SENATOR BAILEY
MAKES CAUSTIC REPLY
Texas Senator Takes Four Hours to
Tell Why He 11ns Taken Posi
tion tm Tarllt Hill That Does
Not Meet with the Ap
" provnl of the
' Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 25. In
a long speech In the senate to-day
Senator' Bailey of Texas, made reply
to those who have been criticising
him for his position In favor of a
duty on hides, lumber and Iron ore
and other articles of raw material In
connection with the pending tariff
bill. His expression on the subject
of hides is a fair example of what
he said with reference to the other
articles Involved. "If," he said, "I
were Invested with power to repeal
any duty I would not repeal the duty
on hides until I could also repeal the
duty on shoes and leather goods. I
would not repeal either until I could
repeal both, and I would either have
free trade in everything made out
of hides, or else I would lay a reve
nue tariff on the hides." He could
not, he said, comprehend how a
Democrat could think that he was
relieving the consumer from the ex
actions and oppressions of the manu
facturers by voting to take the duty
off of what the manufacturers buy
from the people and still leaving a
duty on what the people buy from
the manufacturers. "That kind of
a man," he continued, "may be a
free trader, but he is a free trader
in spots; and the misery of it all
is that he selects the factories of this
country as the spots where he applies
his free trade doctrine. I have
sometimes doubted the sincerity of
the men who denounce the greed of
American manufacturers and then
gratify that greed by exempting the
same manufacturers from the taxes
which everybody else is required to
pay. If they really believe that one
class is robbing all other classes they
ought to punish the robbers and not
the victims."
.Mr Halley was willing to concede
that the Democrats who advocate
free hides desired as earnestly as he
did to reduce the price of shoes and
of leather goods generally, but not
to concede that they knew as well
i's lie did how to accomplish this re
sult. "They seem," he said, "to
think that the proper method is to
first reduce the manufacturer's cost
of production and then reduce the
duty on the finished product. That
will undoubtedly reduce the price of
the llnlshed product to the ultimate
consumer, but there is another and
a much juster way to accomplish the
same end." Outlining this plan, he
insisted that the producer of the raw
material and the manufacturer of the
finished product should bo compelled
to share in the reduction on behalf
of the whole people.
With reference to lumber .Mr.
Bailey contended that the forests
would not be preserved by placing
lumber on the free list, his argument
being that the timber lands of the
United States and of Canada must
supply the demands of both countries
and that therefore it would make no
difference from which country the
timber must be cut. He also argued
that the only people who would be
benefited by free lumber from Can
ada would be the lumber buyers
along the Canadian border. "And
what right have they?" lie asked, "to
ask us that we give them the ad
vantage of free trade in tills particu
lar article? Do they not demand a
protective tariff upon the meat and
the bread stuffs which they produce.'
Do they not vote for these high du
ties on manufactured articles?
I am actuated by no narrow preju
dice and my mind is free from every
taint of sectional animosity; but I
shall never consent to give free trade
to a people who impose protection on
everybody else. I shall resolutely
stand he're and insist that those who
apply protection to others shall not
be suffered to escape it themselves."
In another connection, 3Ir. Bailey
declared that he could not answer to
his judgment and his conscience as
a Democrat for voting to put lumber
on the free list, while glass, hard
ware, cement, paint, and every other
necessary material are subject to a
duty of more than thirty per cent.
Saying that he had been told that
free iron ore would stimulate the In
dependent steel companies, Mr.
Bailey declared that "there is only
a semblance of competition between
the steel trust and these so-called in
dependent companies." His infor
mation was that the price list of the
Independent companies read like
copies of those of the trust, a fact
which he said had led to open
charges that there is an agreement
between them. He himself did not
make, that charge, but merely re
ferred to It, but ho contended that
whether true or not competition
would not be obtained by tho remov
al of the duty on Iron ore.
Mr. Balloy again declared that the
offenses of the trusts could not be
reached through the tariff and by
eiemptlons from duty of raw ma
terial. On this point, he said ,"to
construe the Democratic demand that
trust-controlled articles shall bp
placed on the free list and requiring
us to exempt raw materials from
duty is to make our party ridiculous
in the eyes of all intelligent men.
Such a law will neither hurt the
trustB nor help tho people, because
It will not increase the manufactur
er's cost of production or reduce the
price of his finished product. So
far as the Democratic party can deal
with the trust question through tar
iff legislation It would remove tariff
duties from the finished products,
because that will reduce their price,
thus hurting the trusts and helping
the people at the same time. As
every senator knows, 1 told tenncl
ously to the opinion that the only
way t,o destroy the trusts now in
existence and to prevent the forma
tion of others is to send the men who
organize and operate them to the
penitentiary, and I am confident that
the next few years will bring all men
to concur in my opinion. But while
I am waiting for that time to come,
and ignoring the embarrassment
which will arise from the loss of
revenue, I am ready to put the finish
ed product of every trust in America
on the free list; but I utterly refuse
to Insult the intelligence of my
countrymen by asking them to believe
that I help the people by levying
a duty on what they buy from the
trusts and that I hurt the trusts by
removing the duty on what they buy
from the people."
Mr. Bailey's speech was in the main
devoted to an effort to show thct free
raw material was not a cardinal
Democratic doctrine and that he had
never advocated such doctrines. He
was willing to admit that "during
the time when Mr. Cleveland and his
friends dominated our party, they
did commit it to the supreme folly of
giving our manufacturers free trade
in what they buy while leaving them
protection on what they sell." He
had, however, in season and out of
season denounced this as a radical
departure from the well established
principles and policies of the Demo
cratic fathers. After citing many
authorities he traced the advocacy of
free raw material to tho late Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, but
declared that this doctrine had never
"commanded any substantial support
among the leaders or with the rank
and file of that sturdy Democracy
which won so many victories and ad
ministered this government with
such consummate wisdom through so
many years."
Referring then to the position of
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of his own state,
.Mr. Bailey pointed out that as far
back as 1SDG he, Mr. Bailey, had
taken a position against free raw ma
terial. He said that in 1900 he had
canvassed his state everywhere de
nouncing "tills fallacy," and that
ho had been elected to the senate on
that issue among others.
Concluding .Mr. Bailey expressed
confidence that the time would come
when with a Democratic majority in
the senate, he would be called upon
to aid in passing a Democratic tariff
bill, and ho said he did not desire to
then be upbraided for casting a vote
against the principles of the old time
Democracy. "At their side I stand,
mo with them I am ready to be
judged, declaring, as I have always
done, and as I shall do with my lat
est breath, that tho sum of all good
governments is comprehended in the
maxim that all shall enjoy equal
rights, and none shall have special
privileges. When my course
is run there may be many who will
think that I have not fought a good
fight, but there shall be none who
can justly say that I have not kept
the faith."

T. J. DAVIES DEAD.
T. J. Davies, Esq., of Montrose,
whose sudden illness at South Gib
son, recently, was reported in The
Citizen, died at the Lewis house,
without regaining consciousness, on
Friday evening, the 12th. Mr.
Davies was born in Clifford town
ship, June 4, 1S53. Until he was
about 25 years of age he lived in
this part of the county, teaching
school, and was subsequently em
ployed in the mercantile business at
Herrick Center. He went to Mont
rose in 1880 to study law and was
admitted to the bar in 1SS2, form

He had one of the most lucrative
law practices in the county. He is
survived by his wife, one son and
one daughter. The funeral took
place on Saturday.
"UOUDOIR SHADOW" CLOCK.
Novel Timepiece, Only Second of its
Kind, to He Presented to AVife
of Ex-President.
New York. R. B. Smith, inven
tor of the "Boudoir Shadow" time
piece, is making a novel clock for
tho wife of former President Roose
velt, which he will present to the
latter on his return from tho Afri
can trip. The clock will be the
second of Its kind in existence. It
Is to be finely fashioned anu the
metal work plated twenty-two carat
gold. The clock Is made with two
dials, one for day use and one for
night use. The night dial Is trans
parent and Is placed between lenses.
When the possessor of the clock re
tires he may turn tho night dial to
faco tho celling, placing the cord
with an electric push-button at tho
head of the bed. By pressing the
button at any time during the night
he turns on a small electric light
connected under the dial, and the
outlines of tho numerals are reflect
ed on the ceiling. The shadow of
the dial is four or five feet In diameter.
DANGEROUS CANNON CRACKER.
That July day is rapidly approach
ing when, In all probability, we shall
kill and Injure some two thousand
of our young people In celebration
of the Declaration of Independence.
It is the cannon cracker that is
responsible for most of these casu
alties. Other forms of explosives
and fireworks have their victims, but
for wholesale homicide, combined
with arson, there is no villain like
the cannon cracker. In one year
nearly fifteen hundred Injuries, a
number of them fatal, and a vast
number of fires were directly due
to this miscreant.
This year representatives of forty
cities met in Pittsburg to discuss
means of making the Fourth of July
less dangerous. Some communities
have already forbidden the sale of
high explosives to children. The
time may not bo far distant when
pageants and athletic contests will
take the place of shooting in the
day's proceedings, and when moth
ers may look forward to our na
tional birthday without dread.
HANDS OFF MAIL BOXES.
The Williamsport Sun has the
following to say: " A case in the
Federal court in this city last week,
in which a youth was lined twenty
five dollars and costs for damaging
a rural route mall box, enlists pub
lic Interest and attention in a mat
ter that is too often forgotten or
disregarded that the little tin mall
boxes along the country free delivery
routes are under the protection of
the United States government, as
prescribed by the following statute:
Section 1603 Every person who
wilfully and maliciously Injures,
tears down or destroys any letter
box, pillar box or other receptacle
established by the postmaster gen
eral for the safe deposit of matter
for the mail or delivery, or who wil
fully and maliciously assaults any
letter carrier when in uniform, while
engaged on his duty as a letter car
rier and every person who wilfully
aids or assists therein shall for every
such offense be punishable by a fine
of not less than $100 and not more
than 51,000 or by imprisonment for
not less than one or more than three
years.
Til Potter county youth who was
fined by Judge Archbald confessed
to the vandalism charged against
him, though it was argued in his
favor that the destruction had been
accomplished while he was under the
influence of whiskey, which had been
given him by woodsmen.

the famous "Coxey's army" invaded
Washington again last week, but on
an extirely different mission than a
former visit. General Coxey Is now

wants Congress to place a tax of
1 Vi cent a pound on foreign arsenic,
which is now on the free list.

Duties of Sweet Juno Graduates Who
Eschew Professional Life.
With the passing of Juno school life
will cud for many a girl. Some will
elect to raise up a profession or busi
ness. The girl who slays at home will
probably give the matter no considera
tion whatever, but she should.
She has just as important work
nwnltlng her in the homo ns has the
girl in an ofllcc. Her decision will af
fect her future life quite as much as
though she were taking up a profes
sion. It Is quite Important to tho fam
ily and to herself what kind of homo
girl she will be.
If she is going to bo tho home girl
who comes down late to a breakfast
her mother has prepared, who Idles
through the morning dawdling in tho
shops or gossiping with friends, who
wastes tho afternoons and evenings In
mere gossip or gayetics, homo life will
be a decided disadvantage to her. She
will deteriorate morally and mentally.
She will grow Bclfish and lazy. No girl
should permit herself to become this
sort of home girl, even though her
mother may want to Indulge her or
the family circumstances may permit
of idleness. It is not enough merely
to live. An animal can do that. One
should live to some purpose.
A certain nmount of gayetics and
pleasures arc right and necessary.
Girlhood needs them. But not nil one's
time should be given up to them Life
demands of a healthy, bright, ftrceful
girl something more worth while.
Pleasure should bo given its proper
place and proportion in tho day's af
fairs, like the dessert on tho menu.
One cannot live on it altogether with
out becoming flabby and unhealthy.
Tho girl who stays at home should
tako her share of tho household tasks.
The time has come to lift some of the
burdens from mother's shoulders, to
give more time and sympathetic atten
tion to the Interests of the younger
members of tho family, to add to fa
ther's pleasure in the family circle ot
an evening. The girl who is home
with mind free from lessons and time
to study the home life In all Its de
tails will find plenty to do to help and
to make It happier. And tho girl who
stays at homo should do it. A study
of household economics might bo of
greatest aid in lessening the household
expenses or llehtonlnc the burden of
its toll. She will bo a wise girl if she
takes this up. She has elected to
make home work her life work, and
she should land all efforts to do It as
scientifically and Intelligently as pos
sible. She will get far more pleasure
out of it also if she goes about it In
the most up to date manner.
The girl who stays at homo should
tako an intelligent interest in the af
fairs of the community about her.
Sunday schools and charitable organi
zations need workers. Business wom
en are too busy and too tired to do
much of such work. Justice to them
selves demands that they rest and re
cuperate when their day's task is over.
The girl who stays at homo can also
help much now in many civic affairs.
The girl who stays at homo should
not shirk such responsibilities. They
will broaden her life, make it more
useful and happier. And when she
goes to a home of her own she is bet
ter fitted to manage it and to make it
a haven of love and rest for her own
nnd a power for good for tho commu
nity. Best Man In the Service.
AVheu Commissioner Leupp of the
Indian bureau searched the records of
his department "for the best man in
his service" to send to the Mission res
ervations in California he picked Miss
Clara True. His reason for desiring
tho most capable man in his service
was because of tho desperate condi
tion into which the Mission Indians
had fallen through the operations of a
strong whisky ring which had estab
lished a strong hold on tho Indians
and which never had been successfully
coped with. Miss True has already
won marked success in tho same lino
of work at the Morongo reservation, in
California. Here tho liquor evil had
become a scourge, and tho Indians
were notorious throughout the state,
for their lawlessness.
What that little woman endured in
her struggle to evict the whisky ring
that had operated nt such profit for
years her eastern sisters can scarcely
realize. She was first offered bribes,
then Intimidation of every sort, from
tho circulation of unpleasant stories
about her to anonymous letters threat
ening death, and finally she was shot
at from ambush. And in addition to
all this trouble with the whisky men
she was forced to fight land thieves
and cattlemen who had been in tho
habit of using Indian land ns though
It was their own. But In tho end she
was tho victor, and tho Mission reser
vation Is rapidly becoming ono of tho
models of the Indian office.
Miss True weighs only 110 pounds,
but she is as lithe as years of riding
in the saddle can mako her. Sho Is
approaching her fortieth birthday.
An Inspiration.
When n fair young girl with sunny
hair, red Hps, whlto teeth and gentle
manners Is seen earning her living
and her mother attending to mar
keting and meals ft can but rouse
every spark of decency and chivalry
In tho young men. Perhaps they think,
"But for father or brother my jnotber
and sister might bo doing the eamo for
a lot of us fellows, and Td punch tho
head of any one who was Impolite or
disrespect ful."

FOR THE GROWING GIRL.
Should Bo Taught That Sho Hm a
Right to Good Health.
It is easier for a girl of tho grow
ing age to injure herself than for
tho mature woman. Tho bones are
not thoroughly hardened, there aro
changes taking place in the anatomy,
the body has not become settled, It
is growing, expanding, developing
and strength is absorbed In tho pro
cess. For these reasons a girl should
learn to exercise properly If she Is
to derive benefit.
I know of ono sensible mother
who, as soon as her child was able
to stand alone, taught her to uso sim
ple culture exercises on rising and
retiring. First, it was a simplo mo
tion of the hands over the head,
then camo swinging of the legs, hit
ting out from tho body, lying on the
floor and kicking the air. At six
the child coul,d fill a half hour with
elaborate exercises and not feel the
strain. To see the tiny body, filled
with the unconscious grace of baby
hood, go through the exercises and
consider it as much of a routine as
she did taking her bath, having her
hair combed or brushing her teeth,
was a delight.
Other exercises wero added as
she grew, and this girl at eighteen
would never think of dressing or pre
paring for bed without her beauty
culture helps. She can understand
in school what many of her compan
ions cannot, for ever since babyhood,
she has been cultivating what aids In
tho making of health. She is well
developed, stands erect with chest
expanded, and has good lung capac
ity. A girl should be taught that she
has a right to good health, for It Is
usually when we become conscious
of the possession of any organ that
we discover something the matter,
still a girl should understand that it
is due to herself and others that she
tako every means to keep in good
physical condition.
If the basis of good health Is ne
glected before twenty there are many
chances that it will be for the re
mainder of life. Even if the girl at
length realizes that sho has been
neglectful of herself, and starts in
to correct defects, valuable time has
boon lost that might have been im-

Vatican Mosaic Factory.
The Pope maintains a mosaic fac
tory in the Vatican. Hero the pati
ent artists works in a gallery lined
with 29,000 lockers In which repose
sticks of silica of all tho myriad
varying shades required to reproduce
the tints from canvas. A solid wooden-backed
panel is smoothly filled
with plaster to tho depth of an inch.
On this the mosaic-worker copies
the pairiting to be reproduced. Then
clay by day he cuts out little chunks
an ' fills up the gap with inch-long
bits of the silica. Thus tho picture
grows roughly In stone. In three or
four years a work 2 by 3 can bo
turned out. It is then ground down
to uniform smoothness with water
and sand under flat iron disks. Then
tho painting stands revealed. There

Science nnd Religion,
Between science and religion there
never was, and never will be, tho
least conflict. Science is "systema
tized knowledge," while religion Is
a "sentiment of tho soul," and be
tween the two there can bo not only
no conflict, but not even so much as
an argument. Science has nothing
to say concerning the truth or falsity
of the deliverances of the religious
sentiment, for the moment science
attempts to do such thing it ceases
to be science. There are many af
firmations of theology that science
opposes, but It has no quarrel with
the spiritual sense. In a word, sci
ence is neither religious nor irreligi
ous. It is simply non-religious
having nothing to say upon tho sub
ject, one way or tho other.
Microbes.
Microbes came Into existence
about fifteen years ago. Since then
they have multiplied so that they
form ono of our staple products.
Microbes aro of two kinds: tho
profitable and the unprofitable. They
are also called germs, a germ being
a micorbo who has been through col
lege. But generally speaking, a mi
crobe by any other namo costs Just
as much.
There is no law against tho manu
facture of microbes by minors, so
that every one, down to the most
diminutive infant, is constantly en
gaged in their culture. They aro
distributed b. flies, wind and doc
tors, being ono of t.ne most impor
tant assets of medical science.
Ono of the best ways to get a col
lection of microbes is from tho ruby
lips of a sweet girl. Do not tako
them all at once, but only on the
Installment plan. Remember also
that thero aro good microbes and
bad ones. Tho good microbe wears
plain clothes, is always ready to roll
up his slcevo and go to work In a
good cause; has a sincere, open,
hearty, bluff manner, and looks you
straight In tho eye. The bad micro
bo Is dressed in gaudy colors smiles
a crafty smile, and has a sandbag up
his sleeve. When an army of bad
microbes, traveling rough-shod
through your system. Is suddenly
met by an army of good microbes a
fierco battlo ensues. And if the lat
ter win It makes you feel good. But
If tho former win you feel devastat
