battle signal is hung out The at
tack on the direct primary law has him
in the air, too. He does not expect a
nomination from the machine and says
that he would not take nomination
from any faction or one with any string

sustained he could go to the people

TARIFF BILL NEAR
ITS LAST READING
Works of Art More Than Is
Years Old Placed on
Free List
Starch industry Protected by
Increase in the Duty
on Tapioca

WASHINGTON, June 12-Having
completed consideration of items of the
tariff bill that had been passed over
objections by senators during its sec
ond reading, the adjournment of the
senate today marked an important
period in the progress of the measure.
When the bill is again taken up it
will be upon its third reading for the
final disposition of items upon which
the most pronounced objections have
been made
OLD ART WORKS FREE
In completing the second reading of
the bill, number of items in the
free list were disposed of. Works of
art over 20 years old, and collections
illustrating the progress of arts over
100 years, which were placed in the
free list by the committee on finance
We're retained there by a vote of SO to
10. fight was made on this amend
ment on the ground that it would allow
wealthy men to decorate their homes
with European oil paintings and other
artistic products of the old world
without the payment of duty, and that
it would permit the entry of many art
collections now stored abroad without
any benefit to the revenues of the gov
ernment.
The amendment was defended by
both republicans and democrats on the
ground that its result would be both
educational and refining, and that
works of art of the age indicated
could not come into competition with
the products of American painters and
sculptors. This will permit the great
art collection made by ]. Pierpont Nor
gan at the expenditure of many mil
lions of dollars and now stored in Lon
don, to be brought here.
The starch industry received protec-
tion by a reversal of the recommends
tions made by the committee, by which
tapioca and sago would be subject to
duty of 1 cent q pound when not i'm
ported for food. Senator Nelson opened
the fight upon the free admission of
these products on the ground that they
were used largely by the cotton cloth
and oil cloth industries in competition
with starch made from potatoes and
corn

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The prospects are that there
will be a large crop of candidates
for sheriff of this county.
Among some of the early
aspirantS are the same men who
ran four years before, namely:
Walter Black and VIM. ChiIders,
Republicans. 1t is not easy to
test the strength of either Black
or Childers, as a strong Yates
and Cullom faction existed be-
fore when Black got the nomin-
alton through a ''fusion' and
left the Childers men "sore, -
consequently Black was defeated
for the election by Werner. Now
there is no faction.
Other men who have been
mentioned are: H. Mester. Dr.
}. A. Wheeler and Hon. w. J.
Butler. For the nomination
every man should run on his
merits and then every defeated
man rally to the victor.
The following county offices
are to be filled: Superintendent
of schools, treasurer, judge,
clerk, probate judge, probate
clerk, and several minor Offices,
but as yet there are no men
known to be out for the places
1t. is supposed that T. E. Lyon,
H. w. Wilson and Logan Hay T.,
will aspire 20 fill there own places
again, but these men have not
affirmed any of these bare rumors.
