Differs Widely in Words

speeches the President made today were much like those he delivered in Massachu- setts and Maryland. they differed widely at times in the words used to score MT. Roosevelt.
 One of the attacks on MT. Roosevelt which raised laugh delivered at Denni- son late today ran like this: q think it would be dangerous to put a man with MT. Roosevelt's present con stitutional views and with the intoxica- ltion he would neccssarilx feel by reason of get iig something thasf none of the great Presidents ever got, into the White House again.
 He says the reason the American peo- pie are going to elect him is because he is necessary for the job. Well, I hope tn, American people will not think that hs ia necessary for the job. want to call your attention to what the job is which he proposes. It is the millennium that he is going to bring about when he gets into office. All bosses are going to disappear, politicians are going to he few CT, and he is going to have finger in every community in every. state, in every county and everything is going to be heaven.
 If that be true. the millennium is com ing and that is the job he is to do It is going to take longer than four years.
 "I beg of you to ask him when he comes here whether he would take a fourth term, and why he should not continue in office during his life"
 Is He Indispensable? Another sally that brought a re- sponse was that delivered at Cam bridge Speaking there of the job MT. Roosevelt said that he wanted him to do, President Taft asked:
 Suppose MT Roosevelt were waited to the skies in chariot like the prophet of old and were to disappear from sight. how Edo you suppose this country would get along anyhow?
 My friends, it is a dangerous thing to put in the White House man for the third term with his views of the constitution and with his views of himself Tn every announcement he makes you would think he was the whole show, and that there wasn't any body else in the country It's I. l. I, and therefore I say that if you feed that vanity and that egotism by giv- ing him something that Washington did not get and Jefferson did not get and Jackson did not get and Grant could not get. you are going to put him in office with sense of power and with view of constitutional restriction that will be dangerous to this country" Roosevelt and Lincoln MT. Taft compared Roosevelt and Lincoln with a smile.
 MT. Roosevelt likens himself to Abraham Lincoln more and resembles him less than any man in the history of this county.' he remarked during the daN
 MT. Talf asked Roosevelt packers for more facts and less 'lurid headlines and Hung power.' and dubbed the campaign the former President is making against him. "accusatory and libellous." In joint appeal to the war veterans and to the negroes MT Taft charged that a constitutional system that would permit proposed measures of reform of the practical repeal of the 18th, 14th and 18th amendments for which the veterans fought and which protect the negro race, would depend upon the re suit of the one election. That was what Mir Roosevelt proposed to do, he said by destroying the independence of the judiciary.

Bartlett Fucker Clash

Representative Bartlett of Georgia voiced the opposition from the stand point of the southern representatives. He said
 "It would have been unfortunate for the gentleman from Alabama tMr. Un- derwood), the majority leader of the House, if he had make the speech which he made today a few weeks ago.
 He could go into Georgia today" shouted Representative Fucker of Mis- souri, with that speech and get big ger vote in the primaries than you gave him a short time ago"
 "I challenge him 10 do it." yelled MT. Bartlett at the top of his voice.
 Mir Fucker then walked over toward MT. Bartlett, who was sitting in the front row of seats and shaking his fist over MT. Bartletts head said:
 You voted for this same proposition in a previous Congress"
 q didn't" said MT. Bartlett
 You did insisted MT. Fucker, shout ing in Mir Bartlett's face.
 The Georgian contented himself with replying once more than he had not and turned his back on the irate Missourian.

Underwood the Exception

Majority Leader Underwood was a notable exception to his colleagues in the vote on the Bartlett amendment. He made vigorous speech against the Bartlett amendment and voted against it. He voted for the Bristow amend ment in the final show down.
 MT Underwood took the position that, while he was really in favor of the Bartlett amendment, it was well known that the Senate would never agree to the change in the constitution if the Bartlett amendment should be insisted upon. He intimated that he did not fear the federal government would even try to force the southern states again to permit the negroes to vote. The omission of the Bartlett amendment could do no real harm, he said. Rep resentative Henry of Texas, chairman of the rules committee, took the same view of 1t.

2 .ADER UNDERWOOD ' ACCEPTS INEVITABLE
Does Not Side With Other Southern Representatives - Bartlett and Fucker Have Spirited Clash
 Over Georgia Primary

Washington, May 13.-- Special )- Despite the fierce opposition Of south ern representatives. the House this aft ernoon accepted the Brlstow amend ment to the popular election of sena- tors resolution by a vote of 2S7 to S9. The announcement. of the result was greeted by cheers on both sides of the House.
 Both houses of Congress have now approved this Fundamental change in the organic law by the requisite two thirds majorities, and if the amendment Is ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states. 1t will become amendment No. 1e.
 Passed Resolution Four Times
 Since the first resolution for the di- rect election of senators was introduced In 1928, the House has five times passed such resolution, but the Senate has mover yet come to terms with the House. On February 2s, 1911, the House reso- lution failed by four votes in the Sen ate. 1t contained as reported from the Senate judiciary committee the objec- tionab1e Sutherland amendment or Bristow amendment as it later became known, which some southern congress- men feared would open the way for in- terference by Congress with the elec- ton laws of southern states.
 The first paragraph of section 4 of article 1 of the constitution now reads
 "The times, places. and manner of holding elections for senators and rep resentatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislatures thereof; but the Congress may at any time make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing senator's"
 It was pointed out that the second sentence above quoted would permit Congress to exercise power in an elec- tion where all the electors of a state voted, which would be radically differ ent from that now exercised where the legislature only elects. Such power might lead to United States marshals or federal troops being stationed at the polls, 1t was urged by Senator Bacon. The inpossibility of Congress canvass- ing the entire vote of state was dwelt upon. and the conclusion was drawn that thiS would lead to th.s snttieinent of contested elections Tn favor of whsch- ever party was in control of the Con- gross.
 Representative Charles L. Bartlett of Georgia offered an amendment express ly providing that Congress should have no power to interfere with the cleo tion or franchise laws of any state, hav- ing in view the disfranchisement laws of southern states.

left by the railroads From 1899 to lSO4, as everybody knows, was period of almost constant business expansion, while between 1904 and 1909 occurred the liveliest panic the country has ever known.
 A recent report by the census bureau, however, shows that. notwithstanding the panic, manufactures increased much more from 1904 to 1909 than from 1899 to 1904. In the earlier periods the gain in value of products was three and a third billion dollars; in the later it was nearly six billion. The number of wage earners employed increased in the first period by seven hundred thousand: in the second, by one million one hundred thousand. The two periods may be lilk ened to pair of runners, one of whom stubs his toe and falls headlong into a barbed wire fence, yet wins the race by half a mile. To compare the mass and velocity of business in the United States at present with any former time induces dizziness. From 1899 to 1909 the value of manufactured products increased from eleven billion dollars to twenty billion; and this increase of nine billion in ten years is much more than the to- tai output of our factories at any cen sus period before 1899
 Of course in 1899--or in S99 for that matter many excellent persons thought the limit had been reached; but in 1912 business is still in its infancy-only beginning to move

MISTAKES
A Crab Is Ca Little Red Fish That
 Walks Backward

From the New York Herald.
 The popular idea Is that dictionary makers are about as infallible as malk- CTS of literature can be, and yet from the earliest times the mistakes of the photographers have furnished amuse- ment.
 When the forty immortals were en- gagged in making a dictionary of the French academy, the word "crab' came up for a gloss; they were about to agree to define it as "a little red fish that walks backward" when F'uretiere pointed out that it was no doubt a good definition save for the fact that the an imal is not fish, 1t is not red until af- ter it is boiled, and it does not walk backward.
 Bailey's dictionary defined the loriot, or golden oriole as "a bird that, being looked upon by a person who has the yellow jaundice, cures the person and dies itself" Fenning, who was the next dictionary maker. was afraid of this and merely said. 'Loriot, a kind of bird"
 But one of the best bits of informa- ton was given in the dictionary of Ed-

The New York World, conceded by Journalists everywhere as one of the most independent. fearless newspapers devoted to the public welfare, publish ed an article of interest to women about depilatories. While 1t com mends very highly a well known de- pflatory, it also points out the imposi- tfon practiced by interruptions man. ufacturers of so-called superfluous hair cures" It is reprinted in part Read it:
 "TJnscrupulous manufacturers have played on her faith and ignorance and have made their fortunes decade after decade by publishing erroneous state ments and unfounded claims concern ing the alleged efficacy or their meth ods or agencies to eradicate unneces- sary hair. The vital importance of having the treatment non poisonous, antiseptic and germicida1 was not rec ognized. The fakes put on the market In the last ten years have numbered their victims by the hundreds of thou sands. Empty promises have been made by scores of promoters in the wild scramble to get the money. The marvel Is that woman has not become so thoroughly disgusted as to reject all treatments for good.
 But her hope for a remedy was not in vain, only a few years
 
 treatment was brought forth and 1t proved to be a revelation in modern science. A representative of the New York World investigated the discovery and the methods by which it was fn- troduced to the public. He found ex- haustive tests have shown 1t to be the long desired, practical, expeditions and safe way in which to destroy the growth of hair. Those who put it be- fore the public knew the fallacy and dishonesty of publishing extrayagant claims. They did not resort to any catch schemes, such as making a pros pective customer special offer of personal interest," They started in to win the confidence of those interested, and in this way they have been em- inently successful.
 The news of It's remarkable qual- tiles spread rapidly. It is now known and widely used from coast to coast and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. What is more to the point, 1t has been indorsed by prominent phy- sicians. representative medical jour- nals and leading magazines devoted to woman's cause. There Is too much at stake to risk such Inducements If they are not true to the letter. Only the result of repeated chemical expert ments and a thorough knowledge of the origin of all hair growth could stand against the investigation of such authorities. The DeMiracle Chemical Company is open and above board in every detail. The inducements are not just claimed. A little probing on the part of the PAPER disclosed the fact that they are published and sent broad cast, with the identity and address of the writer or publication added This is the stumbling block of all so-called remedies. reputable member of the medical profession or a publication in good standing could never afford to be identified with anything that savers of fake, and a voluntary praise given through these channels is not to be
