HOUSE.
Indiana Senator Preparing to Protect
Ultimate Consumer When Tariff
Bill Reaches Senate.

Washington, April 6.-The ultimate
consumer, the man who IN the last
analysis carries the burden OF govern
ment. will not be without champions
in the Senate Wien tariff legislation
is under consideration OF that body.
The interests never lack for advo-
Gates in the committee rooms and on
the floor OF the Senate, but IN times
past the ultimate consumer has not
had much of a show there. An ele-
ment OF the Senate consisting OF
strong and progressive senator's Is or
gar1izing to look after the needs and
desires of the ultimate consumer. In
this connection the Washington
lines says this evening:
Senator Beveridge of Indiana,
who has been away from Washington
recuperating, will return to the CAPT
stal this week, and will Immediately
prepare for a vigorous campaign on
the tariff bill in the Senate Mr.. Bev-
eridge is now at Atlantic City, and
will come back to Washington in
excellent physical condition. 1t is the
understanding that the Indiana Sena-
tor proposes to conduct a hard fight
in the Senate on certain features OF
the tariff measure.
mot only will Mr.. Beveridge seek
to emphasize the importance OF hav-
ing tariff commission. movement
in which he has long been interested,
but he also will undertake to force
to the lowest notch the du-
ties on the necessaries of life In this
he will be joined by number of
other senators on both the Reprbli-
can and Democratic sides of the
chamber. Mr. Beveridge feels. it is
understood, that the ultimate con-
sumner should be: given some relief
from the high cost of living, and that
at any rate his burdens should not
be made greater as many believe the
Payne bill will make them.
"The fact that Mr. Beverage will
take this stand and that other sena-
tors are going to do likewise, points
TO real battle over the tariff bill in
. the Senate. One result of it will
doubtless be to force vote ON the
proposition to pass an income tax
measure"

The North Mancfle ster case is giving
him good deal of worry. Jonas

ward him, but the postoffice depart
ment is not quite satisfied with his
administrator. Another candidate
with good backing is David Whist
Ter. There are two or three other
candidates, one of them a woman.
The senator is expected to suggest
postmasters for Bremen, Wakarusa
and Eaton soon after he returns.
Senator Beverage has declined to
approve the application for the
change of the name of THE postoffice
at Lima TO Howe. The agitation for
the change has been going on for
some time. TIL Howe Military acad-

VETS WIN in
TWO COUNTIES
BLACKBOARD AND CASS JOIN
WAYNE COUNTY IN DE-
FEATING OPTION.
Fight, Led by Liberal Business Ele-
ment, Backed by Clever Political
Generals.

The local option wave which has
been sweeping Indiana dashed UP
against the Blackboard and Cass Coun-
ty barriers Tuesday and received a
setback which breaks the great
string of victories for the anti-saloon
cause.
Both Blackford and Cass co1Inties
by their votes Tuesday indicated
preference for the regularly licensed
saloons, and go on record with
Wayne county for the "wets."
The margin OF victory in Blackford
County was ISL, and while il is small,
the 'wets" assert it is sufficient justi-
ication for their predictions based on
a careful poll OF the county by a
organization OF political
workers.

MUSIC APPEALS TO ESKIMOS.
According to Traveller in Regions
of the North.

Music is one of the chief pleasures
and accomplishments of the Eskimos
At the Labrador missions yioins are
used by them in the church choir, and
brass bands are organized. In Along
the Labrador Coast" DR.. Townsend
tells OF an evenings entertainment
with the Eskimos at Main.
For over an hour these natives sing
to u.s. he says, familiar music with
Eskimo words-'Rock Of Ages 'Hol,
Night, interspersed with what take
TO be secular songs. Their voices are
harmonious and the singing Is OF a
superior order. We return the compli-
ment in the only way we can with a
sraphophone. 1t is indeed a terrible
come-down to "rhe Old Apple Tree and
Everybody Works But Father but the
Eskimos seem to enjoy it, and greet
the songs and their explanation by
the interpreter with peals Of laughter.
"A song in which a man beats his
wife seems especially to amuse them.
A Moravian brother told me that they
had been unable to win the Eskimo
from the wife-beating habit. Even
the wives resent any Interference on
this score.
IAN Irish jig makes them shake with
Joy, and l am sure they would dance
were there room to stir"

CARPET SWEEPER TOO NOISY.
Dealer Left with Memory Of Good
Joke to Compensate Him for
Loss Of Sale.

A hardware dealer In town tells q
story about prim old lady who came
into his store the other day to pur-
chase a carpet sweeper. She gazed
here and there about the store as she
entered. and finally going up to the
dealer she looked at him quizzically
over her glasses and asked: do you
keep carpet sweepers?"
Yes, madam" replied the dealer
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock, asked which she de
sired.
Well" said the lady, you may
show me both kinds, II you will"
Just moment. madam, until got
them from the rear Of the store" And
with that he went to an obscure cor
ner and took down the carpet-sweepers
from their hooks upon the wall.
1t happened that in front Of one OF
the makes which he desired there was
lawn mower SO hung that he had to
move 1t. He took it down from the
hook and as he did so 1t rolled alone
the floor with grinding rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front Of the store: That makes more
noise than my old one, and I don't
care to look at It," and so saying, she
whisked out to the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke was
worth the loss of the sale.-Portland
