Washington, July 21. Vigorous support of the Canadian reciprocity agreement by Senators Hrown, of Ne braska; Stone, of Missouri, and Works, of California, ami a sM-ech against the measure by Senator Ken yon, of Iowa, made up today's debate on the measure in the senate. Hrown criticised his insurgent col leagues and praised the Ietnocrats for "having the moral courage and pat riotism to support and sustain a Re publican President," characterized a speech today of Senator Hrown in fav or of the reciprocity measure. "I want to 'express my grief, my profound grief," Senator Hrown de clared, "because the bill does not have the supxrt of some of my friends in this body whom I know at heart are in favor of lower duties. I do not foaiplain of them. 1 do not charge them with insincerity, because I know them to be sincere. Hut I simply cannot understand them. It is beyond my comprehension to appre ciate how in one session of congress I could vote for lower duties; in the next session favor a revision of the I an If a schedule at a time, ami at a third session be against this projsiii tion, which, while It is not a revision schedule, is a revision of a few schedules, not with all the coun tries of the world, but with one coun try; a plan thut I believe marks the hemnninir of the end of extortionate tariff duties in this country." The speaker declared that it was not President Taft. " but a stublmrn and loquacious senate," that was respon sible for the extra session. He de fendiNl the president from charges that he was taking too much part in legislation. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE CALL FOR APPLES FIRM.

Out of the 53 cities that I visited, in an anstonish ingly large number I found few ap ples on sule. In such places as Oma ha, Denver, Kansas City and Ues Moines the few apples that were on the market were selling at prices ranging from $2.75 to $4 a box. Practically the same condition were found in every city except New York and Chicago. "These citie are crowded with box apples. Any amount of apples could be Ixiught on the streets of Chicago for $1.25 a box. Chicago has storage in transit privileges and a hardship is worked on cities of the surrounding territory, which should be able to dis tribute fruit to adjacent territory far better than it can be distributed from the one point. For that reason, St. Iiuis. which should be equally as good a distributing point as Chicago, is handling practically no box apples. "It was certainly a pleasure for me to behold the wonderful apples on the streets in New York. The Hood Riv er Newtown looked as handsome as any Newtowns Hood River has ever placed on exhibit. However, Hood River must keep up the splendid pack that has made it famous, for all the sections of the Northwest are putting up a good pack." Mr. Criesen said that red apples will meet with a far better demand than the yellow varieties. The de mand will be better both in trfiis coun try and abroad, he said, and he ad vises growers to set more orchards to red apples. tended the invitation to the member of the Grand Lodge of Elks when they were in session at Atlantic City, just after they voted to hold the next con vention at Portland.

Foundations of English. Rut what must thrill every English speaking person i that the very foun dations of his language were laid. 1.000 years ago. In the little town of Bt. Clair-sur-Epte. between Paris and Normandy, with a present population of 569 Inhabitants and a ruined feu dal castle built by Henry II. of Eng land. Tourists who stop off at St. Clair-sur-Epte must look with their his toric eye behind that ruin. Two hun dred and fifty years before Jt was built the site was occupied by a villa dating from old Charlemagne. His great empire had been broken up by the quarrels of his incompetent suc cessors; and the so-called emperor. Big Charles, saw helplessly a swarm of Northmen pirates sailing, rowing up the River Seine, and even attack- ling Paris! President r ainere win sit with the three Northmen Kings De slde htm. Thus Normandy was squat ted bv their pirate ancestors who came to stay. In vain the magnificent Count Eudes defended Paris and drove back the Northmen. Count of Paris. Blols and Orleans. Inheritor with the great French seigneurs and people also of the Roman culture, Eudes was easily the most powerful and respected lord of West France. The people ac claimed him; and the nobles crowned him to replace Rig Charles, nui noi for long. Jealousies caused generous Eudes to resign, not to waste the land by civil war. So, in the year 893, he begged his brother seigneurs to swear allegiance to Charles the hlmple. He was simple. This Is why we find him at St. Clnlr-sur-Epte, 1,000 years ago, ilgnluR a treaty with Rollo, the North man chieftain. It was called a treaty, but after having his foot kissed Charles purely and simply ceded away to Rollo and his crowd all the present great province of Normandy. What Might Have Been. It Is momentous speculation what would have been the world s history had not Eudes miscalculated. He hoped to save France from civil war of course, to light tne Norman invad ers Eudrs would have pushed them back to their boats In the ocean. And neither you nor any living man with a drop of English blood would have been born what we are. England would have remained Saxon. A things were, see the stupendous adventure. A swarm of hungry Viking pirates suddenly became masters of Normandy when the name, Nonnaad, Northman with their chief as duke. King Haakon says they were from Norway; King Gustaf ays they were from Sweden; King Frederick says they were from Denmark. It matters little. The atupendous thing In the wlftneas with which those heathen barbarians became the magnificent Christian kntgbts and haughty aristo crat a whose "Norman blood" was cer tainly worth more than "simple faith' In the mind of Sir Walter Scott and probably of Tennyson as well. . They wore leather and aheepsklns with the wool out. They were bars) legged. They were bearded and mus tached, and the ornaments were tan gled and matted with food and drink. Their banners displayed crows, bears and dogs as emblems. Their only ar mor was odd pieces captured from their enemies. Shield they had of bull's hide. They had nothing. They needed everything and took It. One detail shows the swiftness with which they became smart. In the famous Bayeux tapestry every Nor rran of them is represented as smooth Bhaven, while the English all wear beards or mustaches. Their leader, Rollo, after sacking the castle of the count of Bayeux In the year S90. had married the count's daughter by force; yet here In 911 we find King (Emperor) Charles the Simple sctually giving him his daugh ter, Glsele, In wedlock. In three generations after Rollo Long-Sword. Sans Peur and Richard the Good we see Rollo great-great-grandson, Robert the Devil, putting his brother-in-law on the throne of Flanders, wresting the Vexin from the king pf France, forcing the duke of Brittany to do homage to him, and starting an expedition to England that was stopped only by a storm and treaty. In a trifle over 100 years they were exploiting all Normandy. Norman Conquest Reproduced. Rollo' original crowd of hungry pi rate came up the River Seine to Rou en. Here, where the river Is wide. deep and beautiful, with islands. bridges and quays for the crowds to circulate at ease, will take place the earlier water fetes representing the conquest of Normandy before that of England. Any summer's day along the Seine, Loire or other river or canal you can see rival crews of young men planted on long rowboats, armed with heavy, blunt lances and breastplates. As the rival boats approach, each chooses his man and tries to push him Into the water, and the winning boat la that which forces the other to the shore. At Caen the historic cortege will be based on the foundation or the two great abbeys, which still stand per fect William the Conqueror founded the Abbey of Men, and Matilda, his wife, the Abbey of Ladlea. Always favored by their descendants, taen in the year 1300 was "a city greater than any In England, save London." Here, In the church of the Abbey or Men. a black marble slab In front of the high altar marks the tomb of the Conqueror himself. Rollo and his son He In Rouen cathedral, bo do kicb ard the Lion Hearted and Henry IL of England. At Bayeux there will be a proces sion of Matilda and her ladies pro tected by their men-at-arms, secreta ries, prelates and pages to hand over the famous tapestry to the cathedral. The tapestry Itself will be exposed In full all summer. It Is a strip of linen cloth 230 feet long and nearly two feet broad, embroidered with colored worsteds with 68 scenes leading up to the conquest of England, each ex plained by a short Latin text, equally embroidered. Eight colors were used. Its story Is that Harold betrayed a trust. Sent by Edward the Confessor to announce to William that he would "oon be king of England." he con cealed It from tho people and lets himself be crowned by Stlgand. (Hal ley's comet appears In the next scene as a reproving portent.) Three of the most curious scenes are before Mont St. Michel already a stronghold of the duke of Brittany amid quick sands from which Harold rescues two Norman knights. Uncounted thou sands have since perished In those same sanda, and Meunt St. Michel was for centuries after the rrench bul wark against England. Obviously this wlll be the most fa vorable season Imaginable to rial, Normandy, ..
