H-fore tho discussion ended It was mxue plain that Ring County waa out rtr a larger reprreeniailon in trio llmis and that alignment with rierr and a frw of the Suund counties waa bln formed to acromp!lh that end.

The sensation of tho day was sprung hy tea.-h of Mason, when ho threw deft Into the teeth of the King County delegation to attempt to control tho slt'iation. . , "You fellows of Seattle started this flht yourselves, but your coup failed to work." said iieach. -Ton thought you would take us by surprise by morln to eliminate, the provi.lon giv ing fend dOrelllo County a represen tative, but we are ready to beat you at your own in right now or at any other time. You are not strong enouxh to coerce some of the members who aro wavering;. Wo hare you on tho hip and you will know It when thla sub ject Is put to a rote. "The people of Washington havo crown sick and tired of !o domineer ing tactics of Seattle and King County. lth ths help of I'lerco and Spokane Counties you hava been able to control everything In tho state In the past. e want to serre notice rlsht now that tho triple alliance has been shat tered and the "Cow counties' aro on top. In tho future other portions of tho state will recelro legislation to which they are entitled. We are ready to roto on this subject right now." Kins Los . 7S to 1. trrlrht of King denied that any cau cus had been tr.ado with Iterce and a few S'kani County members for tho reapportionment. Hearh replied that ho had a copy of the proposed arrange ment In his po- ket and would be glad to let Wright look It orer. Tho effect of Beach's speech Indicated that he had struck a strong lead with nearly all the small county representatlres In the 'ate aa the propoeed art to leavo Pend rforellle County without a representa tive wss voted down by TI to 1. McArdte of JeSerson. who la ronslJ errd the hardest worker for tho In terests of the small counties, also ar raigned tho tactics of tho King County ri-iesatlon. He Insisted that tho bill should pass without change. "King County t here with 17 men and now the Seattle bunch wants to ln. reue Its number by taking repre sentation away from the proposed county of Pend d'Orel' Ie. said MrAr-lIe. That shows you how they are trying to hog things. Wo liavo been up against Just such a situation aa that for years and havo been helpless. King Delegation (drilled. "Thero aro IT of you In this House and you are drawing down collectively S a day. What you need Is to boll yourselves down, to one 33-a-day man Instead of going around hero In 17 dif ferent directions as you aro now doing on this question." While the representatives of the, small eountlee are congratulating them selves that they won the fl-st skirmish In the- reapportionment flvht. they re alise that tho big tight will come when ths House takes up the question In Its fnal course. If todar's deliberations rount for anything. It seems certain that the smaller districts will win over the large counties. At a short session of tho. Senate to day, the bill amending tho law cover ing punishment for contrmpt of court received attention of the lawyer mem bers of tho body. Tho bill has for Its purpose prnrtslon to permit newspapers to crltlrLse court decisions with a free) liand. Iandon and Nlhla of King spoke for the bill and Roser.haupt of Spokane and Collins of King declared that tho present law should remain as It stands. "Thla bill should bo defeated." said Fenator Piper. 'It waa introduced hero so that certain papers could hare tho privilege, which they earnestly seek, to say anything they want about the rourta. No. reputable newspaper would ob)e.-t to the present law on libel." After a short discussion, the bill was postponed Indefinitely. Legacy Tax Bill Pw.

Assert ing that the unanimous consent agree ment under which the Senate was pro ceeding had been obtained when only 1 or IS Senators were present and there fore It should not be recognliod. Owen of Oklahoma passed to a general dec laration against the conduct of any burners by the prosent Congress. He gave as his reason that men now In pub lic life had been repudiated at the polls last November. No reply was made to Owen, but w H llam Alden Smith, of Mlchlsan. an nounced his Intention to cast his vote in opposition to the bill and at the same time said he bolleved In discriminating duties In favor of American vessels. Galllnger. author of the measure, re plied: Attempt Is Gallingcr's Last. "I cannot understand how any Sena tor can square his conscience so as to favor discriminating duties as against direct aid. when the one policy takes the money from the Treasury before it Is paid In and the other afterward; I do not see the difference In principle." Elaborating his reasons agalnut the duty plan, Ualllnger closed by saying: "I have done the best I could do and this Is the last effort I shall make In this direction. If this legislation falls. It will be a long time before anything more will be done to place our llatt upon the seas, and to restore tho pres tige of American shipping." Sherman's Xoto Save Hill. There was no great general Interest manifested, even at the laat. when the voting began In committee of the whole on the bill Itself. As the rollcall pro ceeded. It was recognised the vote was running close, but the real situation waa not grasped until the Vice-President's announcement of a tie was made. Sherman performed his psrt expedi tiously. on this question the vote stands 39 to !. a tie." he said. Without hesita tion, he added: The chair votes In the affirmative: the ayea have It; tiie substitute Is adopted." The bill then was transferred from committee of the whole to the Senate and there the vote on Its passage was repeated. The Vice-President again cast the deriding vote, thus accom plishing the final passage by the Senate. The unusual situation aroused in tense interest. This feeling was ex pressed by a general burst of laughter, but the fact that Galllnger did not Join therein attested his feeling In con nection with the fate of the measure that had commanded his best efforts for many years. What Bill Provides. As passed, the bill authorizing the pnyment by the postoffice for the carry ing of malls of t a mile on the out ward voyage to second-class American bull, vessels plying between American ports and porta in the Philippine Islands. Japan, China and Australasia and between American ports and ports In South America, south of the Equator, and the payment of 12 a mile to thlrd rlass American ships similarly engaged. Stops at American ports In the South Atlantic are provided for. It la explicitly declared that no contract shall be awarded to any per son or corporation engaged In any competitive transportation by railway, or who Is employed In exporting or Im porting merchandise In his own behalf. There also Is a provision limiting the expenditures In any one year to t4.000.000. or to the surplus earnings of the ocean mail-carrying business. Kelson Starts New Conflict. No sooner had the result on the sub sidy bill been announced than another sharp conflict was precipitated. Nel son and Borah were both on their feet, but the former first obtained recogni tion. "I more that the Senate take up the bill authorizing the lea-sing of coal lands In Alaska." he said. "Is that motion subject to amend ment?" asked Borah. . The result of the adoption of Nelson's motion would have been to give the Alaska bill -the place of unfinished business on the calendar, which had been vacated by the subsidy bill, and Borah bad counted on getting the point of vantage for the resolution providing for the election of Senators by direct rote of the people. Evidently he was somewhat discomfited by Nelsonts move. "The motion Is not amendable," ruled the chair. There was an awkward predicament and In an instant the Senate waa thrown Into confusion. The situation Why I Lost My Job Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Can not Satisfy Their Employers. "I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envel ope comes along. It Is usually, "Your services no longer required." If the truth were known, the reason for their unceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general Indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo waa lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from outside In fluence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of "floaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no satisfaction to others or to themselves, constantly growing older and less useful, with n.- ambition, no will power, and no hope. Kvery man require from every other ribi the best that Is In him. But no mrn can use or get the best that is lu himself until he Is first free from all fretful Indispositions and worries. That waa my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why - I lost my Job. My stomach in the first place was al wry out of order, and I was worrying about It and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end. There are thousands like me, going about with "quick lunch" faces, dys peptic manners, and repulsive atmos pheres. No employer wants such men's eervlces. Take my advice. A healthy stomach Is half the battle, for it keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. I have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position, and my employer is satisfied and so am I. I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tabletn which I was told were good for the worst caes of Indigestion and dyspepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference In my condi tion. One Ingredient of Stuart's Pyspepsla Tablets digests 3000 grains of food. The stomach doesn't have to work at all. The Tablets do all the work, no matter how heavy your menl. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure brash, eructations, burning sensations, bloat. Irritations, loss of appetite. nausea, heartburn, lack of energy, loss of memory and dyspepsia and Indiges tion In their very worst forms. No other little tablets in the world can do so much. You should carry them around with you wherever you go and take them regularly after meals. Then you will realize what It Is to be freed from stomach torment, and have a clear mind, a quick mem orv. a happy disposition, comfort and rest.

Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich. was relieved by a motion to adjourn, offered by Hale. Borah was not dis posed to quit, and he and many of his followers voted against adjournment. "The vote is 37 to 37. a tie." again announced the Vice-President, and for the third time within 30 minutes he cut the Gordlan knot by casting his vote In the affirmative. As a result the Senate adjourned after an exciting day. and In i.ie full consciousness that the conflict over the resolution for the direct election of Senators bad only been postponed.
