THE EXTRA SESSION
HAS BEEN STRENUOUS ONE ALL
THE WAY THROUGH.
ADJOURNMENT IS At HAND
Memorable Struggle Over Issues Of
Which Reciprocity Was the
Notable Result.

Washington.-Congress. will ad
journ before Tuesday night, possibly
Monday, and the most strenuous ses
sion of recent years will pass into
political history. The net results OF
the extra session, in comparison with
the ambitious program adopted at the
outset were not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brough,
as near reality as the executive and
legislative departments could ad
vance it; statehood was assured for
New Mexico and Arizona; campaign
publicity legislation was enacted in a
form satisfactory to its most earnest
advocates; provision was made for
an enlarged house of representatives,
tased on the latest census, and a few
other measures of minor importance
were passed.
A democratic house, the first since
1895, seized on this session as a We
hicle to convey to the country the
views OF democrats on tariff revision.
but executive disapproval rendered
futile all efforts to impress those
views on the statute books.
Two tariff bills. one materially re-
ducing the existing duties on wool
and wooden goods of all classes and
the other placing on the free list ar
ticles of machinery and tools used by
farmers and amended to include
many other items. were vetoed by
President Taft. He based his disap-
prevail on the grounds that the bills
had not been scientifically" prepared
and that tariff revision should wait
until reports on the different sche-
dulles had been made by the tariff
board. A cotton revision bill awaits
a similar fate.
The house, under the leadership Of
Representative Underwood of Ala.
bama. chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Speaker Clark.
endeavored to pass the wooden and
free list bills over the veto, but the
necessary two-thirds vote could not
be mustered. These failures to over
throw President Taft's veto were a
strong factor in determining leaders
to close the session. and it is not like
ly that congress will be in session to
receive a veto to the cotton measure.
Trust investigations without mum.
Der were instituted during the ses-
sion, and some of them, notably those
bearing on monopolies in steel and
sugar, were prosecuted with vigor
They still are in progress.
Constructive legislation to bear on
federal regulation of corporations is
regarded as certain to come from
these inquiries. Plans already have
been instituted to revise the anti
rust laws.
General arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France were sent
to the senate by President Taft, but

Character in the Eye.

Beware OF the man who does not
look you clearly in the eye. He has
possibilities of evil in his nature.
There are eyes which are luminous.

Men and women of the world are
accustomed to Judge human nature by
the expression of the eye. Many peo-

can thus distinguish the false from

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,

boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the afliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch 30 al to be almost un-
bearable At times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time. so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
