where Is That Amend I'M ent. .

Just before Congress adjourned for the
holidays the Judiciary Committee of the
House was instructed to report within twenty
days an amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting the payment of war claims to dis
loyal persons. The Southern Democratic
members voted solidly against the resolution,
while the Northern Democrats, with large
amount of bluster, voted in favor Of 1t. Now
the question is why do not the Judiciary Com
mittee report either favorably or unfavorsbly
on the resolution Their time has long since
expired, and with It the patience Of the people
on the matter. II the Southern Democrats
have the entire control Of the committee they
may be able to defeat In the committee room
what they failed to defeat in the House. Let
US hear from the judiciary Committee.
