''Pork Barrel" Bill
 Fight In Senate
Rv AesocIated Press.l

Hartford, May 21-F1ghting against odds and what he called "frame-up of Senators interested in a pork bar rel bilI'', Senator McDonough, the Democratic leader, today did his best to defeat the armory appropriation bill which carries a total of half a million dollars for armories or arnfory sites in Waterbury, New Haven, Bris- tol. Manchester. Adiddletown and West Hartford, and failed. He declared against the principle of a blanket bill calling 1t vicious and pernicious", and said that the people of the State had ns chance of fair play against a '.frameup'' in the Senate for the bill.
 Mfr. AIcDonough cut loose with crit1- cism of those who were opposing him and also the military and approprta- sions committee. He spoke often on the matter but the Manchester and Waterbury sections of the bill were carried after a two hours debate. At times the parliamentary sitution was in bad tang1e.
 It was said that friction over the sudreship contest was redected in the fight over the aru1Ories.

NEXT in Importance to the tariff
comes the subject of currency legisla-
tiOn. The banking and currency
committees of the house and senate
have about completed a bill which
meets the approval of President Will
son and this bill will likely become a
law before the present session of Con-
gress adjourns.
The main feature of the bill will be
a provision insuring the elasticity of
the currency, so that when we are
moving our ten billion dollar crops
from the field to the market it vii.
not be such drain on the finances of
the country as to seriously effect the
prosperity of other branches of in
dustry or to threaten a panic as they
sometimes do. Our present laws re-
lating to finance are exceedingly
antiquated and very inelastic. There
should never be any shortage of
money with which to carry on the
business of the country and to further
new enterprises.

HAD HIS OWN IDEA OF ART

says Lippincott's. In an effort to cul.
tivate his Esthetic Tastes, she took
him abroad and dragged him through
the great Art Galleries, where he EN-
barrassed her by evincing a desire to
pause before pictures such as "The
Temptation of Aunt Sainthony," at
which she wouldn't look except when
there wasn't anybody around.
Being of an Emotional Nature, and
fond of Good Cry, the wife used to
stop and weep before all the Sad Pic
tures-of which there we're only a
few, being in this respect different
from any of our American Exhibitions,
In which the pictures are nearly all
Sad. At this, her husband, who was
entirely destitute of Temperament,
scoffed rudely.

ed the Liveried Attendant to point out

had become a Moving Picture. This,
however, served only to confirm the

IMPORTANT MEETING AT
RIPON.

An important meeting, which
started ball rolling that may prove
of vast Importance to central and
northern Wisconsin, was held at
Ripon on Thursday evening, May lst.
Preparations for this meeting had
been in progress for several weeks and
that beautiful little city of Fond du
Lac county, on that evening enter
tanned a large number of strangers,
from surrounding places, all enthu-
siastic to organize and work as a
unit, for the upbuilding and improve
ment of their various home cities.
The concensus of opinion was that
without concerted effort nothing
effective could be done
A banquet was given at the Ma
sonic Temple at O'Clock p. m. by
the Ripon Commercial club, which
was attended by about 100 men. An
orchestra furnished enchanting music
during the banquet hour and a male
quartette helped in no small degree
to heighten the pleasure of the even
ing. The post-prandial program was
opened by an address by the Hon. L.
w. Thayer, president of the club,
who acted as POSTMASTER and who
welcomed the visitors and went into
details as the purposes of the meeting.
He was followed by acting Mayor
Maudlin of Ripon, and then by Hon.
w. H. Mylrea of Wausau, secretary of
the Wisconsin Advancement associa-
ton, who was the principal speaker
of the evening. Mr.. Mylrea's address
was over an hour in length, and
worthy of place in every newspaper
in Wisconsin, for the vast amount of
information given out as to the
resources of the state; the possibili-
ties in its farming lands and dairy
interests, and truly said that mo
nation grows great and strong save
as it lives where the green grass grows
naturally. The long periods of heat
in the summer time, with the addi-
tional droughts that result therefrom
is heavy handicap to those sections
of our land where these conditions
exist. While there are many favored
localities in the states south of the
Ohio river, yet in comparison with
the more favored localities in the
North. the traveller can readily see
that all the advantages for the dairy
interest are much greater in our fam
Gus lake region. Our people who
travel west to the Pacific can all bear
witness TO the fact that as they leave
the Missouri river and travel west the
green grass disappears from sight
save in favored valleys. In many sec

tion to many present. He summed
up the situation in Wisconsin, in a
very few words, viz:
'"The mining interests of this coun-
ty will last many years. The casual
observer and student of mining his
tory realizes that like timber but one
crop of mineral can be produced in
the course of time. The remaining
sources of wealth of this community
must come from the SOIL waterpowers
and great facilities for water trans
portation. Later on it will be shown
that the population of this portion of
the state is destined greatly to in
crease, and that in due time the soil
must support population not only
engaged in agriculture, but to a large
extent in manufacturing"
That portion of his address relat-
ing to our railroads and especially to
a prospective air line through to lake
Superior, stirred up enthusiasm, as it
was apparent that such line must
come sooner or later and that it only
remained for the various cities along

lron-eearina Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity of
iron carried in certain plants with a
view to the effect on the human sys-
tenn when those plants are used as
food. Artificially prepared foods con-
tanning iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron Is
not completely assimilated. This diff
ficulty, 1t is thought, may be avoid
ed by causing plants to take up an
increased quantity of iron during their
natural growth. By adding hydrate Of
iron to the soil in which it was grow
ing, the experimC1ters have succeed
ed in producing spinach containing a
percentage of iron seven times as
great as that found in ordinary spin
ach. 1t &c believed that the process
will prove successful with other fer
ruginous plants.

THE Underwood Tariff Bill is max
ing rapid progress through Congress
and it is generally believed that it
will become law by July 1st. A
fight was made to secure tariff hear
ings before the Senate finance COM
mitUee, but this privilege was denied
as the finance committee truthfully
says that ample opportunity was given
to the manufacturers to be heard be-
fore the ways and means committee
when the bill was before this COM
mittee. Mr.. Underwood sent a terri
tic shot through the ranks of the pro
tectionists when he declared that the
tariff duties for the last fifty years
were really war duties which necesSi-
tated exceedingly high tariff duties
in order to raise a large revenue for
the needs of the government in the
civil war of 1861 to 1865. The manu-
facturers have grown so wealthy as a
result of that high protection that
they have been engaged to control
congress and the presidents ever since
the war up until the present time.
