When the hearing before the Senate

| framed in 1908.
The republican platform said: 1--WE
commend the efforts made to obtain
greater efficiency in national public health
| agencies and favor such legislation as
will effect its purpose
Here is what the democratic platform
| said: We advocate the organization of
all existing national public health agen-
cies into national bureau of public
health, with such power over sanitary
conditions connected with factories,
mines, tenements, child labor and such
other conditions, connected within the

CRUISES OF HOME FLEETS
FIGHTING VESSELS TO VISIT
FOREIGN WATERS ANNUALLY.
Change in Policy Announced by the
Navy Department-Tnp
Next Fall.

The Navy Department has announced a
change in the policy regarding cruises
of the home fleets. Hereafter It Is the
intention that the fighting vessels Of the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets shall make a
foreign cruise every year.
Carrying out that policy, the battle
ships comprising the Atlantic fleet will
start on a cruise next fall to the Medi-
terranean. While the itinerary has not been
worked out, visits will be paid to several
Of the principal ports Of southern Europe.
AS this will be the first foreign cruise
for many of the younger. men in the
service the cruise will be Of unusual
interest.
Goes to South America.
The Pacific fleet will cruise to South
American ports late in the summer to
take part in celebrations to be held in
honor of the Tooth anniversary OF Chile
independence.
Through the necessary installation Of
turret gear on the vessels of the Allan
tic battieship fleet while the ships are
at their home yards this summer, the
fleets summer maneuvers will have to
be abandoned in whole or part. It was
originally planned that the vessels should
leave their respective yards June z for
maneuvers in Cape Cod bay. With the
installation Of the turret gear, some OF
which were authorized two years ago
and the balance last year, it Is found
that the entire feet will not be able
% assemble until the middle Of July or
later.
Elementary target practice is now In
progress off the Virginia capes. Just
what changes will be made will depend
upon the results OF the shooting, as 1t
is for the purpose Of improving the gum
merry efficiency for the rough weather
battle practice which is to be held in
August

PIANOS ARE TO BE CHEAPER
Over Production Is the Cause, Says
Travelling Salesman.

Travelling Salesman.
+. Crosbe, a salesman for the SchiI.
Ter Piano company, of Chicago, who is
in Columbia today, says there will be
slump in the price and sale of pianos
in the next year. He attributes this
slump to over production.
There are 233 piano manufacturers
in the United States" said Mr.. Crosbe,
land they manufactured last year more
than 100000 pianos. Almost every
retailer has his place overstocked
with them and, of course, will not buy
more. This is bound to hurt the piano
business. Another reason why pianos
will be cheaper is the fact that there
is great deal of competition. Tie
statesmen can just make living and
many of them are out of jobs as a
result of this over production

Judge Lawson Likens American Law
Practice to Football Game,

Judge Lawson Likens American Law
Practise to Football Game. = = !:
Procedure in criminal cases in Enk,
land excells that in the United States
chiefly in these four respects: celer.
ity in obtaining the jury; judicious at-
titude Oh the councillors, vigorous
domination of the judge, and tho rapid.
ity OF proce edings. This was the sub
stance O, Dean John D. Lawson's ad.
dress before the Scientific association
last night. ~-.
The jury" said Dean Lawson
even in the most important cases;
is chosen in five minutes or less
Challenging juryman is practice
almost unknown in England. In one
of the high courts of London only
one juryman has been challenged in
the last three years.. The English
jury asks more questions and renders
more prompt verdicts than the Ameri-
can jury; in fact it very. seldom re-
tires even In important cases."
The attitude of the English law.
yer or barrister to his client is Pc
| ouliar when compared to the attitude
OF the American lawyer. In England
the aim of the prosecuting counsellor
is not to convict the defendant, nor
is it the aim of the defense to acquit
him. but it is rather the aim of both to-
get to the bottom and the truth of
the controversy and to give justice
in every respect. Thus often, if the /.
prosecution fails to note a point fa-
vorable to its side. the defense will
call the. formers attention to the
same and vice versa"
"The English Judge" said Dean
Lawson, dominates the trial more
than does the American Judge He
takes greater interest in the case.
This is illustrated by the fact that he
takes his own notes on the evidence
IN preference to those of the clerk"
THE rapidity of procedure in the
English courts" declared Dean Law
son, lis due to their lack of the tech:
nicalities so numerous and important
in American courts 1t is also made
possible by the fact that the discus
sion and attempted proof of self-evi-
dent truths, such as Is London in
England is not permitted in English
courts
Finally, Dean Lawson likened Amer
lean criminal procedure to a game of
football in which the attorneys were
the players, the Judge was the referee.
and the laws were the rules Of the
game. Thus if an attorney was igno-
rant OF a certain rule or failed to con-
form to another. he was penalized and
his client suffered.

Professor Ankeney thinks the seen

even more picturesque than that of
the upper Niangua river in Camden
county.
The Hahatonka Spring and lake are
included in the estate of R. NJ. Sny-
der, of Kansas City, who was killed
several years ago in an automobile
accident. He is said to have expended
about $250.000 in the Improvement of
his Ozark home. A large stone res
idence, a five-storied watertower and
goood walks were built by Mr.. Snyder.

Of PORK FALLS
Beef Products Remain High
With Little Chance of
Getting Lower.

If you wish to get the benefit of
the drop in meat prices in Columbia,
you will have to buy pork. This is
from two to five cents cheaper now
than it has been, say the Columbia
meat men. However, beef is as high
as ever, with little chance of it's get
ting lower. All pork products have
gone down from one to five cents on
the pound. Lard is being quoted two
cents lower than it has been for some
time
G. F. Rogers who owns a meat mar
ket on South Eighth street says one
reason why beef continues high is that
the farmers sell to the wholesale deal
ers in the cities instead of selling here.
This would save the cost of shipment,
he says.
