If the downward-re-, -vision Republicans in the senate do not meet the Democrats in a friendly spirit, this plan may be abandoned and a sweeping tariff bill on. purely revenue lines may be sent to the senate and the f issue for the 'next campaign made on it There are of course divisions in the Democratic membership but the party has sot been so nearly homogeneous and united for 26 years as it is today,' if out ward manifestations are true guides lo : inward feeWngs. y, ;v'.,; ' Democrats on Trial. ------ - The Democrats realise that they are on trial and that upon how they conduct their, part of the government for the next year end a half depends entirely whether they will have a chance to s cure the senate and the executive after ' March , 1913. There are three men who,' are being very closely studied by the Democrats, here, They , are Governor Judson Har mon of Ohio, Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and Speaker to be Champ , Clark of Missouri. -; . -- If the Democratic national convention were to ; bo held - this year instead of ; next, one of these men would undoubt edly be. selected as the' party's preel - dentist candidate, -with Harmon-- first choice, Clark second and Wilson third. How it will be next year depends largely upon what may happen between now and then. - . , ( - Bon to Be 'Senator. Luke Lea, the newly elected senator from Tennessee, Js not only the young est man ever elected to the senate of the United States, but he has been headed for the senate ever since he was born. When he. was born, bis mother said her son was going to be a senator, . and the first time a senator waa elected ' from his stats after he reached the re .i Quired age he was chosen for the place. He is 9 feet 47 an able lawyer and an astute politician. Some folks think he Is .destined to become the leader on. the Democratic side. George Washington Bees Jeff Davis, , A personage of great dignity and a good many years walked up to the door keepers at the entrance of the senate chamber and said bs 'wanted to see Senator Jeff Davis. , ' . . ."Where is your cardT" Whereupon the colored man produced this! :i W. '.' : "George Washington." , - The. notion 1 of George Washington coming around to speak with Jeff Davis ; was a good deal for the doorkeepers, and they were more or less overcome. Still, -they sent tn for the Arkansas senator, and he came out to meet his , distinguished visitor, Dewey ravors Boxing. Boxing will not be abolished in the navy jr Admiral George Dewey has any thing to say about it and the word of Admiral Dewey carries weight among v our sea xigmerg. we - , . - ., , In view of two or more. deaths n eently on board United States war ves sela, as. the result Of boxing, bouts be tween enlisted men,; the .question, as to whether the sport should be encouraged has arisen. The practice has been con demned In Some .quarters, but Admiral "Dewey says:- : , r ' " "' ' "In the words of a famous warrior, you eannot make an omelet without break ing eggs, and how can you expect men to fight without teaching them how?" Continuing, the admiral told' of thevnu merous bouts , that occurred on vessels Jie . has .commanded, and Said: : "Why many times the chaplain of the cruiser or bettleehlp-wbuld be referee. and ' sometimes the chaplain himself would put en the gloves. l- think- boxing 4s .very valuable to the men of the United States navy, and' as a sport should be - encouraged in every way possible. - "The deaths that are reported to have resulted tn recent years were accidents.

With a vote of 5 "for and II against, Jhus falling by six votes to give s needed two-thirds msjorlty, the resolution of Senator Brlstow of Kansas, amended by the senate Judiciary committee and re ported by Senator Borah of Idaho, for populsr election of senators, remains an issua to be disposed of In the next ses sion. Senator Borah was la charge of the resolution, and - conducted a , bril liant flgbt for ita adoption, . .The house, of course, would have adopted it; three to one without debate,i--e--:t-'-;i - Sixteen years ago, William Jennings Bryan, then a' member of-' that house tram Nebraska, proposed a. plan which he thought would have inaugurated the reform of the senate. Jt wss that a re solution be drafted permitting any stats if it chose to do so to elect its senators by popular1 vote. v.- .i-,-- ."If," Mr. 'Bryan said. "the resolution for the amendment of the; constitution make STjob-populaelectlon lot . senstorsl mandatory, it is certain mat an amenq nteht will be offered and adopted, either denying to the federal government don-, trol of such .elections, or giving the fed eral government control If the former, then the northern senators wjil oppose tt; If the. latter, the southern senators wilt oppose.it But If the amendment merely permit and - not compel :i any stats to. elect its senators in that man ner, an Immense, majority in both houses will support It. The reform then will be before the people on us merits, several states immediately will adopt the new- metuod. snd the good results that will come from it will Insure its spreading the .country .-oyer," In the light pf the present demand for that reform, it seems probable that Mr; Bryan in 1894 was seeing the wiser plan, which, if followed, would by this tfroe nave been in effect ia every State In the United States. It lis known that the resolution which was defeated Feb ruary , g will b reintroduced ; in tha sixty-seeond congress, and it is believed that It will pass the senate. ; Several new senators will bs strongly for It, among them Pol ndexter of Washington, Johnson of Mains, Works of California who succeeds Flint, who voted against it, Martina of New Jersey, and others. ing the '80s In organising labor unions. In this work, he was aided by Randall Cramer and Leo Ogden, both of. whom are members of the British parliament, and are coworkers .of John; Burns, the labor leader. . When Joseph' Martini went to London In search of volunteers for the war which Garibaldi was' carrying on Jn It aly, Mr. McGregor enlisted, and went to Italy. He served through the Neapoli tan campaign, and; fas on the staff of Garibaldi when the liberals took Rome. He was ssverely wounded in the leg by a cannon shot at the battle of Messina, After the war he returned to London and again engaged in labor organisation.

' The en tire addition commands a splendid view FOR WOMEN NOW Fashionable New York Hotels Open, Dining ; Rooms to v "Lady" Smokers.-. (TTnited Press iAtnes Wire.) New York,. March 11. It wasn't so Very long ago that the only place here abouts where women .could be seen smoking in public were in the cabins of Incoming llness. And these women devotees' of the weed were mostly for eigners. : Today half the women- in' one of the publlo dining rooms' of a; big New York hotel, lately . opened, - puff nonchalantly or nervously as the case may be at their cigarettes, without creating , fciore than 'passing notlcs. Cigarettes, specially made for "lady" smokers; are even listed on the "menus. : As this change in the public attitude lias - taken place with :. unusual swift ness, those who model their conduct on more severe lines are wondering how long It wlli.be before' women smoke on the , streets and at the ; theatres; the big stores hsve smoking rooms and the ears be assailed, with such expressions as; '-:fV.'v::ft'c;::.'.;- y? -.

' Thers isn't a place in town where the poor girl or ( the eoclal outcast can enjoy a "coffin naif In public. ' Even the cheap dance halls, against the evils of which so many vir tuous tirades are, aimed,' have private rooms set apart for smoking. One or two of the favorite drinking resorts, yclupt cafes, of actual . and, would-be rounders, permit their women or rather girl patrons to smoke in tha early morning hours. No such restrictions, however; hedge the befurred and bejew eled women that gather at the Madison avenue hostelry, A woman writer who sat among these feminine smokers divided i them into three . classes: Cosmopolitan woman who smoked becauco they really wanted to, those who- smoked out of bravado and those who smoked simply because they wanted to be "good felloes.' r Of the second class, the writer says:: ; -v '"They held their cigarettes as though they were darning needles and cast fur tive glances toward the door lest their pot conventional broker husbands 'catch them unawares.

The Improvement : of Westover Ter race, according to Mr. Lewis,' is to be carried out according to a, well defined plan and . the regrade work when com pleted will leave 400 or more beautiful ly 'graded ' and terraced building sites where now stand .a number pf rough precipitous hills. ' , ' c- a ; Tile feature of the plan Interesting to surrounding property holders is the fact Jhat the streets in Westover Terrace are to Join at grade with those of the tracts at the south snd west. In other words, there will be no high banks left at the south and west boundary lines of the-property A minimum restriction of (5000; is to be enforced. Mr. Lewis says that on account of the impossibility of ons lot owner so. building his house as to interfere with the view of his neigh bor's house, no restriction Will be , enJ forced ' requiring that . a 'residence , be placed a certain distance back from the Street.
