SMALL LIKELIHOOD OF
ADJOURNMENT MONDAY
Special Rule Invoked in Order
to Railroad Cotton Bill
to President

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 21.-For
the first time this session, the Demo-
cratic majority today invoked a special
rule to enable 1t TO control the house
of representatives. The move was made
necessary by insurgent Republicans
who objected to the Democratic plans
for expediting the passage Of the cotton
bill with senate amendments. The in
surgents demanded a division Of the
several questions embraced in the bill,
and the Democrats wound not agree to
this. making it necessary for the rules
committee to outline the plan Of proce-
dure. This was done with facility, the
committee being in session only a few
minutes.
Under the rule adopted by the house
the cotton bill with senate amendments
viii be debated for four hours, at the
conclusion OF which the amendments
will be voted on as a whole. they Will
be adopted, following which the bill
itself will be passed and sent 10 Pres
ident Taft for his veto.
There is small likelihood Of adjourn
ment today. according to Leader Under
wood. He is certain. however, that con-
gress will make its getaway tomorrow
afternoon. Adjournment might be ia
ken today except for the fact that Pres
ident Taft's veto of the cotton bill could
not possibly be returned to the house in
this limit OF time.

THREATENING MILK FAMINE IS
AVERTED BY BOVINE'S KICK

DALTON, Ga. Aug. 19.-Just like
the cackiing OF geese saved Rome. so
the kifE Of a COW saved the milk sup
ply Of the residents OF Thornton ave-
nue. and branch streets here Friday.
The COW was not kicking at flies. but
the target was much larger and her
well-aimed defense enabled her to rid
herself OF veritable leech, which had
fastened on her and was draining her
of milk. ~
Several days ago. the mflkings OF
various fne mich cows began 10 fail.
This distressing condition was not
confined TO any one section OF the
street. but was general, and the mat

hood. At first IL was believed to be
some unknown disease prevalent
among the COW tribe; but this theory
was abandoned when the cows con-
tinued to devour their feed with an UNI
mistakable relish. Instead Of get

President Plans to Put Demo-
Gratis ''I1 a Hole" by Asking
for General Revision at
December Session -
HE WILL HAVE REPORT
OF THE TARIFF BOARD
Taft Is Now s.In Bad" With the
People Because of vetoes,
but Plan Is to Turn the Tide
of Sentiment

WASHINGTON D. C.. Aug. 2l.-Pres-
ident Taft plans to rehabilitate himself
in the popular esteem and incidentally
put the Democrats in. hole" by de-
manding a general revision Of the tar
III at the regular session Of congress
that convenes In December.
There are many Republicans and some
Democrats who believe that the presi-
dent really occupies position of van
tage as a result of the doings of the
extra session. despite the popular I'M
preston that he has weakened himself
through his veto of the wool and free
list bills. Mr.. TAFT himself is, said to
believe that he holds the trump card,
and will play it at the beginning OF
the next session Of congress.
The tariff board will be ready with
it's report next December, and Mr.. Taft
will be fortified with all of the infor-
nation 1t has gathered concerning the
several schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
bill. This information, It is conceded
will develop many inequalities in the
present law and will afford the presf-
dent an excuse for recommending a gem
eral revision Of the tariff. The data
gathered by the board will enable him
to make detailed recomm endations to
congress concerning what he believes the
duties should be.
Wool, steel, iron. sugar, cotton and
farm implements are said to be a few
of the several tariff schedules the pres
ident will urge the Democrats to re-
wise along lines to be suggested by him
in his messages, which viii be sup
ported by his detailed data gathered by
the tariff board.
WOULD BE BAD MOVE.
1t is claimed that the Democrats will
stultify themselves IL they accept the
presidents specific recommendations on
these matters. having already outlined
to the country their ideas of revision.
On the other hand; it is claimed they
cannot we'll afford to ignore the tariff
at the regular session, yet IL they I'M
dertake genersl revision they will oc-
cupy the entire time Of the session. Thus
it would be impossible for them to fol-
low out their general Legislative pro-
gram, which contemplates much legisla-
tion along other lines in conformity with
Democratic platforms.
1T is undoubtedly true that at pres
emit, President Taft is Fin bad" with
the mass of the people for his vetoes Of
wool, cotton, steel. iron and the free
list. But he has taken high grounds in
his veto messages, relying on infor-
nation to be furnished by the tarift
board for scientific revision Of these
schedules. When he gets this informa-
ton and begins to lombard congress
with messages demanding revision of
these schedules IL is believed much. if
not all OF the criticism will be dissipat-
ed. af\
The best of 1t all. according to the Re-
publicans. is that this change Of senti-
ment will come just a few months pre-
vious to the presidential election, at a
time too late for the Democrats to dis
count It successfully.
