Senator Robert L. Taylor, of TenneE-
see, still clings to the acrobatic habit
of performing IN mid-air the most mar

The decorous atmosphere of the
American senate has wrought no charge
in the peculiar style of oratory for
which he has long been famous among
public speakers.

And the men who are today invad-
ing the welkin with air machines can
not hope to overtake him during the
present dispensatiOn.
Several weeks ago in an eloquent
speech on the tariff Senator Taylor
undertook to explain to his solemn col
leagues of the upper chamber the diff
ference between sectional jealousy anC
sectional pride. The former he declar
ed to be an evil, but the latter he in
sisted was only another name for pat
riotism.
Listen!
Said the eloquent senator from Ten

east for believing that the aurora bore

tern furnaces and factories, nor will
the west, for believing the sunset
golden glow is the reflection of westerl

fall out with me for entertaining tn
opinion that the milky way is only th
picture on the sky of the rice and cot

This is one of "Fiddling Bob's" char
acteristic flights even in the great haI
or argument.
} But let it not be hastily imagine
that the speeches of Senator TaylC

thistledown.
In what he says there is always foo
