The regular and progressive KopnlilicaiiH co-ojierating Ii a d placed upon tin House Mills a tnend merits which would have made it difficult to bring about an ngreement npon these meas ures in conlerence. and the regu lars, taking advantage of this situation, had arranged among themselves to ti them u; in con ference or t'i allow them, or.ome of them, to be presented to the Presidet't. in such shape as would insure his veto. Senator Sim mons, in ulliance with the pro gressive Republicans, provided tor the removal of these obstac les so that these measures could go up to the President in a form thut would make, a veto less probable. Senator Simmons' . activity in bringing about joint action be tween the Democrats and insur gents in behalf of these tariff re form bills began in the special session ot 1911, and his success has renewed and broadened the scope of the co-operation between these reform forces which had heen temporarily suspended. Among the Democratic Sena tors he stood almost alone in opposition to the Canadian R"-i-iprocity agreement, taking the stand that the provisions of thnt measure were unlair. to the far mers, and would bring no relief to consumers in the way of redu cing the cost of living. Indeed, Mr. Simmons is a man who thinks for himself and has a long head. He comprehends pres ent conditions and is not deterr ed from advocating measures that promise improvements be cause they might require re ad just ment. In 1898 he led in the great po litical contest in this State, over throwing the fusion between the Populist8and Republicans, and two years later he procured the adoption of a suffrage amend ment which ushered in a new era in North Carolina of educational, industrial and social advance ment; ngriculture as well as man ufacturing having b-en greatly improved while social conditions have undergone a notable rcvo lution. In the Senate Mr. Simmons has been the pronouneed advocate of new things that he believed would be to the advantage of the coun try, and has advocated the reg ulation of transportation, the improvement ot waterways, the extentionof the rural delivery, the new featuresengrfted on the work of the Department of Agr i culture, the parcels post, the re striction of immigration to those who can read, and the improve, ment by Federul aid of the coun try hifcl-ways usd by the gov eminent in the transportation ol the mails. His work for waterways has culminated in a provisiou for an inland protected route along the coast by means ol ship canals, and he bus pressed the deepening 1JOOXK. WATAUGA COUNTY. TIIUKSDAY.

His eff irts to establish the Appalach ian park in the mountains of the South Atlantic States were snc cesslul and the government has already secured many thousand acres of mountain land for that desirable purpose: While Mr. Simmons hns laid particular enijihasiH on such measures as effect the material well-being of the people in their ho.nes, h.i has likewise been pro- gressive in his advocacy of legis.

Mr. Simm iiis is a born farmer, and all of his interests and asoir- at ions are with the agricultural classes. He thoroughly under stands the needs of agriculture and nothing affords him more genuine pleasure than to advo cate measures tor its improve ment. But he is also a lawyer, taking rank among the foremost in his State, and thus in the Sea ate he easily holds his own in the debate with the most practiced ol his adversaries. Among Ins most notable speeches that have attracted wide attention are thse o 11 'Ilih Cost of Living" on the ob ligations of the government to ai l in maintaining '"good roads," on the application of I he literacy test to immigrants, and on the metal and wool schedules at the present session.

The speech was a strong deliv erance, and the boldness and courage of the spoakerns hehurl ed his anathemas at Simmons in the face of the friends of the Sen ator, was altogether admirable. With thu exception of the first ten minutes in which the speaker eulogized Woodrow Wilson and Locke Craig, the whole speech was a bitter and relentless tirado ngainsf a man who lor 27 years has been a recognized leader in the public life of North Carolina, un I a fulsome and disgusting tribute tothe fl.Mity, abiiityaud honesty of W. W. Kitchiti. The warm eulogy of the Gov ernor as to the purity of motive of his blameless life, if it h a d come from another, would haye been beautiful; but coming from the lips of the man himself it was slightly out of taste. One could be but leminded of the Pharisee who went un into the temple to pray an 1 who thanked t he Lord that he was virtuous. honorable, truthful, saintly and pure and not like the poor publican by his side who would not so much as lift his eyes to heaven. The whole trend of his speech was destructive. It was an at tempt to rise upon the ruin he had wrought. While there was nothing in what he said that could be fairly construed as per sonal abuse, the culmination and conclusion of it all in the mind of the hearer who did not stop to think it over, was that no trai tor more designing eyer live I in the United States than F. M. Simmons. The speech was not a vote-getterit was exactly the oppo site. Mr. Kitchiu, we dare say, is not as strong in Thomasville as lie was before he delivered h i s speech. The policy he is pursuing can not win out. If Gov. Kitchiu is nominated to the Senate it will be in spite of the speech he is making in this campaign. The Governor boasted that his while banner had never trailed in the dust, and a l through the speech such bombast us this we 1- ketied .ill hes.tid. It was ast raiigi mixture of bitter, unrelenting ha tred toward his opponent ami 01 adulation of himself. To hear him tell it, for the past quarter of a century, William W.
