Senator Beveridge, the Indiana ora
tor, paid an eloquent tribute to Sena-
tor Allison of Iowa in his recent
speech before the senate. In speaking
OF the Importance of keeping trained
men in public life he made the fol-
lowing reference: Suppose. for ex-
ample. the senator from Iowa (Mr.
Allison), the loved and honored
leader of this body, man whose
work for nearly half century has so
enriched his country, which in return
so much reveres him and who every
member of this body, without regard
to party. fervently prays may remain
with us as our leader for many and
many long year to come-suppose
the senator from Iowa were to leave
his tremendous duties as chairman
of the appropriations committee"
Senator Beveridge then told of the
services rendered in the senate by Mr..
Allison, his knowledge of affairs of
government and declared that his
services were practically indispens-
able.

mitted free of duty 70 this country
on and after July j, 1908. Much
complaint is coming in from all parts
of the country over the wire situation.
Representative Haugen has been in
conference with the department of
agriculture lately, and. that depart
ment has been making extensive in
vestigations as to the quality of fence
wire manufactured and sold at present.
AS a result. it is found that wire of
modern manufacture is much inferior
to that made twenty years ago. The
same is true as to steel sheets used for
roofing, smoke flues. locomotive tubes,
gas pipes and the like.
