Mr.. Kern is in a pickle. Not only is
he embarrassed as respects Mr.. Shively
and the brewers. whose assistance he
must have in the approaching campaign.
but he must square himself with Mr..
Bryan, who has congratulated him on
his nomination and volunteered assist
ance. But what can Mr.. Bryan do for a
man who knows damaging things against
the brewers, and yet will not tell for fear
of driving the brewers out of politics?
The one proposition above all others 20
which Mr.. Bryan is now committed Is
that the liquor interests of every kind and
degree must quit politics. or be driven
out.

McMillin of Tennessee.

The nomination last night by the DEM
ocrats OF Tennessee Of Benton McMillin
for United States senator brings into no.
tice again man who some years ago
was a national figure. He served eight
terms running a member OF the House,
and was one of the candidates for Speak
er in the contest in the Fifty-second Con-
sress which resulted in the choice of
Judge Crisp of Georgia.
After leaving the House Mr.. McMillin
served term as governor of his state.
and has long aspined to a seat in .the
Senate He seems 10 be at last on the
way. although In the present disturbed
state of Tennessee politics democratic

Practical Air Work.

Little by little the airpiane is proving
its practical qualities. The other day
Hamilton, becoming temporarily disabled
in the course of his return fight from
Philadelphia to New York, safely brought
his machine TO the ground and after max
ing the necessary repairs proceeded to
his goal. thus demonstrating an ability
TO resume an interrupted flight from any
point The latest proof comes from
France. where Bleriot, who has already
done much to prove the efficacy of the
airplane as means of practical trans
portation, is now serving his term of
military service. His colonel suddenly or
dered him to carry dispatches by air
route from Chalons, where he is quar-
tered, to Paris over a given route. The
straight flight from the camp at ChalOns
To Paris is about 100 miles, and thus
Bleriot's fight was important in itself re-
gardless of the fact that he accomplished
IL without warning. No report of the
atmospheric conditions or the time con-
sumed has been received. Ii is possible
that the French government will not be
free with information regarding these
military flights. The German government,
il is to be noted, is allowing practically
nothing to be printed as to the work of
the avia tors in that country. AS far as
the news dispatches are concerned the
Germans appear to be tagging behind in
heavier-than-air aviation. YETI it may
be confidently assumed that the Ger
man army is today busily engaged in air
plane work of high order of skill, and
1t Is possible that the ideal machine has
been there perfected and is held as a
military agency.

Debate.

The days of the session are drawing to
| close. Members of the House observe
the passing of the hours with grave
anxiety. Some of them are in political
peril at home The enemy menaceS them.
They need ammunition, shrapnel and
solid shot, powder and ball. The great
munition mill on the hill will soon close
and every bill that comes under discus
sion presents an opportunity for speech
making which must be seized. .Conse-
quently the Congressional Record these
days is serious disappointment to those
readers who prefer continuity and Sc
quence to interruption and pOStponement.
Yesterday the general deficiency bill, the
campaigners good friend. was before the
House. The member who cannot make
ringing speech on any subject with
the general deficiency bill under discus
sion deserves to lose his election. The
House was yesterday addressed by no
less than forty-three members, each in
stated speech. The burning words of
most of them are represented in this
mornings issue by ellipses, of which the
following, reprinted from page S4a9, is a
fair example:
'tMr. Olcott addressed the committee
tMr. Mckinley OF Illinois addressed
the committee. His remarks will appear
hereafter)
''(Mr. Lindbergh addressed the commit
tee. His remarks will appear hereafter.)
'(Mr. Bingham addressed the commit
tee. His remarks will appear hereafter
'(Mr. Mondell addressed the committee

(Mr. Joyce addressed the committee
His remarks will appear hereafter)
"(Mr. Austin addressed the committee
His remarks will appear hereafter)
tMr. Goebel addressed the committee

The monotony of these thrilling pass
ages is broken by an occasional message
from the Senate and by the speeches of
eight legislators who kindly consented
to allow their remarks to be published
Immediately. Yesterdays proceedings
will result in thirty-five debated prints
and It is no disparagement of the good
faith of any of these orators to predict
that when these speeches are finally pub
lished they will occupy four times as
much space as though the stenographic
reports of yesterdays proceedings were
reproduced in today's Record. 1t Is worthy
of note that the House last Monday de-
MED the District its regularly scheduled
and badly needed legislative day" in
order to hasten to the consideration of
this measure, now under such illuminat-
ing debate.

then at Springer's side, and then at Will
sons side, when those leaders in the
order named hourished their swords in
the face of protection. His candidacy
for Speaker was based on his record as
a tariff reformer.
If Mr. McMillin succeeds. and his
party captures the next House, he will ap-
pear in the Senate in time to take part in

spoken, and the years in retirement have
not cooled his ardor for free trade
This veteran democrat was second on
the list of the men who drew the IA
nous Wilson bill, and scarcely second
to Chairman Wilson himself in the fight
for the measure on the floor. He came
ahead of Mr.. Bryan, who was eighth
on the list, and first gained the ear of the
country in that debate. The democratic
House stood in this order: Wilson of
West Virginia, McMillin of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia. Montgomery of Ken
lucky, Whiting Of Michigan. Cochran of
New York, Stevens of Massachusetts,.
Bryan of Nebraska, Breckenridge of
Arkansas, Bynum of Indiana and Tars-
ney of Missouri Several are dead, and
not one of the survivors is now in office.
And not one of the democratic senate
who made mincemeat of the Wilson
bill is now in commission, while Mr..
German, who led them. has for several
years been in his grave.

Mr.. Kern Should Tell.

and they still pursue him. 1t will not
do to describe them as 1.-The Villains
The matter is no longer one-sided. There
are democrats as well as republicans who
think John w. Kern should go into par
ticulars respecting his charge that brew
cry money accomplished his defeat for
the Senate at the time Mr.. Shively was
chosen. Who sold? What was the price
paid? Who manipulated what in Illi-
nois is called the Jackpot?
Mr. Kern. though silent now, has said
too much, or too little. Sometimes man
in the hour of defeat speaks hastily. He
imagines. or magnifies. things. Such an
excuse is offered by some in Mr.. Kern's
case. He was smarting when he spoke.
and it is suggested that he had more
suspicious than facts to go upon.
Then there is the man whose infirmity
of temper makes his words little wild
at all times. Take the case of Fingy
Corners, who excused himself on that
score after specifically charging that
Tammany Hall sold judgeships Mr..
Corners, when pinned down, confessed
that he could not make his charge good.
But Mr.. Kern is not a promoted long
shorenan, but a man of education, and
as a lawyer is capable Of weighing Ian
guage II he spoke in heat the first
time he had had time to cool off before
he returned to the subject. and when
he did return to the subject he repeated
what he had at first said. So that
either Mr.. Kern should have said nothing
at all. or should now, II possible. sat.
isfy public curiosity about transaction
which he has declared was criminal.
Instructions for Mr.. Kern for senator
were secured through the agency Of tue

Hearst and Roosevelt.

Mr.. Hearst, from across the sea where
he Is Row sojourning, is paying his re-
spects 10 Mr. Roosevelt in very vigorous
language. Epithet is piled upon epithet,
epigram upon epigram, in derision of Mr..
Roosevelt's claims to attention. The Rough
Rider is described as "a tin soldier" the
statesman as noisy pretender, and the
gentleman as ill-mannered in company
abroad.
And yet the story persists that union
between these two men in this years
New York campaign is likely. They
have enemies IN common at home whom
they dislike more than they dislike each
other, and those enemies are active. So
that, as the argument runs If Mr.. Hearst
and Mr.. Roosevelt do not get together
and hang together they may hang sepa-
rately. Each in times past has made as
startling combinations as the one now
suggested would be.
She was a young woman OF spirit and
frank speech, and she did not like Mr..
Smith, who liked her. In conversation
with her chum, she ridiculed his appear
ance. spoke slightingly of his manners,
expressed the opinion that he was stingy,
and declared that she would not accept
him for husband If he were the last
man in the world. She was unable to
discuss the subject in moderate Ian
guage or even temper.
Two months later she confided to her
chum the news that she was to become
Mrs. Smith.
In the name of goodness" exclaimed
the chum. DO you remember what you
said to me about Mr.. Smith only short
time ago.
Il do perfectly
Then how can you logically and con-
sistently marry him.
Have you ever been in love-"
Never
Il thought not. or you wouldn't try
to connect logic or consistency with the
feeling"
Now, is it any easier to connect logic
or consistency with politics than with
love? Do not active politicians abuse
each other in one campaign and frater-
nize warmly in the next? Did not Mr..
Hearst call at the White House and have
a long interview with Mr. Roosevelt after
the gubernatorial campaign in New York,
in which he had lambasted the latter in
the roundest terms. and the latter,
through Mr.. Root, had replied in kind?
These broadsides from Europe may
mean just as little so far as the future
Is concerned. Mr.. Hearst may simply
be working himself into a passion which
will make it the easier when the time
comes for him to cooperate with the OBJ
ject of his present wrath. Not until she
had made Mr.. Smith an ogre did the
young woman yield to his attractions
Then she could not resist her own handi-
work.
