round his manly waist with her two
chubby arms.
"Oh. let's go to Fairyland!" It was

suggestion. She had heard 80 much

Georges Carpenter. who won the

jority side"
To my own mind the exposition OF
the Democratic position on the tariff
given by the majority leader is about
the most lucid and convincing that has
appeared. He claims that a tariff for
revenue is the only truly competitive
tariff since under It the duties will
naturally be placed at the highest point
possible at which importations will still
come In. Yet that would approximate
ly be at a point that would equalize
cost Of production at home and abroad

Underwood that he Is the only man In
the American congress who could be

The previous record at six feet five
