TARIFF BILL IN SENATE.
May Not Get Through Before
August but Democrats Think
it Safe.
The five Democrat: h vot
ed against the tariff dill when it
passed tin' House Thursday were
l'roiisanl. Dtipre, Laziro and
Morgan of Louisana, on account
of tin schedule reducing sugar
L'.'i per cent and sending it to the
free li.st iri three vears, and '. 1'..
Smith i f N'i'W York. Carey and
Stafford of Wi-tcorisin, I j n f 1 i -cnas,
oted fur the hill. Pro
gressives who voted for the hill
were Kelly and Iiuplev of IVnn
s.s 1 vanin. Nolan of California and
llnau of Washingti n. Kent of
California, formerly a IJcpubli
';iii, hut now an Inepriident Pro
gressive, also Voted for the hill.
Progressive Leader Mtirdock and
1; i f his Progressive .followers
voted with the rniniority. Re
presentative (Vpley, a Progn-ss-ie,
did riot, vote, answering
"present." to his name.
The tariff fight lias shifted
from the House with its over
whelming , Democratic 'majority,
to the Senate, when' the party's
slim, majority of six already has
been reduced, as far as this hill
w eoncernea, to lour. i mess
Smwitors familiar with the pro
gress of such legislation arc mis
taken, there is little prosect of
a final vote on the hill before
August 1.
The bill's jtassage through the
Senate will be fought at every
step by a Ropublieau organiza
tion apparently entirely in ac
cord on this subject and entirely
willing to spend unlimited time
and energy in an effort to de
feat it. leaders of the Demo
crats on th Senate finance oom
niittee, which will handle the
bill, expressthe belief that vt
w01 go thFoiigh. inpractieally the
same form as it passed the
House and that their small ma
jority will stand firm to the last.
Sub-committees- of the finance
committee which have been inves
tigating the schedules of the bill
for the last few weeks, plan to
make a few changes in several
schedules but wool and sugar
and other .schedules which
brought out the hard fighting in
the house, are not to be touch
ed, according to the present plan.
The income tax and administra
tion features also are to stand.
Democratic leaders acknowledge
that the two Senators from Loui
iana will not accept the sugar
schedule, and that they might
be willing to combine with others
to defeat the whole bill.
A change of two or more De
mocratic votes would bring about
the end the Loulsianians dusire.
Although there have been reports
about the Semite that the De
mocrats intend to allow one more
Senator to vote against sugar
and another to vote again.st wool,
leaders of the finance committee
refused' to confirm it. Republi
cans who have canvassed those
Democrats who looked at all
doubtful, agreed that they had
little hoipc of success. The Re
publicans are convinced that Pres
ident Wilson will carry the day
and the party platform will be
followed and that with the ex
ception of two Senators from
Louisiana they cannot count up
on, a single vote.
As soon as the tariff bill reach
ed the Senate the Republicans
made a fight to instruct. the
finance committee to give pub
lic hearings, a thing the commit
tee had decided Hot to do. The
motion for the public hearings
was jM-nding when the Senate ad
journed until today.

Malloy Objects to Method
Execution,
of
Washington, May 17. On the
ground that death by electrocu
tion rather than hanging inter
fered witii hi constitutional
rights, Joe Malloy, of Virginia,
today perfected his appeal to the
Supreme court from the death
sentence by electrocution impos
ed upon bum by Virginia courts.
.Malloy w;is convicted of hav
ing murdered Prenilss Moore, of
Hcnnettsville, Va. After the
murder and before the trial the
commonwealth changed its meth
(kl (f death punishment from
hanging to electrocution. Malloy
claims that to him this change is
an "ex pot facto" law prohibit
ed by the constitution.
In 1MM) the Supreme court decid
ed in a New York ea.se that death
by electrocution was not a cruel i
and unusual punifdmu nt, as for-j
bidden by the coiistitutii n, but;
it has never passed upon exiud ;
point rai-sel by Malloy. ;

BRUSHING UP ON THE
THREE R S.
Present and Prospective Demo
cratic Applicants For Post
mastership. Washington, May Demo
crats who will be applicants for
postmasters at postoffices of the
f urth class all over the Fnited
S'taej, are now brushing up on
the threi R's as fast as congress
uier.'.s fraitks cait rea' h tlnni. A
goo working knowledge f the
time K' Readin', 'Rifin' and
' Rithriietie U about all that i
iiecis-nry for one to have to be
postmaster in an office of the
fourth ela. provided one ha.s a
Jihlee convenient, to the depot to
house Fnele Sam's mail. And
now oh, joy -no gxd Democrat
need be dismayed beean.se a Re
publican i.s in office, for Presi
l")t Wilson lias .so uiiieiuled
former Pri.sidciit Taft'.s obnox
ious executive order granting
civil service immunity that in
cnuubent, will have to stand an
examination to hold their place.
Moreover, as niany as three who
come out well on the examina
tions are eligible to appointment.
The civil service eotwnijwion wdll
decide which of the three Ls to be
named.
Practically every member of
the lions.' of Representatives is
mailing out huge Ktacks of in
structions to applirants ami
would-be applicants. And they
have all pestered' the department
fjr application blanks, but have
received none. No aplication
blank will be issued until the
places for which examinations
are to be held become vacant.
Qualifications.
To be a fourth-cla.ss postmas
ter you must be a citizen of the
United States,, either -.. native . or
naturalized. You nust be a.s
much as twenty-one years old,
unles you are, a woman in a
Slate where the legal age Ls 18.
In that case 18 is enough. And
if the office pays as much a.s
$o00 a year you cannot be more
than sixty-five years old. You
may belong to any ohureh you
like and may vote whatever
ticket you choose only, after
you have taken office yen must
not be politically active. You
must receive ius much as TO per
cent on your examination paper
unless you are a person honor
ably discharged from the military
or naval service by reason of dis
ability resulting from wounds re
ceived or sickne.i incurred in tiie
line of duty. In that case the
passing mark Ls 65 per cent, and
that entitles the applicant to be
placed ahead of any other appli
cant of no matter what percen
tage. No age lLmitation.s are ap
plicable to this sort of an as
pirant. Due of the piestion.s an as
pirant must answer will show
whether or not he can figure out
his own .salary. This will prol
aby be the easiest problem in
the lot if the applicant can im
agine that be is going to get it.
Another qualification is that he
can add eight whole numbers and
"from their sum subtract another
given whole number." The ap
plicant must siliovv, too, how many
po. office boXe.s id a given .size
1
Y,,)
can He put in a ceriain space.
nd in case the government
should require a carpi t or mat
ting on the po.st office floor, ap
plicants must .show that they
can compute the number f yards
Ileee.s.sol''.
A high sense of patriotism will
probably inspire enough people
to learn these difficult require
ments to make quite a good-siz-
d number of applicants available
And there are thousands and
thousands of these posti ffiees t
be managed. Naturally, appli
cants must lie residents of the
districts .served by these post
offices. The Postoffiee Department
serves notice that it has no con
nect ion with any civil service
sehoo or institute doiiur business
by corrcspoiidneee or otherwise,
and has no information "to fur
nish in regard to sin-b." Never
theless, correspondence schools
."i!l n ap a rich harvest in spite
of the fact that the Postoffiee
Department furnishes freiwill the
information needed. The corres
pondence s IuhiIs probably be
gan preparing "copy" for ad
vertisements as soon aa President
Wilson' order wm Issued. As:

New Verses to Bible.
Fondoii, May . Some long-1
' Inis.s'. If Ver.ses of the NcW TeS ,
t a in i fit are included in the man
j U scripts of the g'r-pel. discovered
in Kg.M't six years ago and juir
ehased by Charles L. Freer, of
(Detroit, Mich., according to a:
j.study made of tin J-'n-er manu -:
scripts by tin- I.ornbun Times. A1
l.ies'uuile of tin imnux-ripts has
I ri jiresented to the I'.riti.sh
Museuni by the I'nive'r.sity ifi
Michigan, to whinh Mr. Freer
.sigiosl the ta.sk of publication,
and. according t the Times'
study, there have been found in
the oh1 of St. Mark' several
verses which occur in no other
hnowu manuscript of the New
Testament, although they were
known to St. Jerome, who quotitf
part of them.
In the Freer manuserijrt, after
the passage in which it Ls said
that Jesus upbraided His disci
ples for their unbelief, the text
continues, as follows:
"And they excused themselves,
saying that this age of lawle.s
nesH and uidndief is under suit an,
who, through the agency of un
clean spirits, suffers Tiot the true
power of (Jod to be apprehend
ed. "For the cause, they say unto
Christ, reveal now at once Thy
righteownes.
"And Christ said unto them,
the limit of the yearn of the
powers of satan Ls (not) fulfill
ed, but it draweth near. (The
text here and elsewhere w -eoc
rupt). z
"For the sake of those that
have sinned was I given up unto
death, that they may return un
to the i"uth and sin no more;
bat ma." lherit the spiritual and
incorruptible glory of righteous
ness in heaven."
A large number of variations
in other portions of the New
Tcataoient are also pointed out
by the Time in the Freer manu
scripts. Engine rrigtitened Convict aod
He Nevr Came Back.
Monroe Knquirer.
Orow MrothcTs hire a number
of convicts from the chain gang
to run their fertilizer mixer dur
ing the rush season and on last
Tuesday motTiilng- while all hands
were busy at the fertilizer works,
near the cotto"-. platform, the
gasoline cjiv-j "went to the
bad" and when the rapid fire
of the exhaust sounded like the
rattle of musketry and scrap iron
began to fly the convicts ami
everybody eLse about the place
made a break for a place of
.safety. One convict, Will May
field, colons!, who was sent up
for 45 days for beating his way
on a train, was so badly seared
that he Ls running yet. Police
men .guards and others mounted
hors's and tried to catch up with
the fleeing convict and tell him
that the danger was all over and
that it would be perftvtly safe
for him to return to his work,
but thty could not overtake him.
We do not blame that convict
for going "yon way" when a
trasoline engine began to tear its
"iniianis" out. The I'.nquirer
man was right near an engine
once that ran wild and tore it
self apart and hurled pieces of
its anatomy about like they were
sled out of a gun, and he ran, he
did. and the only reason he ran
was that he could not fly. We
never could .see that there Is
any bravery in standing and let
ting a fool gasoline engine throw
Hera i of it.self at you.

by preaching the Gospel of God '

and' certainly the only meann by

Apiealing for greater equality
in church work the Rev. Mr.

"Kquality In Christ Ls the clear,
thrilling note of the glorious
gospel of the blessed God. Sound
it out till all the earth skill

rich aikl holy meaning. When
we fail to ajvply this blessed doc
trine in our daily lives, we do
ithvilculable injury to the cause

of our Lord. We must never for
a minute admit, even to ourselves,
that the rich and the poor, the
learned and the ignorant, can
not worship, live aixl work to
gether in the same church. If
the poor will not go to the church
on the lioulevard, then let boul
evard dweller go to the ehun-h
of the poor. The life of a eixn

church of the poor i.s worth ten

the few older ni'smbers left were
fighting the battles over. When
I met the oldest member of the
colony, who had left the United
States in I860, the impulse came
to test this subject. I mention
ed the fact that my own father
had1 served in the Union army ami
fought for his country on that
side. This old man, who was
past the allotted three-score-and-ten,
and had fought with that
intrepid warrior. Stonewall Jack
son, then told me the whole his
tory of the colony and the caus
es that led to its establishment.
'It was a mistake,' he said, 'but
we did not realize it then, and
afterward it was too late to sac
rifice what we had here and move
back. We still love the flag.' "
"When Senator Root," to
take up the thnad of" another
point, 'the secretary of state, vis
