No Tiaht Lacina in Heaven.

Another reason woman thinks heaven will be a place of bliss is because she thinks she won't have to last tight" says an ex- change. It should seem para disc to woman to be independent of fashion and free of care. It is easy to dress in corsets and the other implements of torture com- mon to feminine style, but it is quite an improvement to have the privilege of taking off these and dressing ill cOm- mon sense apparel. Most any man who has gone thorugl a day when pair of overnight shoes made life uncomfortable for him, should be able to distinguish be- tween plain comforts and those we know not of. but dread lest we finally realize them.

CONGRESSMEN
 WON BY WILSON
Agree to the Presidents Elan of Free Wool and a Lower Tar
 if on Sugar.

Washington, D. c., April B. President Wilson has won the fight to have the Democratic party reduce the tariff on sugar and to wipe out the tariff on wool, which will, if the Wilson plan carries, be admitted int" this country free.
 Many Democratic members of congress were opposed to tbe cut, claiming that the government must have revenue to carry on the work of the administration. and others are opposed to the cut because it will effect induSi, irS in their districts.
 It is estimated by the Ways and Means committee, of which Con- gressman Oscar Underwood is chairman, that the loss to the government by the free wool will be $20.O0O,000, while the reduc- tiOn in the tariff, as now plan ned on sugar, will cost the treas ury departnfent the neat sum of S53, ,OOO. .OOO.

GILMORE |S
 VICTORIOUS
Bitter Fight at Nome to Dust the , Present Mayor From Council
 Was Unsuccessful,

Nome. April ,.--D"layed in transit Mayor Gilmore was re-
 elected to the council here on Tuesday in spite of the bitter hostility towards him of the eln- pluying operators. The labor elp- ment rallied to the aid of Gil- more and Succre1ch in carrying
 him to victory.
 George Jones, member of the Western Federation of Miners leads the winning ticket. he re- ceiving 5S6 out of total of t0Ol votes east; 69 registered voters failed to vote ill spite of the fact that men hunted the town from one end to the other for the miss ing voters.
 Five members of the present council were beaten and Gilmore and one other reelected. The successful ticket was call
 ed the Citizens ticket and was strongly backed by the working men of the city, while the cor purations who operate in and about he city worked for the old
 council with the exception of Gill
 more. against whom all their rf- forts were directed.
 The lowest councilman elected
 received 490 votes, while the next highest candidate received 3S votes. Gilmore was the sixth man in the running.
 Thousands of dollars were bet on the result. the Gilmore men
 winning big money.
 Considerable scratching was done by the voters and the counting was delayed, the result not being known until near morn ing.
 Judge Murane has done as much as possible in his official position
 to defeat Gilmore. He it was who
 started the campaign against the
 present mayor by accusing the
 council of allowing gamblign
 within the city. Ii is also alleg-
 ed that considerable bad blood
 exists between the two men be-
 cause of the failure of the Pio-
 neer Mining company's men to
 vote at the delegate election, Mu-
 rane, il is understood, opposing
 Gilmore, and preventing the com
 pany from coming {" the support f th" Republican nominee.

Right Kind of Prosperity.

What this country wants is general prosperity. Prosperity in the workshop, in the bank, in the store. on the farm, and in Wall street, too. says Leslie $ Weekly. When all oE us prosper no one can complain, but if any suffer all must endure more or less of hardship. Let Us be broadminded, fair and just, con- ceding to some more ability than to others, and recognizing that the Creator in His infinite wisdom did not make all men alike in brain any more than in body, that some will have greater genius for great affairs than others, just as some will have greater physical strength and powers of endur- ance for the race of life.

World Not So Bad After All.

Who says honest men are all dead? A man who lived in Will son county thirty-five years ago, but who has long been resident of Arizona, recently visited the home of one of Wilson county's oldest citizdns and paid for calf which had been taken from the ranch of the old settler thirty years ago. The taking of the calf had long been forgotten by the owner, but the conscience of the man who was responsible for the act had never been satisfied, and he felt easy only when the value of the animal taken had been paid to the owner. Men are not so bad as they are sometimes cred tied with being, and the world is not so bad, after all.

The view taken by t.lose interested was
that although the conclusion of racing in
Virginia and Maryland is about May 20,
some of the New York racing associa-

courses and hold meetings under licenses

the business policy of any OF the racing

say whether there shall be racing, it was
pointed out, but should any of the as
sociations decide to open their courses the
Jockey club controls the manner in which
such racing shall be conducted.
