The CTHER SIDE OF SENATOR
JEFF DAVIS.

II is thought that John Sharp Will
liams is the only real humorist in the
United States senate today, but the
following excerpt from a Washington
dispatch illustrates a variety of hu-
NOR that is seldom heard in any body
of men. JEFF Davis of Arkansas has
broken out in new role and the
correspondents tell it this way:
A hush superyened as the cold,
precise, and dignified Senator Lodge.
OF the Bay State, rose from his seat
and sent an amendment to the desk
OF the clerk. 1t was Immediately re-
ported TO the senate, and to the
amazement of Jeff Davis, it read thus:
To add to the free list bill the
following: Rice, cleaned; uncleaned
rice, or rice free of the outer hull
and still having the inner cuticle on ::
rice -four, rice meal and broken rice:
paddy, or rice having the outer hull
on
1t was too much for Jeff. The
honor OF Arkansas was at stake. Swift
and sure he seized the trusty pen of
Ffddling Bob Taylor and wrote an
amendment himself. And the clerk
read:
To add to the free list bill: Bos-
ton baked beans, black beans, string
beans and all other beans, raw, dried,
spit, or parched; also Goldfish. skinned
or unskinned, fresh, sailed, or served
in balls
THE stately senate fell off the
wagon of its dignity and rolled into
the ditch of unseemly mirth. Jeff
Davis grinned in triumph. He had
come back"
jeff deserves credit for injecting a
little humor into the staid and sedate
body of lawmakers. The body needs
a lttle fun now and then, especially
II II is clean and high class. Here
tofore jeff Davis has wasted his
energies on subjects which should
nave been left alone, and his utter

cepted the presidency at their hands
under pledge on behalf of his party to
bring about the downward revision Of
the tariff.
The democrats are trying to dis
charge the obligations which Mr.. Taft
and his party did not. Therefore the
session will not end until some tariff
revision legislation is put through,
or every effort to put it through has
been exhausted. 1t looks now as if
the wool schedule, at least, and per-
haps only that will be passed, in the
line of tariff revision, and, that should
as a matter of fact, be enough for
practical purposes. The democrats of
the house have passed cotton sched-
ule revision, also, but that seems to
be stuck fast in the senate. The
farmers free list, which is a piece
OF political stage play, may get
through to the president, where it
VIII certainly meet veto, for which
no great blame can attach to the
president Whether or not the presi-
dent will veto the wool revision meas
ure remains to be seen, but it is in.
dicated that he will do SO. He ought
not to, and he will not find it easy to
justify such action. He has declared
himself that the present wool sched-
ule is indefensible, and he should
welcome the opportunity given him by
the democrats to revise it. But what
he ought to do and what he will do
are two different things.
The extraordinary session has been
most interesting and gratifying in it's
demonstration of the capacity of the
democrats for constructive legisla-
ton. The party has worked together
admirably and shown high qualities
the possession of which it has been
the FASHION for some to deny. There
has been no immoderate proceeding
on the part of the democrats nor any
undertaking of the impossible nor
even of the unreasonable. The dem
ocrats have borne themselves with
rare understanding and considerable
skill and they have shown that the
country made no mistake in trusting
the initiation of legislation to them.
and they have frightened wonderful
~ the prospects of a complete dem
ocratlc control of the government at
the next national election.
