LaFolZette Exposes Carter

the great centers of finance where for
the most part securities of the char
acter are owned
Where the senate bill repudiated the
centralization of savings bank funds
in the money centers, and by its terms
precluded their investment in 2 per
cent bonds the house bill fitted like a
hand in a glove every scheme of Wall
street finance and system legislation.
On the 18th of June. two days after
the bill came from the house, Senator
Carter, in charge of the bill in the SEN
ate, moved that the senate concur in
the house amendment.
To those who have not given ex-
tended study to the history of impor-
tant measures in congress the extraor-
dinary character of this course will
not be appreciated. 1t is not the want
of the senate to surrender without a
struggle on important differences with
the house it's deliberate, carefully con-
sidered and emphatically declared
convictions. The history of confer
ences supports the claim that the SEN
ate is most insistent and most sue
cessful in conference; that the senate
has its way on about two-thirds Of
these compromises.
1t was grand unmasking. 1t was a
confession Of system perfidy. The ac-
ton of the senate leaders" belied all
their previous protest. They shouted
from the dome of the capitol, 1.-The
house bill, not the senate bill, is the
bill we want" And their votes and
their conduct of the legislation show
ed that the house bill they were deter
mined to have. The senate surreAd.

TEN.
The protests of progressive senators
through whose efforts the public in
terests had been safeguarded in the
passage of the senate bill were in
vain.
An amendment by Senator Bacon to
strike out the house provision for the
purchase of government bonds, was
rejected by vote of "a to "a, and "a
not voting.
An amendment by Senator Cummins
to require the board of trustees to des-
ignate postoffices repositories by a
rule to be uniform throughout the
country, was rejected by a vote of %
to "a, and 80 not voting.
An amendment by Cummins, practi-
cally Identical with the Borah amend
ment agreed to in the senate bill to
forbid the investment of postal saw
ings funds in government bonds bear
ing 2 IA per cent interest, was re-
jected by vote of 90 to 81, and 23
not voting.
Other amendments, in accord
with the policies which had been de-
clared in the senate bill were in like
manner rejected by the senate, and
the house bill was agreed to.

exigency affecting the public credit

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION, ETC.

To the casual observer and to the novice at the science of fire fighting, Front street presents rather interesting picture these days. Down the center of the street is of wood piled to the second of the buildings either side One is compelled to walk half block in order to reach the sidewalk
 The first thought that to you is,-How would the fire fighters get at certain building from the street. We know they can't get it from the sidewalk and there is to the of the buildings for all alleys have been eectuay closed by real estate captains of industry
 Not long ago there period of two three days that small dog team could not have gotten through the street.
 The plea to this indictment is, of course, necessity. They say they have the wood and there other place to store it. Yet it IS unquestionaby true that by storing wood in such quantities to block the street. they not only endangerng their property by hnderng the refghers but they also jeopardzng the property other residents in the same blocks.

POI IN HAWAII.
This Peculiar Food Is 20 the Native as
Bread is TO Us.


What bread is to the American or
European poi is to the native Ha-
waiian. No meal is complete with
out it, and for the great majority
of the natives it forms the princi-
pal article of diet. While they prob
ably could at the present time live
without this accustomed dish, the
time once was, before the advent Of
the whites 10 the islands and the in
troductioAof new foods, that life
without i1would at least have been
precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous
root of the taro plant, species Of
the caladium family, of which the
well known elephant ear plant is
also a member. The tuber, which
averages in size that Of large
sweet potato, is baked and after
ward pounded up with water until a
smooth white paste is obtained,
much resembling a wheat flour
paste, except that the color is
pale pink or purple, dependent
upon the variety of taro used. This
paste is allowed to slightly ferment,
or sour, when it is ready for use.
In olden times each family prepared
its own poi, the work being done by
the men, as in fact were most other
cooking operations. At the present
time poi factories in which machin-
cry grinds the taro and mixes it on
a large scale have largely supplant-
ed the old hand method. The Chi
nese Of the territory have come to
be the leading manufacturers of the
product.
Many OF the white residents OF
the islands eat poi to almost the ex-
tent as the natives, but the taste Is
largely acquired, and strangers sell
dom care for il. Poi has high
food value, and, since it formed the
principal article of diet of the old
Hawaiians, some persons have cred
tied it with the splendid physical
development of the race.
Poi was always eaten from wood
en- bowls, or calabashes, and wa:
conveyed to the mouth by the fin.
gers, one, two or three being EN-
ployed, according to the consistency
Of the food, which also establishe:
a designation of one, two or three
finger poi. White poi eaters nov
usually employ fork or spoon II
lieu Of fingers, although it is still
common even in the highest fami
lies to give native dinners, or luaus
at which knives and forks are ia
booed and fingers only used. Their
is as much etiquette among the Hs
waiians in eating with the fingers a
with modern table implements, ant
the graceful motion by which por

"Esercise and Rest.v

What Is the relation between exer-
else and rest2 Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not, whether we are tired or not.
1t used to be thought that the prime
requisite OF rest was the use of facul-
ties other than those involved In the
labor Of the day. But there is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become exhausted-too ex-
hausted for any kind of work. Per-
haps this is viii fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest from such fatigue deTaands
continuity; that, for example, four Pc
RODS of fifteen minutes each Of rest Is
not the equivalent of n hours rest;
that a ma who goes On a vacation
and takes half an hour of his business
work every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had a horse
with a sore back. He kept the saddle
on only a few minutes each day, but
the sore did not have a chance to heal.

SUIT AGAINST w

ISOLATED Breweries of New York and

clude seyenty-iye per cent. Of the
breweries of the city, is in restraint
of trade, August Klockmeyer last
week began suit In the United States

S21, e00 damages from the Bachman-
Bechtel Brewing Company.
Mr.. Klockemeyer says he was half
owner of a saloon at No. 201 Have
meyer street, Williamsburg, and that
he had an offer of $500 for his in
terest. The man seeking to purchase
insisted as a condition that he be
permitted to sell the beer of a GER
tain brewery. That brewery de-
clined to supply him because, it is
alleged, the Bachman-Bechtel Brew
cry Company, which was furnishing
beer to a saloon In the neighborhood
refused to consent.
The sale fell through and Mr..
Klockemeyer says he was forced to
sell out his interest for $500, a loss
of $1,000. He is suing to recover
three times the amount he lost.
