New York, Feb ll.-Senator Reed
Smoot OF Utah. republican defended
the Payne Aldrich tariff law tonight at
the banquet of the silk association.
The tariff bill passed AT the last
session of congress- said Senator
Smoot "is the best tariff measure ev-
er enacted into law"
In America we live in better hous-
es,' he continued, I'VE sleep in better
beds; we eat more and better food, we
wear warmer and better clothing: our
children attend better schools; we en-
joy more Of the comforts of life than
amy other people IN any other coun-
try on the globe.
Fl take II we are all alike inter-
estel in the general prosperity of our
nation. We are alike. dcsirous of so
safeguarding our Industries as to in
sure our prosperity We have such
safeguard and We cali It protec-
tion.
u deny that the tariff act of 1909 is
the cause of the advance in the cost
OF living. The greatest advances have
been upon articles on the free list or
upon which duties We're decreased or
upon which no advance was made
over the Dingley rate. II is also no.
liceable that the extreme advances are
upon products of the farm. yet the ad-
vance received by the farmer Is in
significant in comparison with the in
crease paid by the consumer"
Investigation, said senator Smoot,
has shown i'm some instances that
there is an increase OF from 200 TO
S0O per cent in the price naid hv the

Wanted His Money Back.

It is an old saying that you cannot eat your cake and have it too" But a seasick person usually cares little for either side of the proposition. The captain of one of the steamships ply ing between this country and Italy, which arrived at New York with over GOO immigrants, tells a rather aAnus- ing story of a heated interview held between himself and one of them on the voyage across.
 The vessel had been out few days and had encountered some heavy seas. The first morning that calmer weather prevailed one of the steerage passen- gers appeared for the first time above deck and with a face as white as a sheet approached the captain.
 "This has got to stop!' he said an- grily.
 "What hasY' asked the captain, in surprise.
 ''This feeling of death. When l bought my ticket I was told it in cluded meals, but can't keep my food down. Now, it has got to stop, cap- tain, or else want my passage money back. You cannot break your contract ] in this fashion with me-"

No Chance For the Truth.

 Always" answered the teacher. "Neyer tell a ie?

 "Not even a white lie."
 "Huh," calculated the lad scorn- fully, tits a mighty good thing for you you ain't boy with my dad fol a father"
 "Why?" asked the teacher.
 Because" replied the boy, If you was my dads little boy, and you'd heard what he said about Aunt Eliza comin to visit us with her children, and Aunt Eliza had asked you if you weren't all glad to see her, and you'd told the truth, like I did, you'd think there was place where your trousers was mighty thin after dad had fin ished with you"
 He went back to his desk, and as he sat down with great care there was an expression on his face that showed the great lesson of truth had been, at least in a measure, lost on him.-London Tit-Bits.
