Pins and sockets for putting down

at all, but they are so useful that they
are wc..h IN ltioning The great util-
ity OF these is that the carpet can be
taken up with but little trouble for a

for each socket there is a pin or brass

socket there is no trouble In lifting 1t

sockets TO keep them from filling with
dust, and when the carpet is cleaned IL
can be put down again with ease. The
pins are sufficiently long two and
quarter inches TO hold the carpet
firmly. In some houses hall carpets are
put down without lining and taken up
frequently TO be shaken.

Minority Report on Philippine Bill

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack yesterday submitted a minority
report from the committee on Philip
pines on the Philippine tariff bill. It
says that opposition to the measure Is
not based on any mere question Of rev.
enue or any theory concerning forms
and principles of taxation, but because
the bill violates constitutional rights
and transcends the limits of constitu-
tional power. The objection Of the
minority is to the whole policy Of
colonial empire, to the control by this
government OF vassal provinces, to
the spirit of military aggression and
of war for the sake Of spoils. The re-
port says that the bill reported by the
majority Of the committee is charac-
teristic manifestation of such policy
and spirit
