Three cornersd Wool Fight.

The United States Senate now has
three wool revision bills before it. the
bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the bill offered by Senator
LaFollette of Wisconsin, and the bill
introduced, Wednesday, by Senator
Smoot of Utah. Thus We see each
political faction in possession of a
wool revision bill which it is likely to
advocate in the next session of Con-
gress.
More or less surprise was created on
Wednesday when the regulars
through the Utah senator, introduced
a bill of their own. Henceforward, il
would seem there is to be three cor
nered fight on this article of COM
merce.
One Washington writer, who is a
keen analyst of the political situation
says that Democratic leaders in the
House are closely watching develop
ments in the Senate, as the time APP
proaches for action on legislation
initiated in the lower branch. Then
expressed position is that Senator
LaFoilette's wool bill is not likely tc
be tackled 10 the farmers free list bill
as rider. and that the Senate Demo
Gratis will keep the bills separated
The House leaders say they feel thai
after the LaFoliette bill has been vot-
ed down in the Senate the Republican

The State Auditors "News."

The State Auditors News"
Some of the Democratic dispensers
of dssieeated political capital have 8
real grievance-the Kennebec Journa
is "suppressing" the news. For IN
stance. the State Auditor very proper
ly, has presented monthly, clear and
convincing exhibits of the state
financial condition" they say
For instance once more, State Audi
tor Stevens, once month, for politi-
cal capital and effect, gives out re-
hash of the Democratic campaign cry
financial conditions. In addition to
the statement of conditions at the end
~ each month. which the Journal Is
ready and glad to publish, the State
suditor works in that dolorous wall OF
taxtrayaganee" and the relief the
Democrats have given with revenue
nrovided by the last Republican ad-
ministration.)
Another for instance" is that State
Auditor Stevens "suppresses" part
of the news 10 which the public is en-
titled. he does not weave into his
monthly campaign document prepared
at State expense. and blandly handed
out for the Republican press to eireu-
late in all its misleading splendor, The
source of the revenue which the pres
ent administration has and the pre-
eeding administration had not.
The Kennebee journal publishes
from month to month the statement
of the auditor, so far as II covers con-
ditions-the difference in the stand
ing from that of the preceding month.
The re-serving of the Democratic
campaign dish; the platterful which
was handed out vieariously where
constructive business was not, in the
18th Legislature; the choice morsei
which rolled so sweetly over me
tongue of the Royal Presence, in the
parting stuffing of the Solons for
home mastication-has cloyed the sp-
petite of Kennehec Journal readers
we believe.
The much aggrieved organs o.
Wish. Want, Desire. and the Secretary
of State, should have this campaign
cry set to music for the bag pipes
and turn it over to the Waterville
expert. Why not have the moving
picture people and the hurdy gurdies
take it. up; it would amuse the dom
key.
BY all means keep the information
before the public that the present adj
ministration is paying expenses, but
do not let the people know how much
more the present administration viii
have to draw from, provided by it,
predecessor, than it will leave for 1t:
Republican successor
State Auditor Stevens cooks up
dish highly favored with the essene,
of Democracy and calls it part o
his statement which the public desires
AS for us we are sick of the dish; it /
out of season and never very nourish

of our readers are sick of it, too. l

Among all the good Maine people,
who study their Bibles diligently, there
is probably none who hold the distinc-
ton attributed TO Charles A. Haines,
who lives near Monmouth, now 81
years old, yet his memory still retains
a very clear knowledge of the Bible,
and he can repeat passage after pass
age without missing a word. He is
able to recite no fewer then so of the
Psalms word for word, and his gem
eral knowledge about the Bible is also
very extensive.

Talk of the creation Of an appellate
court for Maine is being revived
among the lawyers. Although the
matter of details could safely be lett
to the Legislature, il has been sas-
gested that the court at first shouio
consist of three members, one Oh
whom should be the chief justice. Ihe
salaries would be approximately the
same as those of our supreme court
justices and clerk or recorder Woulo
also have 10 be appointed. A diner
ence of opinion seems to exist as TO
whether an appellate court shonlo
hold all of its sessions al Augusta, or
whether il should meet once each year
in Portland, Augusta and Bangor, as Is
the case with the law court at present.

DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED
Idea That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance Of
Room.

Brass beds look charming and at
tractive and often brighten an other
wise dark bedroom, but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has a high head and footboard to pro-
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de-
vised a scheme which not only cor
rected this defect, but also added a
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat were
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the sur.
face. She bought more of this mate.
rial and made covers that slipped
easily i've the brass rods at the
head and foot Of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material. A frill was also
fastened around the mattress, which
showed beneath the bedspread.
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
but were also useful in protecting the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
the daily wear and tear of a much
used room.
They were made to be removed
easily IL required for special coca.
