Guaranty Not Yet Ready. Although the bank guaranty law is now technically in effect, the mandate of the United States supreme court ■ having been filed in the district feder al conn this week, it will be at least a month before the law is in practical operation. This delay arises chiefly from twe ! considerations: the legislature may : change the guaranty law so that the ' orders of the state banking board would be materially affected, and it i wlH take some time for the various state banks to compute their average daily deposits for the past two years in order to find out what their guaran ty assessment amounts to.

As it j passed the house originally with fifty i six votes to its credit, considerable ! difficulty may be had in obtaining the ! necessary sixty votes. In the senate Twenty votes make the necessary three-fifths and the bill, when placed on its passage over the veto, received | twenty-one votes.

STORM IN CONGRESS - VIRTUALLY FOUR PARTIES ARE WORKING AT ODDS. BRYAN DIVIDES DEMOCRATS Sharp Line Drawn Between Conserva tives and Progressives. With Out come in the Dark. Washington.—It daily becoming; manifest that congress is facing a Stormy session and there can bo made no forecast of the probabie leeisla | tive results The fact that both of 1 the great political parties are divided j is no longer denied and the leaders, appear to have little hope of restoring i anything more than surface harmony There are virtually four pafties each with a large representation working at odds in the present ses , sion. The republican minority of the ; bouse is divided between regulars and insurgents as was evidenced by j the vote in the speakership contest | The breach between these two fac j lions is even wider in the republic an i majority of the senate. A sharp line has been drawn be tween the conservative democrats of1 the senate, who are opposed to any anc-uipt at dictation by William Jen i nings Bryan and the progressive dem [ ocrats. including practically all of the ’ new members and several \cterans i like Senator Stone of Missouri, whe j are Bryan adherents. The house dem ; ooratic majority seems to have es | t aped a break, but the leaders feat j the party contest in the senate may j at any time spread to the other branch. The situation has interfered' with the selection of committees and j the beginning oi legislative work. Probably there never has been a i congr-ss where so much uncertainty' existed and where the uneasiness has : been so equally distributed between the tw o major political parties. Oi j course, thi- i.- due, in part, to the iact j that m the present congress the democrats are in power in the house : and the republicans are in control of the senate. Tlie rea! cause of tre anxiety :s re lieved to be due to the proximity of j the party convection- whi. b will se-I iect t«*e stand-vra bcwre*- ?<*■ and the knowledge that a slip by i either in the extraordinary session or the regular session to follow may very easily determine the result ot ‘ the next national campaign. So far as the administration pro gram is concerned there is no room for speculation. President Taft has recommended the enactment of legis lation to carry out provisions oi the Canadian leciprocitv agreement, and it is no secret he yould be glad to j have congress stop at that and defer the question of further revision until j the regular session assembles next ' winter. His reason for this is that j the tariff board will be able to report several schedules by that time. Neither is there any obscurity 1 about the program oi Si>eaker Clark. ’ Representative Underwood, chairman i of the new ways and means commit- j tee. and other democrats who are di- i reeling the jiolicy of the house. Their j plan for progressive legislation on ! several subjects with which the coun try has been familiar in the last year or so. has been given out. Guerilla Chief Is Killed. Mexicali. Mex.—Stanley Williams, the guerilla leader, who was wounded in the spectacular assault when his ; little force of Sl> men engaged the en- i tire Eighth battalion of the Mexican army, died Sunday in the improvised j hospital established by the United ] States troops at Calexico. Together with the other dead brought from the battlefield five ■ miles away, the fallen chieftain was buried in the little graveyard at Mexi cali. just behind the breastworks.

MENACE OF COLLAR BUTTON Point Presses Into the Spinal Co'umr and Often Is Cause of Seri ous Trouble. Chicago—The doctor didn't say ■your asthma and bronchitis are r&used by your collar button." but after feeling under the collar at the back of the patient's neck he did say “■It’s a wonder a person who wears such a collar button can breathe at all. "I suppose for 25 years you have been wearing high, rigid collars." con tinued the doctor, “with a collar but ton half an inch long pressing heav ily against the spinal column neat where it enters the brain—where it enlarges into the medulla oblongata The tall, stiff collar, worn as tight as you wear it. ruts off a good deal of the blood supply from the head When you lean forward over youi desk it chokes the big blood vessels that supply the brain; then when you lean back it presses hard against the br.se of the brain Itself. But the col lar button, such as you wear, and as most men wear, is worse than the sellar, and together they are certainly 6 vicious combination. The medulla contains vital centers of the auto mane action of the body. The chiel of these centers is that controlling respiration. If the medulla is injured death ensues by suffocation. In rases of hanging it is the injury to this cen ter that causes death. The medulla is also the center for the vasomotoi nerves, regulating the size of the blood vessels. A heavy and contlnu Dus pressure on the spinal columr U.I Hew the Button Injures the Spins. such as is exerted by a collar button that is so long and so firmly held as a> imbed itself deeply, in the lia sues of the neck' cannot help bnt af Eect the nerves leaving the medulla causing troubles in breathing and a long line of distressing symptoms due to vasomotor nervous disturbances. "1 would not say that a shorter col lair button and a loose and soft collar could cure yonr asthma, but they cer tainty are among the remedies tndl sated. Just think of the weight of pressure that is put on that collar but ton. with heavy winter clothing, tight fitting aa to cottars of seat, coat and overcoat, forcing this small piece of metal deeper and deeper dov.-n on these nerves that control the meat ifta) functions at she body.” CONGRESS 6ETS TlfTSJIESSIGE Brief Document is Transmitted to Country’s Lawmakers. IS ALL ABOUT RECIPROCITY President Tells of Negotiations Lead ing to the Canadian Agreement, and Asks Early Action Con firming the Pact. Washington. April 5.—President Taft's message to the 62nd congress in extraordinary session was trans mitted to both branches of congress today. The message in full was as follows; i o the senate and house of fepre ten tail ves: J transmitted to the six ty-first congress on January 6th. last, the text of the reciprocity trade igreement which had been negotiated under my direction by the secretary if state with the representatives of the Dominion of Canada. This agree ment was the consummation of ear nest efforts extending over a period of nearly a year, on the part of both governments to effect a trade ar rangement which, supplementing as It did the amicable settlement of vari ous Questions of a diplomatic and po litical character that had been reached, would mutually promote rommerce and would strengthen the friendly relations now existing. The agreement in its intent and in its terms was purely economic and rontmercial. While the general sub lect was under discussion by the com missioners, I felt assured that the sentiment of the people of the United States was such that they would wel come a measure which would result !n the increase of trade on both sides sf the boundary line, would open up the reserve productive resources of Tanada to the great mass of our own ronsumers on advantageous condi tions and at the same time offer a broader outlet for the excess products )f our farms and many of our indus tries. Details regarding a negotiation sf this kind necessarily conld not be made public while the conferences were pending. However, the fgl* text bf the agreement with the accona rwnytng corresponuence and data ex - plaining both its purpose and its tcope became known to the people through the message transmitted to iongress. Approved by the People. It was immediately apparent that the ripened fruits of the careful labors of the commissioners met with wide spread approval. This approval has been strengthened by further consid eration of the terms of the agreement in all their particulars. The volume of support which has developed shows that its broadly national scope is fully appreciated and is responsive to the popular will. The house of representatives of the Sixty-first congress, after the full text of the arrangement with all the de tails in regard to the different provi sions had been before it. as they were before the American people, passed the bill confirming the agreement as negotiated and as transmitted to con gress. This measure failed of action In the senate, in my transmitting message of the 26th of January, I fully set forth the character of the agree ment and emphasized its appropriate u\ss and necessity as a response to the mutual needs of the people of the two countries, as well as Its commop ndvantages. I now lay that message xnd the reciprocal trade agreement, is integrally a pan of the present message, before the Sixty-second con gress and again invite earnest atten tion to the considerations therein ex pressed tany Action is urged. I am constrained in deference to popular sentiment and with a realiz ing sense of my duty to the gTeat masses of out people whose welfare la involved, to urge upon your considera tion early action oa this agreement la concluding the negotiations the representatives- that the, two coun tries bound themselves to use their ; ntn'-'st efforts to bring about the tar iff cL-mpes provided for in the agree ment tcf concurrent legislation at Washington and Ottawa i have feh it my duty, therefore, not td ar gwesce in reiegatlon of action until the opening of the congress in De ' cember. but to cse my constitutional prerogative and convoke the .Sixty second congress in extra session la order that there shall be no break of aontinulty in considering and acting upon this most Important subject. - *- WILLIAM H.
