Dies, of Texas, Also Attacks the
| Sherwood BiIl-Sum of $4,000 900
Involved.
Washington, Dec. 9-Representa-
tives Samuel J. Tribble, of Georgia,
and Martin Dies, of Texas, both dem
ccrats, vigorously attacked the Sher-
wood service pension bill in the house
today. Mr.. Dies denounced the bill
as IAN attempted campaign contribu-
ton of nearly $50000,000 He declar-
ed there was cowardice in both par
ties, as advocates of the measure
feared to vote against the bill because
of the possible effect on election. Mr..
Tribble said the south had contribut-
ed to union soldiers pensions without
protest in the past, but that the time
had come for all sections of the
country to object to further in
kcreases.
Democratic house cut its expenses
$186, 000," said Mr.. Tribble, "and now
proposes an act to add nearly $780,
100000 to the pension rolls"
Both speakers protested against
giving the veterans of the civil war
more than they had asked for,

many cowardly statesmen would
do the public good" said Mr.. Dies.
He told members to go back to their
districts and tell their constituents
that legislation is game of bum
comb"
Somebody has got to be Drove enough
to risk his hide to stop some of the
nefarikous legislation that is being
passed in this country" he added.
IF President Taft is the man, and
he decides to veto the Sherwood bill, |
I say more strength to his arm"

OctOgenarian Raises Two Bales on
One Acre.

Athens, Ca, Dec. 9.-Dock, Giles,
today, was in Athens to sell bale of
cotton. The bale is one Of two which
Mr.. Giles raised on one acre Of land
in Princeton district of Clarke county.
Mr.. Giles is few months over 80
years of age. He made the two bales
on one acre without any help what
ever. The cultivation was done by the
octogenarian with his own hands and
with an ordinary chopping hoe. Mr..
Giles, though living in sight of the
State College of Agriculture, has no
scientific training in farming. He
says that with such training there is
no telling how much an intelligent
farmer may make on small piece of
land.

To, Force the Harvester Combine to
Pay More Taxes.

Washington, Dec. 9.-That he had
been offered $4,000 to halt his cam
paign aimed at forcing the Interna-
al Harvester Company to pay more
taxes was the declaration OF Maxwell
Edger, a Chicago attorney, before the
Lorimer investigating committee to-
day. He said the offer was made by
q Chicago lawyer named Tone, who
claimed to represent Clarence OAR
row and Counsel Bancroft, of the
company.
The fight eliminated, said Edger, In
an increase Of taxes on the McCor-
mick family's international Harvester
stock and payment Of back taxes.
There was dispute over admissi-
bility Of the evidence. Counsel for
Lorimer declared the tax fight had
been charged indirectly to Lorimer by
principal owners of the Harvester
Company, and that had been made
the basis Of charges against Lori
mer. 1t was not determined whether
to admit Edgar's statement,

TWO CLASSES OF KNOCKERS.

There are two classes of people who
are hurting Florida. One is the
people who come here for few days
and won't believe what their eyes
see and then go away and say that
this garden spot OF the world is a
barren waste and unfit for asricul-
tural purposes and as place of resi-
dence. The other is the indolent,
worthless and pessimistic man who
comes to Florida and after investing

he finds the lands won't produce
crops worth $1,000 an acre without
being properly cultivated.
There are plenty of veritable gold

WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN KANSAS.

In Kansas though the women can
not vote at State and county cleo
tons, they can do lot of things
women not SO fortunately situated
cannot do. a Kansas woman can, II
she wants to, keep her own name
when she gets married or she can keep
her maiden name for business and
use her husbands name for society
and domestic purposes. She can
wear trousers if she likes and cannot
be reprimended for it. except by
those who have that right--and that
does not include the general pub
lie nor the officers of the law. More
over, Kansas woman. though she
cannot vote except at certain kinds
of elections. she can hold any Office
in the State or any county Office If
she can get the votes. There is no
law that prevents a woman from
being governor of Kansas if she can
get enough people to vote for her
or secretary of State, or attorney gen.
eral. or from holding any other State
or county office. II she wants to be
county attorney she must be law
yer. but her sex MAKES no difference.
Votes are the only things that count.
