CHICKENS COMING HOME.

Fourteen republican senators voted against
the finance committees amendments mcreaS-
ing certain rates on cotton yarns above the
rates in the house bill, and the Springfield,
Mass. Republican observes that they call
it a revolt" If it was revolt and the Re
publican seems to have its doubts, 1t con-
cludes that it is running true to form. In
this instance the revolving senators are
from agricultural districts; cotton yarn isn't
their baby" but they are hot for higher
duties on agricultural products" In other
words. it is the same with tariff bill as
with other matters: it makes a difference
whose OK is gored. IF you complain that in
this tariff making New England is being
Soaked" the Massachusetts, paper remarks,
they retort that the west and the south were
for generation or two soaked by New
England: and there may be something in that.
Our tariff chickens are coming home to
roost." Indeed there is more than little in
that reasoning 1t is individually true that the
west and the south have been soaked for
the benefit of the New England and other
eastern industrial states for at least a gen
Grafton or two. 1t is no more than human
nature though it is not scientific tariff max
ing. when any section undertakes to do some
Soaking" on its own account. 1t will not do
the eastern states any harm to recognize that
some OF the tariff chickens are coming home
to roost" 1t IS long lane that has no turning.
1t emphasizes, however that we need to
change our present methods OF tariff making.

Hanging a Woman in Georgia.

Now the movement to remove disabilities
OF women in Georgia has not reached the
stage where she is believed to be a proper
subject for public execution. The woman and
the gallows do not go we'll together. As Lady

how, Georgians have not reached the point
where they view with equanlmity the eXecu-
ton of female 1t is probable that II the
courts do not intervene the prison board may
give some sort of Communication OF the SEN
tence
The talk has gone way back fifty years
ago. when Susan Eberhart was hanged in
Webster county for the killing of her hus-
band. This was during the administration OF
Hon James NJ. Smith, OF Columbus, the
first governor OF Georgia to be elected by
the people after the war Governor Smith
was very much criticised for letting the law
take its course so few years later, when
Kate Southern was convicted for Stabbing her
rival at a country dance, there was a great
hue and cry and Governor Colquitt revers-
ed this action pardoning the mountain girl
who had been overcome with jealousy when
a young woman tried to vamp her husband
at a social entertainment The sentence OF
death was committed to life Imprisonment
and the young woman, Kate Southern, after
serving four years in the penitentiary, was
pardoned. Considerable sympathy was
pressed for her at the time The case of Mrs.
Vnson, OF Atlanta, seems to have been
very aggravated one, but, all the same, the
prediction is made that she will not swing
for her offense.
This recalls the remark Of western edi-
tor, who asked why it was that a woman
who usually failed to hit barn door always
shoots straight when she finds it necessary

A SENATE INCIDENT.

! An incident in the senate the other day
that is not at all to the discredit OF the SEN
ators participating illustrates the feeling that
senators have towards each other.
Senator Shields, democrat, took occasion
during the tariff discussion to refer to the
absence of Senator Reed and to express his
admiration for him as a fearless and able
man. Senator Simmons, also a democrat,
spoke to the same effect, and then, to the
astonishment OF the senate, Senator Smoot,
republican, added his tribute to those OF his
democratic colleagues. IF there is one thing
that | admire above all else in a public man,
said Senator Smoot 1T is courage, honesty
and the ability and willingness to express
what is actually in his heart. | know Of no
man | have served with in the senate who
has followed that course more than Senator
Reed" Senator King, democrat then testi-
fed to the worth OF Senator Reeds services
in the senate, bringing to a close what is de-
clared to be an incident unprecedented in
senate history.
Readers will remember that Breckenridge
Long, third assistant secretary OF state in
President Wilson's cabinet, contested with
Senator Reed for the nomination in the pri-
mary in Missouri Tuesday, and that Mr.. Will
son took personal hand in the contest, in
spired by his desire to bring about Senator
Reeds defeat The esteem in which the Mis-
souri, senator is held by his associates in the
senate and the high regard they have for
his abilities are calculated to raise serious
doubt as to whether he is as black as he
has been painted by his political enemies
