sentatives of his State are playing
up to" this leader included the follow
ing:
Agricultural bloc. (which is doing
more to turn voters away from the
Republican party than any other
single element in the country"
Soldier organizations made UP Of
a minority OF ex-service men who
are demanding a bonus (which is
decidedly unpopular among the
heavier taxation"
Anti Saloon League, (which has
done more to destroy the influence
of the leaders Of both parties than
any previous political enterprise"
Business organizations. (which
are seeking special privileges in the
way of tariff concessions that will
make for unpopular higher prices
everywhere"
Various labor groups, (which,
without any regard for each other,
are attempting to coerce candidates
to support policies antagonistic to
: those of the major political parties"
Women voters who, without
definite or general plans, insist on
the acceptance as issues of fads
which will destroy the power of the
leaders of both parties if granted"
Further Decentralization Feared.
Some of the outside leaders who
have conferred with the President and
the few Senators and Representatives
who have not completely surrendered
tc proposals set up by groups express
the opinion that the Decentralization
existing in both parties will become
aggravated unless firmer adherence to
fundamental party policies are de-
manded of candidates for Office who
call themselves Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, but who are. in fact, neither one
nor the other.
1t is the consensus of outside leaders
that too much latitude has Been given
Senators and Representatives elected
as organization Republicans or Demo-
Gratis and too great Indulgence shown
in condoning their deals with minority
elements in their respective States or
districts.
The President is teld responsible in
part for this condition of affairs. His
disinclination to assume the role OF
party leader imposed on him by his
election has been seized upon by Sena-
tors and Representatives of his party
to pander to groups that claim, but
really possess little If any, political
power to award or punish.
1t is an unmistakable fact that In
discussions of their individual plans
for reelection few IL any of the Sena-
tors and Representatives appear tc
attach any Importance to the leader

be muck more concerned whether their
vote for or against a legislative meas

NORTHCLIFFE FINDS
PROSPERITY ON RHINE

LONDON, June (Monday).-The
Times announces that Lord Northcliffe
has just finished an incognito tour of
the Rhineland, using pseudonym be-
cause of German animosity towards HIM
owing to his work as director of propa-
ganda during the war.
Lord Northcliffe considers the pros
perity of the Rhineland equal to that of
any country in the world, and describes
the birth rate as terrific" He be-
lieves that the example of the British,
American and French armies OF occupa-
ton has been to remove the brusque
manner which Germans formerly dis
played toward foreigners.

Why We Need A Tariff

A tariff on foreign pro-
ducts imported into this
country is prim arily a
wall erected around the
country for the protection
of its workmen and its
industries.
BY protecting the coun-
try's industries the tariff
protects the American
workman and enables him
to maintain a decent
standard Of living. This
is an objective with which
no self-respecting citizen
can quarrel.
The tariff protects the
citizens at large by shut
ting out Of the country

which, generally speak
ing, are in no way COM

portant leaders of the Senate who is
a candidate for reelection the writer
called his attention to the fact. in
enumerating the elements whose favor
re is seeking or whose disapproval he
fears. that he had overlooked the plat
form adopted by the Republican party
at Chicago two years ago. The Sena-
tor explained the omission by saying:
"Of course the Harding Administra-
ton has done a lot of good things. At
the same time l know the voters in
my State are dissatisfied with the
present condition Of affairs. Whether
he is responsible for this or Congress
is beside the mark. l have got to
nurse the disgruntled voters even If I
seem to be little bit antagonistic to
the Administration.
i've swallowed this tariff thing be-
cause some Of the business interests Of
my State demand it. I am going to
vote for the bonus bill because may
need the soldier vote. If l was not a
candidate for reelection / would vote
against it. / have got to keep the
labor crowd in a good humor. The
farmers do not trouble me. l have got
to make love to the women because
the man who is going to run against
me is doing it.
Going with the Tide.
The big thing with me and every
other man who is running for reelec-
tion this time Is to keep from offnding
anybody regardless of the effect on the
Administration or anybody else. If
all the candidates of my party would
take firm position against group in
fluences / would do the same thing.
AS it is now. I frankly confess that I
am going with the tide.
1T would help matters very much
if the tariff, the bonus and the ship
subsidy bills were set aside and Con-
gress adjourned at once. But, like
most OF my associates. I am afraid
to propose such a thing until my
people get what they want. OF course
i am for the time honored policies of
of the major organizations sets up a
higher standard of political morals I
have got to follow the rest"
Several Republican Senators who
are following the rest are Lodge
(Mass.), majority leader of the upper
House; Mclean OF Connecticut. Hale
of Maine. McCumber of North Dakota,
Townsend of Michigan. Johnson of
California, Kellogg OF Minnesota and
Poindexter of Washington. Among
those Senators who have instanced
courage in adhering to the traditional
policies of the party-according to the
outside leaders-are Calder of New
York. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey
Du Pont Of Delaware and Page OF
Vermont.
The Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives seeking reelection are
completely reconciled to the grouT
idea. Being entirely without leader
ship or a definite program, they are
encouraging the noisy minorities In
their respective States to demand the
maximum of concessions from Their
Republican opponents on the theory
tha. I'VE have nothing TO lose and
everything to gain"

He Lacks Support of Party
Organization in the
Counties.
RURAL VOTERS ARE COLD
In Almost Every Community
Old Friends Do Not Take
Him in Charge.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
JEFFERSON CITY, June A. Tie fight
for it's Democratic nomination to the
United States Senate is one Of the
most intense in the history of Mis-
souri, politics. which has many in
teresting battles to it's credit. The
alignments this year are very differ
ent, from those of previous years
Senator James A. Reed is fighting
with his back to the wall. Even his
best friends admit that fact. His
chief opponent is Breckenridge Long.
formerly TEird Assistant Secretary of
State under President Wilson. who
has long been identified with the State
organization.
Senator Reed faces practically the
solid opposition Of all women voters
in the State because of his opposition
to equal suffrage and the mothers
bill in Congress. This. added to the
fact that the party organization in
the 104 counties In the State opposes
him almost to man, indicates what
may happen in the rural districts.
Senator Reed has made some thirty or
more speeches already in the campaign.
and 1t may be he has gained some votes
by them, but this is not believed to be
true by persons who claim to be in
close touch with the situation. 1t is
noticeable that in almost every COM
munity Senator Reeds old friends are
not the ones who take him in charge
or make arrangements for his meetings
This fact is telling on the Senator, who
is showing the strain under which he
is laboring.
The crowds which hear Senator Reed
have been of good size at most places
but the opinion prevails generally that
he is gaining but little II any in the
rural districts.
Reed May Carry Home County.
1t is generally admitted that Kansas
City and Jackson county, the home of
Senator Reed. will give him plurality
ranging from 1000 to 10000. In st. Louis
the vote vii, be close. with margin in
favor of Breckenridge Long, who is sup
posed to have a majority of the organ
ization in the twenty-eight wards. Many
of the largest wards are already open
in their support Of Long.
Senator Reeds strength in the rural
districts lies largely in the counties with
large German population, which are
largely Republican. 1t is conceded he
will get majority of votes in the
counties of Franklin. Gasconade, Knox,
Usage, st. Charles, Ste. Genevieve and
Warren. which cast a total Of 3SlS
Democratic votes in the primary elec-
tion of 1890.
In Pike county the vote Is expected
to be closer than in most other Demo-
cratic communities, because this is the
home of Ed A. Glenn. one of the State s
most adroit politicians, who is manag-
ing the Senator's campaign. In other
large counties. with the exception of
Randolph. there is no contention as to
| the result and estimates vary as ia

easily be estimated at two-thirds in

Man first had an opportunity to call
"headS or tails" more than 2,200 years
ago, when the practice Of stamping a
head on coins was instituted by the
Greeks, with the likeness of Alexander
the Great. Some of these ancient
Greek coins are valuable as art OBJ
jects alone, the enclosing being Of
rare workmanship and surprising any
thing to be seen on the coinage of
today. 1t Is naturally an example of
the great height which Greek culture
reached in that day. The course of
civilization, in fact, can easily be
traced in these ancient coins. Roman
coinage, some of which bears the
head of Nero, is not equal in beauty
to that Of the Greeks, but nevertheless
shows high quality of art. But the
money of the succeeding Dark ages
is crude in the extreme, and even the
English 10-cent piece Of 1000 A. D.
is childishly primitive in comparison

WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom Of Burmese Tribe Leads 10
Marriages Between Extreme Old
AGE and Youth.

The only occasions on which lads
and lassles Of the Red Karen tribe In
Burma meet are at marriage reasis
and at wakes, according 10 the Ma
;ional Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights, ana
are voritable orgies, with great ex-
cess Of eating and drinking. Both
sexes are wellseasoned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often in unions where husband
and wife are Of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy, or
the ether way about.
Punishment for marriage out OF the
clans was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and
log placed across II, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends Of
these were noosed round the necks
Of the offending pair. They were
made to jump into the pit, and so hang
themselves.
Now they are accommodated in
stead, and never allowed to enter a
Karen village again. The two vii
lagos of Kara in the Nan-kwO circle
ore said to be inhabited entirely by
such clipping couples.

sponus EIsherles.

I There are large sponge fisheries
along the shores Of Greece, certain
parts of the Adriatic sea, as well as
on the coasts Of Trlpoll and Tunis;
but the worlds best sponges come
from Syria. In the well-equipped
fisheries the divers so down into the
sea for the sponges, dressed in cork
jackets, or by means of diving bells;
but, In many places they descend from
boats. to pull the sponges from the
rocks; for as long time as they can
remain under water. Long tridents
are sometimes used to diSlodge the
spongeS, but this practice is apt to
tear the soft structures and irjure
them. Hand picking is the usual
method. After being gathered, the
sponges are well beaten and washed,
to rid them of the black coating and
jelly-like substance which cling to
them. Finally, they are bleached,
graded, packed. and shipped to all
parts of the world.

Eyes That Always stare.

Continental Europe boasts of an
owl Of such stature and habit that 1t
has been named the eagle-owl. The
bird has an eye like an eagle and a.
look like an owl. The owl look is EN-
phasized by the fact that the eyes of
this natural tield-pest destroyer have
never been known to move during
life They cannot be moved after
death.
The immovable eyeball Of this giant
owl has caused two German anatomists
TO examine the musculature Of the
organ with a view toward ascertain
Ing the why Of the steady scrutiny
But the vacant stare of the wise OLD
owl still remains a secret except to
the sophisticated bird The anatomists
found the usual six muscles that con
troll the movements Of the eyes Of ami
mails. The surmise is that from con.
tinued staring and resulting non-use
the muscles have become functionless.
The three pairs of muscles OF the
eagle-owls eye, all in balance and
inmovable, suggest a locomotives
diving wheel on dead center.

GOT HIS RECEIPT.

It's good idea to always take 4
receipt for money paid out, then IN
the future, should any misundcr-

an amicable adjuster. AS an Illus

the following story.

receipt was unnecessary. Must

many lack the keener sense of
thought to know why beauty should
also prevail. The school buildings
