CONFUSION WORSE COMPOUNDED"

Things seem to be in a chaotic condition in
the United States Senate. An expert parlia-
mentarian would find himself busy keeping the
tange united and the business Of the body NOV
ing with facility to completion.
The cause of the commotion is the Presi-
dents pet project-the Reciprocity bill. The
country heard with delight a few days ago that
the bill would surely muster majority of two
thirds of the Senate in its favor and was assur-
ed of it's adoption. But its report by the FL
nance Committee has preeipitated the prettiest
fight OF the season. and in the confusion and
uncertain issue of the melee 1t is difficult for
the bystarder to determine Just what the mean
ing is and what the result will be.
The Democrats are practically unanimous for
its passage unfettered by amendment of any
kind The regular Republicans had also, for
the most part determined upon its support But
the insurgent element from the Western States
have introduced revolt that threatens the sue
cess of the measure 1t Is hard to determine
their motives. Their contention is that the
nation needs a thorough modification Of the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff bill, and they have issued
the ultimatum that before the Reciprocity bin
is permitted to pass the Senate must undertake
a downward revision of other tariff schedules.
This is their contention and it sounds sincere.
but there can be no doubt that great game OF
politics is being played just now in the Senate
chamber, which the man on the outside finds 1t
difficult 10 understand
I This much seems sure~-the introduction OF
! other matters at this moment seriously threat
ems the Reciprocity bin and gives very little
promise Of tariff reform For ourselves, We
/ find II hard to question the sincerity of men
/ like Bourne. Bristow, Borah, Cummins La Fol
lette and others; and yet we can but feel that
this move displays poor generalship, unless the
Progressive League purposes the defeat OF Mr.
Taft's denomination, hoping that the plum ma,
fall into the, hands of one of their number In
this event this move might be good politics. al
! II Is questionable whether Mr. Taft can be re
nominated If he fails in the passage Of the Re
ciprocity bill.

1t is Interesting 10 speculate upon the mo-
tives that have moved the boys to prefer Amer
lean residence and citizenship to British. Per
haps the Paget roll is not long enough to carry
a pair of idle twins. and the twins have decided
TO attempt strike in the land Of easy things.
Maybe in some of their tours Of this country
their optics swept a pair of feminine faces and
figures that were much to the liking of the
British boys and they thought to make their
attack from the vantage ground Of common
residence and interest. 1t is not unlikely that

will find larger opportunities Of development

All for Temperancr.

The Ant-saloon League has prodded the
senatorial candidates, Martin and Jones, Swan
son and Glass with the usual temperance
questions and all have given an answer.
The questions propounded by the commit

ton. Is chairman. were searching. The can
didates were questioned as to how they had
voted in prohibition elections What had been
their attitude in Congress toward temperance
measures, whether not they favored and
would work for the passage of the Miller
Curtis bill or its equivalent to prohibit the ship
ment of alcoholic liquors into dry States,
and finally. whether not they favored the
bin to restore the army canteen.
Mr. Martin replies to the first question that
he cannot recall that any local option election
has been held in his county since he became a
voter and Mr. Swanson makes similar reply.
Mr.. Jones says that only one such election
has been held in his county and then he voted
against the saloon. Mr.. Glass that in all
local option contests held in Lynchburg since
The prohibition question has cut very little
figure in Congress. but all the candidates say
that they are opposed to the restoration Of the
army canteen and. on the other hand, that they
favor and viii work for and vote for the Mil

give to each State absolute control over the
liquor traffic within it's borders and prohibit
the shipment OF alcoholic liquor from wet

old friend. AS far as can be learned
now, Tagart is just as loyal to Ralston

STORY IS

BIT WRONG
In Fact, There Is no Truth
Whatever in Statement
Made in Gary Paper That
United Railways of Chi
cago Are Back of Geist.

The report in a Gary paper to the
effect that the United Railways Co. of
Chicago is back of the project which
is being promoted by c. III. Geist to
build a new interurban system con-
Meeting the cities OF the Calumet
region is denied by A L. Drum of the
A. L. Drum Co. which operates the
Hammond. Whiting & East Chicago
Railway Co. the Indiana lines of the
United Railways Co. of Chicago.
Mr. Drum was interviewed in his
Office in Chicago this morning He
stated that while he is concerned
chiefly with the operating end OF the
business he would make some inquiries
at the general office of the United Rail-
ways Co of Chicago and give THE
TIMES what information he could get
In a subsequent interview he stated
that the United Railways Co. of Chi
cago has positively no dealings with C.
III. Geist and that the rumor that Geist
is getting the franchises for this com
pany Is merely conjecture.
Through the United Railways Co. of
Chicago an imaginary connection was
established with the United States
steel Co. but this is more the product
OF a vivid imagination than based on
actual facts.
Manager Green. who also stated that
he would make some inquiries about
the reported connection of c. H. Geist
with the United Railways Co. of Chi
cago said that he is convinced that no
relations between the two compa MES
exist
