The following from Charles W.
Brown, publisher Of Hoosick Falls,
N. Y, Democrat, is in line with the
sentiment expressed few weeks ago
by The Enterprise and shows that
those publishers who also run job
plants are beginning to sit up and
take notice:
Is the fact that the government
Of the United States is spending the
money of the people (among thera
printers and publishers) for the pur-
pose Of diverting business from the
printers Of the country a demonstra-
tion of the kind of "squar deal"
the country is going, to get under the
Taft administration?
I am loath to believe it.
But recent events have inspired a
deep distrust that only complete OBJ
liberation of the policy and methods
of the postofice department will re-
place with reinsurance.
If the United States government
can with consistency take away from
the printer the printing of envelopes
on the plea that it can do the work
cheaper because the printing is done
simultaneously with the stamping,
why isn't it just as consistent to
print advertisements on postal cards
for the same reason? Carry this

After three weeks of consideration
the Payne tariff bill was passed by
the House Of Representatives Friday
night by a vote of 217 to 161. One
Republican, Austin, of Tennessee
voted against the measure, and fou1
Democrats, all from Louisiana
Messrs. Broussard, Estopinal, Pujc
and Wickliffe voted for it.
An attempt made by Champ Clark
the minority leader, to recommit the
bill with instructions was signaly
defeated.
The day was filled with excitement
from the moment the Session began
at noon until the last minute. The
members were keyed up to the high
est pitch and a practically full mem
bership remained on duty through
out. The final vote demonstrated the
capacity of the Republican organiza-
ton to get together.
The general public was greatly in
terested in the proceedings and the
galleries were packed. Both the
diplomatic and executive reservations
likewise were fully occupied, one of
the conspicuous observers being Mrs.
Taft, wife of the President.

A little figuring will prove this

"I wish to say I consider that the
American people are deeply indebted
to each and every one of these men.
I cannot exaggerate the pleasure it
gave me to see the officers and en-
listed men of our navy adapting
themselves to strange and unexpect-
ed circumstances and successfully
performing with ability and thor

Our nation can well be proud Of

Buffalo, New York iaT-The
voice of; Niagara WAS mute Sunday
for the. second time III the memory Of
man. The first time was late in Feb
ruary, when following severe
northernly blow, the falls ran dry.
Now, following a severe Southwestern,
the river is frozen solid from bank
to bank.
On Wednesday Of last week the
worst gale of the season and the
most violent in the history Of the
weather bureau for April was re-
corded. The solid ice fields, of Lake
Erie were churned from end to end
and piled in huge conglomerate
mass at the lower end Of the lake.
Unable to escape BY its natural
channels the level, Of the river rose
by leaps and bounds: The highest
food level recorded from previous
years is % feet above the normal.

Friday night the river vas 40 feet
above normal.
Conservative estimates place the
damage at $1,0o0;0O0: 81
ALI the estimates of ultimate dam
age are conditioned bywhat the
weather may have n2store. The best
that can be hoped for is assuccession
of calm, warm days. Then the ice
will meet gradually and subside bit
by bit. For the moment the upper
reaches Of the river are running
clear, but as far as the eye can see
the white mantle Of: the frost blank

should be driven, down onto the jam
