WOOL AND SUGAR.
President Stands by House
Bill as a Proper Redemp-
1ilE of Platform Pledge
HEARINGS UNNECESSARY
Lively Debate in Senate Last
Night-Panics and Their
Causes Discussed

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 15.-.
President Wilson came out strongly
tonight as champion of free wool
and free sugar in three years, as pre-
vided in the Underwood tariff bill.
He announced he had not consid
cred a compromise of any Sort that
he stood squarely behind the meas
ure us it passed the house, and re-
gartied it as the duty of the demo
cratic majority in the senate to full
fill its platform pledge by enacting
the. house bill into law. The presi
dents utterances were made to half
hundred newspaper correspondents
who gathered as usual today at the
White House for the semi-weekly
conference.
AT the same time the senate was
engaged in protracted debate, at the
end of which an agreement was
reached tonight to vote tomorrow on
the question of public hearings on
the fariff bill While the president
smilingly let it be known he was ex-
pressing no opinion whatever for or
against the hearings and this ques-
ton was for the senate to dispose
OF, mis- claim for unqualified support
of the bill was taken generally to
for special interests on tariff sched.
uleS TO be closed when the measure
passed the house.
The sugar schedule was again the
subject of lively debate in the sen.
ate, Ransdell answering the claim OF
James that the democratic platform.
warned Louisiana to expect free sug.
ar. Ransdell submitted records in an
effort to show the party was not
committed to free sugar.
Thomas of Colorado aroused the
republicans during his discussion of
threats of business depression if the
Underwood bill became a law. He
declared that no panic in the history
of the country ever was caused by
an attempt to revise the tariff, an J
read a magazine article which stat.
ed Che panic of 1893 was caused by
bankers who desired the repeal OF
the Sherman silver law. According
to this article circulars were sent
out from New York to the banks
demanding they retire part of their
circulation and call a large part of
their loans, with the object of fore
ing congress to repeal the act.
Norris and Root expressed disbe
lief any such circular ever had been
sent Page declared none was re-
ceived by Vermont bankers and
Smoot said the same was true OF
Utah. Lane, however, came to the
assistance of his democratic colleague
by stating he knew of banker who
received such communication
Thomas also asserted that the 1907
panic was engineered by the Stand
ard Oil company and allied interests
to get through the Tennessee Goa!

PEARSON DIVORCE CASE

MONTESANO, May 16-The d.
vorce case of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Pearson is being hotly contested in
the superior court, not so much that
Mr.. Pearson resists the divorce, but
such charges have been made against
him in the complaint that he cannot
permit to go unrefuted. The testi
mony is racy at times, and ranges
from alleged "too much mother-in-
law" to a platonic lover in Canada

make it effective is sleeping on his
rights. He is depriving himself and

The southern people are great con-
sumers of meat, but comparatively
small meat producers. We consume
more meat per capita in the lower
South than in any other section of
the country and produce less. Why
is this? 1t is because we do not
have the conditions favoring pork
production in this part of the United
States that they have in others or is
1t our own fault? Have We even
tried to produce pork on a paying
basis? No we have not. We have
tried to feed our hogs on too many
wormy acorns, too much of root hog

swear that there is nothing in rails
ing hogs in this country. OF course
l will agree that there is no money
