His Militant Speech.

Washington. May 3o.-The activi-

nounced in the house today in a
speech bristling with sarcasm deliv-
cred by Representative Fitzgerald.
democrat. of New York. chairman of
the house appropriations committee
Representative Fitzgerald declared
Roosevelt the greatest danger faced
by the republic" and quoted at length
from speech by Abraham Lincoln
to bear out the charge. AS an indica-
ton of Roosevelt's attitude toward
the presidency. Mr.. Fitzgerald pro-
ouced a memorandum prepared when

explored. 1t sees no distinction in
adding story to story upon the monu-
ments of fame erected to the memory
of others.
1T denies that it is glory enough
to serve under any chief. It scorns
to tread in the footsteps of any pre-
decessor. however illustrious. 1t thirsts
and burns for distinction: and il pos

TAFT BOTH OUT
Pictures of Neither One will
Adorn the Republican
Convention Hall.

Chicago. May 3o.-The question OF
what pictures should adorn the re.
publican convention hall was settled
today by Chairman Uppham who de-
cided that neither the likeness OF

ed.
Col. Harry New today received a
request from Senator Dixon for $50
tickets to the convention for the
Roosevelt national committee. New

able to grant the request He ex-
planned that in other conventions the

Fred Uppham are confident that q

Democrats Iron and Steel
Bill as Rider.

Washington May 30.-After devot-
ing the day largely to the considera- :
ton of amendments to the iron and
steel bill. the senate adjourned last

the reciprocity law except the second
section which permits the free ad-
mission of rint paper from Canada.

amendment the appeal of the entire
reciprocity law including the paper
provision. This suggestion was ac-
ceted by Mr.. Gronna who withdrew
his own amendment in its favor. The
effect Of the success of the Gallinger
amendment would have been to re-
store the Payne -Aldrich rate of s375
per ton on print paper and Senator
Cummins declared his unwillingness
to go so far. He then proposed a
rate of So per ton on print paper
which Mr.. Gallinger acceted
The vote on this amendment stood
81 to q.
Senator Cummins stated positively
that II 1t should become a law the
provision would have the effect of
placing a duty Of 81 per ton on pa
per from all other countries as we'll
as on that from Canada.
An amendment by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska reducing the duty
on pig iron to six cents in place Of s
cents as fixed by the mouse was voted

SOCIALIST AcTloNs.

The socialist party is also having
troubles of its own. A factionalism
is developing among the socialists
growing out of an amendment 10 the
party's constitution adopted by the
socialist convention by a vote of 191
10 90 This amendment reads as
follows
Any member OF the party who op-
poses political action or advocates
sabotage or other methods OF vio-
lence as weapon OF the working
class be expelled from membership
OF the party Political action shall
De construed to mean participation
in elections for public office and
practical legislative and adminis
trative work along the lines of the
socialist party platform.
The amendment does not become
effective until 1t is ratified by a ref
erendum vote of the membership of
the party. The difference of view
concerning this amendment makes a
factional division between those
who favor political action" and
those who favor direct action
The direct action policy is com
plicated with those extreme labor
union policies known abroad as
"syndicalism' and represented IN
this country as industrial union
ism"
In the United States there are
three general divisions of the so
dalists representing different poll
cies These are the political social
lists who are yet the dominant ele-
ment of the socialist party. and who
advocate political action only for
the furtherance of their ideas
There are others who are for po-
litical action and also for direct
action" and are united with or
sympathize with the organization
allied the Industrial Workers OF
the World" corresponding to the
syndicalists of Europe and there
are those of the Chicago branch OF
the I w. W. who are for direct
action" exclusively. which includes
in it's policy the sabotage condemned
in the proposed socialist amend
ment, and other revolutionary and
violent methods.
