His Reluctant Conviction.
HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years, conditions
in all lines of business, even professional
7iife., have changed so completely that
every man is waking up to the fact that
in order TO win success he must special
ize and learn TO do some one thing and
do it well.
So 1t is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched with
much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney, Liver, and
Bladder Remedy. From the very begin
ming the proprietors had so much con-
fidenCe in II that they invited every
one to test 1t, free of cost, before pur-
chasing.

he agreed to it, the bill increasing the
rates on magazines can be sacrificed.
Taft Willing to Compromise.
The Administration is loath to aban-
don the postal rate bill under any cir
cumstances, yet II IS known that the
President probably Is willing to make
this contribution on the part of the Ad-
ministration to any compromise which
will pass the. appropriatinn- bills and
give reciprocity chance.
Later Senator Warren of wyoming,
one Of the old guard leaders Of the Sen
ate, had conference with the Presi-
dent The nature of his talk was not
learned, further than the fact that he
had brought the news to the Executive
OF the latest developments
Not only did the White House consult
with Republican leaders this morning,
but Democratic members of that body
We're called in. Senators Smith of Mary
land and Fletcher of Florida, both of
whom are more or less in the Presiie
confidence, came early, and talked for
half an hour. Mr.. Taft made an effort
to find out through them Just now the
minority felt about the Elibuster, and
whether Democratic cooperation might
he expected in breaking it by compro-
mise.

TAFT TAKES HAND
IN SENATE TANGLE
Summons Leaders of Both Parties in Effort to Reach
Compromise on Legislation That Caused
Filibuster

Early this morning the President held
conferences with a number of Senators.
They had come almost direct from the
Capitol, and they had no sooner left
tie White House than the information
came out that a compromise had been
proposed which would dispose of the
tariff board, the LOrimer and the pos
tai rate questions, leaving the reCiproc-
ity measure in suspense.
Just what part the Ppesidentis pla~-
ing in promoting this compromise was
not learned. 1t is known that he Is
intensely interested in the Senate pro-
Ceedings. and that he called the leaders
of both parties in the Senate to the
White House before the breakfast
dishes were removed.
AS outlined by visitors to the Execu-
tive Offices the compromise proposes
that there shall be a vote on the Lori
mer, and the permanent tariff board
questions This is to be followed by
an abandonment of the postal rate in
crease, which in turn is to be followed
by consideration Of the appropriation
bills.
Aim to Include Reciprocity.
An effort is being made, according to
the Presidents information, to include
reciprocity in the compromise and make
of it a triangular affair. This, the Presi-
dent was told, was remote and could
hardly be effected.
Senator Bailey is looked on as the
stumbling block to the compromise on
the one hand and Senator Cummins on
the other. Bailey let it be known at the
White House yesterday that he was
against the tariff commission all the
time and against anything until the
Lorimer vote is cast.
Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania, and
Crane of Massa chusetts, were the
earliest callers at the Executive Offices
They, 1t is said, outlined the COM
promise, but did not lead the President
to hope for too much. Senator Penrose
is chairman of the Committee on Post
offices and Postroads, however, and II
The Washington times., 1911-02-28

be fixed for voting upon the bill which
creates a tariff board, I shall object
to fixing a time for voting upon the
Lorimer resolution"
Mr.. Bailey Interrupts.
In other words, though the Senator
from Iowa has said to the Senate and
to the country that the Senator from
Illinois Is not entitled to his seat, he
declines to allow the Senate to vote on
that until the Senate will agree to vote
on some other question" ..-
Precisely" said Senator Cummins.
"If the Senator is content 10 take that
position. / am quite content to have him
said Senator Bailey.
81 am quite content to stand by what
I have said" added Mr.. Cummins. II
believe that the bill to which / have
referred is of greater Importance to the
people of this country than any other
measure now pending before this body.
The Senator from Illinois is here; he is
sitting as a member Of this body. The
opportunity to vote upon his title to his
seat will not be lost If this occasion
passes; but the Senator from Texas, as
well as every other Senator here, knows
that II we do not avail ourselves of this
opportunity to vote upon the bill Gre
ating tariff board we will have no op-
portunity so to do, for years to come"
Decline to Recess.
After further debate the motion of
Senator Hale for a recess was voted
down, % to 80.
From that time on, through the night
the fllibuster proceeded unabated. Sen
ator Smith had intended to discuss re-
ciprocity, but he said he would speak
on another occasion. Senator Percy dis
cussed the election of Senators by direct
vote. Senators Jones and Simmons
spoke and there was one call for a
quorum before midnight Senator Bran
dagee of Connecticut occupied the chair
a considerable part of the time and was
occupying 1t when Bailey got through
his motion that when the vote on the
Lorimer case was taken it be taken by
yeas and nays.
Senator Bourne early in the evening
made hot speech in which he assailed
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt for abuse of the Federal pa
tronage. Senator Bourne was discussing
the Oregon plan of voting direct for
delegates to national party conventions
He charged that Roosevelt used the
Federal patronage to nominate his sue
cessor in office and thwart the will of

Holtslaw, and others whose evidence
has been quoted testified to; and In the
race Of all the damaging and damning
facts developed by both positive and
all that appears In this most accusing
record, Senator Lorimer sat silent as
the dead. He had no explanation to
make. Would not man who had
naught to fear answer any question pro-
pounded to him, and tell everything he
knew about the case? Does this atti-
tude of silence comport with innocence2
Burden of Proof on Lorimer.
IF 1t was shown that Beckemeyer,
Holtslaw, and White had received
money for their votes; II 1t was shown
that other legislators had also been the
recipients of tainted money; and IL It
vas shown that still others had been
approached with corrupt overtures, did
not this volume Of inculpating testimony
shift the burden of proof on Mr.. Lori
mer, and make 1t imperative that he
should defend his title? / ask again,
whether it is withirp the scope of things
probable that II Browne paid this
money to Holtslaw, Becksmeyer, and
the other men in the way they alleged,
that Browne alone was, guilty Of offend
that Lorimer wended his way through
the maze, always the dominating ami
directing influence, and still remained
snow-whtte and unstained? I will not
CONTEND for 1t Is unnecessary, that
Browne was Lorimer's agent in the
sense that Lorimer was bound by ali
his acts.
II do not invoke the rule which gov
erns the relations between principal and
agent. 1t Is sufficient for the purposes
Of this case that we try It by the testI-
mony' unswerved by sentiment or pas
sion. 1t Is sufficient II the facts brought
nome to the Senate convince you that
want of knowledge on the part of Mr..
Lorimer Is wholly improbable"
Fleeing Wrath to Come"
Senator Stone referred to the st. Louis
meeting called by Browne, and demand
ed to know 'if the mission Of these men
there was a proper and honest one, why
was there so much secrecy about It; and
after the fear Of exposure came, why
did the participants in these meetings
go scurry1ng about seeking to improvise
some defense against the threatened
danger? Why did Wilson in May, 1910,
after consulting with his stampeded as
sociates, send out letters TO them, dated
back to the before, June 26. 1863, invit-
ing them to meet in st. Louis to dis
banquet? This letter was written and
dated back a year so as to lay a plausi-
BILE foundation for a contemplated lie.
Does not that look as IL those men were
criminals, fleeing from the wrath to
come?'
He took the position that Browne and
Wilson were Lorimer's trusted agents,
and asked II the circumstances of the
cases were sufficient to justify the Sen
ate in holding that Lorimer had no
knowledge Of lat least what was in the
air.
His Reluctant Conviction.
Senator Stone declared that he had
reached his conclusions reluctantly, and
with regret, first, because he found him
self compelled TO disagree with the re-
port of the committee, and, secondly.
because Of a personal regard he had en-
tertained for Mr.. Lorimer. But my
conviction is so pronounced" said Sena-
tor Stone, that no other alternative
seems open to me"

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0Rs THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. It is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in a healthful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the
blood. 1t is only when the circr1la
ton becomes infected with humors
or acids that we are troubled with
skin affections. The humors pro-
ducing these troubles are carried
through the circulation direct to the
skin, and their irritating or inham-
effect remains until the blood
is cleansed. S. S. S. cures Skin Dis
eases, because it is the greatest Of all
blood purifiers. 1t goes into the cir,
