‘

By GEORGE CLINTON.W ashington — President Taft has

been told seriousl|| tha t one of the 1 reasons why there Is objection In the

senate on xhe part of many of the \ members to give consideration to re- 1 clproolty at this session, is that he

had declined to call any of the party leaders Into conference when, under

' his direction, the American eommls- ! sloners were arranging the term s of

the trade agreem ent with the C ana­dians.

There are a great many old men In the senate, men old In years and old In the service. Those of them who

1 have been Republicans all their lives aud who have been In the senate as representatives of that party for bo many years that they have forgotten when they came to W ashington, have not denied that they think a Re publican adm inistration ought to have consulted them on reciprocity, and neither do they make d nlal of a feel­ing of resentm ent.

The president In his efforts to get his reciprocity legislation through has not neglected any conciliatory means. He told Senators Crane and C arter and Borne others who were trying to get his Canadian agreem ent throvigh tho senate that they must Impress on the "Injured" senators the fact that he .was bound to keep the term s of tho Canadian agreem ent secret un­til it was time to make It public. It Is known that the Canadian commis­sioners Informed the American ad­m inistration that prem ature publica­tion of the details would cause trouble in Cnnada

Republicans Deny Party Split.So far as the house vote on reel

proclty Is concerned. It was shown that the Republicans were pretty nearly evenly divided on the advisa bllity of adopting the compact This division of thought nnd action has led to repeated statem ent that the party Is Irretrievably spilt o~. tho subject of tariff legislation The Republicans say that this Is untrue and thnt on a plan for general tariff legislation proposed by the Democrats the Re­publicans will be found to be virtually a unit in opposition.

President Taft has said that he paid no attention to partlea In arranging the Canadian compact. He says he thought only of the general good of the country and that he considered It a m atter which was above party. The Democrats see hope for them selves In the Republican division on reciprocity and a Republican adm inistration sees hope for Its party on the general supi>ort which It seems to believe the country has given the measure, and upon its belief that when reciprocity has been working for six months. If It getc a chance to work. It will be found to he beneficial to all classes of people. Including agriculturists. On this proposition of benefit to the farm ­ing Industry, however, there is a wide diversity of opinion In W ashington, and If reciprocity becomes a law there will be months of waiting before It Is proved which of the schools of opinion Is right In Its present thought on the subject.

Why La Follette Is Silent. Senator La Follette has made few

speeches during the present session. This fact has been commented on con­siderably in official and in party cir­cles In Washington. It is perfectly true that a t all former sessions the Wisconsin senator has had much to say. but his silence this year, It Is generally believed. Is to be put' down to the fact that his physicians ad ­vised him to take It fairly easy this winter Mr. La Follette seemingly la In the best of health, hut he under­went an operation some time ago which It seems made it Imperative that hp should rest for a while. It Is said that he Is now virtually cured of his old ailment.

Some of the W ashington gossips say that In the Wisconsin m an's s i­lence there Is a desire not to commit himself Just at present upon any of the great subjects before congress, be­cause he has presidential ambitions and he wants to avoid any danger of "putting his foot In It.” This word on the situation la discounted by the senator's friends. It Is generally con­ceded In W ashington th a t Mr. La Follette will be a candidate at the next Republican national convention against Mr. Taft for high nomination honors. There Is a great deal of In­terest In the position he will take on reciprocity, for on this subject the will break his w inter’s silence.

Correspondent Resents Abuse, Recently the house of repre­

sentatives adopted a resolution ex­cluding one of the W ashington news­paper correspondents from the priv­ileges of the house for ten days. This action was taken because after a rep ­resentative making a privileged speech from tbo floor, had called the coire* spondent a wart, a liar and various other things, the tnallnged one want on the floor of the bouse and attain ot-

ed to thrash the offending member of congress.

The law of the land haa tt that no member of congress shall be called to personal account to r u tterances made In debate. It Is nevertheless true tha t If the correspondent who objected to being called a liar and some other things which he was not, had not shown Ills resentm ent In the way he did, the words of the member littered on the floor would have gone Into the record, and for all time one W ashing­ton newspaper man would have ap­peared in the governmental reports as a miserable creature generally, and aa a liar of the flrat rank. The corre­spondent has been punished by exclu­sion from the <;apltol tor teu days, but he and his fellow newspaper men have the satisfaction of knowing th a t the words of the member of congress have been stricken from the record of the day’s doings.

The Nellie Cuetls Place.Recently something was w ritten

about the old home of the Masons of Virginia which 1b still standing, and about which cluster memories of the stirring Revolutionary days. The dif­ferent Virginia eatates near tbe city of Washington, with their old colonial mansions, recently have been brought into notice by the attem pt to erect a penal Institution near Mount Vernon. The story of the attem pt and Its de­feat already has been published broad­c a s t

Woodlawn, known as the "Nellie Custis place," la another of the old Virginia homesteads near the Mason place, and Is situated just a little way from Mount Vernon, Some people think that Woodlawn has about as much Interest as Mount Vernon Itself, for the original place, which com­prised about 2,000 acres, was given by George Washington as a wedding pres­ent to his ward. Nellie Custis. who was married on the last birthday which George W ashington lived to cel­ebrate. Nellie Custis married MaJ Lawrence Lewis.

The Nellie Custis house Btlll stands, and It Is of the colonial type. It has passed into the possession of Miss Eliz­abeth Rharp, who Is a Virginian by birth, and whose family still resides In that state, although Miss STharp her­self Is making her home In the north. Thousands of dollars have been spent hy the present owner to maintain the place aa It was In the days gone by.

Interest In Next Campaign.Both Democrats and Republicans,

even In the hard work of these clos­ing hours of the session, are showing an active interest In the next presi­dential campaign, going so far as to give consideration to questions of the advisability of holding their respec­tive conventions In tills city or that city.

President Taft's oumpatgu for re- nomination already Is on In a quiet way, and It is expected before long thut there will be active m anifesta­tions of a desire on the part of Rob­ert M. La Pallet te ’s followers to se­cure preference for hlB name over that of Taft at the next Republican convention. On the Democratic side Champ Clark Is known to be am bi­tious, and active campaigning has be­gun on behalf of Governor Harmon of Ohio and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey.

Talk of Convention City.A strong local effort 1b being made

to have the next Democratic conven­tion called for Baltimore. It Is a long time since Maryland had a Democrat­ic convention and Baltimore thinks that the time has come when the honor should be conferred upon It again. There Is a difference of opin­ion In tho Democratic party as to tho advisability of selecting Baltimore as the convention scene. 8otne of the members do not think It wise to hold the convention In the east, and as a m atter of fact this seems to be the chief objection offered to the choice of the city as the meeting place.

St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Kansas City already have advocates in the field, although the choice of the convention sites Is not to be m^He until next Decem­ber or January. Much the same scenes are enacted In W ashington when the convention city Is under consideration as when the boomers are here asking congress to name a certain place as that for the holding of a great na­tional exposition.

Effects of an Extra 8esalon.It Is somewhat curious to note how

differently the members of the two parties view the effect of an extra ses­sion of congress. If the president shall make up his mind to call one In case reciprocity Is foredoomed to de­feat at the present session.

It seems to be the belief of the fol­lowers of Mr. Taft that, while he may lose prestige with the party leaders because of his Insistence on reciproc­ity, he will gain the support of the ul­tim ate consumer class, the men who are neither farmers, Importers, nor manufacturers, and the president’s friends say that the support he will gain from the consuming ranks will offset all his losses.

The friends of each of the Demo­cratic candidates say they know tha t If the party which soon will come Into power In the house shall pass a mod­erate tariff revision m easure cutting the schedules on certain of the neces­saries of life, the people will turn to the Democrats In 1912. As an offset to this some members of the Taft fol­lowing say that If the Democrats do put through a sane revision bill and It Is sanctioned by the senate, tha t the president will sign It and therefore will get Just as much glory. If glory there is to be. as will any Democratic leader who enters the field as the president’s rival.

Underwood, Chairman of New Ways and Msans Committee, Gives Out A uthoritative S tatem ent—Farm ers P ro test Against New Treaty.

W H E R E I T W AS LA C K IN G

W ashington.—The Democrats of the house are prepared to go to work a t once on the revision of several schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff ac t should an ex tra sesaiou be called following the present session of con­gress.

An authoritative statem ent to thlB effect was given out Tuesday by Rep­resentative Underwood of Alabama, who has been selected as chairm an of the new committee on ways and means. It was made to correct an erroneous report which has gained circulation In the last few days. Mr. Underwood said:

"The statem ent tha t If an ex tra ses­sion 1b called the Democrats In the bouse will not begin the work of revis­ing the tariff is absolutely unfounded. The Democrats are pledged to revise the tariff and If we go Into an extra session the house unquestionably will pass some tariff bills, revising some of tbe schedules of the Payne act down­ward, before It adjourns."

Farm ers registered protests against Canadian reciprocity at the hearing be­fore tbe senate committee on finance. Form er Governor N. J. Bachelder of New Hampshire, m aster of the nation­al grange, made the opening argum ent and announced tha t if tbe com m ittee had the time to her them he would he followed by m asters of granges In Indiana, Delaware, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mnryland, New York, West Virginia. New Hampshire, Con­necticut and M assachusetts, as well aa representatives In the various sta tes of dairy, horticultural and other associa­tions. Including directors of sta te ex­perimental stations.

Mr. Bachelder asserted that 6,000,000 farmers were united In opposition to the agreem ent, ami he said he voiced their protests against free trade In farm products while protection was continued upon manufactured articles which the farmers were compelled to buy. He declared that Canada was the only country which the farm ers had to fear, and that free trade with that country means that the farm ers would derive no benefit from the tariff law.

The agreem ent with Canada will pass the senate. This was the declara tton of Senator Carter of Montana as he was leaving the White House after a conference with President Taft. P e r sonnlly Senator Carter Is opposed to the measure.

She—You puckered up your lips to then that I thought you were going to kiss me.

He—No; I got Borne grit In my mouth.

She—Well, for goodness’ sake swal­low it! You need It In your system !

Tells How to W ar on Scarlet Fever.

The Illinois sta te board of health has prepared for general distribution a pamphlet on the subject of the pre­vention, restriction and suppression of scarlet fever. The purpose Is to *amtllarize the the public with the disease that prompt and effective measures to combat It will be taken when It appears In a community.

“Scarlet fever Is a preventable dis­ease.” snys the publication, "notw ith­standing Its widespread character and the ease with which the Infection ad­heres to articles which may pass from one person to another. Carefulness can keep tho Infection from being scattered abroad, and disinfection can destroy Its power to do harm.

^ “Keep children away from the d is­ease and from all persons and things that have been where the disease Is. Keep also all persons who have re- cently been sick with the disease and all who have been where It Is, away from your children. If children from an Infected family are allowed to a t­tend school, w ithdraw your children from that school and notify the sta te board of health. If scarlet fever has ocourred In a school and the sam e achool has not been disinfected, take your children out of the school and notify the sta te board of the facts.

“Be careful of books, toys and all articles which have been handled by a scarlet fever patient. The disease has been spread by circulating li­braries, picture books having been taken therefrom to amuse patients and returned without being disinfec­ted. See that your house and prem ­ises are perfectly clean. Look to your cellars, sewers, cess-pools, sinks and water closets, and allow no de­caying animal or vegetable m atter to poison the atm osphere of your dwell­ings. TTse disinfectants freely; burn all rubbish.

Mr. I frd—This, my dear, is the l » Met kai

Had any of bis chums been there to see they would have Jeered at the Idea.

Floyd Grant, 25 years old, and of the city, and one of the latest guests a t the Mountain Top house, has raised bis hat to the chambermaid on his floor as he encountered her at the door of his room.

It came about through a sort of la- stinct or intuition. He somehow felt tha t he was In tbe presence of a lady, and up went his hat. Two minutes later the elevator had landed him on the office floor and he was puzzling over it a bit. The mystery was solved an hour later when he overheard one lady telling another that ten young women who were working their way through college had taken places In the hotel as chambermaids for the sea­son.

Ethel Davis, daughter of a widow who was none too well off, was one of tbe ten. When taking the situation the clerk of tbe hotel had said to her:

"No airs, now. You a re coming as a servant, and you will be expected to dress and do the work of one. You can 't be a college girl here."

At nine o’clock the next morninp tho same young man came up from break­fast just as she was finishing his room, and looked in and saw her and raised his hat and backed out.

Next day, In front of the elevator, the hat was lifted for the third time, and two young lady guests giggled and the elevator boy dared to wink at Miss Ethel. Her cheeks burned and her eyes flashed, and she alm ost decided to go to the management and enter complaint. If there was a fourth time she would do so.

There was a fourth time, hut she didn't do what she thought she would. The manager and hotel detective were In company with Mr. Grant when he entered his room where she was still dusting, and although he, alone, of tbe trio lifted his hat, she was too con­fused to more than notice it.

"Miss Davis," began the manager, with the voice and attitude of a mag­istrate. "a sum of money has mysteri­ously disappeared from this room this morning. Mr. Grant rose earlier than usual to take a walk before breakfast, and left a purse with $200 In It under his pillow. When he returned it was missing. You were on this floor and must have seen him go. You also have duplicate keys to the rooms."

"And 1 wish to say, Miss Davis," sal£ Mr. Grant, "that not the slightest sus­picion attaches to you. 1 merely re­ported the loss at the office."

“But—but what Is It?" asked the surprised girl. “I didn't see the gen­tleman go out. I was not In the room until a quarter of an hour ago. Sure­ly—"

"Miss Davis, you have duplicate keys," insisted the manager.

The girl grew so weak that she sat down. She was looking first nt one and then at the other, and her trem ­bling lips were trying to frame a ques­tion or protest when Mr. Grant sud­denly started anti said:

"W hat an abseht-inlnded Idiot 1 am! Why, I tossed that purse Into my trunk before leaving the room, and there It Is. fast locked, as we all can see! Miss Davis, we came simply to question you as regards others. The house Is full of guests, and there are two or three on this very floor that we might be suspicious of. 1 am sure I beg your pardon for the trouble we have given you.”

“But was It thought I took the purse?” demanded the girl as her voice came to her all at once.

"Surely not."Miss Davis gave notice and the

next day she left the hotel. She felt tha t she had been suspected, and she could not stay. Mr. Grant touched his hat to the new chambermaid who was also a college student, hut thought of the other. Some one had got his money. He had deliberately lied to shield Miss Davis. The purse could not have been produced had the man­ager asked that the trunk be unlocked. The question was not as to the girl's honor, but whether she believed he lied for her sake.

One morning, a week later. Mr. Grant arose at an early hour for an­other stroll. From his position be­hind a bowlder on the mountain he saw a man leave his room and walk along the balcony of the fire escape and enter another. The second room belonged to the young man.

Half an hour later the robber-guest was under arrest and had made a w ritten confession. That same day. with a copy of the confession In his pocket, the victim started for the home of Mrs. Davis, a hundred miles away. The "chambermaid"' opened the door to his ring, and as she looked Into his eyes she asked with a weary smile:

“Have you come to arrest me?”“No, but to talk with you and your

mother. The real thief has been found, and I have his confession here withme.”

"Then you lied when you said the purse was In the trunk. Believing me guilty, you lied!”

"Believing you Innocent, l lied!"“I—I don’t know—It’s all so queer.”

sobbed the girl, with her face to the wall. ,

"Not a bit queer. All plain ns day. I’m going to ask your mother It I may pay my Addresses to you, and lomc- tlme, when I know you love W , I shnlj ask you to be my wife. Wouldn't be at all queer if we ahould be a t the Mountain Top next year as man and wife."

It Is a common belief that the ne­gro's head Is hard, capable of with­standing almost any blow.

The following story told of a promi­nent young dentlBt of Danville, 111., would seem to Indicate something of the kind, anyhow. Two negro men were employed on tearing down a three-story brick building. One ne­gro was on top of the building taking oft the bricks and sliding them down a narrow wooden chute to the ground, some th irty feet below, where the other was picking them up and piling them.

When this latter negro was stoop­ing over to pick up a brick, the form er accidentally let one fall, striking hlmt directly on the head.

Instead of its killing him, he m erely looked up, without rising, and satdr1 "W hat you doin’ thar. nigger, you made me bite my tongue.”—The Cir­cle.

“Ivanhoe” was taken from a beautiful Jewess. Miss Rebecca Gratz of Phila­delphia Her steadfastness to Juda­ism, when related by W ashington Ir­ving to Scott, won his adm iration and caused the creation of one of his fin­est characters.

B © H H IS your money in the right place?

That is the question that should in­terest every person who has surplus funds on hand. A great many peo­ple are carried away by those ex­travagant promises which invest­ment schemers make. After every­thing is said and done a Bank ac­

count is really the safest and best way of pro­tecting idle funds or money that is being kept for some special purpose. Financial men have always regarded ample capital as being the best assurance of safety. This National Bank has a large capital fund and its conservative manage­ment assures positive security for money left in its care. Deposits subject to check cordially in­vited. 3% paid on Time Certificates of Deposit.

Did You Cuntrlbute?T he recent report of Sears, Roebuck

& Co., Incorporated, showed a ne t profit for 1910 of 06,759,876. T he to ta l sales were 061,579,938, th u s showing a m argin of profit am ounting to nearly 11 per cen t. T h is concern shows a gain In sales of over 20 per cen t. They do not co n trib u te one dollar in taxes to th is com m unity, do n o th ing to support our schools or o ther featu res of en terp rise in th is v icinity , and s till they have a large clientage from th is section. Our business men pay taxes, co n trib u te to our churches and p u t th e ir energy and best efforts tow ard th e b e tte rin g of th is com m unity. They should have th e patronage of every person tr ib u ta ry to th is c ity . W hat is tru e of th is place is equally tru e of all o th e r country tow ns and every one who sends to a m all order house is doing his own com m unity a g rea t in ­justice.

Any concern th a t can show the enorm ous gain in a few years th a t Sears, Roebuck & Co. have m ust have made enorm ous profits. Who pays these profits b u t th e ir patrons? The g rea t packing houses of Chicago, w ith many tim es th e capital invest­ed, show only a n e t profit of about 3 per cen t. Sears, Roebuck & Co show over th ree tim es th e ne t profit on very m uch less cap ita l invested.

If you, dear reader, con tribu ted to th is enorm ous profit in the past, don’t you th ink it high tim e to stop and consult your own best in te rests by building up your own com m unity by trad in g w ith those who are m ak­ing every effort to build up and sus­ta in your own section of country?
