1 asked what made him think so.
You see," he explained whim-
sically, during the Lafayette
celebration in the United States, I
was asked to deliver a message
to the American people by radio.
And I was cut of. Too much
static or something. I talked into
the microphone over here, but
nothing came out Of the loud
speakers over there"
DRING me my radio speech of
ID May s." said NJ. Barthou to
his secretary. When it was hand
ed to him he turned it over to me
with another of his quick smiles.
There is the speech-my own
Inflated original copy. Perhaps
you may have occasion to deliver
1t for me-"
The speech. of course, was
largely about Lafayette and Wash
ington. and the traditional friend
ship between his country and
America. Like France, America
always had fought for human
liberty.
Today. he said. as both countries
face difficulties of another sort,
they continue to fight for those
same liberties.
1t is in that tried concept Of
liberty" he explained, that
America today pursues her i'm
mense task. And it is with adj
miration that we measure the diff
ficulties and the greatness of the
things being accomplished by your
illustrious President. Prosperity
can not fail TO respond to such
puissant leadership :"
American citizens: Rest assured
no Frenchman will ever forget the
decisive aid given by the United
States to France in her darkest
hour. Should any one tell you
differently. refuse TO believe him.
Listen to my voice. 1t is that
of an old friend. 1t is not the for
eign minister of France that
speaks to you tonight, but my en-
tire life"

PAINT HALTS DISEASE
Physician Tells of Fever Decrease
After Coating Hospital Walls.

DR.. Max Starkloff, more than
thirty years health commissioner of
st. Louis, cites an incident where
more than 100 lives probably were
saved because the application of
paint to walls left no place for
disease to propagate.
I'm hospital of which L had
knowledge" says DR.. Starkloff,
there we're, in given period, more
than 100 cases of puerperal fever,
with a high death rate. After the
walls were painted, it was noted
that in a similar length of time,
cases of puerperal fever almost
we're unknown. Undoubtedly paint
was largely responsible for this saw
ing of many lives"

not possess collateral which would
be accepted by banks as security for

Accordingly, this large majority,

The Economy Rule.
(New York Times.)


 After violent protests, and the revolt of eighty four Democratic members of the House, the Ad- minstration forces able to adopt, though only by majority of five votes, a rule governing the passage of appropriation bills Its immediate ap- lplication to the Independent Offices Bill then before the House but one clause made it also ap- plicabe to any section of any general appropra- ton bill of the Seventy third Congress" What it does is to provide that mo amendments motions Ito strike shall be in order" except such proposed by the Committee Appropriations. The leffect is plain It retains absolute control of ap- appropriations in the hands of the majority represented on the committee. So doing, it virtually adopts the procedure of the House of Commons, where all money bills" introduced by the Government and be changed in any way except by its consent lOf course the Government could be outvoted, but then if it had made the question one of con- fidence, it would have to resign. The British prac
 ce has been found to be necessary in order to keep the budget balanced; and undoubtedly the same motive has actuated the President and the Demo- cratic leaders of the House in taking this early lstep to ward off raids upon the Treasury.
 Unhappiy, no rule of the House of Represen- tatives is binding upon the Senate For years the appropriation bills passed by the House have been subject to surgical operations by Senators It has in fact been their boast that their power to amend meant power to alter beyond all recognition. Ex- 1travagances defeated in the House have too often found aid and comfort in the Senate. There is no treason to suppose that this process will at once lcease. Yet the rule adopted by the House. if it is lived up to- will give to it's members. when disputed bills sent to conference, argumest, and perhaps new power, in resisting amendments pro- posed by Senate committees and meekly adopted Iby the Senate The House rule denounced as la gag, but if it effectualy gags vociferous mem bers clamoring for swollen expenditures it will have vndicated itself It is, at any rate a grateful earnest, at the very beginning of the session, of the intention of the Administration to practice as well as preach economy.

The Poor Cant Pay.
(New York World Telegraph

Some people throw their hats into the air and cheer the Government for spending money to make jobs and business, but when it to paying the tax bill for recovery they whine
 Just of the rich folk complaining about the income tax They, along with many politicians want a general sales tax, instead The income tax is designed to make the for tunate bear the chief burden of the Government under which their good fortune has been achieved The sales tax is designed to make the poor people pay for the maintenance of government which has been unable or unsuccessful in pro- tecting them from the conditions which brought about their poverty.
 | graduated income tax is just because it is based on the principle of capacity to pay. general lcipe.
 | sales tax is vicious because it is indirect and unseen, inviting pyramiding and profiteering | It is tax of last resort evil to be em- braced only when all other sources of fail l It is especially pernicious in times of depres- sion when it destroys the peoples purchasing power upon which recovery depends. Manufacturers and merchants have difficulty in moving goods rapidly today because too few customers afford tc that much more.
 The full absurdity of the current sales taz proposal is exposed by the fact that millions oi city families and more millions of farm families today able to live only by Government dole of one kind or another
 The bright idea of the sales taxers is for the Government to give money to these millions wtt one hand and then take back the money with the other hand; in other words, the idea is for the Government to tax itself.
 Fortunately, the general sales tax plan which mortified MT. Roosevelt when it last presented
 has little chance of becoming law under th: Administration.

 The then young publisher spent thousands Of dollars and by 1895 his newspaper was practically insolvent Loans at the bank were extended and even expanded because the bankers felt they would profit little by foreclosure and proceedings. There was a chance, they reasoned, that they might get their money back if the publishers faith in his enterprise were well founded. This proved to be the case the newspaper became prosperous and eventually financially independent
