SENATE DOES NO BUSINESS.
Refuses to Pass Bills During Confer
ence ON New TnrifH Act.


Washington, July 13.-The Senate
was In session twenty minutes today,
adjourning at 1920 until Friday. The
major portion of the timss>of the sit
ting was devoted to a discussion of
the unanimous consent agreement not
to transact any business while the. tar
if conference was in progress.
The discussion arose over the effort
on the part of Senator Carter to have
passed a bill pertaining to the AFFAIRS
of the District of Columbia, on the
ground that the bill was such lit
tie one" that no harm could result
from its passage. But Senators Lodge
and Culberson, standing guard over the
interests of the two sides of the cham
Der, objected and thus prevented ac-
ton. The incident served to empha-
size the understanding that no bust
ness will be permitted in the Senate SO
long as the conferees are out.

Most consumers are very busy. and
they expect the newspapers which they

The consumer, is interested in pro-

he is interested in adequate revenue
The people know that the cost Of the
government is great, and every indi-

share in some form of tax. The
amount Of the tax Is the important

Slump In Prices and Tfaae.
A falling off Of about $2O00oO.OO0 in
the export trade OF this country for
the year 1909 as compared with the
average Of 1903 and 1907 IS apparent
from the figures gathered By the bu-
e Of statistics. The causes an
nouneed for this decline are a reduc-
tion In demand and a reduction In
price Of the articles exported In some
cases the prices are the same as they
were or two years ago. perhaps
higher, SO the slump In totals is due to
reduction in the quantity bought by
foreign countries. Where the old fig
ures Of quantity are maintained the
prices are lower.
The decline in demand for American
goods is not exceptional. All export
ing countries have felt It more or less.
Exports to our heaviest foreign GUS
toner. the United Kingdom. declined
$6e.OOO,OOO in the ten months ending
April 1909. but the total decline In
imports by the United Kingdom was
$123,OOO.OO0. In the decline f0odstufs
and manufactures share equally. and
these two items represent fully nine
tenths Of the fall in values. the remain
ing tenth standing for the loss on cot
ton. For this item the quantity ex.
ported shows marked increase, but the
drop In prices will cause a slump Of
about $20.O0O.O00 insthe total value for
the current year.

CONGRESSIONAL DoINGs.

The corporation tax amendment
which was suggested by President
Taft, drawn by Attorney General
Wickersham and presented to the
senate by Mr.. Aldrich. chairman Of
the committee on finance, is an integ.
raj part of the tariff bill as that bill
now stands. After much tribulationi
the senate reached q vote on the
proposition and the amendment was
agreed to by the large vote Of 60 to
II. The motion to substitute an In
come tax in place Of the corporation
tax was defeated, 81 for and AS
against.
In the course Of an answer to ques.
tions in the senate Senator Aldrich;
said he would support the corporation
tax amendment as a means of defeats
ing the income tax. He expressed the
opinion that the corporation tax would
be repealed after two years or the
rate materially lowered.
On motion of Senator Daniel the
senate struck from the maximum and
minimum rate amendment the pro.
vision for a duty of 8 cents a pound
on coffee and of 10 cents a pound On
tea coming from countries which dis.
criminate against the products Of the

Only about one-third of the hides and

mates that imported hides and skins

We export annually leather and a
ufactures from leather equal to about
so per cent Of the value Of the hides

per cent upon ''hides Of cattle" has
been maintained in the hope that pro-
lection would develop the hide in

supply the home demand. Many con-
gressmen and senators continue. to
favor the duty on the ground that 1t
encourages home industry and has no
vital bearing on the price Of shoes or

Keep Smiling.

Don't leave laughter out Of you,

dell Holmes said: "Mirth is Gods med.
icine. Everybody ought to battle In 1t.
Grim care. m~oroseness, anxiety. all the
rust OF life. ought to be secured OF by
the oil Of mirth." Laughter, indeed, IS
a wonderful tonic and youth pre-
server. THE power Of laughter" says
DR.. Marden. was given us to serve a
wise purpose in u economy. 1t is na-
lures device for exercising the internal
organs and giving us pleasure at the
same time"
This is no fanciful assertion. Read
what the Lancet, one Of the most au-
t%horitative medical journals in the
world. has to say about the therapeutic
value of laughter and .i~oviality:
This power of good spirits is a
matter of high moment to the sick and
weakly. 1t is therefore Of the great
est Importance to cultivate the highest
and most buoyant frame of mind when
the conditions will admit. The same
energy which takes the form of men
tai activity is vital to the work Of the
organism. Mental influences affect the
system. and a joyous spirit not only
relieves pain. but increases the momen-
tum of life in the body"
And, it might be added, helps to
keep one not simply strong and well,
but also young.
