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.
Williams' death was caused by a mis
sile that plowed through the head at
the base of the skull, tearing away
the rear portion of the brain.
Teddy Don’t Want Office.

Unusual Chastisement Causes G~ea*

Town.
Alton. 111.—In an effort to maintain
discipline in the high school of Upper
Alton. Principal I. \Y. Bush broke a
chair on the head and shoulders ol
Ralph Reeder after slapping him in
the face for an alleged infraction ol
the rules This unusual form of chas
tisement caused Edward Reeder, fath
er of the boy. to swear out a warrant
against the principal, charging him
with assault. Recently an epidemic ]
of gum-chewing swept over the school
and the ->ce?sant wagging of jaws in- -
terfered seriously with studies. The l
board instructed the principal to stop j

was one of the worst offenders, and
that he repeated the offense in spite i
of the strict orders. Bush said he
slapped the boy on the face two ot

self-defense Bush picked up a chair

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

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

Washington. April 5.—President

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.
