posing ceremonies marked the laying
of the cornerstone today of the pro

insult by the English. Vehement pro-
tests were made by the English-speak-

FARM WELFARE AND
HUMAN WELFARE.

Sixty-two railroad trains, operated
by officers of experiment stations of
the Department of Agriculture, trav.
eled over $4,000 miles during 1911.
Public meetings held by these officers
were attended by nearly 100000 per-
sons. Travelling schools to the num-
Der of 149 were attended by 10000
farmers and farmers boys. Farmers
institutes held $4,000 sessions, attend
ell by 100000 people. These inter-
esting facts and many more appear in
the annual report of the director of
this department to Secretary Wilson,
recently made public. A summary of
this report appears in current news
paper, and, by peculiar coincidence,
in the adjoining column is sum-
mary of the mortality report of the
Census Bureau for 1870 issued about
the same time. From this it appears,
comments The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, that in the

ed $1,000 persons in 1910, that $685.
4l2 persons died in the same terri

year, to say nothing of running spe-
clal trains and holding public meet

how to live.

 Congressman He1in spoke for two hours

 somewhat the effects of his itinerary, tne Alabamian had his audience with him from the start to finish. It was respon- siye to every one of his rounded periods and his ability as raconteur delighted his hearers.
 His address was scorching arraign- ment v of the republican party and the protective tariff. He offered Underwood as A man who had won the confidence or the entire country. His utterances were cbeered to the echo. The growth of Un- derwood sentiment in this section of the state has been swift and the prospects, are brighter than ever before for an un-
 instructed delegation to be sent to Balti-
 more instead of one instructed for Wilson,
 as has heretofore appeared most likely.

 The article then goes on for half a column or so to praise MT Smith in directly and to indicate that he would have good chance of election.
 Back of it all is unquestionably the desire to get even with Congressman Howard, if possible, because he would not support Wilson for President at the dictation of the Hoke Smith faction
 Congressman Howard is quite pop ular throughout the district and has become more so since he has been in Congress- There is no question that ii would take a strong man and some good hard work to unseat him.

SCHEME ID PASS
 UNDERWOOD BILLS
Stalwart Republicans Pro-
 pose to Be Absent
THEN TAFT MUST VETO
Progressives Are Seeking to Con- vince Regulars That More Netoes to Be Explained Will Hurt
 Republican Party

Washington. May fs.-tspecial)--A
 scheme by which the democrats of the Senate can pass the Underwood bills
 has been privately suggested to dem ocratic leaders by the stalwart repuo '
 licans. They propose that such num-
 Der will absent themselves when the
 vote is taken as will enable the dem-
 ocrats to outvote the progressive re-
 publicans and pass their bill.
 1 The result of such absenteeism will be to put up to President Taft tariff | bills which will give him another bunch of vetoes affecting the high cost of living to explain in the approaching campaign.
 The regulars figure that the President would find it less difficult explaining to republican audiences veto of the tariff for revenue bills of the democrats than quasi protective bills such as a combination of democrats and progress
 sives would put up to him The progress sive republicans are now seeking to convince the regulars that regardless of who is nominated ii will be bad
 politics for the party to have more ve- toes to explain.
 democratic caucus has been called for tomorrow night by Senator Sively of Indiana in the absence of Sen Mar tin of Virginia. At this caucus a tariff programme will be agreed upon. The present disposition of democratic sen ators is to demand a vote on every
 one of the tariff bills sent over from
 the House. When the bills now pend ing are acted upon they anticipate that the House will frame a bill revising fhe cotton schedule.
 Senator Hepburn of Idaho advanced
 the prize argument for foolishness at a meeting of the Senate finance com
 mittee today. He suggested that all
 tariff bills be postponed until after the
 Chicago convention. "The last repub- lican national convention pledged a re- vision of the tariff, said MT. Hepburn. That has been done and I think we
 should await a further expression from a national gathering of the party before proceeding further"
 The republicans are finding great difficulty in agreeing on wool bill. Senator Shoot has been carrying around in his pocket for several days Ia proposed bill to revise schedule K.
 which he and Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island agreed upon. but he cannot se-
 cure the united support, even of the standpatters, to his compromise bill.
