DEMOCRATS AlD
Il : TAFT IN PACT
Senators Promise to Defeat
All Amendments.
SESSION 10 Be LONG
Vote on Canadian Reciprocity viii
x,t Be Taken Earlier Than July 10.
stone Predicts Continuous Session.

Washington, June = Abandoning
hope OF defeating in committee the
Root amendment to the Canadian reel
procity bill, affecting the prlnt paper
and wood pulp clause OF the agree
ment, friends OF the measure began
on the floor of the senate an active
campaign to prevent the acceptance OF
the Root provision.
The president showed anxiety over
the situation when, after an executive
session Of the senate finance commit
tee, he appealed to the Democratic
senators to stand out against the
amendment Senator Stone expressed
to the president his confidence that
far more than a majority would be
found voting against the Root and all
other amendments that may be Of
fered.
The administration throughout has
contended that amendment to the Dill
probably would be fatal, and by rea-
son of this contention the measure was
passed by the house in the form de
sired by the state department. The
same argument was advanced when
the measure was turned over to the
senate finance committee, and Chair
man Penrose, of the committee, has
endeavored to prevent consideration
of amendments.
The principal fight on the floor will
be based on the Root provision, but
whether it be accepted or rejected
the friends of reciprocity are now
hopeful of success. The reason for
their exhilaration is found in the de
cision of a majority of the Democratic
senators to make no effort to attach
the house free list bill to the reciproc
ity measure.
A decided majority of the Demo
Gratis are favorable to reciprocity, but
until comparatively recently many OF
them, disposed toward political ad
vantage, made the condition that the
Canadian bill should receive no con
sideration except in connection with
the pet Democratic measure.
They have abandoned that attitude
and now announce boldly that they
will oppose all amendments OF what
ever nature. They have even gone tt
the extent of rejecting overtures from
the progressives, which are coupled
with a promise on the part of the lat
ter to tack the free list on to the
reciprocity bill. No one predicts
vote earlier than July Is, and some ex
topd tho time nv a month
"And with reciprocity disposed of,
declared Senator Stone, Il should sa!
that we ought to stay here until VIZ
merge this session into the next regu
lar session, and that session into thu
second regular, if we don't get vote
on the free list"
Senator Penrose will make an efor
committee on finance today, but as
many amendments will be presented
he may fail The bill will be reported
without recommendation.

Remarkable Tribute Paid to Church.
man on Fifteth Anniversary of His
Priesthood and Twenty-fifth as Car
dinaI.
Baltimore, June 7.-Gathered from
the tour ends OF the land, distinguish,
ed men OF all creeds assembled at the
Fifth Regiment armory TO participate
in the most notable and remarkable
tribute ever paid to churchman in
America.
With one mind and with one pur'
pose this concourse OF people VINO
filled the great building came to do
honor to James Cardinal Gibbons IN
commenoration OF a life of good
works, which was crowned by the ad-
vent CT his fftieth anniversary as
priest and the twenty-fifth annlver-
sary of his elevation to the car
dinalate.
The chief executive of the nation
himself came to laud the deeds OF the
venerable and universally loved pre-
late. With him we're the vice presl-
dent of the United States, representa-
tives of every branch Of the national
government, justices of the supreme
court and members Of the diplomatic
corps.
The governor of the state presided
over the assemblage. The most proml-
nent representatives OF every creed,
priests, pastors, rectOrs, elders, rabbls
and other children OF churches of all
denominations swelled the throng and
Joined their voices in praise OF the
exemplary life Of their co-worker for
the good of mankind. Such sponta-
neous demonstration was never be-
fore seen on this hemisphere. Prob
ably the world never witnessed more
generous outburst of enthusiasm for
one with whose theological principles
many of the participants are at varl-
ance.
Telegrams and special delivery let
tiers from governors of states in the
United States and from every men,
Der of the senate and house of repre-
sentatives who could not attend the
demonstration were received by the
cardinal, while from foreign diplo-
mats, archbshops and bishops from
all over the world came messages OF
congratulation. 1t was a great day in
many ways. II brought together for
the first time in many moons Presl-
dent Taft and former President Roose-
welt, and the meeting was so cordial
that even the stald congressman and
senators, who had not been altogether
certain Of the relations OF the two
| men, were surprised.
OF the speeches made, those of the
president and Colonel Roosevelt, next
| to that OF the cardinal. commanded
| the greatest attention, and both dealt
with religious liberty and liberation
| The TO. mar president male decided
| hit and was cheered again and again
| when in the course of his address he
said the U1De would come. when Inere
would be Catholic presidents as well
as Protcstants and Jews would be
presidents as we'll as Gentiles.
1t was q really iovial even, in which
American good nature found its best
and broadcast expression. For three
hours over $4,000 men, women and
children stood, for there we've no seats
on the main floor OF the armory, lis
tening to the speeches AMI applauded,
and not one complaint was heard.

ConcernIng National PolitIcs

While Governor Harmon seems te have the lead in the west for the next democratic nomination for the presi- dency, Woodrow Wilson is favorably discussed" said C. R. Berrian of Chi cago
 "As I was on a western trip re- gently l heard many democrats say that if 1t looked reasonably bright next spring for Harmon to carry New York as well as Ohio he would be nominated by exclamation. A wonderfully strong ticket would be harmon and Wilson. but Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives is being favorably spoken of for second place. MT. Under wod has long been known as high type of democrat by those who give close attention to Congress-; but only now as the leader of the new House on the floor has he been in the na- tional spotlight. He will continue to grow in fame and popularity and if his tariff work makes anythin like a hit with the masses he will be formidable candidate for the presidency in 1916.
 "A few years ago no southerner was seriously considered for the national ticket, but now that north and south are firmly reunited no able southern man will be barred because of section al feeling"

THE sAUNTrRrR

By Robert Louis Stevenson. Give to me the life I love,
 Let the lave go by me, Give me jolly heaven above
 And the byway nigh me. Bed in the bush with stars to see,
 Bread I dip in the river 4 There's the life for man like me There's the life forever. S@ Let the blow fall soon or late,
 Let what will be OCT me; Give the face of earth around
 And the road before me. Wealth seek not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me; Al! I seek, the heaven above
 And the roal below me. Or let autumn fall on mo
 Where afield I finger, eilencing the bird on tree.
 Biting the blue finger, White as meal the frosty field
 Warm the firesids haven Not to autumn will yield,
 Not to winter even! Let the blow fall soon or late.
 Let what will be OCT me; Give the face of earth around.
 And the road before me. Wealth I ask not. hope nor love.
 Nor . friend to know mo: All ask, the heaven above
 And the road below mo.

May Music Festival

Birmingham is to have a splendid music festival in May. Many delight ful festivals have been given here, but this one this year promises to surpass all the others.
 In Benjamin Guckenberger's day, and even before, Birmingham could boast of large and well trained fes- tival chorus, and the chorus was the nucleus around which the spring fes- tival was built up. Four annual festi- vals were held under Mir. Gucken- berger's direction. In the first two a Boston orchestra of moderate size, and comparatively inexpensive, was engaged, and in the other two Theo- dore Thomas, with his superb orches- tra of so musicians, supplied the in strumental music. There was quite a deficit as a result of the last of the Guckenberger-Thomas events.
 But that was nine years ago. We had a magnificent festival last year under Walter Damrosch's direction, and there was no deficit. Birming- ham is much larger than it was when MT. Guckenberger was here as mu- sical leader. It is considerably larger than it was even year ago. It is reasonable to think, therefore, that this years festival will be bigger success financially than any previous ly held.
 Victor Herbert, with his orchestra, will form a conspicuous feature of the festival in May. Several fine vocal Artists will appear on each pro- gramme, and in addition to those that have been already announced one or more worldwide celebrities will be engaged and presented to the public for good measure. The festival is to be held during the National Good Roads convention week, when visitors will throng the city. Everybody has heard of Victor Herbert, and every body can whistle or hum some of the music which he has composed; and everybody will want to see him and hear his orchestra. The festival ex- ecutive committee not only made sure of box office success when they decided upon the fourth week in May good roads convention week-but in doing so form of entertainment is offered that will be appreciated by many strangers who come to the con- vention.

Anti-Japanese War Talk.

There are three facts that should put an end to the current anti-Jap- anese nonsense that bobs up on oc- casion in this country. In the first place Japan is not a rich country. Her great war with Russia severely taxed her resources and at the end of 1t she was burdened with a heavy debt. She needs peace for genera tion in order to pay off debt, gather riches and become forehanded in gen. oral.
 And even if she had all needful re- sources she would not attempt to send an army in transports across sea 5000 miles wide to assail country containing twice the population and ten times the resources. The idea is simply preposterous, for transports

l From the Womans Home Companion for April.
 If there is disease more than any
 other that is caused by improper diet, and that can be helped most often by a
 diet properly adjusted to the capacity of the patient, it is rheumatism, in almost every one of its forms.
 There Is a popular belief that meat, especially red meat, is the only arch fiend that carries into the system uric acid and the other members of the purin
 group, but it is not correct. Tea, coffee,
 chocolate, cocoa, peas, beans, asparagus,
 onions and few other foods all contain the purin bodies to some extent. Animal soups and malt liquors are also guilty. All alcoholic liquors are objectionable, some, of course, more than others. By
 many the white meat of chicken or other fowl Is considered much less pernicious than red meat, such as beef mutton, lamb, etc; by others, this is contradicted
 Excellent authorities. however, state that whatever may be true theoretically, the so-called red meats seem most objection able practically.
 Increasing the easily digested animal foods. allowing milk, eggs, small amount of cheese, broiled or roasted meats, beef, lamb and chicken in small quantities once a day often brings a happy result. Combine with these far inaceous foods. such as rice, farina, tap ioca, wheat-bread. etc, and suitable veg etables and fruits. Such procedure may give just the relief the overworked ma chine is craving.
 During acute attacks of rheumatism the diet should consist of milk, butter
 milk, milk toast, gruels. etc. This should continue so long as there is any fever. All meats and other objectionable articles mentioned above should be excluded
 until recovery is assured.
 Alkaline waters such as vichy, Sara toga Springs. French Lick Springs and other similar waters are valuable, and excellent results follow the use of gen. | erous quantities Cat least three pints
 daily) of any pure, soft water, taken be- tween meals.

Closing Day of the Civil War.

If one were asked when and where the greatest civil war of all time came to an end he would be puzzled to name the day and the place. The question came up in a debate during the short session of Congress con- corning a claim for cotton seized aft CT June 30, 1865, and many interest ing facts were brought out. Lee sur rendered at Spottsylvania court house April g, 1865; Johnston at Durham Station, N. C., April 26; Taylor at Citronelle, Ala, May 6; while the battle of Palmito Ranch, in Texas, was fought May 13, the Confederates winning the victory. As a matter of convenience the government decided that the war closed June 1, 1865, while the supreme court, as appeared by citations in the debate, has assign ed different dates to mark the legal termination of the war. It is really said to have closed at different times in different states. By an act passed in March, 1867, Congress, for a cer- tain purposes 1t had then in mind, even decided that the war ended of- ficially on August 20, 1866.
 It is peshaps impossible to say when as matter of fact the war was ended, but it is well settled that the last shot was fired at the battle of Palmito Ranch which was fought on the spot where General Zachary Taylor 19 years earlier had defeated a Mexican army of 5000 men in the opening conflict of the Mexican war. The battle of Palmito sRanch was fought on May IS, 1865, and no hos tile gun was afterwards fired in the land. Why then should not that day and that place go dow9sin history as the final date and scere of the close of the great civil struggle?

In the Musical World

Not many years ago we used to hear it said that America was not musical country. and it was quite the rule for men connected with the musical profes- sion to talk pessimisticaly about the fu- ture, but there has been marked im- provement of late." said W. E. Bell, a representative of one of the largest musical booking agencies in New York.
 Not only in the large cities Is high class music appreciated, but in a great number of the smaller cities musical ac- tivities are now in evidence as never before. Thousands of men attend sym phony concerts today where only hun dreds attended 10 or 15 years ago. Com positions in large form by American composers are beginning to be appreci- ated in Europe. With the strides made in the past decade we are encouraged to think that America will be at the very front unsteady in the near future.'

FUTURE OF THE NEW THEATRE

FUTURE OF THE NEW THEATRE. From the New York World.
 The abandonment of the New theatre for small playhouse in which to con- tinuc the experiment for which it was founded must be regarded as a wise de- cision.
 Financial profit was the least consid- theatre to encourage native dramatic au- thorship and improve the quality of American acting. But dramatic uplift. however idealistic, Is dear at the cost of $4Ooo0o for two seasons. The same ideals can be less expensively subserved on a smaller stage, and in a more inti- mate environment than that provided by the beautiful and sumptuous but too capacious structure built for the pur- pose.
 The unsuitability of the New theatre for drama of the kind had in view was early demonstrated, and 1t has since stood as a monument to economic waste a great theatre limited and circumscribed In it's usefulness.
 That movement has involved aims so various that to characterize it summarily as either a success or failure Is per- haps equally erroneous. In the sense that 1t was designed to exemplify the highest standards of acting by a thor oughly competent stock company of un- form excellence, It's ideals cannot be said to, have been realized. It has taught Broadway nothing of the managers art not already known, and has not in it's brief existence evolved a distinctive drama of any kind, native or foreign.
 On the other hand, it has undoubtedly exercised an improving ethical influence on the New York stage. It has been for two seasons an example to commer- cial theatres of high theatrical endeavor. and that influence has certainly counted for much. notwithstanding obvious short- comings. Drama in New York is better because of the New theatre, and all who have it's further improvement at heart have reason to wish the directors in tho movement good luck in the new homo they select in which to carry on their mission t- s~
