Amendment to Existing Law May Ba
Necessary to Meat Efforts to Evade
dt—Philippine Forests Valuable.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. Sept. 2. — [Special.] -
They are beginning to see the end of
tho tariff tight In the senate. Chair
man Simmons thinks the bill will be
passed by the 4th of September. On
that nccount he has not been over
crowding consideration, bus not asked
for sessions earlier than 11 o’clock in
the morning, has not Insisted upon ses
sions extending later than (1 o’clock
cueh day.
Of course there has got to be some
time spent In conference, and probably
there will be more talk when the bill
comes back from the conference com
mittee, but It Is fair to assume thut
■with all time necessary to be consum
ed the bill will become a law before
the end of September. Its sponsors
think it will be a law before the 26th
of September.
Less Pressure For Office.
For about a month there has been
less pressure for office at the White
House and the departments. The of
fice seekers seem to have made August
a sort of vacation time. Perhaps It Is
because many members of the cabinet
hnvp also made that month their vaca
tion period and tho office seekers have
found their chairs temporarily vaennt.
The president will not deal directly
with the applicants for place, although
he sees some of them. But the men
seeking appointments must take up
tile matter with cabinet officers before
the president will consider their ap
plications.
Pure Food Complaint.
The officials who are enforcing the
pure food law' have to take up n rath
er troublesome question in connection
with the misuse if not misbranding of
food packages. Many such packages
contain the words, “Guaranteed under
the government pure food law,” which
assumes that the food has been tested
or approved by the government offi
cials or that It has complied In every
way with the pure food law. But It
seems that all the guarantee means
is that the denlqr, who buys from the
manufacturer. Is guaranteed .against
prosecution by the government officers
•or if prosecuted the manufacturer will
bear the expense. It may be that some
stringent amendment will have to be
made to the law to meet this and
similar attempts to get around It.
Pay For the Philippines.
The cost of the Philippines can be
paid by the forests, according to a
statement issued by the bureau of In
sular affairs. "Some Idea of the pres
ent potential value of the hardwood in
the Islands,” says the statement, “may
be gained from the fact that there Is
enough standing timber in the virgin
forests of the islands to pay several
times over their original cost to the
United States even If sold at a nomi
nal price per acre.”
The statement does not say who will
buy this woodland, but If it could be
sold It might be a way for the gov
ernment to get even for the expense of
the faraway colonies. When the Phil
ippine independence bill comes up this
might be considered.
Quoting Bob Taylor.
One of the Tennessee Democrats of
the house during the long contest over
the currency bill quoted former Sen
ator Bob Taylor on the money ques
tion. saying it about suited him. It
wns during the exciting days of the
free silver discussion, and old Bob
wns talking to some of his people In
Tennessee. Said Taylor, “I’m for the
free coinage of gold and sliver and
the issue of greenbacks, and 1 want
counterfeiting made better.”
Hayei on Living Cost.
“It’s the local dealers who keep up
the high cost of living,” asserted Con
gressman Hayes of California, “and I
have proved It. I asked my butcher
bow it was that some fellow didn’t
come In here and set up a butcher shop
and undersell these fellows who were
chnrglng 28 cents a pound for steak.
He said there was no danger. ’A
committee of local butchers would
wait on him and show him that It was
not to his interest,’ said my man. ‘If
he persisted we would see that he
<ild not get any meat We would noti
fy the big packers that If they sold
to him they could not sell to us. He
would have to depend on local supply,
and he wouldn’t get anywhere with
that.’
“It seems to me," said Hayes, “with
that condition in every city in regard
to nearly everything peoplqjsuy there
is not much prospect for reducing the
cost of living, no matter what is done
.with the tariff."
Secretary Daniels continues to peer
Into everything that is brought to him
for his signature. As a consequence
there are stacks of mall piled up on
his desk awaiting his examination and
signature. “There Is enough mail
there to keep him signing until mid
night," remarked one day a clerk who
was obliged to stay until the secretary
bad completed his work.
Btand In Mexioan Criaia Helpad to
Unite the Preaidant and Thoae Who
Diffeied With Him—Sonata la Not
Plaaoad With Talk of Impeachment,
Walah of Montana In Limelight,
By ARTHUR W, DUNN.
Washington, Sept 3. — [Special.] —
President Wilson believes in govern
ment by parties. He just naturally
falls into the notion that more can be
accomplished by the party In power
standing unitedly for a given policy or
line of action. He made the tariff a
party issue and rather chagrined those
Republicans of progressive tendencies
who hoped to "help make a nonparti
san tariff.” He also proceeded along
party lines to push the currency bill.
There was for a time a belief that
the president was keeping the Mexican
imbroglio within his party. Such
charges were made by Republican sen
ators until finally there were free con
ferences between the president and all
members of the foreign relations com
mittees of both houses. That such
conferences helped to unite congress
to stand with the president there can
be no doubt
Bacon the Mediator.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, wns the
mediator between the administration
and the Republican senators. He talk
ed it over with Sectary Bryan and
urged that the Republicans be called
into conference on an important foreign
complication. He said the same things
to the president, telling both officials
that before and during the Spanish
war President McKinley had dally con
sultations with himself and other Dem
ocrats. As a consequence of the over
tures of the Georgia senator the presi
dent and Secretary Bryan have held
frequent conferences with Republicans.

Warren Sidestepped.
Senator Warren of Wyoming, who
is an extensive sheep owner, was
speaking on wool and was Interrupted
by Senator Mnrtine of New Jersey. “I
have heard the senator from Wyoming
designated as ’the greatest shepherd
since Father Abraham.’ I suppose we
should pay homage to him and hope
to gain our aid and succor—revising
the Biblical quotation for these latter
days—from the shepherd of today, the
shepherd from Wyoming."
"Do I still have the senator’s love,
co-operation, confidence and respect?”
Inquired Warren.
“Indeed, the senator always has my
respect,” replied Martine. “A man who
can command so magnificent a per
sonal presence and a man who by bis
genius has been able to gather around
him such a colossal herd as he now
has roaming the plains of the western
part of the country will command the
respect of almost all his fellow citi
zens.”
"The senator from New Jersey,” said
Warren, sidestepping, “always carries
out the teachings of the Bible. I con-

Senate Hopes Not.
Talk of impeachment does not please
the senate. It means long sessions de
voted to a trial of a judge. In which
evidence Is taken, where attorneys and
house managers do the talking and the
senators sit quietly by. The senate
doesn’t like Impeachments.
Where Are the Birds?
During a discussion of birds Senator
Williams inquired about the humming
birds of Mississippi. “When 1 was a
boy," be said, "there were humming
.birds all over my part of the country.
Thpre must have been 500 varieties of
them, and they were of every color
you could Imagine. Now 1 do not see
a humming bird twice In a season.”
Senator McLean explained that the
bumming birds went to Cuba for the
winter, where as many as 30,000 were
killed In a winter, and they were sold
at 2 cents apleoe and mounted on hats
of women as ornaments.

"Hall of Fame" Joke.
The thousands of sightseers that
pass through the capitol every year do
not know that the statuary hall, or
the “hall of fame,” is one of the real
jokes of Washington. The grotesque
statues, In alleged statesmenlike poses,
which different states have placed In
what was expected to be the “national
valhalla,” make the place ridiculous.
As a nation we ought to be ashamed
to have strangers from a foreign land
see it “It’s a hideous joke,” remarked
former Congressman Ben T. Cable the
other day. “They ought to be sent
back to the states tbat presented
them.”

EXPLAINS HOW TO BE SUCCESS
FUL HUSBAND.
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 4.—L. C.
Dillman, a wealthy Seattle man and
ascsociate of J. J. Hill, as the result
of 18 years of marital blis3, promul
gated today the following rules for
husbands:
“Keep all promises made at the
time of marriage; divide the news
paper and everything else; keep a
joint bank account; go to the club
not oftener than one night a week;
have no dogs or pets of any kind.
“Call her up on the telephone at
least three times a day; when away
from home write or telegraph every
day.
“Take her with you on business
and pleasure trips; be more polite to
her than to any other woman you
meet.
“Remember that she likes flowers,
candy and books; don’t criticise her
dress; be a gentleman to all women,
but a husband to only one.
“If you have only a dollar you
are not wasting it by spending it on
her; if you have been faithful in
all things, generous, considerate and
loving and still she is dissatisfied,
get a divorce.
“Life is too short to waste any of
it in trying to please an abnormal
woman.”—Macon Telegraph.

Our fourth car of vehicles reached us about Sept. 1st,

I kind of buggies at the right kind of price, from the
cheapest to the very best you can find in our showrooms
and a greater variety of styles than are shown by any

truthfulness of the above assertions.
