WILSON READY FOR TEST.
President Even Anxious for Clash with
Congress.

Washington, Feb. 29.-The admnistra-
ton will welcome vote on the Gore res
olution in the Senate or upon any meas
out with the president whether the rep
resentatives of the people in Congress
win stand by him in his declaration that
Germany must refrain from sinking
armed merchantmen without warning or
suffer break with the United States,
the influence of the White House will be
exerted no longer to prevent such test.
In fact administration men in both
branches may encourage the Goreites,
Bryanites, pro- Germans and pacifsts to
do their worst. The international situa-
tion is a tense one and the president de-
sires to learn quickly on whom he can
depend in Congress and on whom he can
not. Or, to put it another way, the men
who have sought to embarrass the pres
ident in his efforts to defend neutral
rights, protect American citizens and at
the same time avoid break with Ger
many, must 20 on record. With intiama-
tory resolution hanging fire in both
branches, incendiary talk may continue
among certain inspired gen
tlemen and the attention of Congress be
directed away from its legitimate work
to issues with which Congress has moth
ing to do.
1t may be needless TO say that no reso-
luton repudiating the president can pass
either branch OF Congress. Last week /
closed with members of both branches,
the House, running around /
in circles trying to avoid the fire of
blazing criticism that has been poured
upon Washington from the press and
people of the country when it became
known that Congress was plotting to
betray the president. A number of rau
,ous voices on capitol hill grew silent,
and when the whips had counted up the
forces, they found that majority in
both branches would stand by the presi
lent to the last ditch. Now the admins
ration is eager for record vote and the
frightened disturbers OF the peace are
rying to stave one off.

directions with Pinex. 1t keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
II takes hold OF the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers II in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly IL
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inhamed mem
branes in the case of q painful cough.
it also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol and has been
used. for generations to heal inhamed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment ask your

Are Medicines Liquors?

certain class of prejudiced and jesl-
Gus doctors call patent medicines only
alcoholic beverages. They will tell you
that such and such a medicine contains
as much alcohol as glass of beer or a
certain quantity of whiskey; but they do
not mention that the beer or whiskey is
swallowed at one drsught, while only a
small quantity of the medicine is taken
at one dose At the same timeS they VIII
use alcohol quite as freely andNmany in
four or five times as great proportions
in their own prescriptions
Such standard remedies as Lydia +.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use bare
ly enough alcohol TO preserve the root
and herb extractives, too little to have
injurious effects; and the medicine can be
had, if desired, in non-alcoholic form.

Democratic Leaders Already
Are Framing Such a

Of Increasing Revenue-The
Size of the Tax Not
Yet Decided

Washington, Feb. 2o.-That heavy
additional income tax will be the chief
reliance of the Democrats TO raise reye.

Senate. As soon as the principal ap.

from representatives and senator's indi-
cate that opinions as TO the extent of
the income tax vary widely, some plac.
ing it at II per cent, Others as high as

The main trouble with the income tax
as revenue producer is that the rev.

1909 persons who receive net income
of at least $4,000, making net taxable

TO be onetwentieth of the total national

MRS. WILSON NAMED
AS QUEEN OF FASHIONS
Milliner, in Lecture in Pittsburg, Sug-
gests Her as the Worlds
Leader.

Pittsburg, Feb. EFF for no other
reason than that they want Mrs. Wilson
in the White House, all the milliners Of
this country are eager for the reelection
of President Wilson. This assertion was
made yesterday by Ora Cue OF New York
in lecture here. He is an authority on
millinery.
For the first time in many years wa
have presidents wife young enough
and wealthy enough to afford taste for
leading fashions,
lit would take money to set the
worlds fashions, but Mrs. Wilson is UNI
derstood to have half million in her
own right.
"The situation is this: There will be
no permanent leader of fashions unless
the king OF England should die and the
prince of Wales were to marry some
wealthy girl with taste for
dress, All that is improbable so it's
Mrs. Wilson or nobody"

strength of the British fleet, he said,
