WORRY ABOUT BRYAN'S POLICY
LECTURE TOURS CAUSE GEN.
AToRS TO WRANGGE.
Fight Begins When BrIstow Insists
on Critieising Cabinet
OFFICER.

Washington, July 21.-Secretar,
Bryan's policy of lecturing in his va
cation time involved the senate in g
bitter controversy. 1t began when
Senator BristoW, ignoring the defeat
Of his resolution directed at Mr.. Bry-
ans action, insisted upon being heard
in severe criticism of the cabinet of
ficer.
Before the debate ended charges
and countercnarges between the SEN
ators on the two sides of the cham
Der had brought the senate to a high
pitch of excitement. Senator Ashurst
produced an old letter of Senator
Bristow, which he declared indicated
that Mr.. Bristow, in 1906, had been
perfectly willing to take a federal pc.
sition and devote only part of his
time to it.
Senator Bristow retorted with the
charge that Senator Ashurst had
spent more than 500 of public funds
sending private kilograms that should
have been paid for from his own
pocket, charge denied by Senator
Ashurst, but which Senator Bristow
agreed to prove by producing orig.
inal kilograms that had been paid for
out of senate funds.
From these personal accusationa
the debate went into the general field
of public lecturing and writing, and
Democratic senators called attention
to the chautauqua platform work OF
Senator Bristow, and many others,
and to the newspaper writing that
Senator Bristow had done during the
last Baltimore convention. The Kan.
sas senator vehemently asserted that
he had never neglected the duties of
his Office.
81 am not on trial here" he said.
"I simply want to show that people
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" Senator James said.
Senators Bristow, Townsend, Fall
and others attacked, in strong Ian,
guage, the action of Secretary Bryan
in delivering paid lectures during a
time when, they claimed, public ques+
tions required his close attention to
the affairs OF the state department.
The Bristow resolution, introduced
Thursday, calling on President Will
son to state what salary will be
sufficient TO secure all of Secretary
Bryan's time, was tabled by vote
of Al to 20, as soon as it came up,
all the Democrats and Senators
Borah and Poindexter opposing it.
A prepared attack upon Secretary
Bryan's action by Senator Townsend
and an extensive defense by Senator
Lewis illumined the oratory of the
day.

From a Washington department
store comes the recital that the presi-
dents daughters were there looking
at gowns recently, and were informed
that charge of two dollars was made
for alterations; whereupon one OF
them responded, "Ch, we can make
any necessary alterations at home;
we know how to sew" The accom-
plishment is one that should be pos
sessed by every woman in the land,
and the fact thai 1t is taught in the
public schools at the present time
shows that there is one respect at
least in which public school authori-
ties respond to the practical need of
the public.

CUMM|NS SURE Of
DEMOCRATIC RUIN
PARTY DISASTER IN TARIFF BILL,
SAYS PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICAN,.
LIKE FATE OF REPUBLICANS
Senator Asserts Tariff Bill is Not
Sane Remedy-Criticise Presi-
dent Wilson for His
Activities.

Washington, July Ex-senator Cum
Minis opening the tariff debate for the
progressive republicans, declared that
the republican party lost the conf
dence of the people and "was d4iven
from power largely because it insisted
upon the maintenance of import
duties, many of which were unneces-
sarily and oppressively high"
Like Disaster for Democrats.
"The Democratic party" he assert
ed, will soon be overtaken with like
disaster because it is about to inflict
upon the country a tariff law which
with respect to many things invites
the perils of free trade, and which
with respect to many others, imposes
duties that are dangerously and de-
structively low and which from end
to end previously discriminates against
the west in favor of the east-that is
to say in favor of the manufacturer
against the farmer.
"The republican craft went down
in the whirlpool of Scylla in 1912 and
it's democratic successor is steering
y
where it will go to pieces in the stress
of 1916.
Passageway of Safety.
There is passageway to safety
and prosperity. The progressive re-
publicans charted it in 1909 and they
will chart it again in 1913. Some time
the American people will make the
trip under these pilots, but in the
meantime we must suffer another
shipwreck, bearing it's hardships, as
hope we will, with patriotism and
fortitude."
Besides pointing out many things
that he considered destructive and en-
tirely unwarranted in the bill, Senator
Cummins criticized the president for
his influence exerted upon members of
congress concerning the tariff bill, an
influence, he said, so persistent and
determined that it became coerciVe."
