Relating To Wood Pulp Paper
Adopted by Committee Vote of
Eight To Six.

Washington. June S.-The Cana
dian reciprocity bill Is ready for con-
sideration by the Senate, the finance
committee today having voted ten 10
four to report the bill Tuesday with
out recommendation and with the
Root amendment 10 the wood pulp
and paper clause tackled on u the
measure.
Senator Roots amendment pro-
vides that wood pulp paper and board
shall not be admitted free OF duty
into the United States from Canada,
until these products are admitted free
from this country into every province
OF Canada. Preceding the vote to re-
port the bin. this amendment was
adopted by the committee by a vote
OF to s. those opposing II being

against the motion. Senator Johnson,
OF Maine. was not present.
Two reasons actuated the commit
tee in waiting until next Tuesday TO
report the bill to the Senate. The
principal one was that several men,
bers OF the minority wished delay
OF several days in which to prepare
the minority report. Mr.. Stone, Mr..
Williams and Mr.. Kern probably will
present a report urging the passage
Of the bill unamended. while Sena-
tors McCumber and La Toilette will
make reports opposing the passage
Of the measure.
The second reason was that the
Borah resolution. providing for the
direct election OF Senators, win be be-
fore the Senate until next Monday,
the day fixed some time ago for. a
vote thereon.

senator Rayner Again Cites Ex-Presi-
dents Agility ut Quick Changes.

Washington, June Sin presenting
TO the Senate his final plea in support
of the election Of Senators by direct
vote of the people Senator Rayner, Of
Maryland, today once more paid his
respects TO former President Roosevelt
! He said he did not enjoy reference 10
the fact that he and Mr.. Roosevelt
agree in their advocacy Of this policy
and explained that when he was on q
platform he stayed on it. while the
former President had the peculiar
faculty" of getting on and off plat
forms with extraordinary alacrity.
mo other individual in the United
States has the genius that he has in
this connection" said Rayner.' He
can make a statement one day and
absolutely deny it the next, and peo-
pie seem TO believe him both times.
Talking about platfroms he can make
a speech upon the platform of n rail-
road train where the stations are only
mile apart and recant at one station
what he had said at the station he
( had Just passed; he can recommend
/ the selection Of q progressive Senator
! in one state and then with equal
vehemence endorse an extreme con
Servative in another; he can stand
upon two political platforms, each
( radically differing from the other ana
! then deny that ne stood upon either
&, them; he can coquCtte with both
/, POLITICAL parties and then start a party
Of his own. whose doctrines and poll
cies consist of an incoherent medley
Of unconstitutional impossiblities.
He can stand before an intelli-
/ gent audience Of 5000 and tell them
how at the dead Of night upon the
/ borders of an African jungle, upon
the banks Of river that never had
any existence when no one was with
him. he encountered and slaughtered
| a NEUROLOGICAL animal that God never
had created, and receive the widest
plaudits for the miraculous perform
ance OF this impossible accomplish
ment."
Senator Rayner declared that after
obtaining his, (Rayner's) promise To
maintain his position on the railroad
rate bill. Mr.. Roosevelt had himself
changed his own position overnight.

Indiana has one of the most
drastic statutes in the country to
protect her boys of tender years
against the physical and mental
destruction of the cigarette habit.
That statutes, we believe, fixes the
age limit of protection at Is years.
No doubt much more than half of
the male student body at Notre
Dame hail from other states than
Indiana, and may take the habit
to that school with them, or il
may be that the anticigarette law
has found as lax enforcement in
Indiana as in other states, and the
boy there, as elsewhere, is per-
mitted to cultivate the taste for
this poison in his immature years.
What this edict ut Notre Dame
establishes beyond question is
that cigarettes are within the easy
reach of the male students at that
college. 1t is a condition and not
a theory the faculty there are
dealing with it in the only way il
can ever be met successfully.
