CARAWAY AND THE TARIFF

The Congressional Record OF
last Saturday has reading that IS
rich, juicy and rare. We notice
in one instance, however, that .
strong expletive, used by one OF
the be-devilled wool-senatorS, &C
cording to the newspaper reports
is eXpunged from the presumably
verbatim report in the Record
The wool-baronS, like the dyer 5
hand, are apparently subdued to
the nature of the animals which
produce their wealth. Sheep are
proverbially the stupidest OF the
brute creation. And if ever stu
pidity of the crassest kind was eX-
hibited in the United States Sen
ate it was displayed during the
tilt between Caraway Of Arkan-
sas. and a number of his Republi-
can associates from the West last
Friday.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-08-01

Senator Caraway's resolution
demanding an investigation as to
interests held by the senators in
articles affected by the proposed
tariff brought a fierce onslaught
from certain members on the Re
publican side. The duel was highly
interesting if not hilarious. Ii
reminded us of D'Artagnan-at
his best when attacked by num-
berS. Caraway handled a slender
rapier-but it was keen and light
ming in its thruStS. His oppo-
nentS, on the contrary, used the
bludgeon of a country yokel-but
were diSarmed and discounted
all with conSmmate courtesy and
strictest regard for the rules OF
the code.

They resemble the BourbonS of
France, in that they learn moth

The passage of the iniquitous

there no other cause, As one of
the stauncheSt Republican news

worst Congress that the country
