Il might add, Mr. President, that no
man could undertake to account for the
whereabouts of the senator from Penii-
sylvania without transgressing the
rules of the senate. and that l do not
propose to do in this debate

| Mrs. SimmS found herself drawn by
! her friend across the tiny hall into the
I! living room, and there the two took Il
good look at each other. Carrie, the
regal Carrie, stood clad in Il blue and
white wash shirt waist suit that would
not be injured by entry into the
kitchen. Above it the old brilliant,
eager face, thinner, with hints of lines
and with its interested, searching
brown eyes, looked down as of old on
Betty Simms in her Paris wrap and
her trading gown. There was Il COM
passion in Bctty's eyes that shonc forth
unknown to her, and Carrie laughed
her old gay laugh.
You paid ut least $40 for that love
of a hat, Betty" she said, but per-
haps you won't mind taking it off and
laying it on my $1650 bed"
Its Il bird of paradise" said Betty
mechanically as she struggled with
the hatpins. The dresser silver was the

no additions. The dresser scarf was

Still dazed, she followed her hostess

a superfiuous article adorned its walls.
The mantel boosted single ornament
a jar of quaint pottery. The books
on the table. however. were plentiful.
The single small rug on the waxed
floor WAS an oriental. Through the
arch the dining room table showed,

many emotions chased themselves
through the head of Mrs. Simms. To
her credit. not once did she think Of
the possible wrinkling and spelling Of
her gown. When before in her life
had her arms been full of woolly dog
and little boy? 1t was new sensation.
None of her friends seemed as init
mately acquainted with their own chill
dren as Carrie was with hers. Never
before at luncheon had Mrs. Simms so
much as seen child let alone touch
ed one. Yet somehow Anthony did
not seem out of place here nor in the
way. He seemed part of the house
hold and to take his place naturally.
1t was very simple luncheon,
though q dainty one. and it tasted
amazingly good to the visitor. who
was rather silent. She was trying to
reconcile the cheerful face of Carrie
Peabody with the account Carrie was
giving of her life.

saying. 1.-THE company he was with

But" said the woman, listening,
| struggling to adjust the facts before

There was hint of envy in her tone.
"Why shouldn't 1 be-" asked the
woman in the blue wash gown, An

Across the face of the listening WON

into her past AID seeing many things.

Aldrich's Daring.

Is there no risk that Senator Aid
rich is not willing to take in his eff
forts to serve the protected manufac-
turers?
Risk" we think-speaking political
ly at least-is appropriate when APP
piled to the action of the senate boss
in jamming schedule after schedule
through congress after specified para
graphs have been shown beyond dis
pute by men standing high in his own
party to be nothing short of robbery.
The cotton schedule is a good illus
tration, but no more risky" than many
others. The cotton manufacturers did
not need new profits. They are now
declaring dividends of so and 60 and as
high as 67R per cent. Yet the Rhode
Island senator caused amendments to
be made to the cotton schedule that
will increase the profits of the cotton
manufacturers hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually. Every family in
the land must contribute 10 make up
the huge sum representing increased
profit, and must submit to the 2Xtor-
ton year after year until the tariff is
again revised

SoIicitudc for Nottingham.

And to cap the climax of effrontery,
Aldrich stood on the floor of the senate
and declared repeatedly that he was
actuated solely by desire to protect
the American workingman." What a
risk! Also what an outrage that he
may practice such treacherous conduct
in a capacity in which il will have the
direct effect of increasing the living
expenses of 90,000,0C0 people.
Government statistics gave the lie
TO the representation of Senator Aid
rich before he made it. The New Eng
land cotton mill owners, who alone
profit by the advanced rates on cot
tons, have only protected" their
American workIhen in the sense they
substituting in the places of Ameri-
cans in the mills class of labor rep
resenting the scum of Europe The
same fact is true of other protected
industries, particularly the highly pro
tected steel industry, in the blast fur
to find an American face.
Takes All; Gives Little.
That the protected manufacturer
greedily takes all the benefit of hav-
ing monopoly on the American mar
ket, and gives his workmen scarcely a
morsel, is shown by the census of 1905,
In that year the annual wage of the
average employe of the unprotected in
dustry was $74 more than the average
wage of the protected industry EN-
ploye
In spite of these facts, however, Aid,
rich ran the risk of saying he was rails
ing the price of cottons to the con.
sumner to benefit the American" work
ingman.

ed in all seriousness that if the con
sumner was not ultimately given relief

ed to to wiring justice from the tariff
