CAMPAIGN
 PUBLICITY
CONFERENCE AGREES ON BILL LIMITING EXPENDITURES
 OF CANDIDATES.
Failed to Reach Agreement on Direct Election of Senators but Both
 Reports Will Go to the Senate Monday.

Washington, Aug. 12. "A complete Iagreement on the prediction cam paign publicity bill and failure to agree upon a constitutional amend ment for the direct election of sena- ators marked the conclusion today | Of the conference between the house
 and senate over these two imporat-
 ant measures. The conference re-
 port on the publicity bill will be pre- scented to both houses Monday. Toe senate amendment limiting to an av- craze of ten cents per voter the amount that any candidate may spend | in his campaign has been dropped out of the bill. The chief reason tor Tits elimination is said to be the de- cision that it would give too much apparent authority for the use of money in campaigns.
 The conference committee approved the senate amendments limiting the |amount candidates may send to $5,- 900 for candidate for the house and s10,000 for candidate for the sen ate.
 The senate amendment requiring publicity of all campaign pledges was accepted by the house. The bAI was made to apply not only to primary. regular and special elections, but to nominating conventions and candi-
 dates who enter the fight at the last
 moment or are nominated without having been open candidates. A provision was agreed to exempt ing from the limitations of expendi-
 lures the travelling expenses of a
 candidate or the sums he may have
 to pay to the state or other authority
 as election expenses of public na.
 lure.
 As result of the failure of the lconference on the direct election of
 senators amendment. there VIII be no
 action on that subject until >Secember. This was the statement today Of
 the members of the house conference lcommittee. The house has refused to accept the Bristow amendment, ex-
 tending federal control over state elections. Tnysr objection to the lamendment is emphasized by the fact
 that similar provision was decis- lively beaten in the house and the
 Bristow amendment was carried by the senate by a majority of but one vote, the vice presidents.
 The fact that many members of lcongress have left Washington mak. ling it difficult to secure two-
 thirds majority in either house If 3 contest arose over the direct cleo. ton resolution, caused the house con- ferees to let the matter drop for the
 present They declared they would
 force withdrawal of the Bristow
 amendment in December.

Tn the senate, Senator Cummins of
 iowa, presented his amendments for
 revision of the iron and steel scned uies of the tariff law but he did not
 speak upon them today. Notwithstand. Ing the desire of the democrats to get action on the cotton bill at this ses- son. It is believed congress will not hold together for that purpose after ilnal action is taken on either or
 both of the other tariff bills. Defi- nite action by the president and an attempt to pass bill over his veto VIII be followed, it is believed, by an immediate demand for an adjourn. ment leaving the cotton bill still pending.

president Is scheduled to speak at a Methodist camp meeting at Ocean Grove. N. J., on Tuesday and while he has not written his address forthat occasion, it seems probable tonight he would find opportunity there to re- fer to the senate's action.
 The president has never felt the force of arguments that the senate would lessen its own right as part of the treaty-making power of the gov ernment by accepting these general arbitration measures as presented IL. The action of the foreign relations committee has not changed his view.
 It was admitted here tonight that If the senate insisted upon putting through the treaties in modided form a reopening Of negotiations with Great Britain and France probably would he necessary. Steps looking to such resumption of Inc negotiations are not contemplated by the pr<Nident at this time, but it is probable he will take the matter ,ip with Secre- tary Knox next week.

The Hog Situation.

The hog situation is variously es-
timated by hog growers upon the
feed supply that these various dis
tricts represent. In a locality where
the corn crop is about up to the ten
year average the feeling on the hog
trade is not alarming. These dis
tricts talk of feeding cattle and the
hog is needed to 60 in the feed yards.
The next report comes from a dis
trict where the earlier rains missed
and the corn crop is from partial
to an almost entire failure; here the
hog is not needed and the hog raiser
is anxious to market his young stuff
before it gets of hog age and profit
able pork size.
The shortage offered in some dis
tricts and the prevalence of hog
cholera in others are factors that are
going to take care of the surplus
hog production of these localities.
There has never been such spotted
condition of corn crop good, bad
and indifferent-as prevails this
year over a large area of the corn
belt. The corn country has the hog
proposition under pretty good con-
troll. The change in hog supply that
can be brought to bear to accommo-
date a big supply of cheap feed, or a
light supply of high-priced feed, can
soon be adjusted by the breeders

Talking Too Much.

He talked too much when he went
to WOO, and the maiden turned him
down; she wrung her hands and she
cried out "shoo!" and she wore a
gloomy frown. For girls are human
as all men know, wherever the girls
may roam; they don't like alecks
whose jawbones go and clack till the
COWS come home. He talked too
much when he went to work, and
speedily he was fired; the merchant
said: you're the blamedest clerk!
For folks don't come to a merchants
store for bargains in wind and noise;
so chase yourself away from my
humble door and let all your talk be
tinned!" He talked too much on the
village street, and his thoughts were
always stale; he talked too much
where the sages meet, and he talked
too much in Jail. He talked to the
butcher grave and gray, he talked to
the chimney sweep, he talked and
talked all the livelong day, and talk
ed when he was asleep. And now on
the poorhouse path he wends, and
fingers for me and you; for We'll
never put up any grass, my friends,
if talking is all we do.-Walt Mason.

Society Pins.

While men of secret societies do
not wear the emblems of these or
ders, it is not an uncommon thing at
the Union Depot to see young women
and children who are Masons, Elks,
Odd Fellows, etc. Not that they are
really affiliated with these orders,
but that the various emblematic pins
have been put on them to assure
safety in travelling. A few days ago
young girl, upon whose breast was
pinned a square and compass, lost
her railroad ticket. She was jour-
neying alone from California to an
eastern point. A man who recog-
nized the fact that some member of
her family was a Mason learned of
her misfortune. There was not much
ceremony but in less than five min
utes new ticket had been bought
and paid for and the girl placed safe
ly aboard the train on which she was
to continue her journey. Recently
small boy who was also a Mason,
had no difficulty in finding friends at
the depot. He wore pin that be-
longed to his father and although
the latter was many miles away there
was paternal care.-Kansas City

Current Comment
BurIington,s Polite Conductors.

Mr.. Samuel T. Hudson, of the Woon.
socket, r. l., Evening Call, informs the
Free Press that he is impressed by the
readiness with which the street car con-
ductors in Burlington give strangers in
formation about points of interest In
and about the city. He said Burling-
ton was the only city in which he had
ever had this experience in the course
of somewhat extended travels, and he
believed it was worthy OF special men
ton
1t is safe to say that the Burling-
ton street car conductors will receive a
very favorable notice in the Woonsocket
Call, and incidentally this city will de-
rive no little benefit from this incl
dent. Not only will Burlington be well
advertised as result but Mr.. Hud
son will be inclined to spend another va
cation in a city with which he has been
so favorably impressed
We are reminded in this connection of
the grand service for our community
that can be performed with a little
thought by every man. woman and child
who come in contact with visitors to
our city. Simple politeness will 60 a

elect Bentoas introduction to the uni

of sympathy among all seems to have
been cemented, which augurs well for
the beginning of his labors as soon as
he comes to Burlington from Miami uni.
versity in Ohio. That introduction, al
though largely local, serves to commend
DIR. Benton also to the people of the en-
tire state who have been waiting to
learn the impressions gained concerning
the successor to President Buckham. 1t
may be said that the first impressions
we're entirely favorable, thus tending to
bear out the wisdom of the trustees in
their action. The ancient institution in
Burlington is, therefore, in position
to start its one hundred and eighth year
under favorable auspices.
