RETALIATORY
CLAUSE DISCOVERED IN RECIP-
ROCITY LAW.
France May Find United States Has
Big Club TO Use i'm Enforcing
Tariff Regulations.

Washington, June PA stout
cudgel, by means of which any and
every foreign nation can be forced to
deal fairly with the United States in
tariff matters, has been discovered by
the state department. 1t consists of
an old statute, the broad usefulness
of which has never been appreciated,
and the application of it promises to
revolutionize the tariff relations be-
tween this and foreign governments.
Secretary Root and M. JusseTand,
the French ambassador, had con-
ference yesterday regarding the pend
ing tariff dispute between the United
States and France, and there is rea-
son to believe that Mr. Root did not
fail to call this forgotten statement
to the ambassadors attention.
Seventeen years ago, when con-
gress passed the original meat in
spection act, largely on account of the
disfavor with which American meats
were being treated in Germany, a
section was Incorporated in the law
which, as now appears, provides the
executive authority with means of
retaliation against foreign nations
which may discriminate against us
in trade matters. 1T constitutes all
the weapons necessary for the prose-
cution of vigorous tariff war by the
United States, with the prospect of a
successful issue all on the side of this
government.
This section was directed, II is pre-
|sumed, especially toward the protec-
tion OF the American meat trade with
Germany, but 1t is now realized, APP

PORTUGAL.

What influence has been brought
to bear on Carlos l. king of Portugal
by Premier Franco to induce that fat
monarch to dissolve parliament
would be interesting to the students
of history; for Carlos a year ago Wig.
orously opposed the same policy
and undoubtedly he is acquainted
with the character of his people and
repeated revolutions that have
marked every decade of Portugal's
history. It may be the Republican
sentiment has become so strong as
to drive the government to desperate
measures; but just how strong the
sentiment is and how it has affected
the army King Carlos is soon to
know.
Except for the brief sovereignty
of Spain, France and the Brazilian
preteader. Portugal has been a con-
stitutional monarchy since its found
'ation as an Independent nation in the
twelfth century. It's people are much
like the people of South America,
and while exhibiting little capacity
for development of the peaceful ma
ture, they have jealousy guarded

before that a constitution had been
granted. In 1928 Don Miguel. of
Brazil, made conquest of Portugal It
was an absolute monarchy until 1885,
when by revolution the constitution
of 1920 was restored. Another rev.
olution in 1912 restored the consti-
tuition OF 1926.
King Carlos has ruled since 1899.
The parliament, or cortes, which he
dissolved consisted of a house Of
peers and house of deputies. Near
~ every year OF its existence there
has been deficit in the revenues of
Portugal At present bankruptcy
and mutiDy among the 1000 con
scripts threatens the existence of the
dynasty.
Portugal may be in the throes of a
revolution that will change its form
OF government from a limited mon
archy to a republic. The republic
would. like those OF Latin America,
be OF unstable equilibrium. On ae-
count of its geographical location at
the extremity of the Iberian peninsula
guarded by mountains and the sea
and the decaying Spanish empire, 1t
might exist a republic in Europe. but
as little influential as that Of France
in teaching the lessons of freedom to
the people around It.

STOLYPIN WINS
COMPTROLLER OF EMPIRE RE-
TIRES FROM CABINET.
Premier at Last Absolutely Domin-
ates Government for First
Time.

ST. Petersburg, June 27.-The en-
lperor has accepted the resignation of
Comptroller of the Empire Schwane-
bach, leader of the Reactionary wing
of the cabinet in the campaign for dis
solution of the DONNA The retire
ment of Schwanebach marks the cul-
mination of Premier Stolypin's pro-
|tracted struggle for control of his
own ministry. Prior to the dissolution
of the douma the premier thrice de-
manded the resignation of the comp
|troller on account of his constant in
trigues against Stolypin's policy OF
federation of the douma, but the comp
|troller's position was so strongly
backed at court that Stolypin was un-
able to prevail.
Stolypin's assent to dissolution of
the douma deprived the comptroller
|of his executive influence and led
finally to the presentation of his res
ignation and its acceptance by his
majesty.
Schwanebach was one of the bit
|terest enemies of Count WHITE and is
believed to have inspired the press
campaign conducted against him
abroad. Schwanebach, who has spent
his entire life in the state service, is
unlikely ever to return to influential
position. 1t is understood that his re-
Itirement will be followed by the resig
nations of other reactionary minis
tiers re-f

New Pigmy Race Found.

London. June 27.-Dr A. F. r.
Wollaston, who has returned to Eng
land from a journey through Cen
trail Africa, tells of new race of war
like pigmies who inhabit the craters
of the extinct volcanoes of the Congo
state. The tops OF these volcanic
mountains are covered with dense
growth of bamboo. in which the pig
mics have their abodts. They live
by raids on villages on the lower
slopes.
The sides Of the extinct volcanoes
are inhabited by people of excellent
physique, and are very rich with
foods. honey and cattle. In one VII

50 for the privilege of humping his
own head.
But this does not explain the story
of the Bryan nightshirt to the boys
at the eadwaters of the Platte. Even
after they have forgiven the Pullman
car they may find it hard to forgive
the nightshirt. AS 1t is Mr.. Bryan
whose example has led them to regard
the Pullman car as necessity OF
life when travelling, We entertain the
hope that he may yet bring them to
see the beauty and utility of the
nightshirt, used in the RICH way and
at the proper times and places. But
not even his illustrlous example, or
all his matchless eloquence, will ever
move an American citizen from the
Platte peninsula to strip himself in a
lower berth and then struggle, in a
shallow and narrow space, to hide
himself in a flowing robe needing
nothing but a nightcap to complete a
feminine tout ensemble from which
nothing but the subtreasury whiskers
|still in vogue along the Platte could
save the wearer. Carrying the night
shirt habit to such an extreme viii
surely strike that section of country
as a degree of affectation which II
would forgive in no other man than
Bryan. Even he might tax populistic
favor too far If there was another
man in sight to whom the boys at the
forks of the creek could turn. The
only straw which might break the
Populist camels back will be laid on
in that night, in Pullman berth,
when Bryan has to pull on his night
sirt over his feet because he has his
whiskers put up in curl papers.-St.

Color of Hair Said to Indicate Per-
sons Temperament.

Many people believe that blonde.
or light hair denotes affection and
dark hair consistency. A person with
out hair is not devoid of character;
liar from 1t. The disposition of the
average baldheaded man is to show
such solicitude for the welfare uf
|others, that he neglects himself. A

mud turtle has been found near the
city bearing the name Of M. N.Young

was terrapin of good size.
Mr.. Young, who is member of the
state legislature from the Forty
eighth district. explains that he
caught several turtles 26 years ago
when they were small, and cut his
name and the year on their backs
The turtle found proved to be one OF
these.
Mr.. Young caught the turtles near
the lake where the one In question
was found, and thinks it has lived
near the pond ever since his name
was cut on its shell.

OF the French government in increas-

We often ask''What is Osteopathy
How does 1t cure?
Osteopathy is a drugless system OF
medicine which seeks to secure in
the human body structural normality
of its parts, upon which their vitality
and proper functioning depend. -'Man
is machine as we have said, and
depends, for health, upon the proper
adjustment OF all parts OF the ma
chine.
The Osteopath examines your body
as skilled mechanic does a machine
that is out of order. With a detailed
knowledge of anatomy. a sense OF
touch developed to a high degree, he
locates the Embellishments and re-
moves it by scientific manipulation.
Could anything be more reasonable
Tor natural?
The great success attending the
Osteopathic treatment is sufficient
evidence of its worth. 1t is a new
force in science and grows in popu-
larity every day with the layman.
II you suffer of any of the diseases
local to Paducah, you will find
Osteopathy the quickest and surest
cure. Malaria, chronic headaches,
liver and stomach and bowel trou-
bles, nervousness. rheumatism, asth-
ma, neuralgia, lumbago-any Of

A NIGHTSHIRT UNDER DIFFICULT
TIES


TIES.
It is not a coincidence but a rev.
Ielation which makes the story from
Bartlesville interesting. The story
is that after William J. Bryan was
aroused from slumber in Pullman
car to get off at Bartlesville, in the
Indian Territory, he left his night
shirt in the berth he had occupied
The garment fell into the hands OF
Train Conductor Jefferson Davis. who
sent 1t back along the line to the
Icompany's agent, William Mckinley
at Bartlesville. And II was William
Mckinley who handed 1t over to Will
liam j. Bryan. The coincidence In
lanes was rather striking, and JUS
lSlfies the comment being made upon
It. But the revelation which will stir
the headwaters of the Platte is that
the peerless leader who stands for all
the rights of the plain people is SO
addicted to the use of the nightshirt
that he must needs strip himself TO
the buff and then undergo the rack
ing exertlon of putting on q night
shirt behind drawn curtains, stretch
ed at full length. and working the
garment slowly and painfully down
ward until it envelops all of him.
Has 1t come to this, then, that the
leader of the plain people is so OBJ
.sessed with that fetch of the aristoc-
racy. the nightshirt, that he must,
like a veritable parvenu, exaggerate
its uses? Why, there are real aris-
tocrats who shake the nightshirt in
Pullman cars, unless travelling in
compartments or staterooms The
man who insists upon wearing a
nightshirt in a berth is suigeneris;
neither Democrat nor plutocrat.
But where shall the plain people
turn? Hearst's nightshirts are said
to be frilled with rufIies of valen-
oiennes lace, but Hearst has deceived
nobody in that particular. He is an
aristocrat to the finger tips, who in
sists that more men of his caste have
been the real friends of the plain
people than they could ever find in
their own ranks. And Hearst would
not try to put on his nlghtshirt in a
Pullman berth, upper or lower. He
travels in a private car, which Bryan
doesn't, and that is what saves the
situation for the Nebraskan. The
boys at the headwaters of the Platte,
from shore to shore of that long, mar
row peninsula between the north
and south branches as they rush to-
gether in Lincoln county, have grown
to tolerate the sleeping car. Ten
years of uninterrupted Republican
and prosperity have en-
abled many of them to look into
the thing. and find that, so far from
being palace on wheels 1t is cham
