The immense power local newspaper
possesses in attracting trade to the town
in which it is published or diverting it
into other channels can hardly be esti-
mated Further, 1t Is a matter that is
seldom considered as an important fac

pie reason that business men generally
do not give it thought He who will
impartially consider this assertion will
be convinced Of the truth Of il. The To-
cal paper is very naturally biased in fa.

Discussing the smoke nuisance In its
sanitary aspect, The Medical News says
1--WE can indeed forcsee that ut no dis
tant day such energy as is to be obtained
by coal will bc produced ut the mines
and transmitted to ccnters u population
in the form Of electricity, to he again
converted into light heat and power
The sanitary gain that will thus result
will certainly not bc inconsidtrable. The
avoidance Of smoke, ashes. dcletcrious
gases, bulky fuels and care u furnaces
must certainly tend to liner oase the du-
ration Of life and to make IL more en-
3oysble."

conscientious.
One of the envoys remarked that
Claus Spreckles is still supporter of

Democrats All But Agree on That
Tariff Schedule.
SUDDEN CHANGE OF OPINION.
Passage of ThIrty-seven Private Pension
Bus In the Senate-Provions of the
Amended Bank Tax Bill,

democratic tariff co1ferrees adjourned
tonight after an all day session il
looked as If they were nearer to an
agreement than at any time thus far.
And yet the agreement itself, which is
the great end in view had not been at
tanned. The hopes of the eopferrees
last night that definite results would
be reached and made public today
failed to be realized. An agreement on
sugar had not been reached beyond
the possibility of a re- call, nor had
agreements been reached on iron ore or
coal.
The day closed, however, much bet
ter than it opened. 1t had brought out
that the new sugar schedule submitted
as an ultimatum by conservative sena-
tors would be accepted by the house
committee, and that there was little
else than formal and final announce
ment of this acceptance to make the
agreement on sugar complete. So fully
satisfied were the house conferrees that
this schedule would prevail that they
urged its advantages on their colleagues
on the house side and pointed out that
In their opinion it would reduce the
benefits to the trust by 60 per cent.
over the original senate schedule. In
view of the fact that the proposition
came from the senators, this willing
ness of the house men to point out its
advantageous features indicated the
common ground they were occupying.
Equivalent to an Agreement.
Indeed, one of the conferrees spoke
of the results of the days work as
equivalent TO an agreement on the
sugar schedule but said il was not
such binding agreement as to cut off
the possibility Of disagreelng to it on
Monday. Thus it stands, with the
conferrees OIL the point of agreeing and
yet not actually at that point. AS TO
when the quasi agreement will become
an absolute finality, the conferrees had
no definite idea when they separated
tonight. AS Secretary Carlisle was
with them part of the day it is con-
Guided that the schedule is also salts
factory to the ninistration.
LoafslaAtans oppose It,
The new development of the day was
the disclosure early in the morning
that the two Lo uisiana senators could
not be depended upon to support the
new sugar schedule. Their opposition
was based on the ground that it failed
to take into consideration the req uire-
ments of the Louisiana sugar planters
for bounty on their present crop at
least. This caused some uneasiness at
the outset and 1t was felt that the new
schedule upon which hung the
chance of a full agreement, might
be wrecked by the opposi-
ton of the Louisiana senators,
and several populists. This feeling
wore off later in the day, however,
either through indifferen oe or conces-
sion to this opposing element, and il
was not regarded at the close of the
conference as a serious menace to the
success of the cOnferrees' efforts. After
the cOnferrees had reached their virtu-
al agreement on the sugar schedule,
they put this to one side aud took up
the question of iron ore and coal, but
adjourned without approaching any
conclusion with respect to these two
products.
