nR. eLYTHE's ATTACK ON sENA-
TOR BAILEY.

TOR BAILEY.
Just IN which group ol Senator
Bailey enemies Mr. Samuel @.
Blythe and the Saturday Evening
Post belong. perhaps subsaqueHt
events may tell ], may bc put down
for certain that neither Blythe nor
the Saturday Evening Post has gone
into the nuckrak.ng business casual
ly. II Is new occupation for toth.
Mr. Blythe attempts an analysis Of
Senator Bai!ey's intellect and charac-
ter and a review Of his congressional
service Of twenty years. and his
mOiye is 70 show that Senator
Bailey - not a statesman or student
Of political economy, but merely an
orator Of parts. He mentions Sena'
tor Bailey's notable speeches and ad'
mltB they we're great speeches. lie
says they we're universally referred
to as great, but he asserts they were
hisfriOnic rather than argumeniatlye.
Mr Blythe does no; analyze tho
speeches or point ou, the weakness
which he now declares was robed in
compelling eloquence He merely as
serts they were not argumentative,
leaving the public to accept, II 1t

time that the public itself has been
accustomed TO Judge Senator Bailey's

Quite a number OF people have be.

name during the several years he
has been connected wi,h the Satur-
day Evening Post. He has written
much light aud gossiry stun for that
periodical and for the most part in a
pleasing way But comparatively
few people know that Mr. Blythe was
for number of years the CHIEF of
the New York Worlds bureau in
Washington and during that time he
wrote much Of a highly commend

OF Bailcy's auditors whenever Il was

The feasibility of the projects was con.
sidered from an engineering and eco

consideration to the character of the
projects, whether international, inter-
state or intrastate, the relative amounts
of public and private lands capable of
irrigation, the money already expend-

What is the first thing you demand
In a youngster?" Connie Mack was
asked.
Speed" replied Mack. Double
plays are what lose you your games.
A slow man gets doubled up at first.
The only excuse for having a slow
.man-unless he's a f1rst-class pitcher
or a splendid catcher-is that he can
play the hit-and-run. If he can't sig
nal to the base-runner and then con-
meet with the ball, he will hit into a
double play-and there goes your

"And next to speed it is baseball

Yes replied Mack, with some
