After waiting: for the first hurst of indigestion to subside, admirers of the late Senator Mathew Quay of Pennsylvania have renewed ac tion in the Legislature authorizing setting up his statue in the new :apitol buildine. Protests are be- iug renewed, and attention is beinc called to the record of the man. On the other hand it is being point ea out, ironically, that such a cap- uol building can be most fittingly furnished by the statue of oreciselv the sort of man Quay was. It is proposed that the statue monument. t erected bear an inscription, clos ing thus: "A grateful Common wealth has erected this monument on the spot where grew that plum tree he loved so well " Quay re ceived the highest political honors the state of Pennsylvania could give him during his life, and held them to his death. Legislative condemnation of the man and his methods would have been more ef fective and insnirioe if it had heen sufficiently courageous to have ap peared during his life.

Stan U '19 Kind You Have Always 3oagM If WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, I). C, May 3, 1909 The speech of Senater Bailey on an income tax. one of the ablest which has been delivered on the floor of the Senate for many a day, and took two days to deliver, was highly pleasing to Democrats, who regard it as an unanswerable argu ment in defence of the right of Con gress to levy an income tax. Mr. Bailey quoted from court opinions and other authorities to substanti ate his contention respecting the constitutionality of such a tax, and said: "That this is inquisitorial is true, but not more so than any other tax. To compel tne to tell the source of my income, as done in the State in which I live, is as in quisitorial as to compel me lo tell the amount of my income". As to the plea that such a tax .would make us a nation of liars, Mr. Hailey said: "I will not insult the American people by repeating that charge, but I will repel it 11s an un warranted reflection upon our peo ple. I do not think a self-resnect- ing American citizen will lie to es cape the payment of a tax; and if I shou d find a man who would commit perjury to escape taxation, 1 would tavor disfranchising nun. A scandal in the Census Bureau is more than hinted at, to which the Democrats in Congress are just avvakenitig. Director North is charged with insubordination and it is questioned in administration circles whether he has the capacity to administer the affairs of the cen sus ollice. lhe opinion obtains that Mr. North's resignation will be asked for by President Taft within the next few days. Mr. North himself declines to discuss the matter entirely, except to say that he has not intended to resign. At the State department prepa rations are in progress for a com plete readjustment of our trade re lations with the nations of the world, to follow the enactment of the new tariff law. In view of the introduction of the maximum-min-mum policy into our tariff law, many treaties and arrangements covering trade relations will of ne cessity be abrogated and new ones must be negotiated, and to accom plish this amicably and without in volving the United States in com mercial wars with her rivals is a herculean task which will call for all the ability and ingenuity of our eminently able and tactful Secreta ry of State. The President and the leaders in Congress have every confidence in the successful out come of these negotiations in the hands of Secretary Knox. Mrs. Taft is now seen on the streets of Washington and its sub urbs driving her own electric runa bout. Mrs. Taft is as fond of mo toring as isj the President and de sired to run her own car. but the President objected to her driving one of : the large gasoline touring cars, with which the former stables of the White House are equipped, and a compromise was reached in the electric runabout. V The postmasters throughout the country have received notice from the Third Assistant Postmaster General that the new issue postaga stamps which the Postoffice De partment is preparing for the Seat tle exposition will be put on sale about June 1. The citizens of Se attle made no inconsiderable com ment on the original design of the stamp, in consequence of which the picture of the polar bear clinging to an iceburg has been changed and in its stead appears the portrait of William H. Seward, who, as Sec retary of State, conducted the ne gotiations for the purchase of Alas ka from Russia. Col. R. M. Johnson, veteran pub lisher of the Houston Post and prominent as a Democratic politi cian in Texas, was in Washington this week and in discussing the prohibition wave which is sweeping the country, declared that the divi sion of Texas into two States is a probable outcome of the agitation ot the liquor question, now in prog ress iu the State.

"Mothers' Pay" To Be Widely Ob served. "Mothers' Day," the second Sunday in May. will be observed mote widely than ever this year Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, oiiginaied its observance three years ago. She thought it would )e a beautiful tribute to all mothers, the dead as well as the living, if their children would unite, 011 one day in the year, in wearing a sim pie white ilower in evidence of filial honor and love. Miss Jarvis chose the while carnation as the flower, its color typifying purity; its form beaufy; its fragrance, love; its wide field of growth, charily; its lasting qualities, faithfulness all virtues ol a true motherhood. In several American cities the Mayors in past years have issued special proclamations recommend ing the general celebration of the d iy, wh ch has also been marked by the singing of mothers' hymns in the home and by special services and distribution of white flowers in the Sunday Schools and the churches. Gov. Vesscy, of South Dakota, has officially ordered the observ ance of the day in that State this year. In his proclamation he says in part: "Recognizing the importance of the home as the fountain-head of society, and realizing that no statesmanship or legislation can save us if our homes become abodes of ignorance and degradation, I, R. S. Vessey, Governor of the State of South Dakota, hereby set apart and designate the second Sabbath iu our national memorial month of May as Mothers' Day, in grateful and loving remembrance of the one who, iu our infancy watched over us with tenderest care, in our youth gently guided us to higher ideals, the counsellor of our maturer years. "The fitness of the observance of this day appeals to all social, fraternal, civil, military and relig ious organizations alike; to him who has missed life's crowning joy, the tender ministrations of a mother's love, no less than to the one who has derived the elements of a noble character from the ma ternal care bestowed in childhood. Probably never before was a move ment inaugurated which iu such a short time attained national recog nition." INSTRUCTION IN MUSIC. Chas. P.

The fish were from 7 to 9 inches in length, strong and vigorous. When he cleaned them he noticed that the bladders were of abnormal size, almost completely filling the inside of the fish. Upon attempting to burst them they resisted pressure and an examination showed them filled with lively little white worms about three-fourths of an inch in length and the thickness of a hair. He placed a lot of them in a bottle of water and will preserve them for development. This is a strange freak, one which Editor Randall has not met before in over 40 years of trout fishing. The matter has been referred to the State Fishery Commission ior solution. The erection of a silk mill at Lewistown is now a certainty. The check in payment for the site has been received by Mr. Fleming from the Susquehanna Silk Mill company, and ground will be bro ken for the new buildings at once. They will be 300 feet long by 200 feet wide. loru hnvu tlicy been told? Nearly sixty ask your own doctor and find out. r New Spring Suits! Spring Suits have arrived!
