The bill was being read and discussed under the five minutes rule. General dis cussion had been closed the previous aft ernoou. Under the five minutes rule any man had the right to offer amend ment and discuss it for five minutes With unanimous consent of the House he was allowed to proceed for an additional five minutes Others could discuss the same or other amendments for the same length of time. Members who de- sired to introduce no amendments would move To strike out the last word.'
 This is. simply parliamentary excuse to get the floor and make a speech. Sometimes such speeches had no refer ence to the paragraph under discussion but Was directed to some feature of the general bill or legislation. The re- publicans took such occasions to abuse the democrats and their tariff revision programme and methods. At the end of their five or ten minutes most of the members ask for leave to extend their remarks in the Record. In this way they get into the Record long speeches for campaign purposes for home consump- ton.

During those long F hours of debate two men were never at any time beyond earshot of their seats They were Ma jority Leader Underwood and Minority Leader Mann. If they had a bite to eat they must have taken it in capsules. at their desks
 Yet at the stroke of midnight MT. Un- derwood rose smiling and chipper from his seat as if nothing unusual had hap pened. He was as bright and unruffled as when the barber turned him from his chair early in the morning. And yet he had done a bigger days work than most any man who tolls for his bread.

try. He is in his glory in such a contest. MT. Mann wades into it like hungry boy at a piefest. 1t beats a game of foot ball to watch them. And just think, II lasted for F long hours last Saturday.
 Of course everybody knew beforehand that MT. Underwood was bound to win. He carried out his programme without a pebble but there were hundreds of chances for him to pebble in a political sense. But that confident smile, his perfect knowledge of what he was about aud his marvellous readiness in debate fortl- fled him against all breakers.
 MT. Underwood was charged with ap- plying the gag rule to the proceedines. He did apply the gag rule. but he tein- pered it with such mercy and generosity that it left no sting and gives no room for just criticism. The gag rule in the sense that the majority party must carry through the programme for which 1t IS to be held responsible is right and neees- sary. 1t could be no other way Fhe republicans used the same rule, but with out mercy or generosity.

Many speeches supposed to have been delivered in five minutes on the floor Saturday will cover several pages in the Record. Actual delivery in many eases would have required an hour or more. But the folks back home will never know.
 It is safe to say that the Record of Saturdays proceedings will carry ma terial that would have required a full weeks term of the Congress to have actually have delivered on the floor But it is all good campaign stuff. pre- pared in the leisure of office medita- tien and deliberation.
 But the democrats had the same op- portunity and made use of it in the same way. One party has no advantage over the ether in this privilege and advan- tage and neither neglects the opportunity

Congressman Longworth of Ohio was on the floor speaking. It was the first time during the day that he had butted into the game, though he had been there continuously. After consuming his five minutes he asked unanimous consent to continue for five more minutes The five minutes would have carried him past midnight MT. Underwood called the game. He did not want to continue into Sunday Only one paragraph remained to be considered. MT. Longworth would be allowed to continue his remarks Mon day morning. Everybody was willing.
 InCeed Leader Mann on the republican sido had made an effort to secure ad- journment to Monday late in the after noon. He had again suggested it early in the night but Mir Underwood had stood firm in his determination to finish the schedule that night if possible. He hurried debate but gave all reasonable time to full discussion. He was far more liberal than had been the republicans when they were in full control of the House.

Aside from the partisan contest the parliamentary struggle reaches it's great est perfection in such a discussion under the five minutes ratle. The leaders in such contest must be exceptionally well equipped. There must be no hesitation. Weakness spells defeat. Everything may be lost in one minutes hesitation or one misstep. There is something doing in parliamentary struggle for advantage every minute. If it doesn't happen you are all the time expecting it to happen That is why MT. Underwood and Mr. Mann lasted.

LAST SATURDAY
 AN EVENTFUL DAY How Underwood and Mann
 Endured the Strain FOR TWELVE HOURS Debate on Steel Schedule Was Not Ended Until Midnight-Tactics
 of the Leaders in the House
 of Representative
FOR TWELVE HOURS
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, January 30.-6SpeciaD.- For 12 long hours last Saturday I sat in the press gallery overlooking the chamber of the House Of Representa- tives and watched every move during the long debate on the steel and Iron tariff schedule. There was not dull minute in the 12 hours. I slipped down. stairs for not more than 10 minutes to snatch cup of coffe and sand wich. At midnight I went home tired and hungry. So did hundreds of others, newspaper men, members of Congress and officers of the House.
 It was the longest, hardest days work during the present session. Such ses- sions are usually relieved with a dinner hour and a breathing spell but there was no hint of hesitation till the clock indi- cated the hour of midnight.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-31

The fea ure of the tariff that makes the question the great issue that it was strongly developed during their discus sion.
 Every man who had an amendment to introduce to the bill exhibited the sore place in his particular community For instance, the Colorado democrats kicked on the proposed revision of the zinc and ccrper tariff They were interested in zinc and copper Pennsylvania repubi- cans kicked on the reduction of steel, iron and ore for more than party req sons. A member from New York who had formerly been interested in the manufacture of knives and other cut lery protested against the reduction of duties on these articles. He had got the habit. lie announced that he had ue longer any personal interest in the manufacture but he evidently had not got out of the habit
 So it is in all the schedules and all the features of the tariff You can all ways touch the local pulse as reflected in the various members from affected zones. This Is why the tariff question will never be settled as long az the sys- tenn of collecting tariff duties prevails.
 Tariff interest is really bigger than any party interest and this personal in- terest can never be eliminated until our public servants are really patriotic
 In this respect l wish to say that MT, Underwood was more than once com mended by republicans for his unsel- fishness and his party loyalty in contend- ing for a reduction of duties on a com modity in which he is admittedly inter- ested. Ex-Speaker Cannon was espe- cialiy complimentary of Mir. Underwood's & stand.

AN INMATE OF
COUNTY JAIL
IS ARRESTED
Q. p. eERELDs, NOW SERVING
FOUR YEAR TERM IN THE
COUNTY, Is TAKEN INTO GUS
toby BY POLICE ON SEVEN
CHARGES.

Seven charges were docketed at the
police station against G. P. Gerelds, a
negro, who is already a county pris-
oner, but who was arrested last night
by Capt. billiard and Officer Bruno.
The charges against "a. P" as he is
known, are disorderly conduct, threa-
teing, cursing and using obscene Ian
guage, fighting and assault. 1t Is
probable that more charges have been
made against him if the blank on the
warrant and affidavit had been larger.
@. p" is serving a four year SEN
tence in The county jail, but for some
time has been trusty. He was in
the neighborhood of the depot when
he got into trouble. The first of his
trouble was caused by a fight he had
with woman, in which he assaulted
her with bottle Then when the Of
fcers arrested him, he is charged with
cursing and threatening them.
There are number of witnesses
against him.

conversation with the Wisconsin
senator.
Senator Reed is considering a pro-
posal to have the investigating com
mittee look into contributions to the
campaign funds of candidates for the
presidential nomination this year and
also their expenditures. He expects
to offer a resolution broad enough to
reach all the primary and pre-con-
vention campaign funds.
WILL RENEW HEARINGS.
Seeming new trails of contribution
to campaigns from Senator Penrose's
sensational speech of yesterday, the
senate committee inquiring into the
political funds of 1904 and 1908 is
planning to renew hearings at once.
Chairman Clapp explained his desire
to go on, and at the same time con-
fessed some reluctance to do SO with
out the presence of Democratic sena-
tors at the hearing. The two Demo-
cratic members, Senators Luke Lea
and Paynter, are both away and had
not expected to return to Washington
until late next fall. kilograms were
sent to the two Democrats, asking
them to return at once or have Sena-
tor Dillingham; designate some one to
