SENATOR'S DISCUSSING
 HUMAN SLAVERY AGAIN
A Ghost That It Seems Has Not Yet Been
 EffeCtuaIy Laid
In the House, Chairman Fowler Made Exhaustive Speech Opposing Bond Secured Currency-Bryan Docs Social Turn and Talks Finance.

Washington, Jan 27.-Greatly to the surprise of everyone the subject of slavery was introduced in the senate today and Secretary Taft was directly charged with having knowledge of slavery in the Philippine Islands. The debate was made pertinent by sections of a bill revising the criminal code of the United States, which provided penalties for dealing in slaves. MT. Hale asserted that such provisions should be stricken out as he regarded slavery as obsolete in the United States and he could see no reason for referring to it.
 MT. Heyburn. in charge of the bill, declared that not only is there inn moral traffic in white slaves, but that coolie labor in the form of practical slavery does exist and added that ac- tual human slavery is still maintained in the Philippines. MT. Lodge made a statement to disprove the charges of slavery in the Philippines.

THE PENNSYLVANIA
 CAPITOL STEAL GASES
A Request by the State That the
 Architect be Siven a Separate Trial.

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 27.-The fea ture of the first day of the trial of the capitol prosecutions which began in the Dauphin county court this morning was the argument of the common wealth for separate trial for Architect j. H. Huston. The state objects tO mo- tions of Huston's four confederates for separate trials which motions were overruled by the court. The action of the commonwealth in agreeing to a separate trial for Huston has given rise to rumors that the architect '~Vill turn states evidence. and tell all he knows of the alleged frauds in the fur nishings for the new capitol. The all acrtY with which the commonwealth agreed to a separate trail for Huston was evidently a surprise to the attor- neys for the other defendants. Con trastor John H. Sanderson, former auditor general William H Snyder. former state treasurer. w. L.Mathues. James NJ. Shumaker. former superin tendent of grounds and buildings. The entire day was taken up with the fu- tile efforts of the attorney for the four defendants to obtain separate trials and the selection of a jury, which was cOmpleted.'
 In the case which is being tried first the commonwealth will try to Nshow the defendants conspiracy to cheat and defraud the state by paying for the furniture in excess of the contract price and by falsifying the measure ments. Neither Congressman Cassell. whose Pennsylvania construction company supplied the metallic furni- ture for the capitol nor the remaining eight defendants figure in the five conspiracy cases called today.

Present Need Of World.

I believe that what this world today
needs more than anything else is q
conception Of life. Go into different
countries, and you will find different
political needs, different social needs,
different intellectual needs, for each
nation has it's problems, and it's people
are meeting these problems in their
own way. But, wherever you go, you
will find that the greatest need of all
people everywhere is an adequate con-
ception of life. I know of no concep-
ton of life that is a sufficient one ex-
cept the conception that Christ gave
when the question was brought TO him
by the disciples as to which should be
greatest in the kingdom of heaven; his
answer was Let him who would be
chiefest among you be the servant of
ALL" (Applause.l Service is the meas
ure of greatness. 1t has always been
true; ii is true today; 1t always will
be true-that he is greatest who does
the most good And if service Is the
measure of greatness, who will deny
that the Catholic church has earned
it's right to be called great by the ser
vice that it's members are performing
for the people of this whole world to-
day. Great applause.)

For claar Smokers.

When you smoke cigar you want
a good one. A poor cigar is rank
abomination and stencil in your own
nostrils and in those of your friends
within smelling distance.
The trouble with most Of us is to
find a cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an exorbitant price for it. 1t
remained for Frank P. Lewis Of
Peoria, H., TO solve the problem for
us. His Lewis Single Binder DC cigar
is without doubt the peer of any brand
of 10c cigars on the market. The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich, satisfying smoking quail
tiles are delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs
everywhere. In spite of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the sales this year will ex-
coed 100000, the demand being Gre
ated solely on the high quality of the
tobacco used.

History is replete from beginning to
the present with tales of graft and

zest, the work of the fictionists and
the historian would be prosy reading.
