Chance Tariff Bill.

Determination to equalize live stock
and grains and heir respective prod
ucts in the Underwood tariff bill has
been reached by the senate finance
subcommittee considering the agricul-
tural schedule.
1t has been agreed that if cattle,
sheep, hogs, wheat and oats are to re-
main dutiable, as the Underwood bill
classifies, then a duty shall be placed
upon beef, mutt l, pork, wheat, flour
and oatmeal, or If these products are
to remain en- the free list the raw ma
terials will be converted into the free
list.
This is the first basic tariff change
planned by the senate Democrats since
the Underwood bill came from the
house.

Believed BY MINISTER CASTRIL-
10 THAT 1T WILL BE BUILT
BY u. ..
WOULD SHORTEN PANAMA BY2OOO Nj.
Nicaraguan Government Has APP
proved of Treaty Negotiated by
ex-President Taft-Secretary
Bryan Favors Plan.

Another great Atlantic-Pacific wa
terway, making ship route between
the eastern and western coasts of the
United States, 1000 miles shorter than
through the Panama canal, will be
built soon by the United States, is the
opinion of DR.. Salvador Castrillo, retir-
ing Nicaraguan minister. In a state
ment recently DR.. Castrillo said he
believed a canal treaty would be nego-
tiated between the United States and
Nicaragua and that the canal would be-
constructed across his country.
The canal treaty, which is an inher-
itance from the Taft administration,
was negotiated by Minister Weitzel
last winter and has received the ap-
prevail of the Nicaraguan government.
By it's terms Nicaragua, for $4,000 900.
would grant the United States the ex-
elusive right to construct canal
across Nicaragua by way of the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. This
government also would have right to
acquire coaling station in the bay Of
Fonseca on the Pacific side.
"Of course, the pending treaty may
be modified" said DR.. Castrillo, but
1 am greatly encouraged by Mr.. Bry-
ans assurance that he takes a broad
view of the subject after careful ex-
animation of the provisions of the pro-
posed rotue.
After all, the Panama is of military
and strategic Importance, but when it
is realized that a Nicaraguan canal
would shorten the route to the Pacific
coast by an additional 1000 miles 1 am
convinced that it will be built"

SCHOOL TEACHERS CONVENTION
Salt Lake City to Do the Honors
JULY Sill

School teachers who attend the Ma
tional Education Association conven-
ton in Salt Lake City July 5 to II will
have an opportunity of making first
hand study of the inland sea at time
when properties of the water are
demonstrated daily by hundreds of
bathers. Swimmers and non-swimmers
alike float like corks atop the water.
No one ever browns in the Great Salt
Lake.
This peculiar body of water, cover
ing many square miles, contains %
per cent salt. 1t gives the water a
buoyancy that causes the human body
to float.
Salt Lake City is preparing to en-
terrain the largest convention in the
history Of the National Education as
ISOLATION. The state of Utah has ap-
propriated $1,000 and funds from other
sources insure proper handling of the
convention. The Tabernacle, where
the general sessions will be held, seats
10000 persons.

National Committee to Meet Soon
After Congress Adjourns.

Washington.-Leade of the repub-
lican party-members of the executive
committee of the national committee
from twelve states-gathered here Sat
urday and laid preliminary plans for
the congressional campaign Of 1914
and the national political battle of two
years later.
AS a result the republican national
committee will meet 60 days after the
adjournment of the extra session of
congress and an extraordinary repub-
lican national convention Is expected
not later than year hence.
Changes in the basis of representa-
ton in national conventions, and re-
form of methods or party procedure,
which have been subject to criticism,
will be disposed of through these agen-
cies. Close cooperation between the
national committee and the congress
sional campaign committee was agreed
upon.
The conference was the first formal
meeting of republican leaders since
the 1912 campaign. 1t was harmonious
from the time Chairman Charles D.
Hilles of the national committee called
for order until the last motion was
adopted.
The need for reform within the party
was not denied. The suggestion OF the
progressive element for national
convention in the near future was
heard and sentiment was practically
unanimous that such a convention
should be held.

WOMEN'S DRESS BLAMED
FOR ALL THE TROUBLE
DR.. Mary Walker Says Men Are Not

W. wary VdiNcf Gays wen ARE moi
to Blame That Girls Go WRONG.
The widespread immc -ality among
mer and women, boys and girls, the
horrible menace social disease, the
physical weakness of nearly all women
and the blindness, curvature of the
spine, club feet, tuberculosis, rupture,
infantile paralysis and other ills from
which so many children suffer, are all
directly traccable to one thing-the
immoral, unhealthful and ridiculous
style of women's dress"
That is what the most famous advo-
cate in women dress-Dr. Mary
Walker-said, when asked her opinion
of the low-necked, short-sleeved, tight
skirted, petticoatless costume of 1913
1t is no new theory with her. She
has been advocating it for little mat
ter of SO years, having donned trousers
herself at the age of is, worn them
constantly and preached for male at
tire for women in season and out of
season ever since. Now, at the age of
73, still going about the world in mems
trousers, frock coat, silk hat, standing
linen collar, cravat and mems shoes,
she is more positive than ever that the
solution of nine-tenths of society's
troubles is for women to dress like
men.
