Washington, d. c.. May 23.-seuator
Nelson Of Minnesota attacked PresI-
dnet Taft today before the senate IL
nance committee for seeking to pre-
vent the senate from amending the
Canadian reciprocity bill. He declared
that the constitution made the senate
a part of the treaty, making power Of
the country and offered several amend
ments to the measure.
Senator Nelson's amendments would
reduce about one-nah of the existing
tariff rates on most Of farm products.
TO put farm products on the free list
he declared was legislating directly
against the farmers. He declared that
President Taft is evading the con-
struction Of the United States when
he tried to force the senate to accept
this agreement as 1t was presented.
Senator Nelson urged the committee
to consider fully, his proposed amend
ments. He said the senate had amend
ed previous treaties and that there was.

the Canadian agreement
While the prolonged debate ON tho
resolution admitting to statehood Arr
iona and New Mexico. was stiIl In
order today in the house Of representa-
tives, the chief interest In legislative
affairs shifted to the senate, where the

ton.
Senator LaFollette had previously
given notice that he would call up his
privileged resolution providing for q
demonstration OF the right Of the
Junior senator from Illinois to retain
his seat and would take the floor TO
advocate it's adoption.
The resolution would name a special
committee Of which Senator Works OF
California would be be chairman, to
conduct the inquiry. Senator LaFol-
lette desired its adoption without ref
erence to the committee. Other sena,-
tors want the resolution referred to
the committee on privileges and elec-
tons

ernor Of North Dakota, who headed the
North Dakota delegation that went to
Washington to protest against the
proposed bill now pending in the Unit
ed States senate indorsing the Cana
dian reciprocity treaty, returned home
yesterday afternoon from the east. Mr..
Lewis was seen this noon and gave
some Of the particulars OF his trip

tensively in the newspapers all over

4 Mr.. Lewis was seen at the First
National bank where he was greeted
by large number Of his friends in
the city. He spoke very highly Of the
cordiality with which the North Da-
kota delegation had been received by
members OF the finance committee of
the senate.
: eth North Dakota reciprocity
delegation" he said, was treated very
nicely by all the members OF the sem
ate finance committee, Of which Sena-
tor Penrose of Pennsylvania is chair
man, and by all the members OF the
senate and house with whom we came
in contact.

tions with considerable force. / do

members Of the senate recognise the
unfairness OF the measure and am sat

cording to personal conviction, the
measure would be defeated by q good
majority. But there will doubtless be
many who will support it for politi-
cal reasons on the part OF the demo-

they will have to stand by the admin

A Bad Cigarette Habit.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Opinions may differ as to the habit Of
smoking cigarettes, but there ought not
10 be two opinions concerning the habit
OF Ticking halfsmoked and burning Gig
arettes, which is a characteristic accom-
paniment of the smoking. The Bangor
fire is the latest to be charged to the
cigarette. in this case said to have been
thrown from table of card players &C.
cupying room in storage barn. Had
the stubs been dropped in proper spit
toon. there would have been no danger.
and had they been dropped at the feet of
the smoker. there would have been less
danger. with the probability that the
burning butt would have been crushed
under foot. But iicked away into a cor
ner. they smoldered until the fire was
started There is something of mys-
terry that merits psychological analysis
In the inclination of the cigarette smoker
to snap the burning remnant of his
"smoke" into the air. whether it Is to
observe its pyrotechnc yIrve. or to re-
heve nervous tension in the fingers. A
cigar butt is less easily manipulated and,
therefore. more likely TO be dropped near
at hand and it's landing place noticed al
though perhaps unconsciously. The Gig
arctic in itself Is that which adds the
extra or SPECIAL element OF danger.

American Rainfall.
ON the Philadelphia Record


A vivid picture of the amount of rain
that falls upon the United States in the
course Of year Is given by President
c. r. Van Hise. 1t Is equivalent to ten
Mississippi rivers flowing constantly.
Otherwise measured. 1t equals thirty
inches Of water for the entire area, MAX
ing a total volume OF 132.OO0.0OO, 600, 600
cubic feet. But this is only half the
amount that would be necessary to main
tain the full productivity of the soil Of
the whole country. One-third OF this
amount runs down to the sea In rivers.
The problem for engineers is to utilize to
the utmost the supply that nature FUR
nishes. ..-.-AA-A
