Gus prOgreS6, almost cyclon1c eacrlnce
Of old ideas to the new. Traditions.
customs. habits and creeds perish
overnight. Yet even from this social
chaos a few forces may emerge al
most primeval. viii love be such
force? Or shall the twentieth century
maiden yet taste the bitter truth OF
the cynic's claim that love-maklng
will soon be classed among the dead
arts?
Love! It has made humanity happy
and miserable since ever the world
was born. Kingdoms have been cut
In twain or lost for It, Heroes have
gained immortality in Its name, and
have passed into oblivion that they
might first. taste It's bitter-sweet fruits
Men have been hanged for 1t and
women have smilingly died for It,
Armies have been slaughtered that
king might hold the woman he loved
in his arms once more, and modern
fortunes have been wrecked for the
kiss Of a woman. Artists, novelists
and dramatists have won fame by pic
turing love as the world would have
1t.
And yet there are modern philoso-
piers, modern scientists. modern So
biologists who will tell you that love
is an evanescent thing for which the
higher intelligence demands a SUBJ
stantial, real. vital substitute.

those so-called creeds which may he
loosely grouped as new thought move

all enveloping intellectual love, which
knows no sex and does. not concern
itself at all with the future of the
human race.
Love-" writes Prof. w. ]. MCGEE,
the famous anthropologist, "is merely
a disorder Of the mind"

SLAP IN THE FACE
 FOR TAFT LEADERS

San Francisco, September 6.-An at tempt of John McNab of Mendocino county, leader of the republican reg ulars," to force the incorporation in the California republican platform of a stronger indorsement of the Taft ad- ministration than that framed by the committee on resolutions, caused a storm in the republican state conven- ton late tonight.
 The amendment was defeated on a point of order and the platform as originally presented was adopted with |tumultuous cheering.
 Without a single negative vote on any question that came before the state convention. the progressive wing of the republican party took over the organization management today in- dorsed the nominees chosen at the rec ent primaries and adopted a party platform.
 There was no echo of the bitterness of the late campaign.

VICTOR MURDOCH PREDICTS
 EARLY REVISION OF TARIFF

Washington, September 6.-(Speciai)- Victor Murdock, the militant insurgent representative from Kansas, passed through Washington today on his way to Chicago and he tarried just long enough to predict the ultimate triumph of the principles-of.s insurgency As be- ginning MT Murdock prophesied that the next United States Senate would be con- troIled by the progressives or the two rarties with the result that revision or the tariff, one schedule at time, would follow.
 "The next Senate will be dominated by the progressive element without regard for his party label" said the Kansan.

Iouchlng on the cotton consumption by southern mills, the report says: SpindIes In the South
 "The spindes in the south number H. ,359 including old, idle and new com plete. Three years ago consumption in the cotton states was ahead of the rest of the United States 220,000 bales, last year the excess was narrowed to 60,000 and this year it has again increased to 170,000 This refers to American cotton. The north used of foreign cotton this year the equivalent in this years American weights of 135,0O0 bales while the south used the equivalent of 15000. but event with these added, the south is ahead in both American and foreign cotton to the extent of 60,00O bales. In the south many mills were experimenting for the first time with small amounts of East Indian cotton, and while the aggregate was not large. all of "A institutions used various descriptions of foreign against only l2' last year"
 The consumption of American cotton by northern mills, Colonel Hester puts at north and south the aggregate consump- ton was 4.515,0O0 bales, while they used 10000 bales of foreign cotton making a total consumption of all kinds 4665, 900 bales against 5,210,0o0 last year.
 He puts the worlds consumption of American cotton l,U4,UD bales, de- crease under last year of 1,3S3, 900 and tln- der the year before of 23s.000 bales.

Twenty six mills are now building In the south ern states, with total of 360. 3S2 spin dies and the spindles in the active mills have been increased by 454.6s5 This. he says, Is not up to the phenomenal show ing recorded year by year before the panic, but is still an indication of hand- some progress by the south in the direc- ton of manufacturing her own cotton.
 Of the total of S3S mills, 775 have been in operation. including one exclusively on foreign cotton; 37 were idle and 26 in course of construction. The season's cons sumption was divided as follows:

BURROWS BEATEN
 FOR THE SENATE

Detroit, September 6.-United States Senator Julils c. Burrows of Kalamazoo was today defeated in the primaries for renomination by Charles B. Townsend of Jackson.
 Todays primary election in Michigan, according to midnight returns, also gave the republican nomination for governor to Charles D. S. Osborne of Sault Ste. Marie, former state railroad commission CT and present regent of the university.
 The fight for the republican nomination for lieutenant governor is too close to justify an announcement.
 In the congressional districts where there were contests, Congressman G. J. Diekma was renominated in the Fifth district Congressman Fordney in the Eighth, and Congressman Young in the Twelfth district.
 Congressman Washington Gardner was defeated in the Third In the Seventh Representative Henry McCorren of Port Huron appears to have been renominated. In the Second w. W. Wedemeyer is probably nominated to succeed Represen- tetive Townsend, who was indorsed for the Senate.

possible the decision of the members, who have spent months In considering the evil dence taken during the extended hear ing in Washington. The republican mem bers of the committee who are now here to formulate their report are Senator Nell son of Minnesota, the chairman; Senator George Southerland of Utah and Repre- sentative Samuel Mccall of Massa- chusetts.
 Senator Frank J. Flint previously had informed the committee that he would not attend the sessions here, and Senator Root of New York, who has been abroad will, it is said, be unable to reach the city in time for the deliberations. An urgent call has been sent to Repre- sentative Denby of Michigan to be here as soon as possible. and Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania. who had an- nounced that he will not be present at the meeting, also has been asked to at tend. Representative Denby of Michigan was detained by the holding of the pri- maries in his state today and It IS nol possible for him to reach the city until Thursday
 It is apparent to the republicans that the democrats, aided by Representative Madison, could force through the con templated resolution. The latter fear the republican members may be scarce to-
 
 and an effort may be made to postpone the session until Thursday, by which time Representative Denby and Olmstee could be present. Should they arrive Thursday and the meeting called for to- morrow be postponed until that time, the republicans then would have five mem bers on the ground and the democrats Hike number. Were a vote then taken on the proposed resolution it is likely | tie would result.
 | The democrats have given the repuo' licans no inkling of their purpose to have a. resolution adopted and will make every effort to secure a quorum for tomorrow meeting Inasmuch as the minority mem bers and Representative Madison have agreed as to the character of the findings they will sign, they feel that they shoult
 be known at once. The democrats sa! the republicans have had sufficient time to consider the evidence and they can set no reason to delay formulating and giy' : ing out the report.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-09-07

Minnea polis September 6.-Democratic members of the BallingerP Pinchot investi- gation committee, which will meet tomor- row. have practically agreed on their re- port in the notable controversy, and at tomorrow's session will make an effort to secure authority to give out immediate ly the findings of the whole committee. While the exact nature of the majority report to be made by the republicans Is t known, it is reported the decision has 6een reached to vindicate Secretary Bal finger
 Contrary reports were also in circula- ton. It was said, but without apparent authority, that the republican members who formerly had been reported to be strongly In favor of vindicating the Sec retary were inclined to modify views pre- viously held in this respect, but to what extent was not determined.
 The minority report, which will be signed by Senator E. W. Purcell of North Dakota, Senator D. U. Fletcher of Flori- Ga, Representative James of Kentucky and Representative James R. Graham of Illinois, will, it is said. approve of the course of Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester, James Garfield, former Secretary of the Interior, and Louis R. Glavis, the chief of field division of the general land office.
 The details of the minority findings were not disclosed but there Is no doubt that the report will condemn the actions of the Secretary and his part in the dis pute.
 Representative Edward H. Madison of Kansas, a republican insurgent, will sup rort the democratic members in the fight to make public at once the findings. That the latter will succeed there Is but little doubt unless the republicans decide to break the quorum.
 Incidentally, MT. Madison has had pre- pared a separate minority report. The nature of the independent finding of the Kansas member could not be learned, but 1t can be authoritatively stated 1t will uphold MT. Pinchot.
 The democrats plan to introduce at to- morrow's session plan authorizing the committee to make known as soon al

needs.
 With the progressive representatives in control of both houses tariff revision, schedule by schedule, will be possible. It will be more than possible. It will become fact.
 Tt is funny to see the way in which the former standpatters are adopting the creed of the insurgents. From one end of the country to another they are chang ing front. l can count you 50 changes in the personal of the next Hose, and ev- cry change will be in favor of the pro gressive wing of one party or the other.
 National interest in national affairs was never so deep-seated nor so apparent as 1t Is today. This is the most over whelming political upheaval that the country has seen in half century. The public mind is awakened, the public con science is stirred. and the public vote Is going to be cast in favor of some thing different, something better and more wholesome than party emblem or party tradition.
