WASHINGTON. July 29 (Special.) Now
tl at tin' southern democracy ha triumphed
In It hastily consid-red legislation, which
i;in.' "amus commanded should be done.
It may n 1 1o nut of plac to illspa atonately
review what thi mounted and militant ma
jority In the lower house accomplished and
n;tned to accomplish.
With reciprocity off the way and sail
ing In mitimrr aeas toward "our Klster of
the Snows," the rest of the legislation en
ilenvorod to bo iut over by the house demo-i-rata
reminds one of Gllbert'a line, "a thing
of nil redo and patches."
The so-called farmer's free Hat bill looks
a If It had len edited by the janitor of
an office building with a meat axe. Then,
ni the Interests uf the various constituent
I erame more acute, a longer time was
ulven to consideration of the woolen and
otton schedules. Home of the democrats,
particularly of the northern brand, being
Interested In the raising; of aheep and the
fabricating; of the fleece, the happy-go-lucky
style of legislation was abandoned
for a serious discussion of reduction In the
duties on wool and woolen goods. The !
ways and means committee took a month
, to consider the woolen schedule before It
was reported to King Caucus. Nearly eight
S weeks have been given to the considera
tion of the cotton schedule, the one sched
ule In Which the south Is most vitally In
terested, the reductions In this schedule
txlng. In the very nature of things, less
than In any of the other schedules which
the ways and means committee formulated.
" And why not? Is not the south the great
est beneficiary under this schedule?
Boutk la the "addle.
Early tn the extraordinary session of this
congress the dominance of the south was
ptedlcted, but no one was bold enough to
prophesy to what extent thia domination
would go. Although the north had elected
many democrats, no northern candidate
for the speakership was even hinted at,
Champ Clark. Kentucky-bred and Missouri-domiciled,
being the lone leader to
receive the support of the majority, with
Vnderwood of Georgia slated for chair
man ot the ways and mean committee
months tn advance of -the convening of the
Sixty-second congress In extra session. '
Not content, however, with following, oa
I hi out-and-drted program, King. Caucus
was enthroned with all the panoply and
circumstance ueua) In democratic assem
blages, and he has been the Instrument, not
only In mapping out democratic policies
and measures, but his rule ha prevented
Independent action on the part of Ita mem
bership as presided over by Burleson of
Texas. - . i .
Having made the fight against the con
tinuance of the power of the speaker, it
became necessary to give that power Into
the hands of a body of men. Instead of a
single Individual, and in consequence the
rules and policy adopted gave almost arbi
trary power to the caucus and the ways
and means committee, which is being ex
ercised so that republican insurgents, who
or the last few years have refused to fol-
' low party leadership or party caucus, now
stand aghast at the subservience ot demo
crat? with whom they used to co-operate
on occasion.
Control af . Committers.
But the dominion of the south Is not
alone seen In the speaker or the chairman
of the ways and means committee, but In
V the chairmen of the leading committees of
i the house. Of the thtrty-flv Important
committees of the lower branch of con
) greas, thirty-one are . presided, over by
southerners, and these committees, with
but few exceptions, have a majority of
democratic member hailing from the
south. A number of minor committees
have chairmen from the north, and a few
other chairmen from the south Are at the
head of minor committees.
Only four Important chairmanships are
accorded to the north, as follows: Approp
riations, John J. .Fltigerald of New Tork.
but he finds himself In company with nine
uthern members out of a total of four
teen domocrata on the committee. For
eign affairs, William Sulser of New Tork,
and he finds alx democratic members from
the aouth there with him. Invalid pensions,
Isaac R. Sherwood of .Ohio, and Labor.
William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania.

Canada Will Elect
New Parliament
in September
Order of Dissolution Issued Saturday
Afternoon Reciprocity Issue is
Thus Put Up to Electors.
OTTAWA. Ont., July 29. Parliament wa
1 dissolved this afternoon. Nomination are
fixed for September 14 and election for
September a.
The dissolution of the Canadian Parlia
ment carries the question of reciprocity be
tween the United States and Canada be
fore the Canadian electorate, where the
reciprocity Issue, from this time to the
election on September 21. will be the con
trolling Issue. The announcement of dis
solution was a fulfillment of Premier
Laurler'a ultimatum delivered to the oppo
sition forces last Monday, that continued
resistance to a vote would be met by an
appeal to the country.
The present liberal government has a
large majority in the Dominion Parliament,
but the absence of a cloture rule has made
It impossible to secure a vote by which this
majority could adopt the reciprocity meas
ure. In the event of success of the liberal
party at the polls tn September, the new
Parliament will at once pans the reciprocity
measure, whereas a defeat of the liberals
will mean the passing of Premier Laurier
and the permanent shelving of reciprocity
between the United Btates and Canada.
The present House of Commons consists
of 133, liberals, 85 conservatives and 3 In
dependents.

Tennessee Coal A iron stock as collateral,
was today revealed to the steel trust In
vestigating committee by Lewis Case
Ledyard.
Representative Littleton asked Mr.
Ledyard about the nature of Moore &
Schley' loan. He said
"The firm of J. Plerpont Morgan A
Co. had loaned the firm a considerable
sum."
"Was it secured by Tennessee Coal &.
Iron stock?" asked Mr. Littleton.
"Yes, It was, but the Morgan firm had
never bothered Moore' & Schley and did
not call the loan."
"There never was a more Infamous
outrage than the suggestion that has been
made that either Mr. Morgan or the
United States Steel corporation brought
about, engineered, or inspired an attack
on the Tennessee Coal A Iron company.
Such a thing Is absolutely false," said
Mr. Ledyard.
Mr. LedvaM mnri a d.fan.. , i,
absorbtlon of the-Tennessee company and j
saia ne never saw anything illegal In !
He said:
"Since the recent decisions of our
learned chief Justice, I am more than ever
convinced that It was not illegal."
Payne. Originated Scheme.
Lewis Case Ledyard, counsel for Oliver
Payne, who was one of the syndicate
which owned the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company, told the committee today that
his client, Mr. Payne, wa the first to
suggest the acquisition of the Tennessee
( tcnpany Dy me united States Steel cor
poration in 11)07.
Mr. Ledyard declared that he never
represented the Tennessee syndicate In
the negotiation, leading . up to that
transaction, nor did he ever act as coun
sel for the firm of Moore & Schley, or
Grant B. 8chley of that firm.
' Mr.. Ledyard told .the, committee at th
outset that he was the first man to In
form J. Plerpont Morgan of the threat
ening condition of the firm of Moore 4
Schley; because of - excessive loans on
Tennessee stocks, and that he asked Mr.
Morgan on request of Mr. Payne to seek
to have the United States Steel- corpora
tion come to Moore A Schley's rescue.
'The first I knew about this trouble was
during the last week In October, 1907." Mr
Ledyard said. "Mr. Payne told me that
Moor A Schley was likely to get Into deep
trouble.
"Mr. Payne suggested that it would be
well for me to see Mr.' Morgan and ask
him to put the proposition to take over
the Tennessee company up to he United
States Steel corporation.
"That I did." The witness said he went
to Mr. Morgan' house and told him what
was going on.
Meettagr at Morgraa'a Hoaaa.
"Mr.- Morgan declared that it would be
serious to let Moore A Schley go and after
I suggested the United States Steel cor
poration be called in he said that we ahnuld
get Judge Gary and Mr. Frick. Mr, Gary
came right over ' to Mr. Morgan's house.
Later Mr. Prick came and the whole situa
tion was made known. '
"I went Into another room," Mr. Led
yard continued, "while Mr. Morgan. Mr.
Gary and Mr. Frick had a conference. I
do not know what was said there. I do
know, however, that Judge Gary expressed
great reluctance in taking over the Tennea-
j see Coal and Iron company. He did not
! think It was necessary and I recall that
! he offered to loan Moore A Schlev ta.ofrvorin
That, he was told by Mr. Schley, would be
perfectly useless."
The firm, accordlnr to Mr. Ledvar t,.
other loans which the banks were anxious I
about
The witness related In detail the de
velopments which followed the final agree
ment and the trip of Judge Gary and H. C.
Frick to .Washington to see President
Roosevelt.
Say Frick Waa Criticised.
"Just before, the judge and Mr. Frick
left Mr. Morgan's house," said Mr. Led
yard, "Mr. Frick came to me and said: 'I
don't think that we ought to put v this
transaction through unless the situation
ran be entirely saved.' He meant that the
deal should Include some assurance to
take rare of various trust companies In
volved. . I told him I did not see how that
could be done. I was with Mr. Morgan all
that night talking the situation over. He
told me to come back the next day and
late that day we heard over the telephone
that Mr. Gary bad learned from the gov
ernment that there would be no objection
to the deal."
Mr. Littleton asked the witness particu
larly with refeience to the origin of the
trouble, whether it waa caused by specu
lation In the Tennessee Coal A Iron syn
dicate, or free stocks.
"I want to find out In thia transaction,"
Mr. Littleton said, "whether It was a
case of the tall wagging the dog."
"Mr. Littleton," said Mr. Ledyard, slap
ping the table, . "It was neither a case of
the tail wagging the dog or the dog wag
ging the tall. It waa the effort of Moore
A Schley and their friends to save them
selves from ruin the only possible way they
could do it. That waa all there was to It."

Ootton refislon bill debate continued.
Representative Hull of Tsnaesse aft
tacked tariff board a device to delay
revision.
Congress asked for 925,000 more to
rat the wreck of the Maine,
WASHINGTON. July 29 Democratic
leaders In congress were still wondering
whether the president would s!gn or veto
the wool bill, the crucial measure In the
democratlc-insurKent republican campaign
for wider revision of the tariff. Despita
the determination to veto the bill unequivo
cally accredited to the president by thosei,
who have conferred with him, democratlo
leader today expressed the opinion that he
might approve the measure. Speaker
Clark of the house 1 one of those who
believe the president will sign ths bill.
"I believe," said the speaker today, "that
the senate and house conferees will get
together on wool and I hope and believe
that the president will sign such a bill a
may be agreed on In the conference. ' I be
lieve that the senate will pass the free
list bill, perhaps with some amendments,
and I hope It will pass the other tariff
schedules."
"The house of representatives I ''abso
lutely opposed to the wool tariff bill as it
passed the senate, '' said Democratlo
leader Underwood of the house, today.
"There Is no possibility of the bill being
agreed to by the house."
Democrats Counting; Noses.
In the event the president should veto
the final conference wool bill, the demo
cratic leaders will begin calculations as
1 to whether the bill can be passed by tho
j house over the president's veto. The Vn
! derwood bill passed the house on June 20
by a vote of t0 to 100. But to pass over a
veto, two-thirds of the house membership
of 391 must vote for the bill. This would
be 261 or forty-one more than went on
record for the original bill In the house.
There Is nothing so far to warrant -wuiC
(ing upon the muster of any such added
strength. !
House democrats-expressed the view to
day that If the president la to veto a wool
bill, they would prefer to have him veto
a democratlo bill than an Insurgent republican-democratic
compromise measure.
Mouse Will Reject Bill.
The house will not be In a hurry to
ask for a conference. The senate wool
bill, when it is taken up In the house
next week, will be promptly rejected and
sent back to the senate. It will remain
for that body to ask for a conference com
mittee. Many democrats are urging con
ciliation and compromise with the idea of
forcing President Taft to pass upon a wool
tariff bill at once.
The democratic .senators are discuss
ing the desirability of holding a caucus
Monday night to insure the genersl ac
ceptance of the house farmers' free list
bill. The democratic leader have asked
the republican Insurgents not to offer
general schedules tn the way of amend
ments to the bill and most of them have
consented with the Idea that it Is better
policy not to enciynber the free list
measure with extraeous matter. It 1
claimed by the coalition that the bill will
pas without difficulty.
' Hoasa Coatlnoea Debate.
Debate on the cotton tariff revision
bill continued In the house today. No
agreement for a vote on the measure wa
reached, but Democratic trader Under
wood said he would insist on the vote
being taken not later than next Thursday.
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
democrat, denounced the republican party
attitude toward the tariff. "I deatre,"
he said, "to brand this latest tariff board
device as premeditated hypocrisy and ag-
gravated false pretense."
He contended that the board was a "po-
y-
Taith in advertisingr"
is a common expression,
but an idiotic one.
Advertising does not
need, faith behind it. It
needs common sense.
When people - send their
children to school they know
that If the ordinary methods
of teaching are followed the
child will learn. If the ordi
nary methods of advertising are
followed the public will like
wise learn of your good and
your store.
ADVERTISING IS NO MORE
OF A GAMBLE THAN TEACH
ING. The putflic, however, won't
learn much from you If you
talk to them only once In a
while. Talk to them every day
and they are bound to know
you, your gtore and your goods.
You have the power to compel
them.
