LA FO'.LETTE SCORES TARIFF
BILL.
By Gilson Gardner.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 2.?
"What ?lo 1 think of the tariff?"
Senator\ LaFollette looked at his
viuestioner and was silent. Then he
looked about the room ? his study ?
l>iled with open books, littered with
pamphlets, strewn with corded-up
manuscript aud typewritten copy.
"That's what you think?" was sug
gested. "Volumes?"
He nodded.
"The Aldrich bill is "
"Bad."
"Why? In what respect more than
another?"
**1 can't at the moment think of
any respect in which it isn't bad."
"Which way does it revise ? up or
down?"
"Upward. I have the figures. I
shall make it a matter of mathemat
ical demonstration before this busi
ness is over."
"Isn't that what the people want?"
"Do the people want the burden of
taxation laid more heavily on their
backs?"
"But the people asked a revision
of the tariff, and the republican party
promised that."
"Revision downward. That is
what the people asked. And that is
what the platform makers pretended
they were pledging. And that is
what was ? in fact ? pledged by every
candidate and party man who made
a speiech on this subject. It is non
sense to pretend that this is not
true."
"Then somebody is guilty of bad
faith?"
"Every man who supports the Aid
rich bill is guilty of bad faith."
"But they say the bill will be im
proved In conference."
"I have seen bills 'Improved in con
ference' before. I remember how
Mr. Aldrich. sent the emergency cur
rency act to conference with five
improvements which had been added
in the senate. And 1 remember how
it came back stripped of all of them,
including that for strengthening bank
reserves, and then? in the rush and
urgency of winding up the business
of the seuate ? it was approved. That
l* the Aldrich way."
"You don't think tariff laws should
be made behind closed doors?"
"Nor any other kind of laws. Pub
licity is the one great safeguard to
the people's liberties. I propose to
fight the effort to suppress debate."
"Are there efforts of that sort?"
"There are. Every day the inter
ests which Aldricn represents in the
senate are trying to bring the tariff
matter to the closed-door conference
conference committee stage. They
don't like this talk. Mr. Root sneers
at senators who talk ? 'for home con
sumption." I talk for home consump
tion ? and for the consumption of all
the homes in the I'nited States. The
people ought to understand that they
are being robbed ? that they are being
taxed, though poor, to add to the
swollen fortunes of the idle rich. 1
would like to talk to them until they
understand that they are being fool
ed; that they are being lied to by
Aidrlch; that they are standing like
patient pack mules while the Aid
ilchs, Roots and Gallingers of the
aenate add more pounds to the bur
Cen of taxation ? more dollars to the
poor man's cost of living, more in
equalities between the rich and the
poor, more difficulties to the mar.
who is struggling for his opportunity,
more hours to the workman's day,
more sweat to the farmer's brow,
more penury among the very poor,
moro class hate, more discontent,
more oppression, more government by
the dollar sign, more obeisance before
wealth, more distrust of government,
more danger to the country from that
spirit In the free man which is pa
tient for a long time, but not for
ever."
PURE FOOD.
The Sunday school teacher had told j
us the tale of the wandering host, so
weary and weakened by hunger they j
were ready to give up the ghost;
when lo! in the morning the manna
was spread on the glistening plain,
and the famished and soul weary
pilgrims were filled, and they feasted
agaiu. And Willie, a thin little
shaver, who stood at the foot of the
class, remarked to the teacher: "1
wonder why such things no more1
come to pass? My dad says that !
tlour's so expensive he thinks wej
must cut out the bread, and when I
tell mother I'm hungry, she tells me
to trot off to bed." "I fear," said
the teacher, in sorrow, "that manna
won't fall from the skies, till we fire
all those pure food inspectors who've
grown so exceedingly wise; they'd
gather up samples and send 'em to
Wiley, the analyst man, aud he'd
find benjiggers of soda, and clamp
down the government ban."

We roar all like bears, and mourn
sore like doves: we look for Judge
ment, but there is none: for salva
tion, but It Is far from us ? Isaiah.

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES.
IF sweethearts were sweethearts al- '
ways. .
Whether as malil or wife,
No drop would be half so pleasant
In the mingled draft of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and
blushes
When the wife has frowns and sighs.
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter
For the Klow of the sweetheart's eyes.
It lovers were lovers always.
The same to sweetheart and wife.
Who would change for a future of Eden
The Joys of this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent.
And cares on the anxious brow
Oft replace the sunshine that perished
At the words of tho marriage vow.
Happy Is he whoso sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still.
Whose voice, as of old. can charm him;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance Increase
As the nush of passion Is mellowed
In love's unmeasured peace;
Who sees In the step a lightness.
Who finds In the form a grace,
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face,
Undlmmed and unchanged. Ah. happy
In he. crowned with such n life.
Who drinks the wife, pledging the
sweetheart.
And toasts In the sweetheart the wife!
?Daniel O'Connell.

WHAT THE KIDNEVS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All tile blood lu the body passes
through the kidneys once every tlire i
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood j
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings |
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, I
gravel, disordora of tho oyetight and
1' taring, dizziness irregular heart,!
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
lr tho urine, etc. But if you keep the j
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, J
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me J
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after J
rtmody, I was unable to find relief. |
I had tho most severe pains across:
the small of my back and was alsoj
annoyod by irregular passages of the;
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney!
Pills helped me at onco and continue |
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate ol' Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on|
many occasions."
