, NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 28.-On
reconsideration the House of Repre-
sentatives today passed the general
appropriation bill with the $500 grab
for each member of the Legislature.
The bill came up on motion to re-
consider. When the motion passed,
Mr.. Galloway, Of Maury county, NOV
ed to strike out the item providing ex-
ira compensation for the members of
$500 each. There was a heated de-
bate of the proposition, Mr.. Galloway
leading the fight to save the State this
' disgraceful grab. 1t was a vain
fight, however.
Gov. Hooper threw himself into the
breach in an effort to save the State
from this dsgraceful grab but his
words fell on deaf ears. He sent a

The Republicans have so long
fooled the leople into supporting
their iniquItous protective tariff
policy by their pitiful plea for the
protection of American labor from
competition with the pauper labor
of Europe. that it has become a
habit. This bad habit received sew
eral jolts lately when the facts
were brought out that a majority
of the laborers employed in the
coal mines and steel mills of Penn
sylvania and in the construction of
great railroads all over the country
are foreigners = Greeks, Italians.
Slaves, Hungarians and Mexicans'
The whole truth of the matter is
that the Republican. party has made
it possible for the great manufac-
turing corporations to extort inor-
dinate profits from the masses of
the people, and in turn has received
liberal campaign contributions and
stanch support at the polls. -

George Pearson accomplished a
feat June 9th, which is considered
most remarkable. one which was
probably never accomplished at this
season of the year that of wading
the Missouri river from bank to
bank, says the Glasgow Missourian.
Usually at this season of the
year the average depth of the chan
mel is supposed to be at least Is
feet, but on account of the dry
weather. the river was lower last
week than ever known at this sea-
son of the year. and on account of
it being divided by an island near
Saline City. it has two channels. one
on either side of the island. The
channel on this side was known to
be shallaw, as Frank Brockway has
been going across it with his team
all spring, as ne IS cultlVatlng a
large crop of corn on the island.
Mr.. Pearson, who must be a good
swimmer, or he would not have
made the effort to cross the river,
concluded to sound the depth of
the channel on the east side of the
island. He procured long stick,
and stripping himself of most of his
clothing, started out on his journey.
He says the depth ranged from a
foot up to his arm pits. which
would be about four feet four
inches at the deepest place. He
said the bottom in the channel
was perfectly solid and the water
very swift, but he walked it fiat
footed" all the way.

What is said to be the coolest
place on the globe is the region of
Verkholensk, Siberia. Here is a
convict station, but during most of
the year no guards are needed to
keep the PRISONERS from running
away, for in the more severe por-
tions of the winter no living Great
ure can remain in the open, and
during the three most severe
months, when the temperature
sometimes falls to IS degrees below
zero, no one dares to venture out
for more than a few moments at a
time Ordinary steel tools will snap
like glass, and unseasoned wood
becomes almost as hard steel, When
one breatheS a powder like the
very finest snow falls at ones feet.
1t is said that there are less forms
of insect life here than elsewhere
in the world, and some of those
found are not found elsewhere seem
ingly having been created especially
to inhabit such a frigid region
Some of the signal service officials
declare that most of the severe
cold waves that sweep across the
North American continent have
their origin in Verkholensk. The
wind blows a gale almost all the
time. = Record.

AS was expected the house re-
fused to concur in the senate
amendment to the resolution pro-
viding for election of U. S. senators
by direct vote. The discussion of
the motion to concur was warm.
Hefiin poured hot shot into Joseph
G. Cannon that made him vince.
Rucker of Missouri, who had the
matter in charge, made a splendid
fight against concurring in the
amendment. He reminded some
state delegations of recent events
in their own state legislatures that
ought to cause them to favor the
resolution. His mention of Champ
Clark as president of March 4, 1918,
brought a round of applause that
lasted until the speaker by strenu-
GUS use of the gavel reminded the
members that it was a legislative
body not a Democratic convention.

Where the Hand Shake Originated.
In the olden days of chivalry,
about which you all have read,
every man went about armed with
a sword or dagger. This was nee
essary for purposes of self-defence
for in those days every slightest
cause was seized upon as an excuse
to fight. Men in those times were
very easily insulted and undertook
duels at almost no provocation.
When, therefore, a man wished to
show that he considered himself
among friends and that his thoughts
were peaceable, he extended his
right hand, signifying that he plac-
ed himself at the mercy of his COM

Protectionist Argument Gone.

washington. There is one pro-
tectionist argument that will never
again occupy the place in Ameri-
can politics that it has in the past.
That is the argument that a high
protection wall is necessary to en-
able American manufacturers to
compete in home markets with
foreign manufactured goods.
The reason this stock protection
list argument will never again per-
form the same valuable mission for
the Republicans. is because of speech
delivered in the House by VIM. c.
Redfield of New York, who is a
manufactures himself, and who for
10 years has been selling American
manufactures in foreign countries.
Relfield contented and proved
that the difference in daily wages
at home and abroad shouldn't be
the sole basis of determining the
amount of protection to be applied
to a given article.
He cited instance after instance
in which he sold articles manufact-
ured by SIS day American en-
ployes in countries where labor re-
ceived less than one dollar day. .
Redfield took the position that
American manufacturers did not
need as much protection as they
were now enjoying to protect them
from foreign competition" because
they are successfully competing
with foreign manufacturers in all
parts of the world.
How does it happen" demanded
Redfield, that in a quotation re-
Gently the American price was $215
less than made for machinery to
mine in Japan English price?"
How does it happen that 720
American locomotives are running
upon the japanese railways. and
upon the railways of Formosa and
upon those of Manchuria? These
are sold in open competition with
the makers in Great Britain"
Redfield related an incident be-
tween an American salesman who
recently took large contract from
the Japanese Imperial State Rail-
ways and one of the MANAGERS of
the Imperial Railways shop.
The Japanese official was under
impression that he could manufac-
ture locomotives cheaper than an
American plant because Japanese
wages are but one fifth of American
wages.
Both men got out their cost
books" said Redfield, and they
found that the fact was the labor
cost for locomotives ON the same
specifications was three and one
half times greater in the Japanese
shops than in the American shops.
And this is a perfectly normal fact
and not an abnormal one"
Redfield said when he was in
Calcutta, India, recently, his agent
pointed to a pair of American shoes
he was wearing. Il paid $685. for
those shoes" said the agent. 1T is
the regular American SIS shoe"
Redfield gave a score of similar
instances. 1t is impossible to do
justice to his remarkable revelation
in this dispatch.

secure, free of charge, a copy of the
complete speech, without doubt one
of the most remarkable of its kind
ever made in Congress, by writing

The latest government statistics
on the animal industry of the
United States proves considerable
of a surprise to those who have
been imbued with the mistaken
idea that the automobile was fast
SuperSeding the horse in use and
popularity as well as in the amount
of money invested. These statistics
show that the value of the horses
in the United States of all classes
at the time the report was COM
piled last year. was three billion
five hundred million dollars; the
value of all the cattle. sheep and
hogs, two billion five hundred mil
lion dollars; of all grain crops, 1910,
three billion dollars; the cotton crop
one billion dollars, while the value
of all the automobiles in the country
was but six hundred million dollars
showing that the value of the
horses in the United States was al
most three billion dollars greater
than all the automobiles. The gov
eminent report also states that
while the amount of increase in the
automobile industry annually is one
hundred million dollars that of the
horse is five hundred million. This
official report does not indicate that
the horse is being crowded off the
portion of the earth held by the
United States; not very fast, at any
rate. Palmer L. Clark.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

CITY Council last night with less than
ten minutes debate took an advanced
pusition on the question OF compre-
hensive system of general street I'M
provement
The failure to outline any permanent
plan heretofore has been due in 4
GREAT measure 10 the difference Of
oDinion among the members ofcouncll,
as 10 whether the City should pay for
the whole of the Improvement, or the
nronerlv owners should contribute q
portion OF the expense, The fact that
the action OF council last night was
unanimous, would indicate that tins
lmpor,ant question had been disposed
of once fnr all.
Such however. is not the case.
The resolution reads. That the sum
Of f'ty thousand dollars be borrowed
al = rate OF interest not to exceed four
Der cent. Suck sum to be expended
for street Improvement under the plan
or local assessment or agreement with
the property owners and in conformity
with an act or the assembly approved
March IA. 1870
A number OF the members OF Coun-
ell construed this to mean that the ad'
joining property owners shouti con-
tribute to the improvement OF the street
as heretofore, and such seems to have
been the purpose of the committee on
street and finance. Other members
construed the resolution to mean that
the property owners should contribute
to the laying OF sidewalks only. What
ever the outcome Of this miSunder-
standing may be. the purpose which
srtuated council was most commend
able: the people OF this city want street
improvements and want them now; if
wr can get them under the plan of
local assessments, SO much the better
but If not, let ms have street improve
