HAY REVISE IT
(Uy SHOWAIiTBR.)
WaRhlngton, D. C July 7. "The Re
publican party Is the party of extrav
agance and greed", said Representa
tive Livingstone today, "and every
year witnesses greater extravagance
than Its predecessor. Not so long ago
that party was turned out of power by
the people of the country, largely be
rause it gave us a billion, dollar con
gress. But that day is past. Now
it spends more than four-flfths of a
billion dollars at each session, and Its
appropriations increase from year to
year. It cannot be urged, either, that
the appropriations are in keeping with
the growth of the country, for they
Increase a great deal faster than the
population of the country grows. The
fact Is, that economy is out of the
question with the republicans. They j
pile up a big expense account In order
to Justify their high tariff. Some of
these days, however, things are going
to change. Public sentiment has a
curious way of going to sleep and of a
midden rousing up and demanding an
accounting, and beware its wrath at the
unjust steward! That is want is go
ing to overtake the republicans at no
distant day. The time is about ripe
for that awakening."
Hearst Vs. llailey.
The letter of Villain Randolph
Hearst .charging Senator Joe Hailey
with having refused to wear a dress
suit and afterwards donning the livery
of .Standard Oil is the subject of a
Rrcat deal of angry comment here.
Those who know Mr. Ilailcj; know him
to be-one of the strongest and purest
minded men in the congress of the
United States. No one who has been
around the Capital long would take
the slightest stock in the insinuations
of the New York editor. It Is regarded
here as being the meanest and most
contemptible form of slander. Hut then
that has ever been Hearst's way. That
is his favorite way of replying to an
attack on him. It was the way he
replied to Representative Sullivan of
Massachusetts, it is the weapon he used
when showing his sore too which the
St. Louis convention gave him. It Is
Hearst's way, and there is little need
that it should be copyrighted by him,
for there will be no imitators. It is
safe to say that despite this unmanly
lllng at one of the most manly men in
nil America, Mr. Bailey will still con
tinue to enjoy the respect of the whole
country.
Hit Tillman Pretty Haiti.
Senator Elkins Is not as strong as
a debater as he Is at a conference
table, nnd yet there are times a plenty
in the course of rough and tumble de
bate when he gets in a stralght-from-the-shoukier
blow- One of these occa
sions happened a few days before ad
journment when Senacor Tillman was
on a high horse over the elimination
of the pipe lines from the commodity
amendment to the rate bill. Senator
Elkins had read telegrams from prac
tically every lnuependent oil man in
Vest Virginia, urging that such action
be taken. Senator Tillman declared
that such a course was In the Interest
of Standard Oil and against the in
terest of the independents. "Well,"
rejoined the Vest Virginia senator,
"if the senator from South Carolina
knows more about the oil business and
what wili .be for or against the inter
ests of the Independent operators than
they do themselves, and can show that
he docs, then his counsel ought to be
taken, and I hope it will be; for I am
as earnest in desiring the protection
of the interests of the Independent op
erators as he can possibly be. But the
pitchfork senator did not attempt to
"show" the West Virginia senator, who
literally as well as figuratively is from
Missouri. The contention of the West
Virginia senator was sustained.
Congress Worked Hard.
Yesterday I was talking with Mr.
W. A. Smith, who is in charge of the
Congressional Record office at the cap
Itol. He said that in the eighteen years
he has been In charge .of that office
there has never been such a busy es
sion nor such a great demand for the
printing of speeches.
"This is going to be the greatest cam- j
paign of education in the history of
politics," said ho, "if one is to judge
from the printed speeches that are
being ordered. The most of the mem
bers of the house delivered speeches
on the tariff question, and they arc
having us print them in wholesale lots.
They will broadcast them over their
districts, and the best of them will be
broadcasted over the whole country.
From this It is evident that the poli
ticians have fieen the handwriting on
the wall and that they are preparing
to fight the battle out along that line.
It is believed by the unbiased observ
ers of the political game as It is played
that this gives the democratic party
the best issue It could have at this
lime."
As I stated in a previous letter there
Is a probability that President Roose
velt will gel Into the campaign at
the last moment and say that he wants
the tariff revised. Since I stated in
that letter that I had it on the au
thority of one who knew, that the
president hnd scratched out the para
graph in his last annual message rec-1
ommending tariff revision. I have had;
that statement confirmed by two other j
prominent men. If ho should jump intoi
The Best Guaranty of Merit

Every bottle of Dr. Tierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y., has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering Into its composition. This tact
alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi
cines in a cUixx all hi themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe thorn and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the Ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
.The further fact that neither Dr.
Pierce's (iolden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver mvigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription' for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entitles them
to a placo all by themselves.
Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is a better solvent mid preserv
ative of the medicinal principles resid
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi
cinal plants than is alcohol; and. further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antil'erment.
Neither r,f tho above medicines con
tains alcohol, or anv harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at tho formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safo to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe tho
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
tho mast intelligent people employ them
people wljo would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering Into the com
position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has
tho strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers- of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such iinifexuhnud endorsement.

WORK OF THE CTIi REPORTER,
What the City Editor Got in a Fire
Report.
The angels of night had spread their
ebony wings over the vast city, and a
stillness as deep and profound as that
which envelops the starlit, trackless
prairie was brooding o'er the red-tiled
cottages of Klmberly Crescent, wherein
the weary workers, worn out by their
herculean labors, were snatching an
all too brief interval of repose on the
swarmed into the streets and focused
their dilating eyes upon a dazzling
effulgence In the skies the crimson lus
ter of which made It all too awfully
evident that a conflagration of unpre
cedented fury was raging in the near
vicinity.
Like a flotilla of fishing boats swept
irresistibly on before a mighty, rush
lug tidal wave, the crowd surged in a
conglomerate, inextricable mass to the
precise locality, where the fire demon
held maniacal sway, and a wail, re
sembling the cry of a lost soul shut
out of Paradise, filtered through their
lips as they discerned the form of a
wondrously beautiful maiden, clad in
an exquisitely chaste robe do nuit,
peering with the eyes ot a startled
fawn from one of the upper windows
of the burning domicile.
"Merciful heavens, she will perish!"
vociferated the crowd In cyclonic cho
rus. "For pity's sake, save her!" And,
as If in providential answer to this
clamorous appeal, the fire engine thun
dered like a rampant monster of the
antediluvian period down the congested
thoroughfare, and a tumult of cheering
that seemed to cleave the heavens in
twain greeted the appearance of an
intrepid young fireman of Titaiiic pro
portions who had reared an elongated
ladder against the side of the burning
edifice and was bounding up with the
strides of a Colossus to the rescue of
the distressed damsel.
With what a dazzling luminosity did
the pellucid orbs o the prepossessing
young lady light up when she descried
amid the asphyxiant smoke the form
of her Indomitable deliverer! And
what a mighty fusillade of eeslatie
shouts burst from the leather-lined
lungs of tho marveling multitude as
the valiant fireman's ux shivered the
window framel Instantly a dense ex
halation of volcanic vapor volleyed
forth with Vcsuvian velocity, but the
impcrturbnle fireman leaped imo the
red-hot furnace of rlame with invul
nerability of a salamander, and when
he reappeared he held In his charred
ind blackened arms -something which,
but for an occasional eel-like wriggle,
and a characteristically feminine anx
iety concerning the symmetry of its
back hair, might have been niisiaken
for a marble statue.
For a moment the magnificent figure
of the lion-hearted rescuer poised itself
in an eye-blinking flume of '.lire, on
the scorched window sill, then, enfold
ing his fair burden in a giani -like, yet
infinitely tender, embrace, -he inaile a
breath-suspending dive into tin- yawn

soon, for, simultaneously with his pre
cipitous passage into safety, a gor

PROI5LEM PRESENTED l!V
BREAKFAST FOOD AM) PTE.
- Tho death of Henry 1). Perky, ' tho
champion of vegetarianism, recalls the
terrible indictment he brought against
pie as a disturber of the harmony that
should prevail in our midsl. His in
dictment is thus succinctly staled -by
u contemporary:
"When the New York vegetarian so
ciety celebrated Thanksgiving day in
1900 Air. Perky made an address, in
which he said that the diet -of the Pil
grim Fathers was so poor that it made
them and their descendants stingy;
that they lived for generations on pie,
doughnuts and cake, sold .their slaves
because slaveholding was not profit
able in the 'pie belt,' and then, out of
pure meanness, caused by a pie diet,
did not want the residents of the
southern states to have slaves. Hence
the war."
It must not be forgotten that this
arraignment of pie was made by a
man who made a great fortune In the
manufacture of breakfast foods. There
has not been time enough since the
introduction of these foods to estimate
accurately their effect upon the con
science ot the Aniericun people, but it
must be admitted that damaging alle
gations have been made against them.
Eaters of pie, curiously enough, are
usually the most bitter accusers of
breakfast foods. The Post, with proper
conservatism, refuses to take sides in
this controversy until it has ascer
tained the whole truth. An irrepress
ible conllict is at hand, and we don't
propose to lie on the wrong side If w;
can help it.
In tho pursuit of information on this
topic a somewhat extended study was
made during the past session of the
diet of senators and .. representatives,
which may shed some light upon ob
scure features of recent famous epis
odes. It was discovered that a most
tenacious and belligerent senator kept
the fires of his wrath burning with
vegetable fuel exclusively, and that
another senator noted for his explosive
temper lunched entirely upon hot
huckleberry pie. This would appear
at first blush to be a case of tweedle
dum and twcodlcdoe; but it is far from
it. Both foods were vegetable com
pounds,' after all. So that if a man
is controlled by the food he eats, it
is fairly well proved that vegetable
products are responsible for much of
the excitement that has prevailed in
the senate during this session.
Studies in the house of representa
tives led to the same assumption. Take
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, for illustration.
At the very beginning of the meat
panic he announced that he was on ting
his" regular portion' of Chicago meal,
with youthful zest, three times a day.
And where is there a more benevolent,
mild-mnnnon;d, optimistic American
than "I'lieie Joe?" In addition to his
meat - rations, ."ITricle Joe" Has with
faithful devotion consumed at luncheon
a slab, or wedge, or "piece" of pie, thus
responding to th-v- mysterious heredi
tary intluenees .. .which engrossed the
mind of Hawthorne. Yet "Uncle Joe"
lias no trace of stinginess or meanness.
Until he has been converted to vege
tarianism this cult will always have a
lion in its pathway. .
Within the. past few days a: little
more light has been cast upon this
bl;. fling subject by revelations of the
character of food consumed at the
white house. Here, again, the theory
that pie contributes to combati ven.'ss
and aggressiveness is not established.
Pie is not mentioned in the president's
list of what lie eats, and yet his con
tests with congress were waged with
unusual vigor, as the whole world
knows. The belligerent nature of
breukfast. food may have nmde itself
felt there, as in the senate: but here
hard-boiled eggs appear in the equ
ation, and speculation staggers and is
losl. . .
If the department of agriculture is
not too busy with other vital matters,
it-Vhould. make a series of investiga
tions into the nature of breukfast fond
and pie. This is a matter that will
not be settled until it. is settled right.
