SHREWD IDEA IN POLITICS
on Letter Heads Was a Popular
Thing In 1840.

Back In the early days Of the re-
public 1t was considered fine idea
to decorate paper with the portraits
Of presidential candidates. In this way
the letter writer showed not only his
preference, but tried to influence his
correspondents for his candidate, re-
marks the New York Sun. "A fine ex-
ample Of this sort Of political propa-
ganda was unearthed recently In New
York. 1t dates back to 1910, when
William Henry Harrison was running
for president on the Whig ticket
against Martin Van Buren, Democrat.
The letterhead shows the two sides
Of the gold medal awarded by con-
gress to General Harrison for his serv-
ices In the War Of 1912. The picture
to the left shows a medallion portrait
Of General Harrison. while the one at
the right depicts the Goddess Of Lib
erty, armed with spear, placing a
wreath Of laurel on an Indian tepee.
This latter was intended as q COM
pliment to the general for his success

dians.

ton Of congress eonferring the med

TRADE is DULL

Toxic, August 14.-The trade be-
tween this country and the United
States is gradually becoming dull, due
to the financial panic which makes
cargo movements inactive. Japanese
ships plying between Japanese and
American ports are carrying very
limited cargoes on both inward and
outward trips, especially the former.
The dull shipments on the home
ward trip of the ships is mainly due
to the cancellation of orders previous
ly contracted for by Japanese import
ers who had to resort to cancellation
because of the financial depression and
tight money situation.

Profitable companionship.

Among the most curious and inter

pertaining to the mutual relationships
Of common organisms. Two plants,
two animals, or a plant and an ami
NAL, may live together for their mu-
tual benefit. Very often one Of the
partners gets food for the combination,
while the other receives protection.
This is the arrangement that subsists

In their hollow stems, and In return

SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM
Eminent. Authorities Have Gone on
Record, Though II Has Been
Subject OF Dispute.

Aristotle's history OF animals de-
clares that horses, oxen, sheep. goats,
dogs and all viviparous quadrupeds
dream. Pliny. In his natural history
specifies the same animals Button
describes the dreams of animals. Mac
nish calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear In their sleep,
and affirms that cows and sheep, es-
pecialiy at the period Of rearing their
young, dream.
Darwin, In the descent Of Man."
says that dogs, cats, horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds, as is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams, and this is shown
by their movements and voice"
George John Romanes, in his Men
tai Evolution In Animals" says that
the fact that dogs dream is proven
bial, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius,
and furnishes proof from DR.. Lauder
Lindsay. an eminent authority, that
horses dream. Bechstein holds that
the bullfinch dreams, and gives a case
where the dream took on the char
acter of a nightmare, and the bird fell
from its perch, and four great author
tiles say that dreaming becomes so
vivid as to lead to somnamOulism.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION
COMES UP TUESDAY

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 14.-Leaders
in the North Carolina legislature
were of the opinion today that neith-
er the senate nor the house would
vote before Tuesday on ratification of
the Federal Suffrage amendment.
1t was predicted that action would
be taken first in the senate probably
Tuesday, and that if the ratification
resolution introduced yesterday were
adopted there it would then be con-
sidered by the house where, it was
expected, a bitter, close battle would
occur.
Suffrage advocates, encouraged by
Governor Bickett's message urging
ratification and the favorable report
by a sacrifice of the resolution, were
confident today of success in the SEN
ate. Some Of them were bit dubious
about house. Sixty-three of the 12O
members OF the house signed the tele-
gram sent to the Tennessee legisla-
ture urging it to defeat the suffrage
resolution.
Anti-suffragists said they. felt GER
tain all those who signed the tele-
gram would vote against ratification.
thus assuring defeat of the resolu-
tion. Suffrage opponents also claim
ed they would be able to break into
the suffrage strength in the senate,
and predictions were made that the
suffrage resolution never would reach
the house.
Ratification resolution were intro
duced yesterday in both houses, Sena-
tor Scales, Democrat, called on the
senate to ratify, while the house reso-
luton was introduced by Representa-
tive Williams, Republican leader.
The house resolution was still in COM
mittee today, and leaders of the op-
position said it probably would be
left there. The house, they predict
ed, will await action in the senate,
and if it is favorable, will act on the
senate resolution instead of it's own.
Suffragists declared today that an
effort was being made to delay action
here with a view of waiting to see
what action is taken on suffrage by
the Tennessee legislature.

VOTE DELAYED
UNTIL MONDAY

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 13.-Al-
though it was considered probable
that the Tennessee senate would vote
today on ratification of the Federal
Woman Suffrage Amendment, the
house was expected to delay action
until next week. y
Party leaders had planned to bring
the joint suffrage resolution to a vote
today in both houses, but the house
committee to which the resolution had
been referred announced late last
night that it would not report until
Monday. The senate committee, how
ever, after a joint hearing ON the rati-
fication pt posal, said favorable re-
port would be returned today, thus
clearing the way for immediate action
on the resolution in the senate.
Suffrage advocates today were con-
ditional accessions to their strength in
both houses and said they would have
seven votes to spare in the senate and
ten in the house. They were encour-
aged by prediction last night of
Governor Roberts, who called the
special session of the legislature and
has been active in the fight for rati-
fication, that the suffrage resolution
would be adopted by both houses Gun
less something miraculous occurred" !"
Opponents Of ratification, however,
continued today to predict defeat Of
the resolution. They declared their
ranks were holding firm, and .ex-
pressed confidence especially in the
outcome in the house, where, they de-
clared majority are hostile to fed
eral suffrage.
If the suffrage resolution is adopted
by the senate, it will go to the house
TO lay over one day before a vote can
be taken. Suffragists said an effort
might be made to suspend the rules
in the house, bringing the resolution
up for immediate consideration.
Reports were persistent that oppon-
ents Of ratification would attempt a
fi1ibuster. Speakers of both houses,
however, declared they would not per-
NIT unnecessary delay.
