PRAISES WILSON'S RECORD,
DANIELS DECLARES ADMINS.
TRATION is MAKING GOOD.
Universal Testimony, Says Secre-
tary, Is That Tariff Legislation Has
Proved Blessing.

harrisburg, Pa, pril 13.-JOsephus
Daniels, secretary Of the navy, who
was the orator of the Jefferson day
dinner of the Central Democratic club
here tonight, declared that the meas
ures enacted by the Wilson admins
tratiOn had benefited the country and
that rural credit and trust regulation
laws were bound to come. He added
That the present struggle is against
special privilege and that the enact.
ment of the law for direct election OF
United States senators was victory
for Democracy which squared with
Jefferson's teaching. The income tax
and the currency law were pointed to
as Democratic victories and the new
tariff law. he asserted, was not caus-
Ing distress.
THE universal testimony to the
new legislation enacted by this admin
istration," said Mr. Daniels, lis that il
already has proved a blessing and the
fears of those who opposed it were
found to be utterly groundless. The
Democratic policy during the present
session of congress will add to the con
structive acts accomplished-a rural
credit banking system, that will meet
the needs OF our agricultural develop
ment. and antitrust measures T.,
throttle monopoly and open the free
avenues Of trade"
What has been the secret Of the
widespread popularity of the Demo
cratic programme? 1t is easy to find
The secret Is that the leaders in con-
gies and the president of the United
States have been ilnbued with and
dominated by the spirit Of jefferson
Their inspiration has come from the
aims and aspirations Of the people
and their ambition has been to be the
true representatives of the will OF
the people"
The secretary closed his address
with the prediction that the free tolls
repeal bill was "sure to pass" and
said the party will have record by
November that will be worthy not
only OF the nation but OF all the
world"

ECONOMIC FACTOR OF TOLLS
COMES UP IN SENATE COMMIT.
TEE DURING HEARING.
wilson Stands Firm i'm Opposition to
Observation-Disclosures With Bryan
That No Amendment Claiming
Sovereignty Is Needed.

washington, April 13.-The eco
nomivc side Of the Panama canal tolls
controversy occupied the senate inter-
oceanic canals committee today to the
virtual exclusion of the treaty obli-
cations involved and neither aspect
was in evidence elsewhere about con-
gress At the White House, however.
President Wilson reaffirmed his belief
that repeal Of the exemption from
tolls granted to American coastwise
SHIPS would not constitute an inter-
pretation OF the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, but merely would indicate the
unwillingness Of this country to bring
up the question of discrimination.
The president agreed with the views
recently expressed by Secretary Bryan
that no amendment to the pending re-
peal bill reaffirming the sovereignty
of the United States over the canal
was necessary. Before the canals
committee E. Il. Chamberlain, federal
commissioner Of navigation, and Prof
S. s. Huebner Of the University of
pennsylvania discussed the economic
question Of tolls exemption in a gem
eral way. Prof. Huebner for two
years was employed as an expert by
the house merchant marine commit
tee and data which he compiled as to
the coastwise shipping at that time
was laid before the committee TODAY
for it's information.
Commissioner Chamberlain declared
his belief that the United States had
no right to exempt any of it's shipping
from payment of tolls unless it spe-
officially provided that the government
should meet the expense Of passage
OF the exempted ships through the
canal and that the exemption should
not add in any way to the burden
imposed upon foreign shipping.
Prof. Hubener expressed no opinion
on the repeal issue, conflning himself
to the economic discussion growing
out Of the statement that the house
committee investigation had shown
over 80 per cent of the coastwise ships
on the Atlantic coast and so per cent
OF those on the Pacific coast were
controlled by railroads or confer
ences" of steamship companies, so far
as rate making is concerned"
The only other witness heard was
Walter Wood. representing the Phila-
delphia Chamber Of Commerce. who
presented a resolution adopted by that
body.

PLAN FOR COTTON SAMPLES.
SMITH SECURES FAVORABLE RE.
PORT ON MEASURE.
Amendment to Agricultural ApprO.
priItiOn Will Bring Great Benefit to
Farmers.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Smith OF South Carolina returned to
Washington today from a short stay
at hcme. Immediately upon his re-
turn, Senator Smith secured from the
senate committee on agriculture a
favorable report on an amendment
which he has proposed to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill to appro-
pirate 100000 for placing stand
ardized samples OF cotton grades on
all the local platforms in the cot
ton growing States where cotton is
sold.
There will also be q set Of yarns.
both bleached and unblcached, made
from the samples. This will give it's
exact shipping value. The govern
ment has standardized it's cotton
grades, but this action can not be
fully appreciated by the farmer un-
less he has the samples and the
yarns made from them.
Probably nothing that Senator
Smith has done for the interests Of
the cotton growing people. especially
the man who runs the small farm,
has been SO valuable as this work.
With the standardization OF cotton
and with sets of bleached and un-
bleached goods made from these sam
pies, the farmer is able not only to
tell exactly what he is producing and
what his cotton is worth, but what
1t will make I'm manufactured goods
when placed side By side with the
raw material.
The agricultural appropriation bill
will be taken up in the senate at an
early date, and 1t is almost certain
that Senator Smith will have tho
amount referred to placed in it.

ing the nucleus for the conference
on model rural schools at the Con-
ference for Education in the South,
held at Louisville, Ky. This was
the proposed Winthrop Farm School,

meeting, Prof. X. e. Lee, OF the ell
gineering department OF Clemson
College. who designed the Winthrop
Farm School, prepared two large
drawings. showing the floor plans
OF the building. The drawings were
OF such a size as to be ready visible
to a large audience. Prof. Lee sent
the plans to Louisville. there to be
used. together with an explanatory
address. as the nucleus Of the CON
terence on model rural schools.
Prof. Lees plans call for build
ing OF one and half stories, with
basement, the building being design
ed to look like farm home instead
OF a school. On the lower floor are
to be four main rooms, one for a
carpenter shop. one for a kitchen, q
third as an indoor class room and
the other as an Open-air class room.
The last will be open on two sides
and will be used during pleasant
weather. Utilitarian methods will
he emphasized. The lower floor is
SO arranged that it can be handled
either by ono teacher or three.
Courses advised for the school are
the elementary arts, agriculture and
home economies.
The upper floor may be used either
as living quarters for the teacher or
aa an auditorium for public meetings
Tho school will be surrounded by
ample play grounds, gardens and u
field.

Soon.
Clemson College, April 14.-South
Carolina's first cooperative ship
ment OF pure bred live stock has been
brought into the State and distribut-
ed to the purchasers in Greenville
Anderson and Spartanburg counties
The stock was purchased by J. T.
Watt, live stock demonstration agent
OF the United States Department of

the extension and animal husbandry
divisions Of Clemson College. Mr.
Watt was accompanied on this tril
by Paul v. Moore, secretary OF the

some are animals of very high birth
Mr.. Watt has been greeted by ex-
pressions of pleasure and satisfaction
wherever no rls gone to distribute
these animals
This is the first Of series cf ship
ments of pure bred live stock into

aroused that there are already suf-
ficient advance demands to warrant
the purchase OF five more carloads

their quilts outlined with gems.
Square-topped pins, inlaid with gold,
matching gold-topped side combs and

Glass as material for couture or
naments is steadily making its way
into favor. Under strong light spun
glass aigrettes are most effective, es-
pecially when of white combined with
emerald green, sapphire, blue, ruby,
red or golden yellow.
Some glass tiaras show design in
flowers and leaves attached to skel-
eton latticing in silver or gold. Rose
buds with their foliage are favorites,
but SO are white wild daisies and any
of the smaller field blooms.
Clusters Of oak or mistletoe leaves
are used with good effect in glass
tjaras, and, in fact, any sort Of foil
age that is not overlarge may cor.
rectly be used, excepting, of course,
the strawberry leaves sacred to the
