SCOTT BLANIES WAGGENER
FOR THE CLICK STATUE

Topeka, May 3.-Charles F. Scott
in his lola Register, charges up the
Click statue resolution to Senator
B. P. Waggener. He marvels that
such resolution should pass both
branches of the legislature. Discus
sing the matter, Mr.. Scott says:
"The Hon. Bale Waggener pro.
fessed at the last session of the leg
islature to be very much in favor of
the referendum. If that gentle gull
lotine were at work in Kansas now
and Mr.. Waggener's resolution to
erect the statue Of Governor Click
in Statuary Hall were submitted to
the people under its provisions, it
would not get 10 per cent of the
vote of the state. That such reso-
luton could have passed both houses
of the legislature is nothing less
than amazing and can only be &C.
counted for on the theory that the
Democrats were so ratified by their
unexpected return to power that
they lost their heads
AS If Senator Waggener didn't |
have troubles enough of his own,
Editor Scott wants to inflict him
with others. In an editorial in the
Register he makes this appeal to
mis- newspaper co-workers:
ITO Kansas Exchanges: Whenev-
sr you write anything, or see any
Thing in another paper, scoldihg
lbout the proposition to put a sta
ne of Click in Statuary Hall, send
marked copy of the paper to Hon.
salie Waggener, Atchison. He's the
utility party, and the penalty would
ust about fit the crime"

Tariff Revision Moves Along With.
out Hitch.
DEBATE BECOMES PERSONAL
Politics Features Discussion Of the
Changes in Standardization
Schedule Brought Big
Fight.

Washington. May 3.-The Demo
: cratic majority went ahead with tai
III revision in the house again ia
day without serious hitch. Their
were innumerable amendments EN-
anating from the minority but the,
were voted down with monotonou
regularity. y.
The discussion opened with cit
rus fruits, in the agricultural sche
dule( the Pacific coast growers wag
ing an unsuccessful fight against
cutting off the tariff on lemons
figs, raisins, dried grapes and other
coast products. Efforts to increase
the proposed duty on peanuts to
give better protection to the Vir-
ginia industry also fell through.
The schedule covering spirits,
wines and other beverages went
through without dissent but con-
siderable fight was made by the
representatives of textile districts
when the cotton schedule was
reached.
Many of the speeches really dealt
with the paragraphs of the tariff
under consideration, but general
politics and partisan personalities
featured the debate. Representa-
tive Thomas of Kentucky had few
things to say about the Republicans
personally and the debate for a mo-
ment promised interesting develop
ments, when Republican Leader
Mann, stung by Mr. Thomas refer
ence to him as the bewhiskered gem
tleman from Illinois, retorted that
while 1t was true he was "bewhis-
kered" at least he was not "bewhis-
kied."
Representative Thomas called the
Progressive party patent medi-
cine advertisement scheme," and
criticised Representative Payne of
New York for rejecting on Presi-
dent Wilson because the president
went to New Jersey in connection
with state legislation.
Representative Heflin, of Alabama
declared that people did not realize
hat the real tax on the American
'eople under the present tariff law
vas $2,4OO,OOO.O 900 instead of $780,
100000 Of revenue tax, and ar
aligned the Republican claim that
he law protected the American far
ner and laborer. .s.s..

THOMPSON ASKS SUGAR DUTY
With Five Other Senators Kansan
Conferred with MIR. Wilson.

Washington, May 2.-six Demo.
cratic western senators carried to
President Wilson today their pro-
tests against the tariff bill. The
senators were: Newlands, Cham
berlain, Lane, Thompson, shaffroth
and Walsh. The sugar and wool
schedules were principally under
consideration. Three hours were
given by the president for the con-
ference. Each of the senators ex-
planned his views at length.
Placing sugar on the free fist
would result in the turning of the
Hawaiian Islands over to the Jap
anese, said letter Senator Works
mad read in the senate from the
Episcopal bishop of Honolulu.

Dawson RFUeeeds against Express

al Dawson this morning filed suit
in the Kansas supreme court against
the express companies asking for a
writ of preemptory mandamus to
compel them to comply with pro-
visions of the Mahin law regulating
shipments of intoxicating liquors in

yesterday. Dawson charges that the
express companies have made no
move toward requiring consignees of
liquor shipments to sign affidavits
before delivery that liquors are to
be used for legal purposes, or to
furnish county clerks monthly re-
ports of shipments handled.
Suit was really filed to give the
state courts Jurisdiction of the case

PROF. TAFT. TALKS ON
MODERN GOVERNMENT

New Haven, Conn, May 3.-Prof
William Howard Taft today gave tn,
first of series of lectures at Yale
on Questions of Modern Govern.
ment," in which he declared that
he did not believe the new school
of political thinkers that has sprung
up within the last decade will ulti-
mately triumph.
He said the new school had at
tackled the wisdom of our fathers
and would reject the fundamental
principles of our democratic form
of government as embodied in the
constitution.
Il can not believe" he said, "that
this school of philosophy will tri-
umph ultimately. That it may con-
tain nspme elements of truth and
useful principle, leading to some
changes and amendments in our laws
may he so, but that it is going to
give a radical change in the struc-
ture Of our government and do away
with the fundamental principles I
cannot eblieve."
He discussed at considerable
ength the preamble of the consti-
.ution, dwelling particularly on the
meaning of the words 1--WE, the peo-
,le."
