SEN. BACON STIRRED SENATE
GEORGIAN MADE INIPASSIONED
SPEECH ON DIXIE'S PROGRESS
DESPITE UNJUST TAXATION.

WASHINGTON.-The dull routine
of the senate and grinding tedium
of the tariff was suddenly broken
today by Senator Bacon in an i'm
passioned speech upon southern pros
perity and progress since the civil
war.
Though he began his speech
calmly Senator Bacon was gradually
worked up to almost passionate ex-
preston by the Interruptions and re-
marks of senators in the other side
of the chamber. He spoke of the
south as it was during the war and
its amazing industrial progress since
the war in eloquent terms.
Earlier in the day Senator Lodge
had undertaken to reply to the
speech made by Senator Bacon on
yesterday in which the Georgia SEN
ator declared against the protective
tariff principle and protested against
the protective tariff tax. Senator
Lodge said that 30,000,0O0 Ameri-
can Wage-earnerS were protected by
the tariff.
Unfair to Tax Other Half.
Senator Bacon replied by saying
that if one-half of the people abso-
lutely depended upon the tariff for
their livelihood it was unfair and un-
just to tax the other half of the
people to insure the prosperity of
the industrial workers.
He said the taxable property in
| Georgia today was assessed on a val
uatiOn of $500, 100000, and that the
wealth of the south was $20,0O0,-
100000.
Senator Gallinger tainted Senator
Bacon by question as to how much
of the southern prosperity was due
to northern capital. Senator Bacon
replied that only a small part of
, this vast wealth was owned abroad.
He said millions of northern capital
had come into the south, and it's in
Vestment was welcomed by the south
ern people, but that the $20,000,-
! 600, 900 of wealth was due mainly to
the enterprise and energy and cour-
age shown by southerners since the
war.
In speaking of the ravages and
desolation of the war Senator Bacon
paid a beautiful tribute to the hero
ism and devotion of the people of
his section.
! The speech was of kind not often
heard on the floor. 1t was sectional
only in the broadcast and best sense,
and during it's delivery Senator Ba-
con held the undivided attention of
the senate, and the galleries. At
the conclusion of his address he was
warmly congratulated by both demo-
Gratis and republicans

UNCLE SAM HARD TAsKMAsTER.
Made Woman Pay $23 a Month.
Will DepOrt Her Baby.


The United States government, it
has been learned, has acted as the
hardest kind of a taskmaster for
ten months toward a woman who has
been compelled to pay it $25 month
and to earn in addition enough to
keep herself and three children, says
a New York oIspatch. Moreover the
government now that the woman is
no longer able to pay will deport
her two-year-old baby.
These bitterly hard conditions, it
appears, are the result of one of the
immigration laws. When the wo-
man, Mrs. Hode Channin, came to
this country ten months ago one of
her four children, Mechanic, the two
year-old, was found to be suffering
from a child's disease, and was de-
tanned at Ellis Island. The law pro-
vides that the child's board must be
paid for IN such circumstances until
it is cured.
Mrs. Channin sought work in New
York, but could not find it. She
managed to get to Chicago, and for
the last ten months, half the time
facing starvation, she has paid I'm
Gle Sam $23 month for the little
baby's keep on Ellis Island.
1t is not yet cured, and now Mrs.
Channin has lost her position and
cannot send the childs board any
longer. The immigration authori-
ties, unless Washington interferes,
will have to deport the child alone.

ONE MARRIAGE IN TEN BROKEN.
Some Interesting Divorce Statistics
From the United States Census.

oOIuc interesting divorce SJatISGlCS
From the United States Census.
Twenty years ago an investigation
by the department of labor showed
that 328,716 divorces had been
granted in the United States between
1867 and 1886, and that divorces
were increasing two and one-half
times as fast as population. The re-
cent census of 1887-1906 brings to
light 945, 625 divorces and demon
strates that the movement con-
stantly gains in velocity. At present
probably one marriage in ten is
broken, and in some states the pro-
portion may be as high as one in
four. Forty years ago the broad
contrast was between north and
south; but the divorce rates of north
and south have been cOnverging,
whereas those of east and west have
diverged. The central states have
two and One-half times the rate of
the Atlantic states, while for the
western states the proportion is
three and One-half.
