MANY HAPPY RETURNS.
Democrats Congratulated Uncle Joe ".
His Birthday.

| His Birthday.
The following pleasant incident toos
place at the close of the session of the
house on May 4:
| Mr.. Clark of Missouri-Mr. Speaker
a parliamentary inquiry.
The Speaker-The gentleman will
state it.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri-Is not this the
anniversary of the birthday of the
speaker of this house?
The Speaker-It is hardly in order to
interrupt roll call
Mr.. Clark of Missouri simply wish
to say that We all wish you many hap
py returns.
The Speaker-Except by unanimous
consent it is hardly in order to inter-
rupt a roll call, but in the absence of
objection ! sincerely thank the gentle
man from Missouri, my personal friend
as | am his. my political opponent, as
l am his. for his kindly remembrance
OF this the seventy-second anniversary
of my birth. | sometimes wish | could
forget 1t and that everybody else could !;
but. after all. it is some COMPENSATION
for being seventy-two that friends rec
ollect the birthday anniversary with
kind words and thoughts. Many years
of service in the house of representa-
tives authorize me to state. as | have
stated before that. so far as | know or
believe. there is no greater legislative
body than the bodies which constitute
the congress of the United States. And
after these years of service | want to
say that in my judgment the personnel
OF the SiStieth congress is anite equal
to the personnel of any congress in
which | have served.
In filibustering times we occasionally
have something of temper. something
of temporary feeling. In all contests
between virile men touching matters
of Importance TO the country and to
civilization the controversies are sharp.
and as ours is government through
parties there is a political game to
play for advantage in approaching
campaigns. But be il said that. while
we are partisanS in the country and
partisans in the house. we are all citi-
zens of the same country. and on each
side of the center aisle there are integ-
rity, fidelity and patriotism. and the
policies we advocate are those which.
as we see them from our respective
standpoiuts. We believe to be best for
the whole country. And one of the
things noticeable in the house and one
of the things belonging to our civiliza-
tion here in the United States is that
in our contests we do not strike below
the belt. or il perchance In temper
some individual so strikes he regrets
it II he does not regret it be drops

Not at One Stroke.

Representative Leake of New Jersey
has kindly outlined a plan for tariff
revision. He says. THE Democratic
party will not wipe out the tariff with
one stroke of legislation" Which GER
tainly is very considerate of Congress-
man Leake. But II has n suspicious
sound. as suggesting the Democratic
scheme Of horizontal reduction propos-
ed n generation ago and which seemed
based on the principle that cutting OFF
n dogs tail little ut time would
not hurt as much as though the ampu-
tation of the member were performed
ut one fell swoop. That motion was
never carried out. although 1t did con-
duce 10 national hilarity. Congress
man Leake should have more original
ity or keener sense of humor.-Troy

1T HAS GOT TO COME.
Battle For Protection May as Well Be
Fought to q Finish.

FoUSht TO q FINISH.
1t makes little difference whether
Bryan or Johnson should be nominated
at the Democratic national convention
so far as the tariff is concerned. While
they may differ on some other public
questions, they stand practically to-
gcther when ii comes to revising the
schedules. They have no use for the
principle Of protection. They would go
at the tariff law with an AK sharpened
for slaughter. They would slash and
hack regardless of anything but a gen.
eral and drastic reduction.
Perhaps the people want this sort Of
thing. II they do. then Bryan or John
son offers them the opportunity for
tearing away the barriers of protection
and reducing the wage scale of Amer
lea TO the low system that prevails in
other countries. One great proposition
of the protective idea is to maintain
duties that will at least take into con-
sideration the differences in wages. We
fear that this proposition would not
have much left to stand upon should
the Democratic party succeed in carry
ing the next election.

Biggest Socialist
IS s. Years Old

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Nov. 5.-Af-
ter the most remarkable political cam
paign tour in history. Eugene V. Debs,
socialist candidate fer president in the
contest Just closed, is today resting
from his laborS and celebrating the
53rd anniversary of his birth. Although
rerorts from the election have been
confined principally to the returns OF
the major parties, and it is yet too
early to definitely compile the socialist
vote. there is every Indication that 1t
has been extraordinarily large through
out the country Mr.. Debs is constantly
receiving reports from comrades al.
over the land, and enc and all are en-
thusiastic and confident Of showing
great gains. If the socialist party has
surpassed all past records the recent
trip of Dcbs in the red special III
which he covered $4,000 miles, and
made more than 500 speeches. has prob
ably been largely responsible.
No one has ever cast any serious
doubts on Deb's s.trecty or his I'M
sacrificing devotion t., the cause Of So
cialism. The hope Oh "a: future Co
operative commonwealth is far more
to him than the hCLe of heaven to

+ NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.
]. By Catharine Mann PaZant


NEW YORK, Nov. all the new
shades are of the sOftest tones, and
the idea is not contrast, but costumes
and hats Of one tone in it's different
tints. A solid color is almost as much
avoided as the contrast.
Some of the new colOrs are known
as orchid, wistharia, amethyst, gera-
NUNS pink, mulberry. salmon mole
grey, smoke, NazimOva, peacock and
canard blues, Copenhagen, gobelin, ia
cinte, lanagea green, grey blue and
ashes of rose. One of the very newest
tints is "Pilsener" a new color which
is seen in some of the very latest i'm
portations. 1t is a pale, yet warm look
ing yellow. hardly deeper than cream.
These colors are found to best adj
vantage among those fabrics intended
for the directoire modes, which in

to have the matter again taken I'D in

Debs quit a position that paid him
$500 a year as secretary and treas
urer and editor of the magazine for

men and took the leadership in the
American Railway Union at a salary Of
SIS a month When the great union
of labOring men for the railways be-
came a failure the organization had
obligations which totaled more than
$40, 900. This man Debs instead of do
ing as many. yea, as the average per-
son might have done, took it upon
himself to s.uare up the accounts Of
the defunct organization. He was ably
assisted but it is true that for 10
years. OR perhaps longer. a great part
of his income received from platform
work and editorial work. was devoted
toward paving off the debts he had
contracted in behalf of the American
Railway union He is square with the
world today on this score. and this is
an accomplishment which serves
more strongly to indicate the charac-
ter of the man.
Debs twice served as clerk of the
city OF Terre Haute having been elect
ed on the democratic ticket, and later
he represented Vigo county in the
legislature. Aside from this he has
never held public office, although in
1904 he was named to lead the social
list party as head of the national ticket,
and was again named for that honor
this year.

The 1909 Crop Discussed.

While the question as to whether a
crop OF tobacco is to be grown in 1909,
Will not be officially determined until
after the election of the officers of the
hurley Tobacco Society for another
year, growers are already discussing
the subject among themselves. The
opinion prevails to a large extent that
crop will be grown.
The organizat;ol recently formed at
Bowling Green, representing all of the
tobacco organizations of Kentucky and
tennessee will probably have an i'm
portant bearing on the question.
The cutting out of the crop in one
district has had the tendency to in
crease the crop in the other districts
that grow an entirely different kind OF
tobacco, and the general organization
is designed to prevent this. 1t is ex-
pected to bring all of the tobacco dis
trlcts into closer relations and to result
In the cooperation on a broader scale.
There is great confidence that the
1907 crop of hurley now in poll will be
sold at satisfactory prices and the
opinion of those who are informed as
to the conditions of the tobacco trade
is that 1909 crop will be needed.
Present prices Indicate scarcity.
