And the Relation Thereto of Damon
and Pythias, by Senator Stone.

Washington May Ex-senator stone
of missouri. today carried out his pur-
pose of addressing the Senate on .1The
Modern Damon and Pythias' and cor
related subjects pertaining to current
politics.
mir. President he said. ANY man
having even meagre knowledge OF
ancient lore will recall the story oil
Damon and Pythias and the story OF
David and Jonathan. A few years ago
the American people and the civilized
world were given to understand thas
here in our own dear country we HAD
a reproduction of these glorious ira
ditions of the far distant past We
were led To believe that the combined
and consolidated spirit of Damon and
Jonathan had come out of their maven
of rest and taken refuge in the corpus
OF Theodore Roosevelt. and that the
combined spirits of David and PNthlas
had in like manner come to rest on the
ample bosom of William Howard Taft.
Thus, in happy conjunction, both OF
these old stories of ancient lore and
lave were reproduced here in this new
verdi. of ours for the edification ana
upliftiflg of the human race.
= Senator Stone, amid laughter, said 1t

a single thought; two hearts that beat
as one" until .the Shiny and poisonous
serpent of ambition crawled across the
path they were walking and sweryed
them. Both had tasted the bitter sweet
of power and lived it over much. Both
We're tempted and both fell. So, instead
of peace, we have our war" the senator
continued, war with knives, and knives
to the hilt AS a consequence to this fe-
roeious contest the country and the
world have been treated to series of
spectacular vaudeville stunts in politics
without parallel in the history of our
country and which | devoutly hope will
not again be repeated.
Senator Stone referred to Senator La
Follette's participation in the campaign
and continued:
MIR. President. passing over the per-
sonal and party aspects of this miserable
squabble, is il not truly a sad spectacle
we are witnessing? The world famed
Republican leaders have been for months
circling the country. abusing each other
like pickposkets in language akin to the
vernacular of a fish market, or even
something worse The world outside
looks on aghast, and the press and read
ing public OF Europe and of all enlight-
ened nations. everywhere criticize. car
toon, laugh and taunt."
To the amusement of the selpte, Sem
ator Stone read at some length samples
"of the polite exchanges of compliments
among the three Republican candidates.

of propriety.
