Ships' Ewes,

In the olden days, when the science
Of navigation was not as well under
stood as now, it was the custom to
carve in the bows of ships pair of
large eyes, with the notion that they
would watch the dangers of the deep
and avoid catastrophes. Faith in such
an idea has long been dead, but the
eyes are still to be seen on ships.
Through them pass the anchor chains
when the ship is safe in port, and thus,
though useless in the days of the old
fancy, they fill good purpose now,

Keep BeeS Strong

Leaving plenty of honey in the fall,

keeping colonies strong throughout

PairInr tI1e Vote.

The Democratic United States SEN
ators from West Virginia seem to
be playing a sort of you tickle me
and I'll tickle you" game over In
washington. They seem to be pair
ing themselves on when 1t comes
to voting on important measures
thus virtually multiplying what rep
resentation this state has in Con
gress.
Senator Watson made a grand
stand display a day or two ago by
voting in favor OF an amendment
to the so-calIed farmers free liSt
bill that would place coal on the
free list. This was apparently a
great stroke OF Democratic states
manshdp, but before the applause OF
paid press agents subsidized, it was
discovered that Senator Chiffon had
voted against the amendment, thus
making it saw-of-
Ut is stated that Mr.. Chiffon
voted against the amendment be
cause of a decision OF the Demo
cratic caucus that the Democrats
would support the original bill
without amendment Senator Chill
ton seems to be an adept at voting
against something that he pretends
to favor and hiding behind the ex-
cuse that some rule or other, pre-
scribed by a caucus or by himself
makes his course necessary.
The amendment was lost, as were
several others, in accordance with a
program made up for political pur-
poses hence it is apparent that the
West Virginia senator's knew whaS
was coming about. The original
House bill was voted down by tie
vote, which could have been
changed by one more Democratic
vote, and a substitute bill, offered
by Senator Kern, of Indiana, was
rushed through by a vote OF forty
eight to thirty.
Originally the bill provided that
meat products, -four and cereal
products from all countries should
be admitted free of tariff duty into
the United States. The Kern
amendment provides that the free
admission shall apply only to meats.
-four and cereal products coming
from any foreign country with
which the United States has reeiP-
rocal trade agreement, and which
shall admit from the United States
free of duty cotton, corn wheat,
oats, horses, cattle and hogs"
Coal, however, was not included in
the free" list as finally passed.

Mr. Ballinger rendered his resigna-

on the condition of his health. The
president replied at once, expressing
his confidence in Secretary Ballinger,
his reluctance to accept his resigna-
ton, and requested the secretary to
remain in Office until the close of the
session of congress. Immediately on
the adjournment of congress Secre.
tary Ballinger renewed his request.

Immediately by the president Mr.
Fisher will take Office Immediately.
II have had the fullest opportuni'

accepting the resignation, ito know
you, to know your standards of serv,
ice to the government and the public
to know your motives, to know how
you have administered your Office and
to know the motives of those who
have assailed you"
And in the conclusion of his letter
the president declares that every
fiber of my nature rebels against such
hypocrisy" (referring to the attacks
on Ballinger's character) "and nerves
me to fight such g. combination and
such methods to the bitter end, lest
success in this instance may form a
demoralizing precedent But person
al consideration for you and yours
makes me feel that I have no right
to ask for further sacrifice"
The president goes on to declare II
evident that he has been himself the
ultimate object of the attack, and says
that to insist on Mr. Ballinger's re
naming In office with the prospects
of further efforts against you, is
selfishly to impose ON you more of q
