Much. Railroad Bond Feature tel
Opposed. Possible it May Pass
In Three Weeks. u.

! Washington, Feb. 1a.-senatos Al
drfch in opening the debate on the
financial bill in the senate made a.
speech yesterday that created ia
Yorable impression among the mem
Of both houses. Senator Aldrich OK
pressed the opinion that the bill Win
pass the senate In it's present form
within three weeks, and he Il conf
dent that the oposition by the Dem
bcrats will be of such a nature az not
TO unduly retard the progress of the
measure.
i The Democrats are expected to line
up in favor of the bill proposed by
MIR. Bailey to authorize the issuance
of treasury notes instead of national
bank notes. Their opposition to the
Aldrich Bill, however, will be only to
she extent of obtaining votes upon
various amendments and record Of
the senate showing the attitude of
the Democratic minority against the
bill and in favor of treasury notes.
The indications are that the highest
vote to be cast against any provision
Of the Aldrioh bill will be that regis
tered against the utilization Of rail-
road bonds as basis for note issues.
Several Western senators, Democrats
and Republicans, and number OF
senators from the South, will vote
against the railroad bond provision.
It is regarded by several senators al
extremely unfortunate that Senator
Nelson was called from the city at
This time, as he was expected to make
Q strong effort to secure an amend.

the guaranteeing OF bank deposits
under certain conditions. Mr.. Nelson
expressed his regret bsfore leaving
that he was obliged to go at this time,
as he was prepared to discuss the banl
deposit question thoroughly In sup.
port of his amendment. Il he is able
TO return to Washington before the
final vote is taken on the Aldrich bill,
there is no doubt that Mr.. Nelson viii
actively participate In the effort tc
have such an amendment incorporated

For Patent Medicine Law.

For Patent Medicine Law.
One of the legislative measures to
be asked by the state anti-saloon
league is law regulating the sale Of
patent medicines. All the points Of
the present mulct law regarding the
sale of whisky will be asked to apply
to the sale of patent medicines.
The league would require that all
drug stores handling these goods be
required to sign permit. and that
all buyers of such medicines that come
under this list sign blank that the
Ingredients to be taken by the patient
is for medicinal purposes only. The
same law that affects minors and in.
ebriates for whisky would apply to the
sale Of patent medicines. The league
claims this legislation because of the
pure food report of analysis of these
medicines showing the large per cent
Of alcoho. in the ingredients.

they occurred to me- and most sincerely trust that they
will be found entirely satisfactory to any seacher after
truth who may be induced to peruse them.
Question. Is it is it not a wisely planned world?
Yes it s for there's plenty of land in it to enjoy your
self your hearts content and then heaps of water to
drown yourself in afterwards.
No. it isn't for all the land that isn't somebody elses is

Yes it is, for while you may have your troubles you've
always got your friends to buttonhoe and tell them to-
No. it isn't for your friends have troubles of their
to tell you about andand theirs are not the only coats
that have buttonhoes.
Yes it is for you can't lose money without other

No. it isn't for pretty much every other poor devil in the
world can lose money ithout your getting it.
Yes it is, for honesty and worth are sure to to
