MUCH UNCERTAINTY RE-
GARDTNC LEGISLATION
Democrats Offering Many Suggestions as to
What Congress Ought to Do; The Tariff
Question Will Probably be Taken Up

With the meeting date of Con-
gress drawing near, there is much
uncertainty regarding the program
me that will be adopted for legis-
lation. Champ Clark, as the DEM
ocratic leader in the lower House
and prospective Speaker, is reciev-
ing many suggestions from mem
bers of his party as to what should
be done. Some of these sugges-
tions are confidential, while others
are in the nature OF open letters,
and those who submit them are
seeking the approval Of the party
at large.
1t would be impossiable to sum-
marize all the suggestions that are
being made, but they cover a very
wide range from the very conser-
vative to the exceedingly radical.
Some think that Congress ought to
act on the Presidents reciprocity
treaty and adjourn, while others
believe that this is the time for
the Democrats to enter upon an ex-
tensive and radical legislative pro-
gramme. The course adopted
probably will be between the two
extremes and it is pretty safe to
assume that the more important
things which Congress contem-
plates taking up will be referred to
COMMITTEES which will have several
rSonths time to make an investi-
cation so that there will not be very
much precipitate and poorly con
sidered legislation.

The Tariff.

There is even less information
available regarding prospective
Democratic tariff legislation than
there is with regard to the general
Legislative programme. There has
been no lack of representation on
this subject, and a good many state
ments have been printed purport-
ing to reflect the intentions OF the
Democratic majority. AS matter
of fact, however, there is practical
ly nothing certain, or at least moth
ing known, about any plans that
may have been formulated. The
Ways and Means Committee has
been working assiduously to put in
to shape the mass of information in
its possession so as to form a tar
if bill. The Committee is working
as it did on the Payne Bill; that is
to say, the majority of the Com
mittee is making up the bill and
the minority will have nothing to
say about it except the privilege
of submitting a dissenting report.
None of the Democratic Members
of the Committee will say single
word about their deliberations, so
that il may be taken as an accepted
fact that any thing printed on the
sAhisst is pure guess work.
The Influence of Bryan.
William jennings Bryan will un-
doubtly be a factor in the legisla-
tion which Congress about to take
up. But how much is Of a factor it
is very difficult to foesee. OF course
Mr.. Bryan is one of the great lead
ers OF the Democracy, and as such
his views are entitled to very
serious consideration. He has an
immense personal following, and
it is purely matter of speculation
whether his influence is on the wane
or not. How ever, Mr.. Bryan
does not wholly dominate his
party, as was seen recently when he
dropped into Washington for the
purpose, it is alleged, of giving
counsel as to organization OF the
House. One OF the things that Mr..
Bryan alleged to have opposed was
Preferment OF Representative Fitz-
gerald, OF New York, and it was
also stated, as with authority, that
he had failed in his purpose. This,
however, is not of itself sufficient
evidence that the counsel OF the
great Commner will fall upon deaf
ears. lie has many staunch friends
and real admirers in both Houses,

Reciprocity Talk
The unofficial announcement that
negotiations are in progress be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo looking to a reciprocity treaty
will be likely to injure the ratihca-
tion of the Canadian tariffre ciproc-
ity treaty by Congress at its extra
session. Reciprocity with Mexico
is the very thing which has been
feared by some of the foremost op-
ponents of the Canadian treaty.
By reason Of the low wage scale
paid in Mexico, the cheapness of
land, and the climatic advantages
in some ports of the Republic, maxi
ing it possible to produce fruit,
grain, livestock, and other agricul-
tural staples much more cheaply
than they can be produced on this
side of the line, Mexico threatens
to become formidable competitor
OF the U nited States in many direc-
tions " here her competition has
heretofore not heen felt. In quiet
waythe Government of Mexico has
been forcing agricultural develop
ment. The cattle interests realize
that the free importing of cattle
and sheep and hogs from Mexico
would makea great deal of difference
in their profits. Farmers along the
border know better than others how
impossible it would be for them to
compete with Mexican farmers
whose land and labor cost them
next to nothing. Take the highly
specialized citrus fruit industry of
California, Arizona, Texas, Louis
lana, and Florida. The lands us
ed are among the most costly on
which any commercial crop is
grown. In many cases they are
irrigated at a large expense. AL
most without exception the bills
tor fertilizer are very heavy, rum
ming as high as SIoo or more per
acre per acre per year for these
crops rapidly exhaust thesoil. The
labor employed is expensive, if
efficient. The cost of handling
the crop is large, being divided
between the pickers, packers,
precoolers, refrigerators carriers,
the proportion going to the rail-
roads being in all cases very large.
At the present time evenwith a
protective tariff the citrus fruit
from Cuba and Mexico can be
brought into this country and sold
at profit. The planting OF citrus
fruit has gone on very extensively
in both those countries during the
last few years, and there is begin
ming to be great pressure for low
ering of the tariff. Much Ameri-
can capitel is represented in the
Cuban and Mexican citrus fruit in
dustry, and these Americans will

This is not the only direction in
Mexican reciprocity would be in-
furious to American industries, for
Mexico has been expanding very
rapidly, not only agriculturally but
industrialIy; and her cheap labor
she would be a most formidable
competitor of American industries
along the line il she were given
free access to our markets. II is
foregone conclusion, therefore,
that every farmer and manuiactur-
er who will foresee injury TO his

FINE PRE-MORMAN CHURCH
Remarkably Well Preserved Edifice at
Worth Was Built Long Before
the Conquest.

Many churches in Britain owe their
origin to the piety of the Norman in
vader, but these which antedate this
great period of church building are not
so numerous. One such pre-Norman
edifce is the fine old parish church of
Worth, near Three Bridges. a little
book, written by Rev. Arthur Bridge,
the rector of Worth, tells the his
tory of what is aptly described as
one of the most remarkable relics of
a bygone age. 1t seems probable that
the church passed with the Manor of
Worth under. the will of Alfred the
Great to his third son, Ethelward.
Archaeologists will be lavish of thanks
to Mr.. Eridge for the interesting and
useful little record of his unique
church. He tells us that Worth ex,
hibits the earliest example of the pure
ly English cruciform building, and its
semi-circular eastern end is of very an
cient date. But the whole church, as
might be gathered, possess many fea-
lures which make it of peculiar fascin-
alton to the student of the antique.
The windows, for instance, have not
suffered restoration" and are well
known to all students OF architecture
here and on the continent.-Durdee

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW
His Dissertation on the One Priceless
Treasure Which All Men
Share Alike.

"Steven, my boy" said Uncle Hiram,
"one man may have more talent than
another or more courage or more

man on earth can have any more of
than you have, and that is time.
Did you ever stop to think of that?
Or maybe you haven't come to it yet.

be any favoritism or special privilege
or gouging or monopoly in time. You
get what's coming to you anyway, and
no man on earth can take it away
from you.
"And isn't this something to be
cheerful over? Why, Stevey. it's the
grandest thing going to think that of
the most valuable thing of all we've
got as much as the man that rides by
US in $4,000 automobile. But. and
now I'm getting down to the sermon,
Stevey, this most precious thing Of

but we waste it ourselves shockingly
Don't waste time. Stevey, please
don't. AS you feel now you've got q

less. plenty of time; but time is one
of those things that once lost can
never be recovered. Don't waste n
minute of it. When you play, play;
sink the shop; forget it utterly; but
when you work utilize all your time.
Don't dawdle it away"

Motor Maps.

In countries like France, where
roads are good and cross roads nu-
merous, travellers by automobile have
frequent occasion to consult road
maps, because they go so fast and
change direction so often that topo.
graphical information is. for them, a
continual necessity.
To meet this there has been invent
ed an automatic chart that unrolls in
step with the advance of the carriage,
SO that the chauffeur has always be-
fore him a map of the route he is to
pursue. When the road is about to
turn sharply an electric bell gives
warning 300 meters in advance. An.

whole apparatus is moved by gearing

Great Chance for This Judges Wife.

A New York court has established
a ruling that no woman's dress car
ries money value after it has been
worn ten times. The decision was
made in a fire insurance suit whereby
the plaintiff sought to recover the full
value of clothing destroyed. In ad-
mitting that the clothing had been
worn more than ten times the plain
tiff lost her case, for the court gave
her but trifling sum.
Whew. What an opportunity for
that judges wife! She might hang a
tally sheet by her wardrobe door with
the record of every wearing of every
garment Ten times and out" might
become her slogan. If she chose, she
could have new dress or two or
three new dresses every ten days
according to the number of times she
wishes to change her clothes in
days time. Perhaps at the end of n
month the judge might come to the
conclusion that after all dress has
some money value after it has been
worn ten times.

FINE BLADES OF DAMASCUS
Swords Made In the Oriental City
Were Most Wonderfully Temp
cred and Adorned.

Fancy frills and ornamentation were
not thought of in the hurried forging
of weapons called into need by the
breaking out of the Civil War. How
plain the usual cavalry sabre was. for
instance. is well shown by comparison
with the lavishly ornamented weapons
turned out by the oriental sword
makers. The Turkish sword is a beau
tiful piece of work. the blade, dam
ascened" with inlaid wires OF gold, be-
ing of astonishing elasticity. Each
quarter inch of surface of the gilt
scabbard, handle and hilt is crowded
with engraved designs.
From the city of Damascus. cele-
brated for more than a thousand years
for the skill of its swordmakers. the
Crusaders took to Europe the art of
'damascening' tissue of dark lines
on light ground. or the reverse-ard
the inlaying of gold on the steel itself.
In the genuine Damascus blade of the
best period the figure, that is. the in
tricate twists made in the steel while
hot under the hammer of the sword
smith, is not. as some think, matter
of surface. 1t extends through the
blade. and hence is not removed by a
thousand polishings. These beautiful
figures on the genuine blades are al
most identical with the best so-called
Damascus gun barrels OF today.

VolaPuk.

A few years ago Volapuk was the
order OF the day, and we are only re-
minded Of its erstwhile fame by read
ing an account in Paris contempo-
rary of the death Of its founder. He
was an ecclesiastic named Schleyer,
and his method was to constitute
universal language by borrowing
freely from the Roman and German
tongues. They proposal received a
great deal of lattention from serious
writers. and it goes without saying
that it came in for lot of ridicule.
The effort might have succeeded had
1t not been for Esperanto. The old
priest watched the rise and decline Of
his proposal, and he lived to see its
fall. The thought that must suggest
itself to all who give the matter con-
sideration is: Why should there be n
new language? Why not teach boys
to write Latin as a universal Ian
guage? An effort in this direction is
being made in Germany.
