After declaring that In the face of all
sorts of conditions. Americans were pos
sessed of a universal sense of humor.
IViilett said to such people, "it must be
confessed a chief magistrate who has
himself no sense of humor, moving like
a hny-tedder over the haylleld of Amer
ican activities, stirring up every drying
blade of once green grass, to let It fall
drier than before; quarreling one day
with the practical politicians, then with
the part-your-hair-in-the-mlddle reform

great industrial corporations, wrestling
In agony with the spirit of Noah Web

taking a fall out of nature fakers; ox

"He plays the tyrant, to be sure; but
lie is a tvrant who fears the carnival
tickler. He sees things that have a bad
smell, but the fresh breexo of Capitol Hill
does not let the odor linger.
"He trios our patience, but he Is always
good to laugh at. Thank heaven for the
things that make ns laugh. Without
them we might easily become raw. un
tamed Anglo-Saxons, making much of
Magna Cliarta, bellowing about an effete
bill of rights, or even ready to light for
freedom of thought, freedom of speech
and freedom of the press, as did our un
civilized ancestors at Lexington and
Bunker Hill."
w Blojrraphy of Roosevelt,
Wlllett then gave a brief biography
of Mr. Roosevelt, beginning with his
experience as a cowboy, down to the
present time, and accused him. in his
early manhood of having had preposter
ous notions, of "having knifed" Secre
. t n Kulnp b "warrior alone in
iiu y ijui-b, r
Cuba." of having won the Governorship
of New York by a mere fluke, when a
false halo of Ban Juan Hill was above
his head: the benericiary of assassins,
and last, and crowning piece of luck,
the nominee for President, when all the
ajra-resslve elements of passion wanted to
see their own candidate defeated. The
mammoth Jocularity has got to laugh
with every appearance; the gargoyle has
. been funny from the hour H left its na
tive quarry."

Continuing. Wlllett said:
"Andi Mr. Chairman, should the gentle

"He boasts of Irish blood, but no his

He quoted from President Roosevelt s
books In which the President U allied to

In any limited monarchy was ever half so
exigent or ever half so Implacable. "For
a President," he . added, "you must go
back to Napoleon the Great, the oldest
member of the Gargoyles Ananias Club,
who used to ask the wives of his thrifty
favorites whether they could only afford
one gown a year; who said once to the
wife of one of his fighting marshals.
Tour dress Is dirty,' and who Instated on
doing all the matchmaking In his official
circles."
A King and a Court.
The Democracy of Lincoln, he said, the
bluff Americanism of Grant and Cleve
land, the equally American suavity of Ar
thur and McKinley had passed into his
tory, along with the Joviality of Gar
field and the Nonconformist thrift of
Rutherford B. Hayes."
"We have a King and a court now.
Wlllett exclaimed, "as good an Imitation
of the real thing known to the nobility
of monarchlal countries as the scion of
a family of trading Dutchmen can con
coct." At this Juncture Wlllett called
the roll of the so-called Ananias Club
and said:
Gargoyle's Distorted Features.
"The earth is intoxicated and reels
around our Jocularity, lie alone Is a
personification of sobriety, temper
ateness of statement, calmness of speech
and action. The ever-moving hay-tedder
hurries over the field, throwing
upward the clover of politics, the tlm-oth-
of zoology, the bluegrass of his
tory and letting each blade fall a little
dryer than It was before.
"Jealousy you can read In the gar

on thoee twisted lines and it Is easy.

lence toward Dewey, the one great
figure of the Spanish-American war.
the hero who took Manila with the
worst ships a rotten bureaucracy could
find for him; the persistent defamation
of Admiral Schley, who really fought the
battle of Santiago Bay; the Insults heaped
on General Miles, whose counsel was Ig
nored In the expensive blunders of the
land campaign at Santiago."
The President. Wlllett declared,
showed his teeth at all real heroes,
"because real heroes are gall and
wV.rmwood to bogus ones."
Denounces Koosevelt's Acts.
Continuing his denunciation, Wll
lett charged that the President had
bulldozed President Castro, had seen
the Filipinos brutally treated; had
marooned Colonel Stewart, whom
he did not like; had kept' a young
-nman from earning an honest living
h tPllinar the truth: had allowed
"scandalous conditions to exist in the
Army and Navy." had compelled his
subordinates "to act as hunting dogs
for the Czar of Russia in trailing down
men who have fought for liberty";
had practically re-established the John
Adams ailen and sedition laws; had
forced desertions from the Navy by
allowing Intolerable treatment of sai
lors, '"at the hands of the aristocracy
of Annapolis officers"; had permitted
the degrading of soldiers at West Point
who had been put to menial work,
and had given a Scotch verdict In con
nection with the alleged Panama Canal
scandal.
In conclusion, he said, among other
things, "you may say. then, that one
individual gargoyle does not count for
so much after alL No, not In the de
velopment of centuries, but he counts
vitally and continuously, as affecting
the people who have to live under
him. And the change from a Nero
fiddling while Rome is burning to
Vespasian calmly devoted to securing
as good government as tendencies will
permit. Is a change to be as devoutly
welcomed by us as by the ancient
Romans."
Attempt to Clieck Torrent.
Several times in the course of Wll
letfs remarks be was called to order by
Hughes, of West Virginia. "1 call
him to order." Hughes exclaimed.
"He is going ahead) with a lot of rot that
neither the House nor the country Is In

chair pleaded, "please noi ouensivriy nr

The Republicans loudly applauded.
Tr.i,.. ioaln protested that Wlllett
was not using language permitted In

The presiding officer reiterated his de

By this time the House was In i fu-
.. A Kn.-n th hahel of voices.
Gardner was heard to make the point
that a member having been found out of
order in debate, no was no longer enw
tied to the noor.
Hepburn (Iowa) and Mann (Il
linois), with copies of the rules in their
hands, appealed for recognition. Hep
burn insisted that Wlllett should
take his seat. Mann in the meantime
read some rules on the case. The chair
directed Wlllett to take his seat,
which he reluctantly did.
Before the chair passed on the points of
Mann and Hepburn, Chandler (Miss.)
moved that Wlllett - be allowed to
"proceed in order.. On that motion
a vote was taken with the result
of a party vote of 73 to 136, the House
refusing further to hear the New York
member.
In vain Fitzgerald, of New York,
sought to have the chair construe the
rules so that Willett might proceed.
Wlllett bad nearly concluded his re
marks and he received the verdict tf the
House with a smile.

' Benefit Of White Expansion.
There Is one feature In tne expansion of
the porks of white, or Kuropcan, blood
during the rt four centuries which snoulo
never ba lost s'.ioit of, especially by those
who denounce such expansion on moral
grounds. On the whole, tha movement has
been frmug-ht with laatlnB benefit to most or
the peoples already dwelling in the lancis
over which trie expansion took place. or

must be understood with, the necessary reser

no movement lasting fur four centuries ana
extending In one shape or another over the
major part of the world could go on without
cruel Injustices being done at certain p.aces
and in certain times. OooMlonally. although

He illustrated his point by the con
trast between the beneficent effects of
French rule in Algiers with the anarchy
reigning In Morocco. He continued:
In India we encounter the most colossal
example history affords of the successful
administration by men of European blood
of a thickly populated region in another
continent. It is the greatest toat of the
kind that has been performed since the

a result of the African slave trade, that
crime of the ages, and of two and a half
centuries of slavery in America, the United
States has nearly 10.000.000 of colored peo
ple as a part of its citizenship. No other
country outside of Africa has so large a
negro population: and, what is more, there
are no other 10.000.000 of negroes In the
world who own as much property and
have as large a per cent who are intelligent,
moral and thrifty. The education and up
lift of the American negro now going for
