Senator John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi comes right out and says
what he thinks when he becomes
aroused by debate that takes place in
the senate. Recently there had been
more or less comment on what the
country was suffering on account Of
the war. After listening some time
the Mississippi senator "cut loose"
and said what he thought. In the
course Of his remarks he made this
statement:
People suffering on account of the
war! Labor suffering Labor never
had as much money In the life Of the
world. here or anywhere else Farm
ers suTeringi They never made as
much money out OF their cattle and
corn and oats and wheat and cotton
and hogs since agriculture came into
existence. here or anywhere else, as
they are making now"

THE secretary Of state is pretty
busy" remarked Senator Norris OF
Nebraska, but as compared with the
burdens which have been placed by
law upon the shoulders of the secre-
tary of the treasury, the burdens of
the secretary Of state are infinitesi-

Further sicag in the discussion Nor
ris remarked that the secretary of the
treasury was having his own way and
motion TO change a provision In a
pending bin could not prevail. "he-
cause we have got into the habit Of

ury, and l suppose that we will con-
tinue along that line"

Daniels Not Glad Baker Put Up His

BY ARTHUR W. DUNN.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from the talk
that is heard around the halls of con-
gress, both parties are approaching the
congressional campaign this year with
some trepidation and great deal of
uncertainty. Everything like IA poll
teal straw is considered carefully and
the results of any election analysed
with particular care. The elections in
four districts in New York received
the attention of the politicians and
both sides tried to see whether there
was any comfort for them as fore
cast of what the people might do next
November when the entire congress is
to be elected. And strange to say,
neither side claimed very much comfort
out of it. The Democrats elected four
Democrats TO succeed Democrats. al
though 1t was said that one district
might possibly have been considered
Republican on account of boundary
changes. Had the Republicans car
ried that district or any other they
would have considered it a very favor

Eulogies OF dead members of con-
gress are a good deal of farce. In
the honse they are held on SUNDAYS
with few people in the galleries and
sometimes not more than a half dozen
members Of the house present. The
ceremonies are usually slurred over
and sometimes the members VINO ap-
pear 10 have addressed the house were
not even on the floor. And yet there
are occasions when those euloges
bring out interesting facts. Such was
the case in regard TO the late Eben-
eyer J. Hill of Connecticut. Although
very few members eulogized him, the
character OF the men who participated
showed That he had won high place
i'm the house of representatives. Speak

North Carolina, Minority Leader Mann

Hlll. said: "If we except the gentle
man from Illinois. Mr.. Mann, the In
comparable minority leader, I doubt
II any other man in the house in the,
last fifteen years was as tireless
worker or as diligent a student of legls-
latiOn as Mr.. HILL"

that the chief of the bureau shall re-

been behind this scheme all these years

chance of getting II through congress.

Power and responsibility change
the point Of view of statesmen az we'll
as of politicians. II was former
Speaker Reed who told the Democrats
upon the eve Of their assumption Of
full control of the government in 1898
that they would find themselves con
fronted with the eternal verities"
and that they could not manage the
government along the lines which they
had advocated when they were the
minority party. II IS not strange that
the Democratic party, particularly I'M
der the stress Of q great war has
greatly modified its attitude In one
very important particular. The view
Of the majority In regard 'r rights
of states has considerably al cred.
Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey called attention to this change and
said that II was remarkable how the
two parties have changed Sides" and
that the Democrats were for central
lied power and the Republicans for
states rights. This fact has been
demonstrated on several occasions
during consideration of measures
which have granted more power 10 the
national administration and. as a con-
sequence taken from the states con
siderable portion of the power which
they heretofore possessed.
vice President Marshall. In COM
menting upon this feature, SAID IT
was natural that the party IN power
should be drawn to and centralized
around the national government and
that the party out of power should
make its stand for the rights Of the
States and against Capitalization.

Changed conditions in the Southern
states as regards agriculture came up
for comment during consideration Of
the agricultural appropriation bill. and
1t was pointed out that the South was
nov self-supportiug in the way of rails
ing foods while only short time ago
1t had to buy a large quantity of its
foods from the North and West. The
time was In the South when they had
/ three great staples, cotton. cane and
tobacco, and regarded other ngricul-
| turai products as rather incidental
But now the South produces wheat,
corn. potatoes, vegetables and fruits.
and in the meat line, cattle, hogs and
chickens.
During the discussion Senator WI
liams of Mississippi gave as one rea-
son FOR the change the Offering Of
prizes at county fairs, and gave indl-
vidual Instances of how corn clubs
had been organized and boys had been
engaged In intensive farming. While
That has helped some, the real reason
for the changed agricultural conditions
in the South, IL was brought out, is
the failure of some crops. the POSSIBLE
ity of losses on staples. and the propa-
ganda which has been carried on by the
agricultural department for many
years pointing out the advantages of
diversified farming. and also showing
Southern farmers that their soil were
good for something besides few
standard products.

Several years ago there happened
to be severe criticism in the public
press upon one cabinet officer Then,
suddenly, another cabinet officer was
the shining mark of those who write
and speak and say things about admin
istrations The man who had been so
severely criticized came into a cabinet
meeting, smiling and seemingly well
pleased with everything. He went up
to his cabinet colleague and shook his
hand.
Mr.. Secretary" said he, "allOw
me to thank you from the bottom of
my heart for erecting your lightning
rod"
Everybody enjoyed the joke. Secre-
tary Daniels. who had been target
for at least four years. or until he
demonstrated that he had the navy
in proper fighting trim, was asked II
ne was not pleased because Secretary
Baker had recently run up light
ming rod" and was catching the shafts
and bolts which were formerly direct
ed toward the navy.
"No." said Daniels, because ] think
that this criticism of Baker is unjust.
Besides" he added with a twinkle in
his eye. you see I had got used to It."
