DATE FOR TARIFF VOTE.
Bailey Challenges Republicans to
Vote on Income Tax.

Washington, May q. President Taft
evidently spoke with authority when in
Virginia on Wednesday. He said that
Congress would get through with the
tariff bill in June Senator Aldrich
this afternoon served notice that he
would ask tomorrow that date be
fixed for a final vote on the bill.
1t is said tonight that Senator Aldrich
wishes June fixed as the date. On the
other hand, Hale and Lodge prefer the
21st. Senator Bailey, speaking for the
Democrats, said he did not care what
time was fixed.
Il know" he said, that it is a waste
of time to combat the Aldrich idea on
this bill He will have it passed as he
wishes it. We Democrats may oppose,
we may make speeches, we may dissent
and disagree, but after all, what is the
use? You, addressing Senator Aldrich,
will fix this tariff as you desire and
without consulting us on this side at all.

FARMERS PRESIDENT.
South Must Quit Looking at Politics
Through One Knot Hole.
BY SAMUEL W. RIDDLE.

He who would know and lead the
Southern farmer must needs have the
wisdom of the serpent, the harmless
ness of the dove and the guile of the
master-politician without the latter in
eyitable leaning towards hypocrisy.
You would have fingers to spare, if
you tried to tell on one hand the num-
Der Of men in America possessing this
knowledge and this power that combine
the penetration of the wizard and the
intuition of the woman. Among them
is Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers Union. That order
has paid membership of more than
two million farmers, rich, poor and in
different, through the Southern States
And the farmer, being three-fourths
of the population, ought to, if he does
not, rule the Southern States.
The average provincial Governor or
Congressman lays clam to rare tamil
iarity with the moods and lenses of this
strange human product of industry and
isolation.
Discredited regulations or the frenzy
with which they agonize to hold their
Jobs expose the futility of their asser-
tons.
Barrett is most different.
He combines two of the rarest traits
in current affairs
! He is a straw that shows which
way the wind is blowing.
2. He is an adept at shaping the
wind and giving it direction and eff
ficiency.
He is next to the earth when it comes

helpless, and getting worse case Of po-
litical paralysis, just as long as the
North thinks we are hidebound down
here in a political way
Just as long as we give out the inn
preston that we arrive at our political
convictions by tradition and prejudice
and not by logic or merit, and that we
absolutely refuse to listen to any save
our side Of Presidential campaigns, we
can just make up our minds to delay
our own development and thwart our
own progress Uncle Remus 's-The
Home Machine

slowly, what-can-she -show-fo
that-great- natural-wealth?
Big development, since the Civil
War, yes; big revenue from the cotton
crop, to be sure; multiplying factories,
of course; a growing domestic, inter
state and foreign trade, without doubt
But that is merely scratching the
surface; we have never reached the
subsoil.
And we will never reach the subsoil
until we have absolute, unouestioned,
unqualified political freedom and indie
pendence of utterance in the Southern
States
They are making a new tariff in
Washington now. They are slicing away
at the things the South consumes, at the
things the South produces every hour
and every day.
Is the South helping in the process?
Not perceptibly. The South is not with
in seeing distance of the operating table.
A few Southerners, purely for appear
-ance sake, are allowed in the commit
tee-rooms But the man who thinks
they can affect the framing of tariff
that comes into the lives of every man,
woman and child in the Southern States,
is either wilfully deceiving himself or
his ignorance commands our pity.
When they get through juggling and
splicing and slashing, the things we eat,
the things we wear, the things we pro-
duce, will have another market value;
in all probability it will be higher for
the first two, lower for the last.
And the South's hands are tied fast
behind it's back so far as any effective
opposition is concerned.
Still we can protest, was suggested.

to speaking about the Southern farmer.
He has the sharp, biting, penetrating
wit that comes from the earth. He has
the delicately poised judgment that sorts
out like lightning the essential from the
negligible He has the fearlessness to
see through and set down a political or
a commercial Pharisee. Himself pio-
neer, he has the courage to defend the
trail-blazer when the rest of the popu-
lace is sneering at him and answering
his appeal for progress by turning the
dogs loose on him.
Barrett is the communicating chief OF
more than 1000, 900 farmers, represent
ing farmers of the old and new South.
He feels their pulse with a delicate
sixth sense, and he thinks they believe
in and need political breadth and toll
erance.
| showed him the last two editorials
that had appeared in Uncle Remus's-
The Home Magazine" regarding nom
sectionalism in Southern politics, and
presumed on an intimate acquaintance
to ask his opinion.
Barrett has trick of focusing his
eyes on a distant part of the landscape
and then bringing them around sud-
denly on you with a glance that com
pels. That is what he did, and then he
answered, little slowly at first, as is
his habit:
Political intolerance, looking at pol
iticS through Just one knot-hole, has Gre
ated Chinese wall around the South.
1t rests with the progressive Southerner
to give justification to that wall or forth
