Senator LUillidn7s as q Debdter
BY Mark JuiiiDdn in Golfers

The bulk of the most effective fight
ing against the Wilson Underwood Tar
if bill is done by Senator Reed Smoot,
Utah. Senator Shoots long formal
speech closed with this ringing dec
laration of faith:
Il have visited the leading indus
trial countries of the world. | have
seen there the value placed upon hui
man labor. | have seen the poverty,
the squalor, and suffering to which
the laborer is subjected / have seen
the effect of such upon the men,
women, and children of those coun-
tries, and l have made vow that no
act of mine shall ever place an Amer
lean workman in the position of hav-
ing to compete with such conditions.
There is only one way to prevent it,
and that is by a protective tariff, and
therefore have been, and am still, a
protectionist without qualification"
This is the old-time Standpater cry.
But it would be a mistake to conclude
that Senator Smoot is merely a stupid
Standpater. His speeches, as well as
his sharpshooting in debate, show
hard work and plenty of study. His
persistence in opposition was cleverly
described by Senator John Sharp Will
hams of Mississippi. A large part of
what was said is worth quoting here
because it is typical of the very best
political debate now available in the
United States
Mr.. Williams-Mr. President, | am
somewhat accustomed to the quiet as
sumption of my friend, the Senator
from Utah, that people who hold diff
ferent views from his do not know
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-08-05

anything about the subject under dis
cussion, or much of anything else; but
| 1t has become such a habit of thought
with him that | am not always in
clined to believe that it is conclusive
thing.
Mr.. President, | did not intend to
break into this discussion. l
simply could not resist when | saw
the confidence, the aplomb, the nom
chalance, the intellectual certainty of
my friend, the Senator from Utah (Mr.
Smoot. 1t reminds me a title of
what Lord Mansfield said about Thorn
as Darlington Macaulay. He said: IF
| were as cocksure of one thing in the
world as Thomas Darlington Macaulay
is of everything | would be the hap
piest man of my acquaintance The
Senator must get over the idea that
people who differ with him do not
know anything. For the most part
they do not, but it is not because they
differ from him; it is because for the
most part, humanity does not know
much anyway Very few of us do, and
| will frankly confess that after a
study of this tariff question the more
we study it the greater our conscious
ness of our ignorance grows. If the
Senator from Utah is not prepared to
confess that, | am so far as | am con-
cerned. Let us not be too sure now
of our intellectual superiority to one
another.
Next, perhaps, to the distinguished
ex-senator from Rhode Island, Mr.. AL
drich, the Senator from Utah had more
to do with fixing these protective tar
itfs than any man of that Con-

gress. Now his soul is distressed be-
cause he is afraid that what he taxed
at $50 per cent may possibly, under a
Democratic tariff bill, be taxed at 20
per cent. can readily understand
why | should feel distressed, but |
confess do not understand why the
Senator from Utah should feel dis
tressed.
"Of course we expected senators
upon that side, and especially the Sen
ator from Utah, to quarrel with what
ever we did. 1t would not have made
any difference what we did, we could
not have gotten the vote of the Sena-
tor from Utah because our
viewpoints are entirely different. In
other words, you came in prepared to
quarrel with us. You came in pre-
pared to criticize and to cudgel us as
far as you could.
Il am reminded of a story | heard
some time ago. A friend of mine says
it is a true story. He said he was
walking down the street in Louisville,
KY, and he noticed a man in front of
him taking up the sidewalk; and as
he took it up on both sides he noticed
that the man was violently gesticulat-
ing. Just as he came up to the man
my friend heard him utter these
words: I'm going home to lunch. If
lunch amt ready, I'm going to raise
Cain; and if lunch is ready, | won't
eat dad-bamed bite of it,
80 the Senator from Utah, like the
man who was prepared to quarrel with
his wife anyhow, because he knew his
wife ought to quarrel with him, is
prepared to quarrel with us anyhow,
because he feels we ought to be quar-
reling with the present law, but he
has studiously diverted attention from
the present law in the entire discus
sion. We find him quarreling when
we reduce duty; we find him quarrel
ing when we raise a duty. We find
him crticizing us no matter what we

his rights as the "all the time friend
of the farmer" Seeming rivalry in
the proposal for controlling the greed

Toward the close of the afternoon
one of the statesmen, feeling somewhat
exasperated, ventured to make mild
protest. He asked:

The lady looked surprised, but not
by any means annoyed.
