Major Smith Of the United States

statement to the delegation of Cairo
business men, who called on him yes-
tcrday morning, at Memphis Ths
meeting was by appointment made
from Washington last week.
Major Smith told the committee
that he would seek the power to do
the work and yesterday telegraphed
the Mississippi River Commission for
instructions. He asked the commits
sion to make an allotment to enable
him to proceed with the survey and
estimate OF the cost OF the work to
be done here.
Committee Remains.
AT the request of Major Smith, the
committee all but H. S. Antrim, James
II. Galligan and Walter Warder re-
mained in Memphis until today. He
expects to receive his instructions
this morning and, II they are favor !.
able. he probably will accompany the
committee to Cairo.
That the levees can be repaired be-
for the threatened June rise occurs
Is thought possible and the commit
tee wants to get busy at once, so that
the manufacturing interests can re-
sumo and the farmers get their
crops in.
According to the farmers, a full
crop of corn can be raised II the wa

Parsons Gets Home.
Mayor Parsons yesterday returned
from Washington where he remained
several days In the interest of the
to the Rivers and Har-

strengthening the levees. The mayor
was well pleased with the result OF
the committees visit and declared
his belief that the city will get the
money needed.
The fight is not yet won." de-
clared the mayor, in speaking Of the
work accomplished I'VE had an up
hill fight in Washington and was
surprised at our success, no small
amount of which was due to Senator
Shelby M. Cullom."
Gives CullOm Credit.
Mr.. Parsons said that the commit
tee would have accomplished little
had Senator Cullom failed to go to
the front for the pr oposition. as the
Senate committee did not seem in-
clined to allow a hearing.
The bill was reported to the Senate
Saturday and may come up at any
time.
In support of the bill, the services

Washington, d. c. March 12.-The
Democratic party in fthe House Of
Representatives has put the Beput-
trans in hole and soaped the sides
and pulled up the ladder, Their lat
est move has absolutely astounded the
Republicans and made their eyes
bulge out like buck eyes on mud
wall. This contamination devoutly
to be wished has been brought about
by the move the Democrats have made
in bringing a bill in for free sugar
and an amendment 70 the Excise Law
which will produce the same amount
of revenue cut off by free sugar. This
proposition means. Taking the tax

of anything that would be popular

There is no doubt that the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives will
speedily pass this bill for free sugar
and the Excise or Income tax, which
the Supreme court of the United
States has already passed on and de-
clared constitutional, and send it over
to a Republican Senate. | am frank
to say that | don't believe the Re-
publican Senate will pass it, and if it
does not, the people of this country
will know where to place the blame
for their failure to save $1,000 900
in taxes each year.
The Republicans in the Senate were
not only surprised and chagrined at
this sudden flank movement on the
part of the Democrats, but are already
ehy!ng at the proposition like a moon
eyed horse at black stump.
The Republicans know full we'll
what it means to them, either to fail
to pass this proposition or have a Re-
publican President to veto it if it
should be passed.
The Democrats are now sitting in
the rocking chair and will soon pass
this proposition over to a Republican
Senate where it will be their next
move.
If the people of this country don't
think that the Democrats have their
interest at heart, let them reflect upon
the above proposition and vote ac
cordingly in the next campaign.

amendment to the Excise Law, which
will taE all incomes over 100000 a
year one per cent, means that 500 1000

$lOOo0,000.00 per- annum more than
was received by the sugar tax and

manship and Champ Clark and the
leaders in the Democratic House of
representatives are responsible for
this piece of legislation that will make

The Consumer Gets the Profit.
1t is claimed by some that if this
bill becomes a law it will ruin the
sugar industries of those two states
and put nearly a half million people
out of business. In the first place
it will do no such thing. 1t will cut
down their profits, perhaps. a cent
and a half a pound on sugar, which
will go into the pockets of the con-
sumers of this country and which the
consumers of this country ought to be
pleased at.

time by Worthy Master Howes and after the
opening exercises and while the candidates for
the fifth degree were being prepared Brother
York, Worthy Master of North Waldo Pomona,
was called upon for remarks and responded
with an interesting talk. Three candidates
were then initiated into the fifth degree The
noon recess was then taken and all repaired to
the dining room, where their wants were we'll
looked after by the host grange The after
noon session was opened with music The roll

BASE BALL.
Easterns IL; Belfast, L.
IFrom the Bangor Dailv News. I

FROM Cn0 bangor OHlly NeWS.J
Belfast baseball stock took an awful drop
with the fans Saturday. when the biggest
crowd of the season went to South Brewer ex-
pecting to see game, but were disappointed.
The Belfast manager sand that times were SO
busy down there that he could muster but six
men. He filled in with three of the Tarratlne
stars. Belger. Sullivan and Higgins. There's
not much use in putting picked up team
against the Easterns. the way Hackett's
men are going just now, and it was a walk
over IL to l. for the Easterns.
The Easterns jumped on James in the first
inning. A single by Soucie. sacrifice by Par
ker, single by Lebrun, an error and two
bagger by Pendleton netted three runs James
frightened up in the second and shut out the
side and it looked as though he would hold the
turn well, but his support was something aw-
full. The infelders fell over the ball and then
threw wild and the outielders had but little
idea where ball was going, with an occasion
al exception. The Belfast battery worked
hard under discouraging conditions. The Ban
gor annex wasn't any worse than the rest.
Meanwhile Glover was pitching in good form
and didn't allow hit until the fourth when,
with one out, Cunningham landed for single
but was forced at second by Hackett. Brown
was hit and slip-up by Dunn gave James
life. With bases full, Macomber had a chance
to be hero, but he struck out.
Belfast's only run came in the sixth, when
Higgins got single stole second and scored
on a fine two-bagger by Cunningham, who
was nailed trying to stretch it to triple.
Sockaexis did great job at umpiring, the
veteran hardly missing ball, strike or base
decision for the game.
