instrumentalities of diplomacy"
Thereupon was preeipitated a long
and animated argument. 1t became ap-
parent early that dollar diplomacy was
strongly In control of the committee,
but Senator Smith stood his ground and
argued against them all.
La Toilette Condemns.
More than that, the Michigan man in
timated strongly that he would carry It
quite beyond the committee room.
When the vote came the treaty was re-
ported by a large majority, although
Senators Smith and Bacon voted In the
negative.
Senator La Toilette has been vigor-
ously condemning the Honduran treaty
In his magazine. and It was reported to-
day that all the recognized insurgents
are opposed TO II, as well as a number
of others who are either near-insurgents
or regulars.
Senators who have been devoting con-
siderable attention to the matter de-
clared this afternoon that the treaty
was not likely to be brought up In the
Senate for some time, and that In the
meantime a poll is being made which In
dicates that a considerable Democratic
opposition will be mustered.

In the discussions of the subject which

whole policy of using the influence OF
the United States to secure American
financiers a financial foothold in foreign
countries will be handled without

A speciality will be made Of the efforts
OF our State Department to secure for
American capital by participation in the
construction Of the Chinese railroad.
1t will be charged, among other
things, that dollar diplomacy in the Far
East has had unfortunate results: that
our trade there has been decreasing.
and that complications in our interna-
tional relations have resulted.
Making Political Capital.
As to Latin-America, 1t Is being
urged that prejudice is being aroused
against the United States because Of
the feeling that this country is trying
to exploit the Latin American repub-
lies.

WEEVIL STORY
Bryan Offered a Bride Of
Million Dollars

Omaha, Neb., March 3.-William J.
Bryan was offered a bride of $1000,0 900
for his vote while member of CON
gress, according to a story in the Omd-
ha World-Herald The offer was made
while Mr.. Bryan was member of
congress during Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration. At that time he was one Of
the committee on ways and means.
The bride was that Mr. Bryan should
not bring in a minority report of the
bill to issue $15O,OOO,OOO of bonds pay
able in gold, principal and interest,"
The article gives no intimation as to
whom the bride offer came from. The
article came secondhand to the
World-Herald, and is credited to a for
mer banker of Lincoln, Nebr., who has
since died In substance the story
follows:
The banker, while in Washington,
visiting j. Sterling Morton, then sec.
rotary of agriculture and Mr.. Bryan,
was approached by two men whose
names are not given, and was offered
100000 if he would obtain Mr. Bry-
ans consent to kill the minority re-
port on the bill, which was then peni-
ing.
He was authorized to offer Bryan
81 100000 for his services If Bryan
refused, but would agree to absent
himself when the bill came up for d.
bate Bryan was to receive $4,000 The
banker refused but later say the same
two men talking with Bryan. Two
hours later Bryan told the banker
that he had been offered bride of a
million dollars and had been refus-
ed.
They offered me a bribe of a mil
lion dollars not to bring in a minor
ity report on that gold bond issue.

them and tell them there is not enough
money in Wall street to buy me-" SAID
Bryan. Il have no love for the money
itself. My salary supplies my very sim
pie wants. don't know what | would
do with the money; it is not a tempta-
ton to me that it would be to many
men, and deserve no credit for r.
fusing it."
Mr. Bryan cannot be reached to-

London, England, March 3.-Sir Will

time in his official career has been
subjected to grave rebuke in parlia-
ment for the indecency Of his political
partisanship displayed on the bench of
the Supreme court-Premier Asquich

day in the house of commons that the
government intended carefully TO con-
slider the best way Of dealing with

the British judiciary-is man Of most
unfortunate temperament, of the most
inconceivable indiscretion of speech,
wholly lacking in the sense of humor
and inordinately and foolishly vain.
Judges, no matter to what political
party they owe their appointment

England as the members OF the Su-
preme court of the United States for
their absence of party spirit. In fact,
so unblemished is the reputation OF
the English Supreme court judges IL
This respec, that with the sanction Of
parliament, and with the approval Of
the people, they are intrusted with the
duty of determining without the as
sistance of juries, questions of cleo

lative elections.
Reckless Speech From Bench.

has shown pronounced political bias

Yarmouth. There is nothing his eyre
gious vanity and his recklessness Of
speech does not lead him to talk about
when holding court, from unfriendly
remarks concerning the physical ana
even the intellectual condition of his
colleagues on the bench, to his inquiry
of husband who in the witness box
was testifying to the disobedience OF
his wife:
why on earth didn't you box her

Why are we two, whom seem so near

Nor hands that yainly crave,

Nor glamour in its grave,

And share the common strife.

Proposition 10 Simple and Takes Int
Account Four Thlnps-All the
Work implies Water.

Tho dry farming proposition Is at
bottom very simple. 1t takes account
of four things.
Get Deep Water Reservoir.-To
get this. pillow deep, or put subsoil
pillow after the stubble pillow.
Make q Firm Seed Bed.-To secure
this use some system Of packing tho
soil, preferably the sub-surface pack
er. This provides the grain with the
best opportunity for termination.
Keep Dust Mulch.-This is the
cork that bottles up the water held in
the reservoir, and that Is given to
the plant through the medium of a
well-prepared seed bed.
Get Plenty of Rain.-Dry farming
enthusiasts frequently forget to men
ton this item, but it really is impor-
tant. Dry land produces nothing. All
the work done implies water. Get
water. or fail!
This is the dry farming gospel In
nutshell. The rest is amplification
There can be no hard and fast rules
laid down, cropping systems differ
and in order to meet the conditions
above laid down, methods must differ
locally. Which leads to the final re-
mark that when man Is betting his
time and that of his family against q
new country and limited rainfall, he
neds a whole lot of common sense
or an inordinate amount of luck
