A Novel Argument


The photographers of the country, in
terested in the manufacture of illustrated.
postal cards, have adopted novel means
of interesting the senate in their cause.
They want the duty on post cards in.
creased. and claim. of course, that de-
struction threatens them unless the SEN
ate comes to their relief.
Many Of the illustrated post cards sold
in this country bear. in fen print. at
each corner. the statement that they
were printed in Germany. The American
photographers have purchased thousands
and thousands of these cards. With ordi.
mar yblue pencils they have UNDERSIGNED
three times the made in Germany and
directed attention to it by means Of
spear-like pointer, also in blue pencil,
drawn across the face of the card. Then
with a rubber stamp each card has been
made to impart the information that "the
imports amount to 100000 daily" and that
the industry in Americ will perish un-
less the rates of the Payne bill are in
creas ed.
Every member of the senate has re-
ceived scores of such post cards. The
American photographers have been bonn
harding the senate with them as a silent
argument for increased duties.

What Lodge Said

nary blue pencils they have UNDERSIGNED
the senate bill. carrying the amendments
TO the cotton schedule, there appeared
in Boston and New York newspapers an
interview with Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, member of the finance COM
mittee. saying, in effect, that the tex
tiles manufactured in New England had
been provide additional protection. Dolli-
yer, in his speech. read this interview,
which Lodge promptly denied. but which,
nevertheless, he gave out, and which.
strangely enough. was true in every de-
tail. Lodge. however, was talking for
home consumption, and probably never
dreamed that the interview would be
drawn on him the senate in support OF
a vigorous attack on the cotton sched-
ule
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-05-11

at the cotton schedule of the senate bill,
though he dwelt at considerable IengJn
upon the wooden duties. The cotton
schedule. which applies to manufactured
cotton goods Is the apple of Aldrich's
eye. He is more interested in preserving
the amendments to this schedule than he
is in any other or all the other schedules
combined. Dollfver evidently knows this,
consequently he selected touchous point
with the senate, leader.
The senate amendments to the cotton
schedule change the duties from specific
to ad valorem, and Aldrich has declared
the change. which, he said, was proposed
in the interest of uniformity, was not q
raise. 1t develops, however, that Aldrich
was a little careless in this statement.
An examination by experts discloses that
in some instances the duties have been
increased over three hundred per cent by
means of this change from specific to ad
valorem rates.
Aldrich is of course interested in the
defeat of the ineom tax amendment, but
IL has been stated that he would sacrifice
even this, if necessary, to insure the
adoption of his amendments, to the scot
ton schedule: And the cotton schedule,
be it understood. is almost as complicat-
ed as is the wooden schedule 1t is prac-
tically impossible for the average man
to understand and appreciate all Of its
details and ramifications. The one known
fact is that the Aldrich amendments to
this schedule provide for enormous in
creases.
Aldrich comes from New England.
where the bulk of the fine cotton goods
of the country is manufactured. The in
creases in the cotton schedule, il APP
pears. are mainly upon the finer grades
of cotton goods, and will not operate to
the benefit of the southern cotton manu-
facturers. Naturally. he is interested in
helping home industries.

ENDURANCE OF OAK.

Out of the discarded rail fences
on the old farm in Phoenix precinct
William Mathes is storing up at his
home a supply of oak wood for
household use. This is not a very
remarkable fact in itself, but there
are some particulars in connection
that make a good story of it. Fifty
six years ago, after Mr.. Mathes had
settled in the Rogue river valley and
began to hew his farm out of the
wilderness, he himself made these
identical rails. There they have
withstood the ravages of more than
half a hundred of winters and sum-
mers. Except in the case of dot
tom rails resting on the ground,
the timber in them was well pre-
served, and Mr.. Mathes had them
hauled to his home in Ashland for
frewood, and in this way, he says,
they pay for the new fence and fur
nish the very best of fuel.-AshIand

ROSE TREE.

Of the actual work of Gordon's
hands there remains but a rosebush
in the palace garden, which, hewn
down by the malice of his enemies,
sprang to life again with the COM
ing of spring. 1t is af~fectionately
tended by al old Sudanese sergeant
who was one Of Gordon's men, and
stands in the midst of an earthly
paradise.
This rose tree was found bloom
ing beside the ruins when on the
second day after its red victory at
0mdurman a British army was
drawn up, in the full pomp Of war,
beside the last earthly habitation Of
Charles George Gordon, to give him,
in the religion Of the three king
doms, the most solemn funeral serv-
ice ever read over a general killed in
battle.

Three pet Pomeranian dogs were
among the principal mourners at
the funeral of their mistress, at
Blackburn, England, being accom-
modated in the leading coach next
the car containing the lady's re-
mains. Mrs. Harris had been an in

ly expressed a wish that her canine
pets should attend her funeral, her

attendant, aud after the arrival of

ONE DEFECT IN THE CHICKEN
Let the Men Of Science Get 6usy and
Try to Graft Il on the
centipede.

Never since Nero ate ounce pre-
serves has the chicken of commerce
had enough legs. All of them have
enough legs to walk on and to
scratch with, the game-cocks can put
up a great fight with EN-, and as
long as the chicken is alive there III
legs enough on him-or her-as the
case may be. But the moment you
prepare the chicken for the table.
when it lies resting in gravy and
dressing and is the center of inter-
est, you realize that it hasn't legs
enough to go round. Some people
like the white breast, some prefer
dark meat, and there are even those
who call for the gizzard and the
neck. But most of them like the
leg. As the common or garden
chicken has but two legs, there are
never enough to supply the demand.
Mamie calls for the drumstick.
Johnnie wants the leg, Willie wants
a leg just like Johnnie's, and that
leaves father and mother with not
a single chicken leg to their names.
And if company has come to dinner
the whole family has to sit around
and watch the visitors hold the
drumstick by the bone end and eat
the sweet meat, while the family is
left legless and forlorn.
