Reciprocity.
If we could live on thirty cents
A week, as persons do
Who come to us from foreign parts
And stay a year Or two,
We soon could be as rich as they
And of the landlord free
If we worked on and didn't spend.
But where would business be?
This Is Il world Of give and take
And not of calm repose.
If no n bought a spool Of thread
The mills would have to close.
If living was on bread and cheese
And other things as cheap
The men who made the luXuries
Could put their works to sleep.
In theory it is very fine
To lead the simple life,
But n may come in contact with
The notions Of his wife.
She will not wear the same old hat
Forever and a day.
And If her clothes are not in style
There's several things to Jay.
The gentleman of foreign birth
Who has that sort Of Skill
May save out ninety cents or more
From every dollar bill.
But he is few in quite a crowd.
If every one would drop
His spendings to his barest needs
We'd have to shut UP shop.

English detective stories have
their waiting and their waning in
public favor; their American
limitations hold the readers at
tention for a time; French and
German a%cuteness in the devils
ing of original plots engages our
interest until the tales of newer
Vidocqs are told, but Anna Kath-
arine Green's detective stories,
based on incidents of American
life. are perennial boomers.
They know no permanent rivals
in American liking.
In the writing of stories with
originality of plot, skillful de-
piction of character, interest of
incident, intricacyo of mysterya and
boldness of denouement no for
etga novelist a hope to COM
pete for American favor with
this American wonnan writer.

Cook, a business associate, to the eff
feet that Hines said to them about the
time of Lorimer's election that "old
Stephenson" (naming Senator 1. Ste
phenson of Wisconsin, so Cook believ-
ed) until latter I elected him he was
working for free lumber" and that the
Southern Democrats fuctuated in
their attitude. Turrish said he re-

Stephenson was undecided.

Be Wet AGAIN
Saloons Are Voted In BY a Majority
OF 1,e67-RusselI County
Also Wet.

Montgomery, Ala, July 1S.-With
eight small country beats to hear
from, Montgomery county yesterday
voted wet by majority of 1857. The
total vote in the fourteen city and
country beats heard from was 2,793.
The city vote was 2,O68 wet and 401
dry. Saloons and high license were
voted in. The total vote for the dis
pensary, 329; against the dispensary,
1861. The vote for dispensary was
smaller than the vote for prohibition.
This was the first liquor election
ever held in this county, and in sharp
contrast to similar elections held in
other counties. It was as quiet and
orderly as a funeral. There was prac-
tically no organized prohibition move
ment, and the workers around the
polls were not overly active. The
forces of the wet people were concen-
trated on the question of the saloon
and regulation as opposed to the dis
pensary.

rectors of the American Sugar Refin-
ing Company, was the first witness at
todays hearing of the Congressional
sugar trust" Investigating committee.
At the New York hearing a number of
prominent sugarmen will be sworn.
Thomas testified that in 1891 the
American Sugar Refining Company
was capitalized at fifty million dol
lars, which was increased to seventy
five million dollars when the Ameri-
can company took over the Philadel-
phia refineries and to ninety million
when it entered the beet sugar field.
Without explaining, Thomas inter
rupted his testimony to defend the
memory of the late H. O. Havemeyer.
'Mr. Havemeyer ran the company" he
said, "as a captain runs a ship. He
did what he thought best for the stock
holders. OF course public opinion has
changed since then. Mr.. Havemeyer
didn't believe in letting the public
know what he was doing"
Mr.. Thomas was asked what was the
cause of the sugar war between the
American Sugar Refining Company
and Arbuckle. "Arbuckle wanted a
discount on the sugar he purchased
and Havemeyer would not give it
Arbuckle then put up a sugar refinery
and we started in the coffee business
The war was on and it was a merry
one."
Did Arbuckle and Havemeyer have
a conference just before the war end
ed?" the witness was asked. eyes
and we went out of the coffee bust
ness"
And ArbuclSle has been followin,

asked. "Yes, he makes his prices tn,
same as ours" said Thomas.

While nothing even approaching a
panic exists here, the situation is re-

Doty, health officer of the port has felt
called upon to issue reassuring state
ment. DR.. Doty says that the cholera
germ can be received in one way only
through the mouth-and that there
is no danger in ordinary contact with
persons who have the disease.
However, Charles Dushkins, counsel
for the complainants at the investiga-

in progress, declares his belief that the

Very Drastic Publicity Bill
Is Passed By The Senate

promise political places to secure cleo
tion support or to aid in influencing
the election of any member of the
State Legislature.
The bill will be the subject of prob
ably prolonged conferences between
the two houses. 1t originated in the
House as a part of the Democratic
legislative programme, and was de-
signed to require the publication of eX-
penditures before election, which is not
required by the existing publicity law.
The Republicans in the House unsuc-
cessfully attempted to extend the bill
to cover primary election expenses. In
the Senate today the primary election
amendment, coupled with more radical
amendments, were adopted with little
opposition.
The Senate amendments authorized
by the committee on privileges and
elections required publicity of all pri-
mary election expenses and all pledges
of political jobs or favors. Some OBJ
lection to this was made on the ground
that primary elections were not within
the control of Congress. The amend
ment was finally adopted, however. by
vote of so to 7, Senators Bacon,
Bailey, Bankhead, tombstone, Bryan,
Overman and Taylor voting against it..

drastic campaign publicity legislation
ever passed in either branch of Con-
gress was adopted by the Senate late
yesterday, practically without a dis

basis, the Senate constructed during
the day a proposed law with the follow

No candidate for the Senate or
House shall spend in the election more
than a sum equal to 10 cents for each
voter in his dictrict or state.
No senatorial candidate shall spend
sum more than $4,000 in the pri-
mary and general election, and no can
didate for the House shall spend more
than $4,000.
Publicity must be given to all pri-
mary campaign contributions and ex-
penditures.
All general election expenses must
be made public before the election be-
ginning fifteen days before election,
and making publication each six days
until election.
All promises of political jobs must
