Capitolline terrace where the talk or

sitting in the chair, who told 'em in es-

they had no doubt helped to buy the very
gavel with which the presiding officer
dubbed his desk while he was telling 'em
to dry up their heads.
And the man on the floor was saying
things that pleased them. They were hui

mouths.
Why in the name of the Ahkound OF

The population of ii Waco was made UP
of salmon fishers and lumberjacks who
got themselves soused usually on Sat
urday nights and stayed in that picked
condition until they had to get on the
job again Monday mornings.
To III Waco a big-boned, fugged-ja wed
preacher man drifted one day and an
nounced that he was going to mold serv-
ices on the coming Sunday. He dropped
around and saw the bunch-it was a
Friday that he did this-and requested
'em to pass up their regular Saturday
night drunk just for once. so that he
could stake 'em to a little talk on the
Sunday and find them in condition to
listen to what he had to say. The gang
of rough 'uns liked the sky pilots way
of getting at 'em, and almost to a man
they did postpone the Saturday night
toot just to give the preacher a hearing
Sunday. They showed up with clean
faces and the mud scraped off their
boots at the rough-hewn hall above a
groggery Sunday morning to take in the
proceedings. The sky pilot said some
prayers, read some passages from the
Book, led some hymns, IN which the
bunch Joined, and then he began to hand
em out the talk. 1t was mighty good
talk, too-straight from the upper-cutting
muscles-about the orneriness of the rum

however-and the Department Of Justice
expects with him-that when the govern
ment decides to continue its particular
line of land fraud prosecutions Mr.. Heney
will be on hand to boss the job.
Incidentally. it is of interest that even
the good people of San Francisco are In
two states of mind about Mr.. Heney. par
ticularly since it was brought out during
the trial OF Patrick Calhoun. president
of the United Street railways of San
Francisco. for bribery. that Millionaire
Spreckles had been paying Heney thou

seems TO be an impression that Mr..

the graft-tainted atmosphere of San
Francisco as he was to depress the stock
of the United Street Railway Company
and gobble il UP all by his lonesome. This
may or may not be SO. but sufficient or

Why. again?
'Tis something to wonder about. once

of course. not to permit folks in the gal
leries to express either approval or dis
approval of the proceedings on the moor
of a legislating body: the writer hereol Is
thoroughly familiar with that fact.
But, once more, why?
The folks present in the gallery or the
Senate the day this senator made ms
speech were well behaved people-tour-
lists. perhaps, mainly-pretty fairish
Americans all of 'em, or they wouldn I
have been where they were. And the
observations that were being exuded by
the senator doing the talking pleased
them stirred them, won them. inspirlted
or inspired them, aroused within them
certain feelings to which, as freeborn
men and women, they desired to give ex-
preston, and timidly. in Difference to the
imbecile tradition that there should be
no applause, they feebly gave utterance
or other outward expression to an ap-
plause that they really wanted to make
vociferous.
Why in the name of human lungs and
St Mega phone shouldn't they have been
privileged to vocif all they internally
pleased?
In one way or another they and their
fathers and grandfathers before 'em had
