DEMOCRATS FORCE BACK
ON SENATE THREE BILLS
These Were the Sugar Tariff and
Wool Tariff Bills and Excise
Tax Bill.
House Minority Leader Mann
Took Sharp Exception to Floor
Leader Underwood.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., July 30
With machine-like precision, the Dem
ocratic House to-day forced over all
opposition three tariff measures back
upon the Senate. They were the wool
and sugar tariff revision bills and tho
excise tax bill. and all were sent back
with none of the Senate's amend
ments accepted.
On the wool bill no conference was
asked. The House left Il fatty to
the Senate whether that branch de-
sired 10 pursue the legislation fur
ther.
The Senate tonight was in a quan-
dary as TO the program IL would adopt
in further consideration OF the three
bills. The regular Republicans were
reported TO be favorable to a plan
whereby they would absent them
selves from the chamber, thus giving
the Democrats a chance to pass the
measures and send them along for the
Presidents veto. The Republican
insurgents" however, opposed this
scheme and insisted that the differ
ences. where they are reconcilahle, be
threshed out in conference.
Senate Democrats enjoying the Re-
publican disagreement. will seek to
take advantage of II. Some concerted
plan OF action probably will be adopt
ed tomorrow morning. when the SEN
ate Democrats caucus on the wool
measure. II is admitted that the
whole tariff program will be discussed.
Wool Tariff Revision.
The wool tariff revision was the
first taken up in the house. There
was virtually no debate except a state
ment by Majority Leader Underwood
and a short reply by Representative
Payne. OF New York, ranking minor.
ity member on the ways and means
committee. Motions by Mr. Payne
and Representative Crumpacker. of
Indiana, to concur In the senate
amendments were voted down, 15s to
rs and 172 to So. The last named
vote automatically rejected the senate
I changes.
Mr.. Underwood next called up the
excise tax measure. which he des-
crfbed was. until amended, the great
est piece of remedial legislation for
the benefit of the masses OF the people
that had been enacted in a quarter
, OF a century.
He charged the senate with having
sought TO kill the measure by tacking
on amendments. the repeal OF Cana
dian reciprocity and a provision for
the continuation of the tariff board.
Mann Takes Exception.
Minority Leader Mann took sharp ex-
ception TO Mr.. Underwood He de-
clared that Underwood was "Quibbl-

There is story Of tender

thought to help by breaking the

winged creature loose; but the
butterfly, thus released. was too
weak to lift itself. too undeveloped
to care for itself. and died before
it's rescuer's eyes. 1t needed the
battle.
Beginnings ought to be hard;
the people whose beginnings are
made easy for them are the handi-
capped. Attainment. achieve
ment, fultilment cannot be made
easy-and beginnings should not
be. Patience, determination. thor
oughness come hard to those who
have never known hard begin
nings. The bright pupil who
learns his lessons without special
effort usually receives a poorer
preparation for life than any other
boy in the class.

in the average rural school house
are $50 unattractive that more
than two-thirds Of the 100000
pupils in the country districts fail
to reach satisfactory standing in
their studies. Now comes the see
retary of the United States Civil
Service Commission at Chicago,
with the statement that graduates
Of country schools are preferred in
the Federal service over those who
have been educated IN the city. At
the last examination he conducted.
tWo-thirds Of the graduates OF
Chicago grammar schools failed,
while graduates of schools in OBJ

which educators themselves. those
who have criticized the country

UNDESIRABLE PLANT SEED

For some reason not explained
the farmers Of this country have
failed to raise grass seed enough to
supply the demand, and great guam
titles have been imported, some
from abroad. This is bad enough
in itself. but what is worse is the
fact that. according to eXa1nina-
tions conducted by the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington, about
half Of the alleged grass seed that
is brought III from other countries
is nothing but weeds, while the Vi
taIitv of the genuine grass contain
ed there is so low that much of it
does not germinate.
Most farmers grow all the weeds
they want without importing seeds
that. if they grow at all. will merely
infest the soil. The agricultural
department has figured out that
though this seed is brought in at d
cost ranging from about $3.50 tc
$17 per one hundred pounds-ac-
cording to variety--the actual cost
when the contents of weeds and low
terminating vitality is taken into
account. is from $35 to $112 ont
hundred pounds. This being true
the sale of such seed is nothing les
than fraud.

Poison Ivy Harms No One Save IN
Self Defence

| have come across such well.

that | hasten to pass it on to other
woods lovers who live in dread Of
contact with poisonous vines.
DR.. S. G. Schumacher, the recog-
nized authority on woodslore and
nature work Of this part of the
country, states that there are only
two plants in the eastern United
States which are poisonous to a
sensitive skin. These are the poi
son ivy and the swamp sumac.
When the varieties are limited to
two it becomes an easy matter to
be thoroughly familiar with the
two mentioned plants and make
point OF letting them entirely
alone.
There is only one other plant
which one is likely to confuse with
the poison ivy, of which we wish
to beware. refer to the pretty
and harmless Virginia creeper
which is easily distinguished after
all since its leaves have five leaf
let's each instead of the three of
the poison vine.
We find the poison ivy, which
i possesses an attractive daintiness,
running over the fence posts, tele-
graph poles, etc, everywhere. It
, has developed a system of econ
omy whereby it's greatest strength
, can go to the leaves, and very lit
