VEST POCKET ESSAYS
POCKETS ,, Ey GEORGE e, G1IcH Fl,

Pockets is a subject which does not
interest woman in the least, except oc-
casionaIly very late at night. But pockets
are a part of every mans equipment,
and without them, he is so lost and mis-
cradle that 1t is doubtful whether men
angels, equipped with pocketless robes
and with nothing to put in their pockets,
II they had them, are at all happy and
comfortable for the first few million
years OF their higher existence.
A man begins to use pockets when
he is a very small boy. At first he
has only two pants pockets and one in
his shirt In these he is only able to
carry a few necessities, such as a hand
kerchief, some marbles, a pocketkaife,
an apple core, some secondhand gum,
a dried grasshopper. an old railroad
spike, some gold-bearing rock picked up
on the street, a retired front tooth. a
small collection OF beetles, some colored
glass, hook and line. and an old worn
out electric light globe or two
AS the boy grows up. he gradually
accumulates pockets until when he is a
man he has from to thirteen to seven
teen, ali in active use. A man makes
lots Of fun Of a boy, because of the junk
he carries in his pockets. Yet, II you
turn the average man upside down. and
shake him over a bushel basket, you will
very likely get the following results:
A watch, a peck of keys on a ring a
knife. a few manicure TOOLS an electric
cigar lighter. an automatic cigar clipper.
patent toothpick. cigar case. ciga-
rette case, a small bottle OF nerve re-
storer. a pocket drinking cup. a billboolk.
a check book, a psssbook. a note book.

OF three letters with unspoiled stamps
and addressed IN feminine hand, hand
kerchiefs in various stages of ruin, an

cellany.
Women do not use pockets, but carry
as many conveniences as this in a hand

PLAN TO PROTECT
COTTON GROWERS
Would Require New York Exchange
to Deliver Grade Of Cotton It
Sells on Future Contracts.

Senator Hoke Smith and Representa-
tive Bartlett, Of Georgia. are working
on what they believe to be an original
and brand-new plan for helping the cot
ton farmers of the South through the
regulation OF the New York Cotton Ex-
change. They propose TO press legisla-
tion to require the New York Cotton
Exchange to deliver the same grade Of
cotton that Is sold on future contracts
in the exchange.
The Georgians believe that Congress
has the power to enact legislation deny
ing to the cotton exchange and its mem
bers the use Of the United States mails
II they persist in selling one grade and
supplying another grade Of cotton.
Moreover, they believe II possible for
Congress to enact legislation that will
also deny them the use OF the telegraph
wires for the transmission Of their busi-
ness.
Senator Smith and Representative
Bartlett believe that the price OF cot
ton would be increased approximately
/ cent a pound II the New York Cotton
Exchange could be made TO deliver the
same quality Of cotton that II sells on
future contracts. Under the present
plan of operation It is claimed the ex-
change arbitrarily delivers. under its
contract, what is known as dog tain
cotton on all its 1tracts, making an
allowance of $50 per bale for the diff
ference between the quality of this
dog tall and the cotton actually
bought.
II the exchange were required TO de-
liver the quality Of cotton It sells, II Is
the belief of the Georgians that they
would necessarily have TO have a sum-
Client quantity of first-class cotton to

POWER PRESS BILL
SENT TO SENATE
smOOt Measure Kas Net with United
Opposition from Union Labor.
An Economy Measure.

Senator Smoot. Of Utah, yesterday
reported to the Senate from the Com
tee on Printing a bill to revise and
codify the laws relating to public print
Ing and binding for the government,
and the distribution OF government
documents. A similar measure will be
favorably reported to the House by its
Committee on Printing. The bill pro-
poses to install power presses for hand
presses In the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, where the paper money
OF the government and the national
bank notes are printed. It is said that
this change will net the government
saving Of $780, 900 year.
The labor organizations of the coun-
try have protested against the install
lation of power presses in the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing. II has
been their contention that the change
would be conducive to counterfeiting.
The Senate Committee on Printing ac-
cepted the accommodation of a joint
committee OF the two Houses of Con-
Eress on this question, and disregarded
the protests of the labor organizations.
A feature OF the bill is the scheme
for changing the system for the distri-
button of documents to Senators and
members Of the House of Representa-
tives. Under the present plan each
Senator and Representative is allotted
a certain number OF each document
printed by the government. The new
plan proposes to allow each Senator a
document account of $4,000, and each
Representative a similar account of
$500. 1t will be possible for either
a Senator or Representative to invest
his entire allowance in any given doc
ument that he may desire. Thus, the
Senators and Representatives from
manufacturing communities will not
be charged with farmers bulletins, and
members from farming communities
viii not not be charged with manufac-
turing and industrial bulletins.

POLL ON TREATIES
INDICATES PASSAGE
But Arbitration Pacts viii Be
Amended to No Small Ex-
tent in the Senate.

The general arbitration treaties were
before the Senate again yesterday for
about an hour. Senator Isidor Rayner,
OF Maryland. a Democratic member Of
the Foreign Relations Committee. ad-
dressed the Senate. At the conclusion OF
HIS speech. which proceeded without in
terruption, the Senate. which had been
in open executive session, returned TO
legislative session. and shortly thereafter
adjourned. Senator McCumber. OF North
Dakota, a Republican member OF the
Foreign Relations Committee, gave no.
tice that he would address the Senate at
an early day.
A quiet canvass was made Of the SEN
ate by friends OF the treaties yester-
day Senator Burton. of Ohio, who sup
ported the treaties in the original form
in which they were sent TO the Senate
and signed a minority report In favor
Of their ratification without amend
ment. expressed confidence after the close
OF the session that the Necessary two
thirds vote would be secured for their
ratification.
There are number OF doubtful sena-
tors, who appear to be studying the
question, and there is much uncertainty
in the minds Of some members Of the
Senate as to the scope Of the treaties
The friends OF ratification believe they
can see sixty votes already In sight. and
this is a safe number in their estima-
ton.
OF course, the sixty votes claimed COM
prise the Senators who favor the ratifi-
cation with amendment. II is already
certain that the treaties cannot go
through unamenled. Democratic mem
bers Of the Foreign Relations Committee
other than Senator Rayner, who Is in
favor OF ratification in the form in which
the treaties were negotiated and sent to
the Senate, believe that II the treaties
are ratified Il will be after they have
been so thoroughly amended that their
character WILL ha -ror,,nlafaty changed
