When the Farmer Comes to Town.

How do we greet the farmer when
he comes to town?
When you ride out into the country
the farmer extends the hand of fell
lowship, bids you welcome, and hands
you a hearty come again 1t is a
delightful characteristic of the man
from the farm, for his greeting is sim
GERS and his invitation is from the
heart, says the Illinois Merchants
Journal.
But what of you when the farmer
comes to town? Is your welcome on
the same high plane as his? Is he
made to feel and realize that your
smile is for him, and not for the con-
tents of his purse?
You of the town are proud of the
farmers of your community, and Of
their wives and their daughters. They
are men and women Of a high order
of intelligence, whose integrity Is be-
yond question, and whose thrift, and
energy, and perseverance is transform
ing our countryside into a hive of in
dustry and wealth. They are builders
one and all.
But we fear that we of the town are
often IOrget1ul OF the great duty tndl
we owe to them for their loyalty and
generosity in support of the local bust
ness community.
We ourselves know of the high re
gard in which we hold the farmers oil
the community, but we doubt if the
farmer knows Of the warm sentiments
which we entertain toward him. And
this is because we think much and
say too little. 1t should not be so.
Let us of the town cultivate a more
friendly and neighborly spirit, let vi
open up our hearts that the farmer
may look within, for we are but one
big family and should dwell together
in unity and brotherly love. Let vi
act as we feel, and give the farmer t.
understand that he is of us, as we'll al
with us.
We need each other, for the pros
porous farming community makes
live town, and the prosperity Of tn
town adds life and enjoyment to tn
countryside.

Washington, D. c., April 22.-Late
today the senate approved the house
bill repeating the free sugar section of
the tariff law, under which sugar
would have gone on the free list
May 1.
BY a vote of SO to 10 the senate re-
coded from an amendment which it
had passed extending the existing duty
which the house refused to agree to
in conference.
Democratic senators cast all of the
10 votes against supporting the house
measure, which provides for a flat re-
peal, thus extending the present duty
indefinitely. They were Senators Gore,
Hardwick, Hughes, Husting, Johnson
of South Dakota, Lane, MARITIME, Smith

democrats, finding the house unyield-
ing in it's stand for flat repeal, de-
cided at a caucus to yield and avert
any possibility of sugar going on the
free list even for limited period. The
senate debated the motion to recede
all day. Senator Hardwick declared
his democratic colleagues were forsak-
ing their promise for free sugar with
out justification, and Senator Thomas,
another democrat, said the proposal
meant granting a premium on the wa
tered stock of American sugar compa
MES.
Senator Kenyon, republican, quoting
free sugar speeches of democratic sen
ators in 1913, said he welcomed the
democrats into the republican protect
i've tariff fold. Chairman Simmons o
the finance committee replied that the
duty of 1 cent pound was not pro
tective duty, but under existing con
ditions a justifiable duty for revenue
only.

Faces Are Grave.

The impression of the note upon the
readers was a mixed one. Many faces
were grave as the readers perused the
long columns of the note. The COM
ment also was grave.
The North German Gazette, from
which an authoritative reflection of
the governments views can alone be
expected, did not comment on the
note. Other papers commented in
varying tones and sentiment toward
the United States, but generally with
out turbulence or abusive language.
All the newspapers apparently are de-
termined to approach the situation in
dignified and worthy manner Some
of the newspapers, including the Tage-
blatt, the Bourse Gazette and even the
Tages Zeitung, consider the POSSIBLE
ity of Germany attempting to meet
the American demands, but most OF
the writers evidently consider this diff
ficult.

STOLEN SECURITIES
AND Thief NABBEO
EDWARD J. QUIGLEY ASSERTS HE
PICKED UP THE SATCHEL
LEFT ON TRAIN
HAD FACE VALUE OF 100000
Man Taken on Suspicion of Being
Wanted in ST. Louis for Raising
Money Orders Proves Call
fornia Story Is Fake

Balitmore.-A man giving the name
of Edward j. Quigley, having in his
possession all the securities stolen on
a ferry boat at New York on February
20 is under arrest here.
The arrest was a piece of good luck
by the postal authorities. Quigley was
seized April 81 on suspicion of being
wanted in st. Louis for raising money
orders. An alleged confederate named
George F. Windall was arrested with
him, but is held on a technical charge.
Quigley fought against arrest, but was
.overpowered. His alleged confederate
submitted quietly.
Papers Valued at 100000
Quigley's grip contained a large
bundle of certificates of stock of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad,
New Yorw city stock and other secur-
tiles of aggregate face value of $400,-
O00 A sight draft for $4,000, drawn
on S. B. Chaplin & Co. of New York by
Smith, Lockhart & Co. of Baltimore
also was found in the satchel attached
to certificates for 100 shares of Union
Pacific and 100 shares of Northern
Pacific stock.
Chief Postoffice Inspector ]. G.
Rooms said he believed the satchel con-
tanned all the securities which had
been sent from Baltimore in the regis
tered mail pouches stolen on the New
York ferry boat
Says He Found SatcheI
Quigley said the satchel had been
left on the train by man and woman
who got off at Philadelphia, and that
he took it.
Quigley said he is SO years old and
lives in New York, but that he belongs
in Ridgefield Park, N. ]. Windall said
he met Quigley on the train.
This proves that the confession Civ
en- out at San Diego, Cal, by James
Moran after his surrender to officers
that he had been double-crossed anC
got religion, was all fake.

Still Under Consideration.

Berlin, April 26.-Prior to his de-
parture for headquarters to consult
with Emperor William, the submarine
issue and Germany's relations with the
United States were again under con-
sideration today by DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, theimperial chancellor, and
James w. Gerard, the American am
bassador.
No definite decision in the premises
apparently has yet been reached and
one probably will not eb arrived at I'M
til the chancellor reaches headquar-
ters tomorrow afternoon. All the sur
face indications, however, point more
and more to the probability that an
arrangement regarding the Sussex and
modus vivendi on the submarine
problem will be offered to the United
States and that a sincere endeavor to
reach an understanding will be made
from his side, putting the decision re-
garding the future status of relations
up to Washington.
