Ho seemed to bo contributing nothing toward tho making of tho law. His energies woro all expended in an effort to una out what ho did not know. Ho was in doubt at every point. Nowhere, In this, his own record, printed and sent out by the govern ment, does ho show knowledge of tho work In which he was supposed to bo engaged. He appears in this record, not as a self-reliant man among men, meeting squarely his re sponsibility, with knowledge and equipment, but rather as tho boy of tho senate, tho irreponsiblo member who must bo shown, for always, as appears by his own utterances, he seems to have been, not assisting in tho construction of the law, but ap pealing for help to understand what others are doing. Ho seems as one lacking Informa tion, uncertain of his ground. All through this record he says "I do not know." On April 23, turning to Senator Aldrlch, he said, "I do not know whether it is, right or wrong, but I should like to know why the rate is increased." Answered sharply by the Rhode Island senator, the Nebraskan Instantly surrendered with tho state ment, "I do not know that this rate is too high. I have not had time to read any of the evidence." May 5, as to the white lead, Bur kott said, "I do not know whether tho Dingley rate is top high or too low. I do not like to vote to reduce this rate when I do not know wheth-1 er it is low enough now or not and I do not like to vote to increase it." Reading the confession of ignor ance one is not surprised at the ap parent disrespect shown to Senator Burkett by his colleagues. "I am not criticising," said Burkett, "because I know the wisdom of the chairman (Aldrlch) of that committee. It does seem to me that we, at least those of us who do not know about the schedules ought to be treated patiently." Contrasting himself with Aldrlch and the other high tariff jugglers on tne committee, Mr. Burkett said, "I have agreed that the members of this committee are the best posted men in this body on this subject." wnen Brlstow of Kansas tried to enlighten Burkett and to line him up into a more positive attitude, Mr. Burkett said, "But, as I have said to the senators, I have tried on two or three paragraphs to find out what portion of each was admitted, and i' wus not auie to nnd out from the department. I do not know whether anybody knows." The pamphlet shows what the sen ator said, and what, ho nniri atm-ma that ho did not know. The record, tho senator's own words, is a con fession of what is charered npnltiRt tho senator, that he does not know, is not equipped and is therefore in competent. Western states can not afford men in concress who nnnnhnt. ly plead ignorance and beg for in formation. The people want, not doubting and uncertain men. hut men who aro positive and certain, be cause they know. In the magazines is a picture of a young man before a board of direc tors. Under this picture is printed: Tho world makes way for tho man who knows." The man who knows is never afraid, of himself in debate. -v.. mo umu wno aoes not know is always more .or less of a coward, and muDu wiiu mo uepenuing on him gen erally lose out. The high tariff in terests won in the tariff debate and in making of the law, because Aid rich and his helpers knew and be- know Cett and llls kind did not Tho pamphlet will weaken rather than strengthen Sonator Burkett in Nebraska.
