PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Senator BcveridEe Concludes Three
Days speech on Child Labor Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 2.-The sem
ate session today began with lecture from
Senator Hale, who contended that too
much talking and not enough work was
being done. He had particular reference
to his inability to secure the passage of the
diplomatic and consular fertilization appro-
priaton bills, which were on the calendar.
Before the session ended the two measures
had been disposed Of
Senator Beveridge concluded his three-day
speech on his child labor bill. His argu-
ment today was devoted to the constitu-
tional power of congress to prohibit inter-
state commerce in child-made goods, and
took the broad ground that the power of
congress over interstate and foreign COM
merce is absolute, that such commerce can
be prohibited altogether, far as the
power is concerned. and that in all cases
policy and not power is to be considered.
The senate today passed the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. carrying
SO, OS5,477.
The amendment presented by Senator
Lodge was agreed to providing that the
salaries of all consular clerks be $1,000 per
year for the first three years, after which
$500 year is to be added until a maximum
Of 81, 800 is reached. ~

Nebraska Hog 'Record-Our Gage Valley
correspondent vouches for the accuracy OF
the following remarkable story: One year
ago last June youth working for neigh
Dor bought two Chester White SOW pigs at
a cost of 1850 They were bred in due sea-
son and had fifteen pigs. This fall one OF
the original hogs was sold for $3.50 and the
other. of equal value was butchered for
family use. Six of the pigs averaging 2S
pounds, were sold for $5.S per hundred
weight, bringing $7750; one was killed early
in the fall, estimated at So; the other eight
pigs will weigh more than 200 pounds apiece
and are worth $50 or more, making Sl.O.
In other words. the $3.50 invested one year
ago has grown to S227SO an increase or
something like $50 per cent.-St. Paul Re-
