JOE" BAILEY. LEADER-The re)oic-
ing Of the Democrats in the Senate that
they had shaken off the self-consttuted
leadership of Senator Bailey, of Texas, Mr..
Bailey Of the Arehbold letters and the
Waters Pierce oil Company fame has been
rudely interrupted Mr.. Bailey's compiacent
party colleagues have awakened TO the TACT
that the Texan with the assistance or SEN
ator La Toilette, has placed himself at the
head Of the little guerilla band or insur-
gents and radical Democrats who now hold
the balance OF power in the Senate oi
course. the apologists for the Wisconsin
Senator have been saying he was the rear
leader OF this band, and that the hgh
minded and progressive Texan was COM
relied purely by the progressive character
of the Wisconsin patriots policies TO De-
tome a convinced II unwilling convert 10
the insurgent movement The untenability
of this contention has been proved, however
and by no others than the Insurgents them-
selves. When Canadian reciprocity was
under consideration. none clamored more
loudly than the insurgents for free trade
In meats and -four. Those products, they
asserted, were controlled 10y those infamous
enemies of the farmers, the packers and
the millers, and every consideration Of jus
tice TO the farmer demanded the adoption
Of an amendment 10 the reciprocity bill add
Ing both products TO the free list. That was

the policy of the Texan. An enthusiastic
protectionist for the products Of Texas and
for the packing industry, he demanded the
retention Of the tariff on both products.
He would even amend the free list bill
passed by his party I'm the House by re-
tanning the duty on -four and meats. Had
senator Bailey been a convert to insureent
policies he might have yielded his conten-
ton. But he was not. The shoe was on
the other foot. Accordingly Mr.. Bailey
was able to go 70 the Democratic caucus
to-day and assure his skeptical brethren
that he he'd converted the insurgents. that
Senator La Toilette and his associates would
do his bidding. and that If the Democrats
would accept the Bailey amendment re-
tanning the duty on meats and -four. he.
Joseph Weldon Bailey. could deliver La

TAFT'S JOKE.--Certain Democrats who

YOU should either Critcise ZIG for not hay-

than the time you set or should insist upon
revision which ignores the important
work which we have more than half com

view Of their vote for the Culberson amend

savings accounts by the middle of
this afternoon.
According to those in close touch
with Keokuk people from banking
standpoint it is not believed that the
deposits in the local savings depart
ment will mount high except in the
case of a panic. People have the
greatest faith in the Keokuk banks
as they stand today. Coupled with
this confidence is the fact that the
government turns right around and
deposits savings with the banks, rep
resenting confidence on it's part.
The new department is being hand
