Washington, June 11.-By a vote of
30 to SO on the first amendment Of
fered today by the .anti-repeal forces it
was apparent that the repeal forces had
lost no strength over night. The vote
was on the amendment offered by SEN
ator Works, who sought to change the
language reserving American rights to
tolls exemption. Ten Democrats voted
for the amendment. Thirteen RepubH-
cans voted against it.
The repeal forces won the first round
of the fight last night when they put
through by a vote OF so to "a, the So
called Simmons Norris amendment
which declares that the United States
does not waive or relinquish any right
1t may have to exempt American ships
from payment of Panama canal tolls.
Both sides had CONCEDED that this
amendment would carry, but it had
been the subject of attack for many
hours yesterday, and when the large
majority was announced many sena-
tors We're surprised.
This was the first test vote after six
weeks of debate on the repeal bill
Even the most optimistic senators who
favored repeal had not expected the
amendment to carry by so large a ma
jority. It Is not believed, however, that
the bin itself can be put through by so
great margin.
Nine Democratic senators-AshurSt,
MARITIME, G'Gorman, Pomerene, Rams
dell. Reed, Shields, Walsh and Williams
voted against the amendment. Sew
eral of these, however, are expected to
vote for the repeal bill while several
Republicans who supported the amend
ment, are expected tp line up against
the bill.
The Simmons Norris amendment
would provide that the passage of the
repeal shall not be construed or held as
a waiver or REIMBURSEMENT of any
rights the United States may have un-
der the Hay -Pauncefote treaty with
Great Britain.

amendment was:

The Meanest Crime


The assassin who shoots you in the back
does a cowardly thing But he does it
frankly as an enemy, and he takes chances
of punishment He knows there are legal
penalties for that kind of murder.
But when doctor in hospital tries his
latest "discovery"-a surgical trick, or the
injection of fatal disease into conhding
patient he does it, not openly as an enemy,
but pretending to be friend. Unlike the
assassin who shoots you in the back, he has
no fear of punishment He is doubly safe,
because he selects his victims among the
poor, the sick, the helpless.
Such victims, always the weak and friend
less, whose only hope is in health and
strength are indeed fortunate if they escape
with mo more disease than when they en-
tered.
No law protects them.
There is no punishment for this meanest
Of crimes.
We are Constantly in Receipt of I'M
bortamt Letters Which are Too Long
for Our Limited Space. Brevity is
Desirable
The Dream Of the Doctors Trust
EDITOR OF LIFE:
Crimes which have been suspected hlther-
to are being disclosed by the inventive DOC
tors Trust" According to their present
plans, it will soon be illegal Ito come into
the world without the aid of doctor It
will also be considered prina facie evidence
of crime if you die-without the aid of a
physician! There are some disagreeable
persons who have insisted, on the other
hand, that it is prina facie evidence of crime
when citizen dies after receiving the at
tentions of medical man. It is only char
table to point out, however, that those who
make this charge may possibly be preiu-
diced
But fancy starting life under the stigma
of arrest for being born without medical
license! One may imagine, also, the hu-
initiation of the departed when he realizes
that there is warrant out for his arrest, be-
cause he left without consulting regular"
doctor as to the time and manner of his
going.
In any event, Our medical friends are seri-
ously planning benevolent despotism which
would make all the historic tyrannies of an
cient and modern autocrats seem like lazy
holiday in Elysium. Emerson's counsel,
Hitch your wagon to STAR, is obsolete
The modern medical advice is to yoke your
self to the fraternity and ''Let the Gold
Brick Twins do your work.. Medicine and
its brother, Surgery, are preparing to en-
slave the population by means of an unlinl-
tied supervision and control of all the hui
man activities that go to make UP the in
dividual life. This will be news to many
who have placidly believed that in this
country we have government "of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the people,. We
haven't! 1t is government of the doctors,
by the doctors, and decidedly for the doc
tors. W. s. NJ

chicks. Still, they require frequent iced
ing and heat while young.
When twenty-four hours old, place in
box with plenty of coarse sand, and feed
them dry bread we'll moistened with milk,
but do not make it sloppy.
One formula for mash to be used till
they are grown, and which is we'll recon-
mended is as follows:
parts cornmeal
parts bran
2 parts middlings
2 parts alfalfa meal
| part coarse sand
Add little beef scraps, and the second
week increase to two parts.
Green food is as necessary for ducklings
as for chicks.
So many people say, what do you do to
rid your houses of lice and mites?"
The following formulas are easily mixed
sistently used:
For lice
l pint crude carbolic acid, 8 pints gaso-
line.
Mix we'll with lbs plaster of Paris.
Rub portion of this mixture among the
feathers; then, in ten days after the nits
begin to hatch, rub again, and the powder
will destroy them.
For mites
| pint crude carbolic acid,
8 pints kerosene oil
Spray roosts and dropping boards each
time they are cleaned. This we have found
will keep everything clean from mites.
The severe cold of January and February
has cut into the production of chicks all
through the eastern and middle states
especially the New England States, and the
Billiards of February have reduced the
fertility of eggs so per cent, so that there
are not more than one half the number of
chicks in sight this autumn that there were
last autumn.
April Matched chicks will be in great de-
mand, and will have to supply the egg mar
ket with fresh eggs this fall and early
winter.

A ROCKER AND A DEsK-cHAIR.

Figure l shows a unique rocking
chair for boys room, made from
small box and boards from the wood
pile. Ii you can find a pair of rock
ers from broken chair, use them for
your rocker; if not, it is not difficult
to make q pair because you can get a
pattern from one of the rockers IN
the house. All that is necessary to
get this pattern is to lay chair on
its, side upon beard, ard then mark
out around the rocker on the board.
Lay out the two rockers accurately,
because they must be absolutely the
same and saw them out of the board
carefully. After saving them, smooth
up the surfaces with a plane and
sandpaper.
The box forms the chair seat, and
should be about Is inches by is inches
by II inches in size. Ii the box you
have. for the purpose is few inches
wider. or longer than these measure
ments, it will not matter, as it will
only make that much larger chair, but
IL inches is just the right height and
your box should not be higher than
this to make a comfortable rocker.
Replace any split or knOtty boards
with pieces removed from another
box, and nail ION the cover boards to
form the top of the seat Figure 2
