Standard Separator Made

Some separator companies claim
that they sell separator at as low
a price as we ask for the Beatrice.
A pillow is q pillow, but there Is a
vast difference between 1O-inch
and an 18-inch pillow. There is a
vast difference between SbO-lb.

6oO-lb. capacity Beatrice Cream
Separator for $4,000.
Think It over. Would you pay
s65 for a separator and spend an
hour morning and night separating
your milk when for the same money
you can buy a standard separator
absolutely guaranteed by US, that
will do the work in less than half
the time? Would you ask your
wife, then, to put in half an hour
or longer in washing and scrubbing
by hand all the numerous parts OF
a separator bowl when you can buy
a Beatrice with which is furnished

which washes and dries all the

 ... IN EUROPEAN WAR
Senators Argue Possibility Should
 Shp Bill Be Passed.

Washington, Aug. 6.-In two hours 1 devoted to consideration of the Alex ander bill for the American registry of foreign built ships, which was talk en up in the senate yesterday after having been passed by the house, op- position developed, and several amendments were offered. Finally by agreement, the bill went over until today.
 Possibility that the passage of such an act would involve the United suggested by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire and Senator Craw- ford of South Dakota. Each sug- gested that if foreign merchantmen were purchased by Americans and foreign officers and crews were re- tained and only the flag changed, the proceeding would appear to foreign nations as subterfuge and would lead to the seizure of some of the ves- sells as prizes of war
 Ample Proof Necessary.
 Senator O'Gorman explained that an American who purchased vessel under such circumstances would be put to the necessity of proving before a prize court that he purchased in good faith.
 Senator. Ora awford insisted that the passage of the act would simply in- vite international trouble. He called attention to claims now pending be- fore congress for damages growing out of seizures by France 100 years ago.
 Square Deal Questioned.
 Senator Gallinger inquired whether or not it would be square deal 10 ships now flying the American flag and engaged in the foreign trade for the government to permit foreign of- ticers, who drew about one-half of the pay that American officers do, to sail such ships and for our govern ment also to waive the inspection and measurements our laws require.
 About the only thing that would be American on these ships would be the flag" said Senator Gallinger.
 Mir. O'Gorman replied that the senate was dealing with great emergency.
 Industries Being Paralyzed.
 Our industries are being para 1VZpG. vessels flying the American flag on the Atlantic ocean. What better sug- gestion can the senator from New Hampshire make for meeting this emergency"
 Senator Gallinger replied that it was possible to change the law to permit vessels now in the coastwise trade of the United States to engage in the foreign trade Senator OGor- man agreed with Senator Gallinger that this could be done by a slight change in the law and in the same bill.
 Agree With Gallinger.
 Senator Stone and Senator Weeks also agreed with this idea and MT. Weeks called attention to the large number of vessels of large capacity on the Great Lakes.
 There are several amendments to the bill pending.

vas a refusal to let William Sulzer in to make a speech.
 Outburst for Sulzer.
 The Sulzer outburst enlivened the session. Philip C. Samuels, who held proxy, demanded that MT. Sulzer be invited to speak. Dr. Kozma of the East Side amended the motion to in- clude an invitation to MT. Hinman, who, so far as anybody knew, was in Binghamton. After endless excited debate, cries that free speech were being trnmpled on, during which Chairman Robinson first banged the head off his gaveI and then sat on the table cheerfully swinging his legs. Mrs. William Vanamee said: We are ma king ourselves supremeiy ridicu- lous. Why not call Miss Ann Rhodes to assist the chairman as an expert on procedure?" Eventually the motion affecting MT. Sulzer and MT. Hinman was tabled.
 A few minutes later the Colonel ap- peared on the stage. He was greeted with cheers and flag and hat waving, but the demonstration lacked some thing of old time fervor. Colonel Roosevelt seemed to be in first rate health.
 Colonel Liable to Err.
 One of the unconvinced was Henry Burger of Kings, who said even Colonel Roosevelt was liable to err and had done so this time. Mir. Bur ger would have none of MT. Hinman. He shouted: Let us vote for a straight ticket" Ex-Senator Daven- port spoke for Hinman, saying he is mot a progressive in our sense of the word and does not claim to be-" but is "conservatively progressive on all the important issues" Mrs. vanamee said she was for MT. Hinman despite his suffrage beliefs, because he could be trusted to do the right thing.
 A resolution reaffirming zeal for woman suffrage was passed. It was prepared by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Hatch. r.s
 Colonel Roosevelt returned to oyster Bay last night by automobile. Before going to the progressive con- ference in the afternoon he conferred with Cecil Lyon, national committee man from Texas; Charles Thompson, national committeeman from Yer mont: County Chairman Bird and City Judge William l.. Ranson. He refused to comment on the European crisis.

COLONEL SAYS HE
 WOULD Sh|TE ENEMY
Roosevelt Quotes Bible h Plea
 for Hinman.

New York, Aug. 6.-The state pro- yesterday was colored by much oppo- sition to Harvey D. Hinman, but no important leader made fiat anti Hinman speech, which might have started real fireworks.
 In a day marked otherwise by con- siderable aimless twittering the cen- terpiece was of course the speech whereby Col Roosevelt hoped to con- vince the doubters that MT. Hinman will do the work at Albany desired by the progressive party, even if at pres ent he does not subscribe to the en- tire progressive creed.
 We should ask nothing of such man." he said, except that on the immediate and vital issue of clean and honest government and on the overthrow of both bosses and both machines and of the governmental corruption that has followed the dom finance of these machines in our state policies he shall represent our ideas"
 For his pithiest declaration of pur- pose for 1914, as for his Armageddon of 1912, the colonel went to the Bible.
 II want to smite the enemy" he said, cutting away from his manu- script. ''I wish to strike with the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. I wish to hew Ammon hip and thigh And to do that I want to do some- thing effective-something that the enemy will feel"
 Colonel Pleads For Results.
 o1;x, F.: as he added: II am not anxious to save our souls by passing nice little resolutions and by taking some action that will leave us performing in vacuo while the bosses and their agents praise us for being consistent
 The 800 men and women in the ball room cheered this and the colonels appeal for fusion on union platform just as loudly as they had cheered earlier insistence from other men that the progressives must nominate a straight ticket in the good old way.
 Amos Pinchot, for example, insisted that it was not enough to be told that Mir. Hinman is an honest man and op- posed to bosses. He said the progress sives were warranted in asking for a more particular bill of political faith. He asked that a committee be ap- pointed to submit pertinent questions to MT. Hinman and other candidates publicly. From many in the ball. room came signs of approval Yet when it came to vote MT. Pinchot's motion was referred by 101 to 5 vote to a committee of twenty-one, which is ito consider and report re- concerning the plat form and policy of the party during the coming campaign"
 To this committee was entrusted all important matters, apparently includ- ing consideration of candidates. It's appointed by State Chair man Robinson, are: Frederick M. Davenport, Regius H Post, Francis W. Bird, Bainbridge Colby, Hugh Ab- bolt. William l.. Ransom, Ernest Cawerfot, Harold J. Richardson, Will liam M. Chadbourne, Horace S. Will J. J.
