of the primary is only the beginning

Bills to Lay Over.
Senators already talk about lay
ing over" lot of bills, in which the
administration is interested. There is
not sufficient time for the prolonged
debating which these measures entail.
The Burnett immigration bill may be
one of them. 1t has been favorably
reported but there is much opposition.
The President is said not to regard
the illiteracy test in that immigra ton
bill very favorably and might prefer
that it go over till another year or
even till another Congress. The good
roads bill is another measure, just
reported favorably, but so certain to
provoke opposition that no serious eff
fort may be made for it. Those who
hope to kill some of this legislation
bill debate. 1t promises to shut out
that much of opportunity for taking
up these other bills. The canal de-
bate will require a month easily; the
antitrust bills. if they can be brought
TO the front again, another month cas-
lily: and the appropriation bills can
hardly be disposed of by the Senate in
another month. These go to indicate
that the Senate will be short on time
for lot of public business
The Canal Tolls Battle.
There are two Democratic lions in
the Senate pathway and they are
roaring terrifically as President Will
son carries his canal tolls exemption
repeal bill from the House and
through the long corridor to the north
end of the Capitol. The Irish ex-judge
of the New York supreme court, Sem
ator O'Gorman, is one of them. The
other is Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon. Both have already made speech
es to resolutions and on other excuses
1t was Senator Chamberlain who. a
few days ago, announced in a Senate
speech that he was ready to go war
with Great Britain or any other pow
er to vindicate our rights to the canal
and to uphold his Interpretation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty All in all
these two Democratic senators can
probably make more trouble for Pres
ident Wilson in the Senate, than
Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
Underwood were~able to make in the
House. Senator O'Gorman, as chair
man OF the interoceanic canals COM
mittee, which will consider the repeal
bill, has position Of vantage and will
undoubtedly use his position to make
the administration fight as hard as he
can.

publican support in the House but 1t

was not numerically large. He will
have better Republican support in the
Senate. For example, Senator Brande-
gee of Conn, who was chairman of
the inter- oceanic canal committee
when the exemption clause was en-
acted. believes in repeal Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, the greatest
authority on matters Of our foreign
relations, in Congress certainly, is
with the President and is preparing
pretentious speech. Senator Root
of New York, former secretary of
state is on the same side of the fence.
A number of other Republican sena-
tors take like view and the defec-
tons among Democratic senators are
not large. The administration prob
ably can not hope to pass the repeal
bill in the Senate with Democratic
votes, as it did in the House.
But the aggressive opposition to the
repeal bill in the Senate is Democrat
ic and emphasizes how Democratic
senators are getting as much out of
whack with the administration as are
some of the leading Democrats of the
House. Indeed most of the noise
against President Wilson and the re-
peal bill, as made thus far in the Sem
ate, has come from the Democrats.
1t all goes to demonstrate how diff
ficult it is for Democratic brethren
to dwell together in unity even when
they have control of all the legisla-
tive branches. 1t also means that this
status is to be made very conspic-
uous before the country as these re-
q
promising to hold the repeal bill up
in the Senate and keep it under de-
bate for month or more for the sake
of embarrassing the President. While
there are Republican opponents, they
would probably let the bill come to
a vote very soon indeed.

Washington, April 3-Imports of
paper for use in the printing of news
papers and books aggregated $4,000
600 pounds in the first five months
under the present tariff law which
transferred to the free list printing
papers valued at less than 2a cents
per pound and reduced from an aver
age ad valorem equivalent of about 10
per cent. under the old law to IL per
cent. the duty assessed on printing
papers of higher valuation. This
total of 237000,000 pounds is double
that for the corresponding period a
year ago, a fact of interest in view of
the tendency toward lower prices for
newspapers, magazines, and other We
hicles of popular information. At the
present rate of importation the total
imports of printing paper in the fiscal
year ending June 80 next will approxi-
mate 535, 100000 pounds, compared
with l20,00o.0oO in 1912.
The aggregate value of imports of
articles connected with the paper in =
dustry, including, in addition to paper
and paper products, pulp wood, wood
pulp, and other paper stock, was $685.,
100000 in the calendar year 1913. On
the other hand, while the annual do
nestle production of paper and manu-
features thereof had risen above
$500 100000 as far back as 1909, the
exports in that line during recent
years have never exceeded s25,0000 600

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April 3.-The last traces of
bullish spirit which propelled the mar
ket upward earlier in the week seemed
to have oozed away today. Trading
dragged on in a spiritless way, with an
undercurrent of heaviness. At no time
was the list under pronounced pressure,
although in isolated instances prices gave
way sharply. The general movement
was slow and it was not until shortly
before the close. when selling became
more active, that any considerable num-
Der of the prominent shares showed de-
clines of as much as point.
Weakness of few stocks held the
whole market in check. Missouri Pacific
slumped on the announcement that nego-
tiations for acquisition of control of that
and other Gould roads by Rockefeller In
Pacific was exceptionally heavy, respond
ing to foreign selling. London offered
that stock rather freely but otherwise
did little here. Progress of reorganiza-
ton plans for Rock Island and Wabash
was reflected by the movements of those
securities.
New low records were made by Rock
Island common at ga; preferred at 81
and collateral As at "a 5-S. Wabash As
continued their recent rise for time,
advancing u to $50, a 4-point gain on
the week. Later they sold off to 90 ga
and closed with only fractional recoy-
cry.
Various estimates were made of Unit
ed States Steels untitled tonnage report
to be presented next week but all of
the forecasts agreed in predicting a sharp
contraction. The outlook for April is re-
garded as doubtful. New business dur
ing the last 10 days was reported as
slightly better, although large buyers are
still holding off in the hope that steel
makers will reduce prices further.
Increased cash holdings were indicated
by the statistics of known currency
movements for the week. Estimates Of
the cash gains in the bank statement
called for an increase of A.50o0oo.

In the spring and summer OF 1913
there were no politics at home. In the
spring and summer of 1914 there are
politics in every Congressional dis
trict Primaries are already raging
in certain sections of the land and
more are coming rapidly. There is
another important consideration: In
these up-to-date times, good politi-
clans know how futile it is to defer
campaign activities till the last three
or four weeks. Candidates for offices
know that the effective work is done
months in advance. before the peo-
pie have been aroused to political ac-
tivities.
Now Democrats in Senate and House
have had mighty little opportunity
for circulating among their constitu-
ents during the last year. But they
know there are Republican candidates
at home, who have had many oppor-
tunities to go up and down the dis
trict making friends and perfecting
their organizations. So it is that these
Democratic senator's and representa-
tives who have anything like hard
fight to get back in November simply
can not be detained in Washington

Senator Frye of Maine, was president
