There is only one way to cure deaf

have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos

this Inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are

Especial to the Journal Miner)

Special to the Journal Miner)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April S. - The Hunt party on the second days visit to the White House was ad- mitted today to see the President. He did not say he would approve or dis approve the constitution or would sign or veto the joint resolution. He declined to commit himself to any line of action but gave them to un- derstand that before ne decided wheth- CT or not the question of recall of judges was compatible with the con- stitution of the United States, he preferred to have the benefit of argu- ments which would be made in the house and senate upon this prop ositiOn.
 The party found little consolation in the visit.
 Delegate Cameron will change his house joint resolution instead of read ing, Approve, the constitution it will read Admit Arizona as a State Several senators who voted "no" at the last session on "Ap- prove'' will vote "yes'' on "admit. ''

resources of Canada to the great
 masses of our own consummers on ad-
 vantageOus terms, and at the same
 time offer a broader market for the
 excess products of our farms and
 many of our industries
 The President said when the full
 text of the agreement and data ex-
 plaining it's scope and purpose were
 made public it would be immediately
 aparent as the ripened fruits of the
 careful labors of the commissioners and meet with widespread approval. |" This approval mas been strengthened by the further consideration of the terms of, the agreement in all their particulars and the volume of support developed shows a broad national scope fully responsive to the popular will"
 The President then calls attention to his message of January 26th trans hitting the agreement as negotiated to the sixty-frst Congress where the bill confirming the treaty passed the house but failed to pass the senate, adding: ''I now lay that message and reciprocity trade agreement as a part of the present message before the Sixty-second Congress and again invite the earnest attention and the therein expressed.
 "In concluding the negotiations, re- presentative of the two countries i bound themselves to use their utmost 1 efforts to bring about tariff changes provided for in the agreement by con current legislation at Washington and Ottawa. I felt it my duty, there fore, not to aequiesee to the relegation of the action until the opening of Congress in December, but to use my constitutional prerogative and convoke -he Sixty-second Congress in extra session in order that there would be no break in continuity in considering md acting upon this most important subject.

While the Hunt crowd has been here several days they not only re- frain from advising or consulting with. but refuse to even visit Dele gate Cameron, who has worked for statehood every day since his elee- tion. Bailey's victory for Martin as minority leader will be of great as- sistance to statehood in the senate Hoval Smith is here working to secure statehood.
 Minority Leader Elected By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April z. = Martin of Virginia, Democratic eau GUS chairman, was elected leader of the minority in the senate today by a vote of 21 to l6 over Shively of Indiana. The contest was the out growth of the wish of William Jen- nings Bryan that an avowed progress sive should be named, but several senators, so classed, were embarrassed by pledges they made many weeks ago to support Martin which was given to prevent the election of Bailey or Bacon.
 Shively was made vice-ehairman. By the appointment he will be chair man of the steering committee and will also serve on the committee of committees authorized by the caucus. The latter committee will have the report of the program and the filling of vacancies on the standing com mittees in caucus by itself.
 A statement was made by Owen, of Oklahoma, explaining his vote against Martin. He said twenty-two or twenty-three militant progressive Democratic senators were going to do things and they feared the country might not think Martin would quite fiil the radical bill but they expect the country will be areeably disap- pointed in him.
