they tried too much for one days
dOings. There was plenty to
keep them busy and there are
a lot of tired Carsonites today as
a result. That there was some
thing doing and more in sight
is evinced by the fact that a
number Of Carson boys are yet on
the hill in the endeavor to take
it all in. just when they will re-

WHAT IS DEMOCRATIC AlM7

The country gets but a vague i'm
preston of what the Democratic ma
jcrity in the House is driving at. This
Is owing 10 the "pop-gun" plan o.
passing tariff bills. The country ha,
heard i'm a way that a steel bill. a SUI
gar bin and wool bill have passed
and that cotton bill. and an
excise bill are pending. II is not sur,
whether these bills are seriously
meant, or whether they are just po-
litical bills thrown out on the eve OF a
campaign to put the Senate and presi-
dent in a hole.
AS far as their becoming laws Is
concerned. the possibility seems re-
mote. The cotton, wool and farmers
free list bills were passed at the last
session because Senator La Toilette
took the lead in conference and the
Democrats compromised away nearly
all the differences between the parties
on the tariff The Progressive sena-
tors have shown little disposition to
tie up with the Democrats this year,
unless Senator Cummlns' appeal TO
revise the Tariff Board may be taken
as an advance on the part Of the Pro-
gressives
It will strike the country that If
there is a good reason for revising the
there is-the statesman
ought 70 get together and revise it, or
Else agree to leave the job to the next
session. the Tariff Board to bring in
a comprehensive report in the mean
lime This would seem the most prac-
teal suggestion. but as it contains the
east politics and requires that several
statesmen admit that they
ire on the wrong scent. it is unlikely
o be adopted.
The next best thing would be an
lonest effort on the part of the two
Houses OF Congress to get together on
/ budget which will include both rev.
nue. TO be raised and the amounts to
,e expended. The present method of
irving at the subject can do the coun-
~ no good and may do it great harm. |

NEWSPAPER INACCURACIES,

People who complain Of the inaccur-
acics of newspapers may DE helped a
little by the reflection that newspapers
are the only business enterprises that
attempt 10 deal exclusively in facts.
TO obtain these facts their represen-
tatives must depend upon human be-
ings, who are not infallible. Newspa-
pcrs are compelled 20 accept descrip-
tions and statements OF witnesses
or many occurrences. not many Of
whom will ever agree as to what ac-
tually did happen.
When We consider that truth is more
elusive than fortune and that the
greatest labors and expenditures OF
newspapers are always in pursuit Of
