The most encouraging thing OF all
Is that the senate is very plainly

there has been an increase from 40

that all jokers have been eliminated.

at the same time probably put the

the following changes in the regula-
tons: Raising OF the ll-pound limit
10 100 pounS. with no limit at all in
cases where patrons collect and de
liver the merchandise: increase the
size OF the zones so as to make each
zone 100 miles wide. including the
local zone; collect an initial charp
OF cents and a rate Of half cent
a pound for each zone: admit any
class Of merchandise to the mails
II will be seen that such changes
would put the express companies out

! proposed are much below present ex-
press rates.

Homes for Birds

Few persons actually realize the

the more common varieties OF insect

lives on insect life is worth it's weight

Something will have 10 be done soon

Tariff Bill Amendments

The senate committee has, We think
showed much wisdom, III the changes
that it has made in the tariff bill. SO
far there have been no signs OF re-
dictionary tendency. On the contrary.
many duties have been lowered. and
there have been some additions to tie
free list. All of which goes to prove
that two legislative bodies are better
than one. even when the one is as hon
est. efficient and patriotic as the pres
ent house OF representatives We
have no high opinion of the principle
of retaliation in tariff legislation, for
such action usually Injuries the nation
that resorts to it as much as it does
the nation against which it is direct
ed. But il is 10 be said for the senate
committee that, while 1t has given
the president power to retaliate. It
las carefully defined and limited that
power The articles on which the
higher duties may be imposed and the
increases in duties are alike set forth

First Senator by Direct Choice

The distinction Of electing the first

issue a writ for an eIecUIon on Nov
4 next, OF a successor 70 Isidor Ray
ner, who died last fall and whose
place was filed temporarily by the
appointment Of William p Jackson.
An interesting feature Of this pro-
ceeding is that no session OF the state
seventeenth amendment was adopted
and no change has been made in the
election laws 10 include the senator
ship among the Offices 10 be voted for
al a general election. The attorney
general has held that the existing
laws suffice TO permit popular vote
for senator. inasmuch as there is now
no other method by which senator
can be constitutionally chosen.
That decision may help out OF a diff
flculty other states which fail 70
amend their election laws before the
time for choosing senators under the
new plan comes around 1t has also
been held in Maryland that candidates
for senator may go on the primary
ballots just like candidates for any
other state office. In fact. II the Mary

amending either its election or It's pri-
