FUNNY For Her.

A New England lad was intently
watching his aunt I'm the process Of
making pies and cake. He seemed
very much inclined 10 start a conVcr-

the aunt in no way encouraged. She
continued in silence TO assemble the
ingredients OF mammoth cake.
''Teli me something funny, auntie,"
finally ventured the boy.
"Don't bother me. Tommy" said the
aunt. "How can i when l am making
cake?"
"Oh, you might say, Tommy, have a
piece OF the pie I've Just made That
would be funny FOR you."-Exchange.

Council Acts Carefully

Tho Town Council. at special
noa,iny Monday night, voted
AGAINST paying for a line of water
pipe across the n. & w.'s new
depot site.
1t appears that it will be abso-
,o,elv necessary for the railway
company to lay line OF small pipe
% their station, for water for that
structure.
II was suggested to the Council
that il would be well to- furnish a
Ainch water main pipe for that
work and that the railway company
would install it. This, in after
years. would give a line of pipe
sufficient to supply any residences
or manufacturing plants which
may be erected on the Mccormick
property; would be great con-
yenience: and would save money
20 the Town as we'll as to the indi-
yidual property owners.
The railway company was favor
ably to the project, but the Council
voted againstit, principally because
Of the low state ef finances.
Ii was estimated that the cost
for pipe would be about S4OO,
while the work and material for
laying it would be about an equa!
sum. The railway company was
willing to expend its half for the
labor and material for laying, but
the Council hesitated about spend
ind the S400 for pipe.
We think it a great pity the
matter could not have been worked
successfully, but, as above-statcd,
the Council held back because Of
lack of money.
II somebody will start public
subscription to raise the s400 for
the pipe, the COURIER will head
the list with so donation.

BerryYille Bill Lost

The bill to make the Town of
Berryville separate election dis
trict, and which passed the House
of Delegates by almost unanimous
vote, was lost in the Senate, prin-
cipally because Senator Parks
would do nothing for it-oragainst
it.
Enough votes to insure its pas
sage had been pledged. but the bill
was not reached on the calendar.
and, when motion To take it up
out of It's order was made, four
hfths vote was required. The vote
stood 26 in favor of the bill and s
against it, the vote in favor of the
bill lacking three votes of being a
four-fifths majority. The bill was
therefore not taken up, and was
lost by the adjournment of the
Legislature.
n gentleman who was in Rich
mond at the time tells US that he
thinks Senator Parks was not
present when the bill was voted on.
The powerful machinery of the
Anti-Saloon League was invoked
against the bill, and it is supposed
that the votes against it we're in
fluenced by their arguments. 1t
can readily be seen that their
efforts found little support. how
ever, as the bill would certainly
have been passed by an over
whelming vote if il had been
reached on the Senate calendar.
As the COURIER stated repeat
edly, the bill did not have as it's
object the holding Of another local
option election here before the two
years had elapsed from the last
one, but the opposition insisted
that the bill could have no other
purpose, and, through that repre-
sentation, secured number of
slgners To their petition against it.
The opponents have nothing to
feel proud of except its death by Il
failure 10 reach il on the Senate
calendar, as the Senators knew
about what effect the bill would
have. and voted accordingly when
the bill was called up out of its
order.
The COURIER now proposes To
start movement looking to the
changing of the District line
in Longmarsh to conform to the
Corporation line; and companion
movement looking to the extension
of the Corporate limits to the foot
of Cemetery Hill on the north; to
the Toll Gate on the east; and to
take in Josephine City on the
south.
The sections named will take in
some valuable property; they now
receive fire, police and water pro-
lection Tin case of fire., and should
be a part of the Corporation in
point of fact as we'll as technically.

STAND PAT SPEECH.
delivered by Secretary Wilson at
Kenton, Ohio.

Kenton, o.. Sept. 17.-Seeretary of
Agriculture Wilson in a speech today
In defense of Republican policies de-
ciared past experience justified appre-
nenS1on as to what would be done IL
the Democratic party should obtain
control of the government. This OBJ
serVation followed a glowing review
of the new tariff law.
We have good times now" Secre-
tary Wilson said, land have had since
Mckinley became the advance agent
of prosperity The revision of the
tariff has lost no man his job; no PAN
10 has followed. The new schedules
average lower than the Dingley bill.
A further reduction of tariffs general
~ would hit the working people first.
Europe has lower wages than the
United States and would promptly
take advantage of lower duties. The
farmer would lose his customers and
prices for both factory and farm
goods would come down."
President Taft, the secretary con-
tinued, had insisted upon keeping in
good faith the Republican platform
promises and congress had met plat
form requirements.
THE legislation enacted during the
first IS months of President Taft's ad-
mln1stration has no parallel until we
go back to the legislation enacted dur
Ing the civil war; said Secretary
Wilson.
Food is cheap no longer. Popula-
ton has increased faster than produc-
ton from the SOIL The governments
policy of giving farms to the people
has exhausted the supply in the re-
gions where rain fall usually assures
good crops. High prices of fresh
meats and of their products causes
much concern. Much more product
i've Of costliness to the retail distribu-
ton of meat is the OVERRIDING of the
retail business. The multiplication of
small shops is a burden to consumers
and no source of riches to the small
shopkeeper.''
The secretary declared high prices
will encourage better production and
cultivation and that these will enable
the farmer to meet the demands of
increasing population

LUMBER RATES HELD UP.
Advance Is Suspended by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE general adj
vance in the freight rates on lumber by
the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
road which is participated in by $50 other
interstate carriers, was suspended today
by the interstate commerce commission
The tariff suspended provides for ad-
vances principally on yellow pine lumber
from all points on the line of the Vicks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific company in
the yellow pine territory to all points in
the United States.
After a examination of the tariff the
commission under the existing law sus-
pended its operations until January S, 1911,
because it was held that the increases
ARE unlawful and that the rates, fares or
charges established by said schedules are
unjust and unreasonable" The proposed
ing the commission an opportunity to in
vestigate them and to determine whether
or not they are reasonable.
