EVE TEMPTED ADAM WITH
BAlcFLE'rF PEAR, NOT APPLE,

* Hartford Conn. March 4.-That Evc
tcIipted Adam, not with an apple. but
WIN rich. juicy Bartlett pear. was
the view expressed by Geo W. Smith.
OF Melrose. Conn, secretary of the
connecticut horticultural Society in
an address 10 that society this after
noon.
In the opinion OF Smith, Eve might
nave been hunting until the present
uay FOR an apple to use as Il bait and
she would never have succeeded. be-
cause In such a warm climate as that
of the Garden OF Eden. only such fruit
as pears. oranges. pomegranates and
figs could be grown.
History was quoted by Mr.. Smith to
show that the pear originated in West
ern Asia. and that Roman mythology
appropriately dedicated the pear TO
Minerva a 8 tho Goddess Of Wisdom

Therefore It would seem that all ac-
ton taken for the last twenty five
minutes OF the Senete's actual session
is Of questionable constitutional right.
AT least IT raises tho question FOR

Senator Owens additional motive.
1t Is said. for his striking fllihnster
was his fixed intention to force an eN-
ira session. In order that the Demo
cratic party might enact the lcEisla,
ton to which they had been called by
tho people.
II is significant that the last party
expression on the floor or the Senate
was intense assertion OF progress
sive democracy by the Senator from
Oklahoma. 1t was a declaration In
favor Of the initiative, the rcferon-
| dun and the recall, and for tho sub
stance of the Oregon platform. as
amplihed in the Arizona PLATFORM.
II was the announeiGtion OF the new
democracy, which IS just as new TO
that party as insurgency is now to
the Republican party. 1t is notable
that owens chief supporters III his
Wisconsin. and Beveridge. OF In
diana.
This fact makes all the more strik-
ing the startling statement which ran
through the Capitol half an hour after
adjournment that Senator Bailey. OF
Texas. had wired his resignation as
Senator to the Governor OF Texas. and
had asked the Vice President, just be-
fore adjournment, TO announce TO the
Senate that he had done this thing.
Basis OF Resignation.
Bailey came into tho Senate while
the vote was being taken under owens
consent for the Joint admissi ion OF Ari-
IONA and New Mexico and expressed
his profound regre, that he had not
vote was allowed. He declared en-
phatfca!ly that he would vote mo" to
the proposition. 1t Is said now that the
basis OF Boiley's resignation was his
unwillingness TO stand for the type OF
Democracy enumerated by the Senator
from Oklahoma.
The statement Of the Texas Senator's
dramatic resignation set the Senate
and the House in q whirl. The story
Is that Senator Bob Taylor. OF Tennes-
see. rushed Immediately to the tele-
Graph office, on his own authority, TO
rescue and withdraw the message TO
the Governor Of Texas before 1t was
sent
It IS said also that Vice Preside nt
sherman personally pleaded with the
Texas Senator not to take such action.
Other conservative Senators pleaded
with him. Bailey is regarded as the
ablest and most eloquent man in the
Democratic party.
Whatever the outcome, it is from
Democratic standpoint rather a sinister
close TO the SiNty-first Senate that
so sharp and fierce an antagonisn
should have been aroused III its clos
ing hours between two brilliant rep
resentatives of the two divisions Of
