Republicans, turned 20 Fordney and
said:
We'll. Joe. if they'd leave to you and
me to frame up a bill, L believe we
could get together on one that would
pass, anyhow"
Inasmuch as they take diametrically
opposite views of the whole theory Of
tariff, everybody wondered what II
meant. His associates on the commit
tee declare that FoHdney would write
the shortest tariff bill ever undertaken.
1t would read thus:
The importation OF any article which
is produced or could be produced in the
United States, is hereby prohibited
There is an ultra-prOtection hero in
every tariff discussion; and Fordney is
the hero this time Nobody could go
farther than he does, because he goes
the whole thing. He has a great fund
OF tariff information, and on everything g
related 10 lumber, its manufacture pa

is a dangerous man to argue with. He
knows things that other people never
heard Of

MAY SPLIT SENATE
Aldrich and Other Leaders
Bent on Killing Free
Trade Clause.

a fine row is promised in the Senate
over the elimination from the Payne
tariff bill of that feature that provides
for free trade between the United
States and the Philippines.
That Senator Aldrich and some of the
Senate Republican leaders are bent on
doing this is well understood. 1t is ar
gued by some of the Senators that the
question of free trade between this
country and the Philippines ought to be
considered in a separate measure. apart
from the general question Of revision Of
the tariff.
Taft Against Plan.
President Taft is expected vigorously
to oppose the plan TO separate the
Philippine tariff question from that Of
revision Of the tariff as a whole. 1t is
predicted in some quarters that this is
likely 70 result I'm a breach between the
President and those Senate leaders who
are trying to head off free trade with
the Philippines.
Friends Of free trade with the islands
are considerably alarmed and wrought
up over the reports that the Finance
Committee will strike out the part Of
the bill at issue. They see In 1t an
adroit scheme TO prevent any legisla-
ton at all on this subject. They say
the Senate leaders are trying to work
out a plan to segregate the Philippine
tariff matter from general tariff revi-
sion and thus TO kill any movement for
free trade with the islands.

VidaIia Notes.

Vidalia, La, Nov. 20.-Mrs.
Louise Buckner was hostess of the
new club the past week. Organ
izing is rather q difficulty in the
formation of associations as the
best methods are questions not
easily determined until tried, no
two. clubs requiring exactly conn
terpart forms. The name select
ed is very happily chosen from
"Twelfth Night" and "What
You WILL" is the cognomen TAX
ell, determining, no doubt, the
fact that each hostess or each sea-
sop perhaps, the choice of subject
iect matter or entertainment may
be arranged to suit the occasion.
King Lear was decided upon as
the study for the present season
and some rules adopted. Mrs.
Buckner's entertainment of the
club was very charmingly con-
Quoted, her attractive home being
enhanced by the decorations of

freshments were served amid an

The Gazette gladly welcomes to
its exchange table the Richland
Democrat, u new venture that has
recently been launched OH the
troubled sea of journalism at Ray
vile, La. The Democrat is O most
excellent eight-page sheet, teem-
ing with news Of local and gen.
eral interest and is most ably
edited by Hon. T. H. McGregor,
prominent attorney of that
place. While wishing the Demo-
crat the greatest success, we sim
cerely trust it will not prejudice
the interests of our good friend
the Richland Beacon-News, which
has always been strong and
fearless advocate of right and has
supported the best interests of its
parish under sire and son for nigh
onto half a century. There is
ample room in Richland parish
for two good local papers, and if
they will work together in har.
mony, as the two papers in Ten
sas have done, both will flourish
and prosper, and the happiest fra
ternaI feeling prevail, and each
publication will create business
for the other, but if as unfortu.
nately has been the case in so
many instances where two or more
papers are published in the same
town or parish, they go to slash
ing each other and inaugurate q
campaign of "mud-slinging," one
or probably both will eventually
have to suspend. We trust no
bitterness of feeling will be al
lowed to exist between our neigh
bors in Richland and that both
will strive manfully together
along oil economic lines that will
make for the material welfare of
their parish.
In this connection we wish to
extend our heartiest congratula-
ton to Bro H. A. Mangham of
the Beacon-News on his recent
marriage and sincerely wish them
the greatest happiness in life.

TalIulah Electric Lights A Success.

and quite a number of business

equipped for the incandescent
circuit. No decision has yet been
made as to what will be done
towards the water supply for the
plant, as the water in the last
strata, reached at a depth of over
100 feet, still continues too salty
for use, and an analysis indicates
considerable vegetable matter
The water at a 20O-foot level will
in all probability be used, as it
is free from salt and of very good
quality. There is a movement OIL

The joint meeting of the Round
Table Society of the st. Joseph
High School, with the Seven Stars
Society and the other depart
ments of the school, to render
Thanksgiving programme, was
held in the Kindergarten Wednes-
day, November 24th.
Glasses were suspended during
the last period, and the school,
together with q few visitors, as
sembled to enjoy the programme,
of which every child was a part.
The little folks under Miss Ray
mond's careful training acquitted
themselves very admirably, when
with bright, happy faces, they
spelled out "T-H-A-N-K-S-G-I-V-
ING" each holding a large,

rendered by the pupils of the 4th,

"The First Thanksgiving" in
Guiding the historical characters,
Miles Standish, the Pilgrims and

"Samoit," carried all back to the

The Round Table Society then
gave its part, number of excel.
lent selections, among which was
the paper of the President, Mr..
Sam Hazlip, on "The Privileges
an American Citizen To-Day En-.
joys"
Altogether the exercises were
most creditably rendered, very
appropriate aud exceedingly in
teresting and were greatly EN-
joyed by all.
Due to the zeal which Prof
Springfield has infused among the
members of the Round Table
greater interest is being taken il
the work of the Society, and the
preparation of papers on sundry
topics is no longer considered
"bug. BEAR" but the work is en-
tered into by the members with
utmost enthusiasm, with the re-
suit that each succeeding meeting
denotes increased attendance anC
growing interest.
