It’s easier to get next to it than it is to get away. There must be some mistake. Castro says that Venzuela will soon be bankrupt—and he is going back. Just because a woman declares that she has the best husband on earth is no sign that she expects to meet him in heaven. There is this difference between a tailor and a dressmaker: The tailor never tellsa man that he has the finest figure in town. Along with such minor things as] roses and dandelion greens and blue- birds and the like, spring brings in the grandest thing in the world— green apple pie. Woman’s record on hats during the past twenty years would indicate that she wouldn’t stick to one politi- cal party more than two weeks if she had the ballot. When a man tells you that he has something he wants to say to you, and that he would rather say it to your face thawu behind your back, you know pretty well what is coming your way. Says Mary McFadden, in the Duluth News-Tribune: “Cass Lake will get the normal school, but Be- midji still has something that can- not be equalled in its line in the whole north country—the Bemidji Pioneer.” Don’t know just what Mary means; but we’re not afraid to reproduce it, anyway. AMBITIOUS TO GO ON STAGE Daughter of Secretary Wilson Has Successful “Tryout.” New York, March 31.—Miss Flora ‘Wilson, daughter of James Wilson, gecretary of agriculture, is happy after having had a successful “tryout” before Andreas Dippel, administrative manager of the Metropolitan Opera House. Miss Wilson has ambitions MISS FLORA WILSON. to go on the operatic stage and has just returned from abroad, where she studied singing. “While I don't know whether Miss ‘Wilson will make her debut in New York or some other city I am very favorably impressed with her voice,” said Mr. Dippel. “I will surely keep her in mind, although no contract was entered into.” FOR IMPROVING WATERWAYS Bill Introduced Authorizing Bond Issue of $500,000,000. ‘Washington, March 30.—Represen- tative Ransdell of lLouisiana has in- troduced a bill providing a means for obtaining mwoney for waterways im- provements. It authorizes the secre- tary of the treasury to borrow $500,- 000,000, but not to exceed $50,000,000 in any certain fiscal year, to defray expenditures hereafter authorized for waterway improvements. The secre- tary is also authorized to issue 2 per cent coupon or registered United States bonds, redeemable ten years. from issuing date and payable thirty years from such date.

Met- calf, a retired inventor of Malden, Mass.,, has invented a new. style of alrship which he calls “the flying auto.” It is said that the machine can do stunts in the air like a bird, going either up or down, or backward and forward.

LITTLE INTEREST IN TARIFF DEBATE Dozeni Members Present at Opening of House. MOST OF THEM SPEAKERS Cox of Ohjo Opens the Discussion, Pleading for a Reduction of Duties on Sewing Machines, Bicycles and Computing Scales—Sterling of Iili- nois Disapproves of Committee Pro- vision for Free Hides. ‘Washington, March 31.—The lagging interest in the tariff discussion was made manifest when it was observed that but a dozen members were in their seats upon the convening of the house and that for the most part these were the ones scheduled “to speak. There was such an emptiness in the house that when the speaker pro tem., Mr. Perkins, called the body to order the sound of his gavel echoed and re-echoed throughout the cham- ber., The debate was opened by Mr. Cox (0.), who pleaded for a reduction in the duties on sewing machines, bi- cycles and computing scales. He argued that by reason of the favored nation clause Germany was enabled to manufacture and ship sewing ma- chines and bicycles into Russia, France and other Continental coun- tries at about half the tariff imposed on the same articles of American man- ufacture. Because of this fact the American manufacturer was handi- capped in extending his foreign trade. Unless the tariff ‘was reduced, he said, the manufacturers of the products mentioned would be forced to build factories abroad, which would result {in throwing out.of employment in this country many skilled workmen. The action of the committee in re- moving the duty on hides was disap- proved by Mr. Sterling of Illinois. Mr. Weisse of Wisconsin replied that the 16 per cent duty so discriminated agalnst the American tanner and leather manufacturer that they lose $5 worth of business on every hide and labor loses $1 and a half day’s work. The bill does not remedy the sitvation, said Mr. = Sterling. He charged that Mr. Weisse’s proposal was to open the flood gates and let in cheaper hides from South America and other countries and cause the American farmer to suffer. Mr. Hughes of Georgia contended that the history of tariff legislation is “one continnous performance of trag- edy for the farmers.” “The Democratic platform was right in demanding free lumber,” said Mr. Kitchin of North Carolina, in oppos- ing the bill. The great beneficiaries of the tariff on lumber, he sald, were the big syndicates of stumpage hold- ers in the Northwest and on the Pa- cific coast. DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT PLAN Republicans Would _ Limit Amend- ments to Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, March 31.—The Demo- cratic leaders are getting ready for the fight that will attend the effort which it is expected that the Repub- lican leaders will make to secure the adoption of a rule limiting amend- ments to the Payne bill. Upon learn- ing that the Republican whip had been instructed to have all absent members on the majority side present in the house on Thursday at 10 o’clock the Democratic leader issued similar instructions to the minority ‘whip. 1t is not believed that a caucus will be held by the Republicans to bind the members of the party in the house to support a rule limiting amend- ments to the tariff bill. " That a rule will be reported by the rules commit- tee on Thursday, which will limit the consideration of the tariff bill, under the five-minute debate procedure to committee amendments and amend- ments on seven or eight paragraphs, seems to be the existing opinion. TAFT WILL SELECT JUDGES Does Not Recognize Right of Sena- tors to Dictate Nominations. ‘Washington, March . 31.—President Taft. again stated to callers that he did.not consider. the appointment of Judges to be a part of the patronage of United Statés senators. . The presi: dent thinks that judiclal ‘appointments should be'free from political influ- ences, He considers himself com- petent to pass on the fitness of them for the bench and will do 8o, At the same time he said he would be-glad to receive suggestions from senators and representatives as to their -knowledge of the qualifications of applicants. The president has several federal judgeships to fill in the near future and has received. many calls ‘from senators and representatives from the @istricts where the vacancies: exist. - Warship for Mother Country.

Ponta del Gada, Island of. Sao Mi- guel, the Azores, March 31.—The steamship Hamburg, with ex-Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt aboard, ar- rived here unexpectedly. The vessel stopped briefly to give Mr. Roosevelt an opportunity of seeing the beautiful scenery of the island, with its springs and gardens. There was great excite- ment among the people, all of whom ‘were eager to obtain a glimpse of Mr. Roosevelt. The ex-president went eshore and enjoyed a two-hour auto- mobile ride.

The Nationalist members of the house, at a recent meeting, resolved to oppose this bill as not fulfilling the (Irish-demands. SUBMITTED TO. KING P-ETEI_I Formula-Agreed Upon by the Euro pean Powere.

The people have already demon- strated that they would rather trust a man who is naturally honest, than one who was honest only be- cause he had to be.' - The Barker's Drug store have a firmly. established reputation for square dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the' people that Rexall Remedies are the purest and most dependable remedies that it is possible for modern science to produce, and that ‘they would tell the public ‘exactly what each one of these 300 remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their own personal guarantee, that they would give entire satis- faction or the medicine would not cost the user a single cent, they were believed. Ever since this announcement the Barker Drug store have been crowd- ed by people buying Rexall Reme- dies; all of which proves that the Barkers’ Drug Store have the confi- dence of the people and that honesty is the best puhcy. There is no ‘'cure-all” among the Rexall Remedies—there are 300 different and separate medicines, one for each human ill, and each unquesionably the best of its kind. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par- ticularly recommended for the posi- tive cure of stomach irritation, in- digestion and dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth, Subnitrate, Pepsin and carminatives, and are prepared by a special process which perfects and enhances the -great curative value of these well known medici- nal agents, This rémedy sells for 25 cents a package. Everyone suffering from a stomach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothiag if they do not satisfy. The Barker’s Drug Store is cer- tainly fortunate in securing control of the sale of these remedies, and we urge everyone in need of medi- cine to investigate and take advan- tage of their frank and generous offer. HILL URGES ECONOMY N EXPENDITURES Sees Danger in- Enormous Gov- ernment Appropriations. New York, March 31.—“The farmers in the West are turning bankers., It a man wants to raise a loan on a|j plece of property instead of going to the ‘country bank he will go to the farmers in his locality, who have the money, and get his loan at 5 to 6 per cent.' The farmer prefers this to put- ting his money in the local bank at 2 to 38 per cent to be lent back again.- This abundance of money is one of the healthlest signs that I see in the West.” So-spoke James J. Hill on his re- turn to the financial quarter after a month’s stay in St. Paul. When Mr. Hill was askedfor his views on the situation_he said: “There is a steady but moderate improvement in business. The busi- ness of the country ‘is -thawing out {from the great frost which struck it In 1907 and which continued in 1908. | The streams and rivulets. are begin- ning to trickle in their flow again and |, I do not belleve that there will be & return to the panic conditions. “One . of the great things “hanging over the country is the enormous: ex- penditure, not merely federal but state and municipal, and .the consequent effort to produce - reventues: to meet. ‘the expenditures.: Fconomy in. gov- ernment should be the watchword.” .
