RECIPROCITY GETS
SETBACK IN SENATE
McCall Bill Comes From the Committee
"Without Recommendation," and it
Went on the Calendar, Where it Will
Remain During Rest of Session.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Opponents of
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
attempted to put a quietus on legisla-
tion on the subject when the McCall
bill late Friday was reported "without
recommendation," from the senafe
committee on finance. So far as the
present session is concerned they took
a long step toward achieving their
purpose.
The return of the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman . Burrows, of the
finance committee, was made the oc-
casion for brief speeches both in oppo-
sition and in favor of early action. As
only a few days remain to put the bill
through a hostile body the speeches
against it were accepted generally as
its death knell, until a resurrection
should come in an extra session.
Senator Hale, who will retire March
4, said the committee had yielded to
public clamor and the charge that the
bill was to be suppressed, and had re-
ported it against the real sentiment of
a large majority of the committee.
He served notice that the bill would
have to go to the calendar to take its
course, and any effort on the part of
anyone of whatever authority "to
drive" the senate would be an un-
warranted assumption of power.
Senator Bailey of Texas, a democrat-
ic member of the committee, was re-
cognized as soon as the report was
presented by Mr. Burrows.
Declaring his opposition to it he ex-
pressed the opinion t..at the best in-
terests of the agriculturalists would
toe served by the defeat of the bill. In
pointing out some of the discrimina-
tionh from his point of view, the Tex-
as senator said that while the agree-
ment admitted wheat and cattle free
it retained the duty on flour and oeef
meat.
"Civilized people eat flour and not
■wheat, beef and not cattle," he said .
"True it was," he continued, "that the
agreement provided for a free wood
pulp, but this ohange in the tariff laws
would mean the loss of almost $500,-
000 of revenue to the treasury annual-
ly-
He had been informed, he said, that
this change would be worth $5,000,000
to the newspaiper ana magazine pub-
lisners. but for himself, he could not
consent to a measure which gave such
preference to the rich as against the
poor and needy.
t. Senator Hale concurred in all that
Mr. Bailey had said and added that
white the bill lyid been reported with-
out "recommendation the committee
had done 30 in face of the fact that an
unquestioned majority could otherwise
^have been nad for an adverse'report.
Senator Stone of Missouri, a minor-
ity member of the committee,s an-
nounced his inten..on of supporting
the measure on the ground that it
would be in the line of wise and pro-
gressive statesmanship^
Speaking briefly tor a second time
Senator Bailey said that while oppos-
ed to the bill he would not seek to de-
Jay its passage.
The bill went on the calendar where
it is subject to consideration whenev-
er the senate may decide to take it
up.
OKLAHOMA WANTS
TEXAS PANHANDLE.
Representative Patchell O.'fers Con-
current Resolution in the House.
Oklahoma City, Feb. 24.—Oklahoma
would acquire a large Si.ce cf Texas
if the concurrent resolution ofiered ih
the house yesterday by Mr. Patchell of
\ arvin count.V be agreed to by the Ok-
lahoma senate, the legislature of the
State of Texas and congress of the
1 nited States. The area desired is all
of the famous Texas Panhandle, lying
between Oklahoma ana iv~w Mexico,
and a goodly portion now separated
from this state 011 the southwest by
ned ri^er. Mr. Patchell's resolution
recites that the geographica. location,
similarity cf soil, population and many
Oiner manifest industrial, social and
political advantages, suggest that the
territory should become a part of Ok-
lahoma.
'1 ..irty-eight counties are included
as follows: IJipscomb, Ochiltree,
Hansford, Sherman, Hartley, Moors,
Hutcihinson, Roberts, Hemphill, Wheel-
er, Gray, Carson, Potter, Oldham. Deaf
omith, Randall, Armstrong. Donley,
Collingsworth, Chiluress, Hall. Bris-
coe, Swisher, Castro. Parmer. Bailey.
Lamo, Sale, Floyd, Motley. Cottle,
. arde an, Foard, Wilbarger and
Wichita.
The resolution declares that con-
sent of the Oklahoma legislature is
given upon such terms as will be fair
and just to the State of Texas, and to
the people residing in the counties
sought to be annexed, all subject,
however, to ratification by congress.
Copies of the resolution will be
forwarded to Washington and to Aus-
tin for consideration by the law-mak-
ing bodies, also to all newspapers in
bhe counties enumerated, to the end
that the question may be discussed.

Company. Of the body no trace re-

There was found, however, a silver

these were all discolored and worn.—

His will. We realize that she was
only a flower budded on eai^h to
-.oom in Heaven. We also wish to
thank the people for the kindness
shown us during our sickness and the
sickness in our famiiy prior to this
last sad hour.

DESOTO'S COFFIN FOUND.
Ferryman Discovers Qoffin of Spanish
Explorer. 1
The copper casket in which Her-
mando De Soto, the hardy Spanish ad-
Venturer and explorer of the sixteenth
century, was laid to rest under the
rippling waters of the mighty 'Missl* |
sippi he discovered, was revealed a
few days ago near yuincy, Illinois.
The unprecedented low stage of the
-.viiter in the stream has revealed the
secret of centuries.
For week4 the current has been
subsiding and falling and new sand
bars and unexpected snags and ob-
structions have been uncovered until
the river has taken on the appearance
of a wet road through a stone quarry.
A strange find was made by a ferry
man making a trip from Quincy to the
Missouri side who noticed a curious
metal object half buried in the nose of
a sand bar amid stream. It resembled
OUR WORK.
Not the daily toil of heaus and hands,
Not the gain and darkening mesmer-
ism of ambitions bands,
Not the emulation and achievement
in earth's dreary lands,
N'or the morbid grip and tyranny that
worldly power demands,
Is our work.
But uaily standing in the throng and
press,
A tower of help, and strength, and
righteousness,
The guide to Love, and Truth, and
Joyfulness,
The very light of good to manifest,
This is our work.

County Attestor Bi I Changed
The senate went 011 record ao favor-
ing a county assessors bill, but chang-
ed tlx- bill materially from tne form hi
which It panned the houae. The firm
chang)' 1 compromise amendment
by benator Smith >na. the aaaetutors
should be appointed oy the governor
to take office on January 1, 1912,
thereby allowing the pre tent assessors
to do 1 he work for thla year.
Another material change wan the
adoption of an amendment requiring
the a**e«sorH to visit every prerclnct

en though the papers and by posting
notices, and receive the proper'y
statements which are to be submitted
to him by the voters gathered there
for that purpose. He may remain at a
precinct, one, two or three days, ac-
cording to Its population.

,by Senator llorton, modeled on the
