paper clause tacked on. This amend
ment provides that the wood pulp and
paper board shall not be admitted
free of duty into the United States
until the products are admitted free
from this country into every province
of Canada. Preceding the vote to
report the bill, this amendment was
adopted by the committee by a vote
of 8 to 6, those opposing it being
Senators Penrose, Cullom and Mc
Cumber, republican, and Stone, Wil
liams and Kern, democrats.
"An effort to send the bill to the
senate with a report recommending
the passage of the measure resulted
in a vote of six to eight, those favor
ing this action being Senators Pen
rose, Cullom and Lodge, republicans,
and Stone, Williams and Kern, demo
crats. On a vote for an unfavorable
report the result was a tie, Senator
Smoot joining Senators Penrose, Cul
lom, Lodge, Stone, Williams and
Kern in opposing this action.
"On the final' motion which was
to report the bill as reamended and
without recommendations, Messrs.
Tenrose, Cullom, Lodge, Smoot and
Gallinger, republicans, and Stone',
Bailey, Williams, Kern and Simmons,
' democrats, voted in favor of and
Messrs. Heyburn, Clark, McCumber
and La Follette, all republicans,
against the motion. Senator John
ston, of Maine, was not present.
The votes on the measure were a
surprise to members of the senate.
It had been generally believed that
the finance committee would shift re
sponsibility to the senate, leaving the
real fight to be waged on the floor.
At the last moment the opposition in
the committee seemed to solidify."

MOTHERS
Mothers are the queerest things.
'Member when John went away,
All but mother cried and cried
When they said goodby that day.
She just talked, and seemed to be
Not the slightest bit upset
Was the only one wh.o smiled
Others' eyes were streaming wet.
But when John came back again
On a furlough, safe and sound,
With a medal for his deeds,
And without a single wound,
While the rest of us hurrahed,
Laughed and joked and danced
about,
Mother kissed him, then she cried
Cried and cried like all git out.

An Associated Press dispatch,
under date of Washington, June 12,
says: "An attack upon the protec
tive tariff system by an American
-manufacturer who claims to -have
studied; labor -and manufacturing
conditions in many countries held
the attention of the house of repre
sentatives for two hours today.
ReDresentative William C. Redfleld
of Brooklyn, a new democratic mem
ber, a manufacturer of machinery
and long connected with export
trade, said that American manufac
turers are abandoning the protective
principle as unnecessary as they de
velop more scientific management of
their own plants.
" 'The protective tariff simply has
enabled the American manufacturers
to sell at such high prices that they
have not studied their own conditions
closely,' said Mr. Redfleld. 'They
have relied on government support
rather than upon business manage
ment. Its effect has been to stimu
late the development of plants until
they are now so large that products
must be sold abroad. In this condi
tion the manufacturers no longer
want to pay the high prices neces
sary for material under a protective
tariff.'
"Mr. Redfleld declared that instead
of foreign labor being cheaper,
American labor is really the cheapest
in the world; that no labor produced
as much in proportion to the wages
it received as American.
"Mr. Redland attacked the repub
lican principle of tariff 'equal to the
difference in cost at home and
abroad,' saying it was impossible to
determine thjs difference. He said
the American tariff board 'Is worth
less unless empowered to call for
the cost sheets of the factories en
gaged in the line of manufacture it
is studying,' adding that often the
American cost of production is lower.
"Republican opposition to the
democratic wool tariff revision bill
was voiced today in the house by
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
who resumed the debate on the
measure. Mr. Mondell said the re
duction of the raw wool tariff actually
amounted to the abolishment -of
three-fourths of the protection now
NO NEED FOR WORRY
Winston Churchill, tho young
English statesman, once began to
raise a mustache, and while it was
still in the budding stage, he was
asked to a dihner party to take out
to dinner an l English girl who had
decided opposing political views
"I am sorry," said Mr. Churchill,
''we can not agree on politics."
"No, we ,can't," rejoined the girl,
"for to be frank with you I like your
politics about as little as I do your
mustache."
"Well," replied Mr. Churchill, "re
member that you are not really likely
to come into contact with either."

"Nonsense! Col. Roosevelt's great
est ambition is to be a one-man war.
"He wants to be the commanding

calm and collected in front of his

clicks his orders to his corps com-manders.-
"He wants to be tho general staff

the positions of the opposing forces.
"He wants to be the trusty scouts

"He wants to be the roar of the

"He wants to be the last desperate

"He wants to bo the rear guards

"He wants to bo the dead and
