July 13.?Two Import? ant Insurgent speeches against the Canadian reclpi-.* ity bill were made today when Senators LaFollette. of Wisconsin, and Brlstow, of Kansas. Introduced their amendment and si i?ke in favor of them and against the specific featurea of the pending bill. Sanator LaFollette excoriated Pres? ident Taft'a administration, not only with reference to the tariff legslatton proposed, but also on h's conserva? tion policies. Senator Lrtstow renew? ed his fight against the present sugar tariff, and urged the repeal of the "sixteen duties standard test on Im? ported sugar, which, he declared, op? erates entirely in the Interests of the American Sugar Refining Company. Hoping to reach a vote on the re? ciprocity bill next week, which Chair? man Penrose. of the Senate finance < ommlttee. regards aa "next to a cer? tainty." leaders on both sides of the Senate chamber are figuring serious? ly on the subsequent programme. Most of them have counted upon get? ting away after perfunctorily voting on the Democratic free list and wool? en bill*, hut today It became evi? dent that the other legislation will be pressed for consideration. The friends of the Arizona and New Mexico Statehood and reappor ttonment bills will demand votes, as will advocates of the campaign pub? licity bill. Senator LaFollette reviewed, act by net. the Administration of President Taft In unsparing terms and declared that the contest Involved was the "fight between the plain people and confederated privilege." "Considered as a measure of re? ciprocity." said Senator LaFollette of the Canadian agreement, "it violates every tariff principle of reciprocty h-retofoi,. ejBSjffjgggd in the platform, declarations of the Republican party ani r*"^, nimend"'! ly former Republl can Pr-sid*?nt. i\.? ! i tariff bill, it violates ?ver> tariff prln cipte and platform promise upon "^rh? h William Howard Taft wp ?? . d President of the Fnited States. "In the beginning It was heralded as a blessing to consumers. Sc waji the tariff bill of 1009. It promises t> re? duce duties for the benefit of the peo? ple. It reduces no duties, the effect of which can ever reach the people, but It does reduce duties for the mil? lers, the packers. Standard Oil, the brewers, the coal combines and in some measures for the already grossly protected interests. It is nothing It pretends to be, and pro? fesses to he nothing that it Is. It Is s little brother of the Paype-Aldrb h bill, the greatest legislative wrong In? flicted upon the American pecple tn hblf a century." The speaker said that the pending legislation bssed on the C.inadk.n pac* wan gg related to the "strange course of Mr. Tuft upon the tariff question snd the protective policies which he was elected to maintain," that the real, stable worth of his rec? ommendations could not be fairly Judged without reviewing the more Important Issues Involved In his elef> Hon. and the most Important acts of his administration. Continuing his criticism of Mr. Tsffs administration Senator La? Follette said Throughout th?? tirst pages of bis Hr-t g.-io r . I m he found no SJSShSS to say a Word for the great measure* that had made ?h. m ine of his predecessor n\.r?d and loved everywhere In th.- Fnted States. It Is to be wondered at that the KepnbhV can voter In ItlO f. it that be bad *evecai ssases is settle, a president Who h? h o| . |c ted, believed him to be the custodian of the Roosevelt pollcle*. I III .1.-Ollis-, d the lb...Hee. lt Csblnet an I hptolnted in their places men. In the u.-?ln. of known hostility to I ho .e po|i? The Congressional investigation of the Alaska coal s< andal salil he. confirmed the public opinion, which ha?l alr?adv reached the stage of con? viction, that Halllnger was using his off !? lal powffr to aid the Morgan-Oug genhelrn Interests In wrongfully M - quiring control of the Alaska coal fields. The subsequent history of the Alaskan coal lands scandal simply confirms the bad faith and betrayal of public Interest, which the earlier testimony so clearly established. "Heir to the Roosevelt poMsleg as a Presidential candidate. Mr. I'aft was a pronounced progressive and the most enthusiastic Roosevelt champion from the first to the last of th#? eampagn. Thre. months af? ter he was Inaugurated he isesaed to have forgotten that there bo' eVOf teen well known Roose\elt policies. He had no sooner taken his oath of otlir.- than he sacrificed the progres? sive cause for the support of Aldrich and Cannon and their reactionary prof ra mine. "Reciprocity is ? popular catch Word. The President seized up??n it. Ht made an executive compact the basis, not of I reciprocity treaty hut of a tariff hill. Upon this false ba he seeks to voice it through with < ut amendment Off change. "The Canadian pact Is unjust to :{.?,,000,000 people. "Joined with the Executive to force this bill through Congress are the newspapers, frankly admitting their lishnesa amounting to many mil? lions of dollars, the railroads, the ever-protected manuaft turers and V radically every trust and combina? tion backed by Morgan and Morgan Influences." j Senator liristow denounced what I he characterized as an alliance of J certain stand-pat Republican Sena tors w ith the Democ rats to pass the J measure and "permit the inequalities I of the tariff to remain." He referred to the bearing of this legislation on the comlrg national lections, Intimating the Democrats I might use their record in the House! on this Issue to urge Speaker Champ j Clark for the Presidency. If this had been an honest iffort I to relieve the American people from I the burdens of the excessive tariff I taxation, the high duties on trust controlled products would have been tirst attacked," he said. "Hut the Sugar Trust, the Amerl-1 can Woolen Company, the Steel Trust, I the Smelters* Trust, the Rubber Trust! and all of those great concern* that J have monopolized the American mar- I ket and used high protective duties! to charge excessive prices to the I American people are left untouched, while the President of the Unite JI States and the Democratic malority I in both branches of Congress h*ve| joined In an attack on the duties of I the agricultural schedule, duties that! have never been a burden to th?? I American people, because they have! never materially increased the. price! of the products upon which thevl were Imposed. j Democratic leaders have for I half century made violent attacks on I the duties that protect the m^uafc-l tur.ng barons of the East, but now. when they have an opportunity to re- I Move the people of burdens which I thev have so bitterly complained, they I to do It. I combination on this floor be-1 certain stand-pat Republicans, J ntlng a great manufacturing I and a majority of the Demo? crats. has, we are told, decided that no amendments shall be atached to J this Canadian bill, and that soon at-j ter its Is passed Congress is to ad ourn. This combination is to visit its wrath on the farmer and give the trust a chance to escape any imme- j diate disturbance. "If the plan succeeds, the stand-j patters save their high duties on man-J ufaetured articles; the President gets! even with the insurgent farmer Of the West and makes friends with the! newspapers. | friendship which he! has *..r.a.\ needed during the past two! veais, and the Democrats are given! an issue for the campaign next year, which la the thing they most desire. They will point with pride to the roe*] Ord Which the House has made, andl Incidentally this proud record of the HottSe may call favorable attention to ?he ?inalillcatlons of it3 Speaker for .he Presidency." ' Mr. liristow declared the President never bad said he would veto reelp roelt) with a tariff "rider." and hi thought Mr. Taft should be put to the test. lie declared the Canadian bill was i in the Interest of Uli trust protected arti' b s and directed against the farm? er, "robbing the farmer with insult? ing Insolence." While hi believed in the protective tariff^ he prot Sited against, "that policy being made the band maiden of gISSd and avarice." Charging tin stand-pat Republicans with a betrayal oi the Republican platform of It**, Mr. BrtStOW said h" left ' It to .ho standpat RspUbll? eins and their Democratic cohorts to find oonaletonr y In the action <?f the President and his leaders."

KING MAXASSEII of our last lessou had a bad son, Amon, who reigned but two years, aud was murdered by his courtiers lit his owu palace. His son. Josiah, tbe central figure of today's study, became king iu his eighth year. By the time he was sixteen his heart had begun to seek after and to desire to serve the Almighty God. By the time he was twenty his religious con? victions were so deep and fixed, and his authority as a king so In las? owu hands that he dared to begin the work of reformation. The idols and their temples aud groves for Idolatrous worship were destroyed. The valley of Hlnuom. as already suggested, was desecrated and made a dumping-place for the offal of Je? rusalem. The temple of the Lord was re? paired and cleans? ed of all its idola? trous defilements and worship and praise therein to tbe Almighty was restored. More than this. tie king extended his influence for the destruction of idolatry Into what was once the territory of the ten tribes, north of bis kingdom. Mistsks to Assums Thst Wild Osts Must First Bs Sown What a force there is la our text. "Keinember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth!" What a great mistake some parents make in assum? ing that their children must have an experience in "sowing wild oats" be? fore they will be prepared to appreci? ate righteousness and become its serv? ants! This thought is reflected upon the minds of tbe young, both male and female; rarely do they seek to live by a higher standard than that ex? pected of them by their parents or guardians. We have known saintly mothers to unintentionally Iny snares for the feet of their children by in? troducing them to ways of the world in which they themselves would not 1 walk. Their expressed sentiment was, "I must not put upon these children the weight of the cross, nor expect of them salntship; If ever they become truly consecrated saints of God they will then know the trials of the 'nar? row way' and have plenty of them." Alas! such Christian mothers have failed to grasp the situation properly. They have failed to realize that, at the present time, there is no real hap? piness in the world except In the "nar? row way." A Certain Simplicity and Honesty In tee Mind of Every Child Of the few who do find tho narrow way after having walked in the broad road their plaint Is, "Oh. why did 1 not earlier And the way of the Lord, the way of Truth. Joy. peace and hap? piness!" Notwithstanding tho depravity with which all arc born, there appears to be a certain simplicity and honesty in uu.e niatusts//// ,he mln(i ot every ^jtafr^/;./ child. It Is that principle which must be used by teachers and help? ers In general, if the child Is led In the right way by which he would most quickly at? tain a relation' "hip and harmony The inght way with his Creator; nor Is it necessary always that there ?hill he a preceptor. At times, under God's providence, the message from on High reaches the heart and draws it with seemingly little resistance. The hollownees >f life la perceived, the need of wisdom from on High Is recog? nized, and perhaps by the servant, perhaps through parental Instruction, perhaps through the counsels of a friend, perhapa by a tract or a book, the young heart la shown the way of wisdom ami is pointed to the Lord. We are to remember that the will is the real direct P of our destiny, under Divine providence, and that it is un? important to have the will rightly di? rected and established. Many a one is In the broad road of sin and selflsh Boas' away from tiod today?who has 10 his makeup many good qualities en? tirely out Of sympathy with his posi? tion and course In life. But without the will to guide, to lead, he goes downward. Similarly, there are some on the narrow way who have many physical, mental and moral blemishes of heredity continually drawing them toward the broad road, but who are kept In the narrow way of the Lord, not by the self w ill of the flesh, but by the power of a renewed will. How im? portant, then, the proper directing and fixing of our wills In youth! How much greater blessings we may enjoy In the present life, and bow much more adequate preparation we may thereby ha \ e for the future life! King Josiah of today s study is an example of the proper course for every young person to take First of all. tin heart should be given to the Lord In the days of \outh. before the evil days and evil experiences have come; be fore one shall have learned so much o evil that t! i remainder of life would not aufflce to eradicate it. ...?ivf The Wrong Way. Mr. Harry Dlckson, of Blshopvllh >. si in the cltj Friday, PUBLISHING HOUSE UNDER | BOND ON CONTRACT, Qucetons of importance in Conner* lion With Text-book Adoption Du*? e isscd. Columbia, July l l,?Several mat- 1 tera of Importance wore discussed at a meeting of the state board of ed? ucation held yesterday. At the conclusion of the meeting J. K. Swearlngen, the State superin? tendent of education and secretary of the board, made the following an? nouncement: "After a recess of 30 days the State board of education held a short ses? sion yesterday in the office of th<; governor. All members were present, and much important business was transacted. MP, F, Hough appeared before the board in behalf of the 11. F. Johnson company of Richmond. This house was offered a contract for basal third, fourth and lifth readers. These IV.i u - era are known as 'graded classics' and are extensively used among the inde? pendent schools. "The publishing house has not a. yet accepted the contract on those three readers, because it could not meet the GO per cent, exchange allow? ances offered by the Wheeler company in Chicago on the high-priced primer, first and second readers of the new basal series adopted by the board. Under the new contract the primer sells for 25 cents, the first reader for 25 cents and the second reader for 35 cents, while in the Johnson graded classics the third reader sells for 32 cents, the fourth reader for 35 cents and the fifth reader for 35 cents. "The State treasurer now holds a deposit of $l,ooO, guaranteeing the ability of the B. F. Johnson company to execute whatever contract ft might receive from the State board. The surrender of the contract on the part of the company will cause the for feiture of this deposit. The deposit of $1.000 will in that case he paid into the State treasury as part of 'he permanent school fund. "Such a procedure la almost un? heard of in text-book history. One well known representative of a large publishing house declared that in his 12 years' experience he had never known this situation to be duplicated. "The situation is interesting, for tlie State hoard will now be called upon to make a new adoption of basal readers completing the serie3 begun by the Wheeler primer and first and second readers. "The publishers recommend that it. U Bryan & Co., of Columbia, to manage the central text-book deposl tory, and this recommendation waJ approved. The State board also ad? opted the treatise on andvanced Eng lish syntax, by Prof. E. B. Setsler of Newbeiry college, for use in the 11th grades of the high schools; the Gil derslee\es-l'.odge Latin grammar and Myers' short history of mediaeval and modem times. "The controversy concerning Waddy Thompson'* history was adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties. The language to which objection had been made now stands: The route of the army was marked by the destruction of property. Columbia, the capitol of the State, was laid in ashes.' Thlc sentence was modified and as accepted reads as follows: "The army marked its route by tin destruction of prop? erty and laid Columbia, the capital id* the Stale in ashes." "The committee on course of study will submit its report as soon as pos? sible, and state Superintendent Swear? lngen, will have this printed for dis? tribution as soon as It is placed in hla hands. Many Inquiries are being received at the office of the state su? perintendent, and he is hopeful of having this Information ready for the people next week. The publication of the course <?f study, however, will depend on the time required for the preparation of the commmittee'a re? port. "At 4.30 p. m. the board took a recesa to meet again during the first Week in August." Honest Medicines Versus Fakes. President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and I'rugs law in Its relation to Prepared Medicines, dots not refer to such standard medicines as Fo b-y's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of Ingredients whoae medicinal qual? ities are recognized by the medical profession Itself as the best known remedial agents of the diseases they are intended to counteract.
