A TEAM THAT PULLS TOGETHER-

In a speech in reply to Mr Shackleford of Missouri Mr John SharpeWillTams leader of the minority par ¬

ty in the house of representatives-said

I merely wanted a team that couldanti would pull together I am tiredof teams that pull in every directionin the world except together and theDemocratic party is tired of them too

Applause on the Democratic sideWe all know that a team that pulls

together is reliable and can be de ¬

pended upon to do things while onethat bucks and balks and pulls by fitsand jerks is unreliable and gives trou ¬

ble and plenty of itYet who is responsible for the kIn

ocatic team not pulling togetherThere have been factions in the

democratic party ever since the closeof the civil war Some belonged toone wing and some to another yetwhen the party spoke in nationalconvention from the time of Buchan-an

¬

to Cleveland there was no kickingin the tracesthe democratic teamcould always be relied upon to pulltogether in harmony It was onlywhen the faction to which Mr Wil-liams

¬

belongs lost out in Chicago in1896 did the team become unmanaga-ble bid defiance to those in the saddleand kicked completely out of thetraces

Mr Williams and his crowd set theexample of pulling in all directionsexcept the right one and are respon ¬ I

sible for the consequences that havefollowed

Cleveland and his faction Hill andhis faction both bucked but Bryanand the free silver forces which re ¬

ceived the full force of ridicule andabuse set the example of standing upto the rack unflinchingly fodder orno fodder-

If Mr Williams wants to learn alesson along this line and to know who-is responsible for the democratic teambecoming balky and unmanageable-he has only to study the history ofthe convention of 1896

He might point his finger in the di ¬

rection of himself and say as Xathansaid to David

Thou art the man

Christmas-

And the angel said unto them Fearnot for behold I bring you good tid-

ings¬

of great joy which shall be to allpeople

Thus the inspired chronicler Lukesets down the speech of the heaven-ly

¬

messenger to the amazed andtrembling shepherds of Judea twothousand years ago The Star of theNativity blazed in the East The childwas born The climax of all the effort-of all nature was reached From ma¬

terial evolution to spiritual liberty thegreat step had been taken Thereaf-ter

¬

the soul not the body dominated-the destinities of mankind-

For millions of years epochs erasaeonsthe planet had been preparing-for this revelation Slowly withstruggle and with pain life had de¬

veloped from the original protoplasmthrough all the phases of advance ¬

ment up to man Fishes reptilesbirds mammals of the lower sort hadpopulated the globe Then there cameman the latest creation of the Powerthat rules the universe the consum ¬

mate fruit of the series reaching backinto infinity And to man the being-in whom the spiritual and the mater ¬

ial first were combined in equipoise-the Eternal spoke on this day twentycenturies ago

From this point we date the ad-

vancement¬

of the race There werecivilizations before the birth of ChristMore than a slimmer of the naturalrights of men inspired the ancientBabylonian system In the far Eastthere was the Buddhistic cult un ¬

der which the civilization of a teem ¬

ing population has progressed

Hitting Lamar

Without exception the democraticpress of southern cities condemn Con-gressman

¬

Lamar for his play to thegalleries of Florida by open de-

fiance¬

of the democratic leader JohnSharp Williams on the floor of theHouse last week Mr Lamar and MrShackleford had not been renamed asmembers of the committee on inter ¬

state and foreign commerce Thereason assigned by Mr AVilUams fornot naming them was that as mem-

bers¬

of that committee in the formercongress they had refused to supportthe TTIIIOC <iic caucus measure on thesubject of railroad rate legislationThey had placed themselves aboveand superior to party opinion Forthis reason if no other Mr Williams-felt that he was justified in not nam-ing

¬

Mr Lamar and Mr Shacklefordfor this committee of the new con-

gress¬

My brother would have goneoff that committee under the samecircumstances said Mr AVilliams

But Mr Williams seems to be ajudge of men as well as measures Atany rate he seems to have located-Mr Lamar mentally when in compar-ing

¬

him to his great uncle the lateMr Justice L Q C Lamar he saidThis great uncle possessed superb

egotism but he also possessed to con-

secrate¬

it a superb intellect Hedidnt say the nephew was lacking inthe latter quality except by implica ¬

tionMrWilliams action has been ap ¬

proved not alone by the southernpress but by almost the unanimousopinion of members of the minority-side of the HousePalatka Xews

I hope to have the Hillsboroughriver liberally provided for as a great-er

pecially¬

the case since the Panamacanal route was decided upon as Tam ¬

pa is the nearest port to that impor-tant

¬

point Tampa today occupies animportant place in the eyes of thecommercial world and it is our lutyto push her to the front with thegreatest possible rapidity

I also expect liberal appropriationsfor other sections of the district andstate the estimated cost of the variousprojects contemplated aggregatingabout 1200000 The points to be benefitted by this appropriation will in-

Then too the time has come whenthe interior the agricultural regionneeds good roads as much as the sea ¬

lowing¬

which we are glad to put be ¬

fore our readersMiss M daughter of one of our

prominent merchants had been invit ¬

ed to a Christmas party where shecould meet a young gentleman in re-

gard¬

to whom she had especial inter-est

¬

and desired to look her best Shepersuaded her father to make her aChristmas present of forty dollarswith which she proposed to obtainsome very beautiful trimming for thedress she intended to wear On herway to purchase the trimming she hadoccasion to pass through a street fill-

ed¬

with the tenements of the poor andfound her way blocked by a crowd inthe middle of which was a sewing ma ¬

chineScarcely ever before had she been-

in close contact with actual miseryPoor to her simply meant not richBut as she was about to seek a pas¬

sage through the crowd words fellupon her ears that arrested her at¬

tentionTwentyfive dollars Ive paid you

on that machine and now youll notgive me time I only ask time Im anhonest woman Ill pay you Man doyou know its all there is between usand starvation Let me have thething back Its but ten dollars I oweyou

Youve owed that two months re ¬

plied the man Come let go missusI pont want to hurt you Ive got toobey orders money or the machine

But the woman did not relinquish-her hold Still clutching the machine-she turned her agonizing eyes uponthe bystanders

Twentyfive dollars she repeated-and the machine but thirtyfive and

hes taking it I never failed untilJim broke his leg and his work stopp-ed

¬

and his wages with it and Id doc ¬

tor bills and allXo that she didnt cried a voice

from the crowd Im knowing to herhonesty

Anti hed better be off with hiscart cried a man who had stalked-out of the entry of the house nearwhich the crowd had gathered rollingup his sleeves

Look here good people exclaimed-the man who held the machine Idont want to do this I obey orders-or lose my place and my bread andbutter Shed better go to the bossand talk to himnot to me

Ive been said the woman He0made of stone I told him hes starveus There what is the use Theyve-more than the worth of the thing nowGod knows but theyve the powerTake it And she let go her holdand covered her eyes with her hands

But in the place of her rough redfingers others dainty and small andwell gloved came down upon the cov-

er¬

of the machine and Miss M saidWill you let this woman keep her

machine if I pay you ten dollarsThems the bosss orders Miss re ¬

plied the man and Id be glad to doit too

Then while the crowd gatheredclose and the woman who had toldher piteous tale sobbed with joy MissM drew the sum named from herpurse received a receipt which shegave the poor woman and experienced-the delight which the performance ofan utterly unselfish act brings with it

Praise for Lamar

Pinecastle Fla Dec 20 1905

To the Editor of the Times-

I have followed the recent contestbetween Congressmen Williams andtLamar with interest and some degreeof satisfaction A prominent Poli-

tician¬ r

in Mondys issue of the Times Z>

thinks Lamar has made a serious mis-

take¬

or rather a succession of themI think rather he is cutting his way toa broader sphere of political useful-ness

¬

Xothing can stop the rising of Jrevolt against the trust system TheDavy bill was a fake while the Hearstbii had solid merit Wiliams stated hewanted a united committee that isjmen who did not look with toomuch fovor 011 such measures as theHearst bill All tills is the best possilb-le endorsement for Lamar The fact-

S the democratic party at present is >

livided into two wings the trust wingthe fractionary wing and the antiitrust wing The recent WilliamsLamar episode simply more clearly de itjnes these lines and who are the lead-

ers¬

thereofThere may be some alloy in the pur-

ity of Hearsts purposes but to accuse 1

him of insincerity in his rate bill andthat it was done solely to aid him inother plans well or to do as statetrust papers have done to mentioniis recent mayorship campaign ex-

penses in a lump sum with insinua-tions

¬

while a detailed statement wasnade by showing him that the moneywas used for legitimate purposeswhile the same remain discreetly silentibout asking Tammany in like manne-ro show up truthfully all its Mcian campaign expenses does not show qi-

off Hearst to any disadvantge A 1iouthful cause like therevolt against-he

rtrusts is more likely to be able

without injury to publish the truththan a rotting decaying cause-
