'SOL|C|TS THE REASONS

Inquiry Regarding Alleged Dis
elimination Against Ameri-
can Wives of N0bIemen.

Representative SABBATH of Illinois is
anxious to know why good many
American girls who have married titled
foreigners have been excluded from the
coronation festivities. So yesterday aft
ernoon he introduced a resolution, re-
questing the Secretary of State Ito ascer-
tain. through our ambassador to Eng

monies and the reasons why they have

Mr.. SABBATH means, when he says
those the dear peeresses'' from this
country who in Europe are designated "a

of whom are permitted to participate il,

The resolution also directs the Secretary
OF State to find out from United States

maiden names and the present titles 81
all those American-born wives of foreign
title-bearers such as dukes. counts and
so on, the amount expended by them in
securing and obtaining these titles the
amount of money they are now dra wing
from the United States for keeping the
titles and the number of them that have
been forced to separations or divorces.
Wants Evidence of Humiliation"
Mr. SABBATH wants still more informa-
ton. He insists that the Secretary of
State inquire into the humiliation" that
title-bearing American women are forced
to undergo, the number of American
women now abroad under negotiations
for the seeming purpose OF obtaining
titles, and how much American money Is
now being annually expended by title
seekers for this purpose. Also, how many
millions of shares of stocks and bonds
are being held in Europe which first
found their way into the Golfers or the

Good Chance of Passing.

Once before the Senate. the bill Will
be in the hands of a combination of
democratic and progressive republican
votes which may be sufficient to give 1t
good chance of passnG. The fact
that twenty-seven republicans in the
House voted for the bill yesterday is
deemed indicative Of the prospective
position of some republican senators.
If the wool bill comes before the
Senate IL is likely TO be amended. The
sentiment in the Senate is more In favor
Of duty of go per cent on raw wool
than 90 per cent, and this sentiment is
reflected in influential senator's on the
democratic side. There Will be some
changes in the relative duties on
blankets and carpets, too. 1t Is expected
1t was stated today that democratic
senator's have already sounded progress
sive repu blicans as to their views on
action on the wool bill. with very en-
couraging results The one thing that
threatens the program Is the posi-
bility OF the prog ressive republican
falling into line behind A party policy
of Withholding action until the tariff
board reports.
Appeals are now being made to the
progressives by some of the repub-
licans opposed to action at this time To
enunciate a party policy of this kind
and stand behind IL as reason for not
taking up the wool bill.

Await Reciprocity Bill.

At any rate nothing Is likely to he
done until the reciprocity bill is out
of the way, even in committee. The
reciprocity bill will pass by an over
whelming majority, and, ii Is now be-
lieved without amendment OF any
kind.
Those democrats who wanted TO
amend by adding the farmers free list
bill and the wool bill have practically
given up hope of the success OF such
a movement support is lacking among
their own numbers.
a final effort may he made to hold UP
the vote on the reciprocity bill until a
promise Is given of opportunity to vote
on the wool bill, but there are differences
of opinion among democrats even as to
the advisability Of that insistence.
The fact is, the democrats see an OPP
portunity OF passing the reciprocity bill
and claiming credit for II. and they don't
want TO drop that substantial bone for
the shadow of other tariff legislation

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown has issued
a statement announcing that he will
be a candidate for governor of Geor-
gia. He has not been in a hurry to
get into a race for an office in which
there is no vacancy. He does not
move with rashness, and, like all
careful men, he has Examined his
ground thoroughly.
If reports are true he has been
the recipient of urgent requests from
every part of the state and from
both of the former political factions,
and it is only from sense of duty
to the people and his friends that
he has consented to re-enter the po-
litical arena.
The Savannah Press, which oppos-
ed Governor Brown in both of his
former races, states the situation
fairly when it says that at the time
of the election of Governor Smith to
the senatorship there was a general
desire for Governor Brown to accept
the office again. He was defeated
by but little more than 5000 votes
in the regular primary, and the peo-
pie in some way wanted the situa-
ton sized up so that Hoke Smith
could go to the senate and Joe Brown
could return to the governor
chair 1t is a high tribute to Gov
ernor Brown that he has such a large
and determined following, and that
these influences should have insisted
so continuously upon him becoming
a candidate
Governor Brown, as TIE Press says
is known to be painstaking and
conscientious man. These elements
in his administration appealed to the
people, and it has long been apparent
that the two candidates who have
been before the public some time
have failed to cover the ground OF
to arouse the enthusiasm of the
state.

THE FARNIER THE ONLY HOPE.

THE FARMER THE ONLY HOPE.
The President may not have read
the axiom that civilization begins
and ends at the plow," but be that as
it may it is noted that in his speech
at Syracuse a few days ago he turned
to the farmer as the hope of escape
from the present high cost of living,
even of probable reduction of exist
ing prices. The executive is
thoughtful, a far-seeing man, If he
is republican, and he deplores the
movement of rural population to the
cities, discerning as a result diminu-
ton OF food supplies that must come
from the farm and no where else,
The farmer, he feeds them ALL is
proclaimed by Mr.. Taft, and he holds
hope that science and invention
will aid the farmer in materially in
creasing the yield Of the ground he
cultivates, thus obviating danger of
a time when the food supply will
not be adequate to the needs of
mankind. 1t is wholesome and
practical thought, and it may be be-
lieved, too, that it was thought Of
increased food supply that impelled
the President, to considerable ex-
tent, in proposing the Canadian
agreement, for he foresaw in that
the hope of drawing on the sister
country to supplement our own pro-
duction Of bread and meat.

DISASTROUS DEFEAT.

After hard-fought campaign the
people of Canada have said they do
not want reciprocal trade relations
with the United States The defeat
was disastrous one, and all of our
work for reciprocity in this country
has gone for nothing.
1t was for reciprocity that Presi-
dent Taft called an extra session of
congress, and with the aid of demo
cratic members, large majority of
whom supported the agreement, he
got reciprocity ratified.
In Canada the campaign was the
bitterest in the Dominion's political
history. And it was the most dishon-
est. 1t is believed that American
trusts furnished good deal Of the
money the opponents of reciprocity
spent so freely-at least they get
credit for doing so.
Champ Clark, speaker of the ma
tional house of representatives, also
contributed largely to the adverse
vote in Canada by a speech he made
during the last session of congress
in favor Of the agreement. and in
which he said he desired 10 see the
annexation of that country.
The money Of the trusts, coupled
with the Champ Clark speech ere
ating a real fear that we were get
ting ready to run the stars and
stripes up at Montreal and through
out the province of Canada, sounded
the death knen of what would have
been great and progressive move
ment of the United States and Can
ada if it could have been carried to
a conclusion.
