WILSON READY
 TO FACE SENATE
President Won't Accept "Hot Weather" as Plea for Delay
 in Tariff Legislation
If Senators W6n't Act on Tariff He'll Give Them Problems
 in Currency
@ Our Special Corres.)

Trust lobby and the other lObbies be-
 heve that they are going to wear out
 the present administration by keep
 ing the tariff bill in the air for several
 months. until the Senate cries that it's
 too hot to legislate, and adjourns they are undoubtedly going to be mistaken
 They say that no other president has been able to keep the great Senate in session during the month of August But they forget that the present ad-
 ninfstration Is one where precedent does not count.
 Just to show the Repuhaican and Sugar Trust gang that he is twice as game as they are the President will come up to the Capitol next Monday and read his message on Currency Re form. and that will mean another job for the August Senate to tackle this
 summer. and if they do not hurry up with the tariff the President may put them to work on something else so
 that they will earn their money.
 All of the Senators know that what the country wants is the tariff out of the way at once. and the Republican reactionaries, and the Sugar crowd under the control of Mormon Srnoot, and others hope to cause 8 little un- rest for the admin istration, and make as much political capital as possible by putting all of the logs it possibly can in the way Of the tariff legis1a- ton. They even hope to use the hot weather as an excuse to put off the finishing Of the tariff bill, but the trot-
 ting out of the Currency bill by the President has somewhat baffled the crowd who hoped to see the Senate adjourn and leave the tariff on the shelf until Fall Although the Presi- dent has not used the words of Gen. Grant his action in the Currency mat ters seems to carry with 1t the uIti- matum on the tariff Questions-s'We will flight 1t out on these Hines if 1t takes all Fl~sumnner.''
 Another phase Of the situation that the sugar trust, the importers, and others who are shouting against the biN find that they have to contend with Is 6he fact that the present Sem ate is made up Of the last batch of members who will be selected by the old fueda1 and doughbag systems The 1 next crowd will be elected by the peo- ple and for the first time in the his tory of the country the Senate in 1 making a tariff will be directly an It looks as though a great many of | them would be willing to stay all sum- mer rather than face the music at the l ballot box if they do not stay.
 But what has a Senator to fear in staying in Washington all summer? Each one has two large cool offices, leather couches. soft leather chairs, electric fans and there is an under ground railroad to run them to the Capitol if the sun is to hot for them to pass over the mall.
 They have fine restaurants, baths, and plenty of attendants on the job, and many a man in a Hartford fac tory would go to Washington this sum mer if he could have George F. Mo Leans offices to use, and all the per quisites of the Senator.
 This Senate Is going to lind that it
  tration has a man at the White House who does not mind the hot weatherI at all, and who is not in the least ruff1ed by the Sugar Trust gang

But in addition to this each of the Senators , md Representatives have a few of the maps to their credit, and any of the 2 i'd soldiers or their friends who want hem will probably be able to get them without cost as long as the supply aEta. by writing to their Senator or member of Congress.
