E CONGRESS-
Senators Ha 'ris and Morgan Make
sprsc' es Against Repeal.

Senators Ha ria aud Morgan Make
sprsc' es Agninst Repeal.
WAsHINGroS, Sept. 80 Two of the most
dstingu shed senators on the Democratic
side OF The ch ,mber Harris of Tennessee
and Morgan 4 Alabama. made vigorous
attacks in tls senate on the silver pur.
chase repeal II.
Mr.. Harris asserted that the repeal OF
the Sherman lct would be the last recog-
milton Of silver as money, and that the
Republicans who were now aiding Mr..
Voorhees, would desert him rs soon as
they accomp' ished their purpose, and
would oppose any measure that might be
presented TO utilize silver In any way or
10 any extent. Mr.. Harris expressed his
feedincss to accept any fair and reason
pble compron Use and his determination to
tote against uu conditional repeal.
Senator Morg an ridiculed the proposed
international agreement as ian idle dream,
only to be realized by the fervid ima9ina-
tion OF every enthusiastic statesman" !"
meaning Mr.. Allison (Rep, Ia.). He also
characterized it as "a tub thrown to the
whale" and spoke eloqueutly Of the fail
ure of the struggle for American inde-
pendence, il this country could not estab-
lish its own financial system without the
consent Of Great Britain, He opposed the
bill and argued for the constitutional
right of the free coinage of silver. At the
close Of his speech he developed a good
deal of animosity against President Cleve-
land and intimated that the Democrats
would not love him for the friends he had
made.
Senator Cameron Rep., Pa) presented
petition bearing the signatures OF proba-
bly, more than 1000 business men of Philadel-
pha asking the senate to preserve the pro-
tective character of the tariff and the in
tegrity of silver al a money metal.
Instead Of the interest in the discussion
Of the federal elections repeal bill increas-
ing, it is rapidly diminishing. At no time
in the house yesterday after the bill was
taken up were there more than 100 men,
bers present, and the average attendance
throughout the debate would not exceed
%.
Gillette OF Massachusetts was the chief
speaker. He spoke against the bill, as did
Lacey of Iowa; and Blair Of New Hamp-
shire and Dearmond of Missouri and
Wheeler Of Alabama advocated the re-
peal. But the surroundings were de-
pressing and none Of the gentlemen could
do themselves justice.

iCoPYNIGHT, 1923. |

You and |, gentle reader, being per-
pc,ually afflicted by debt, tough luck.
and the sins of others, sometimes fan
into the error of supposing that nobody
is happy. We were taught in early
youth that the fulfllmcnt of our wisl,c /,
would be- the worst thing that could
happen 10 US We were brought up on
the story Of the old lady who walked
four miles against the wind. wishing
all th" time that it would change. When
she reached the end of her Journey il
did change, and blew straight i'm her
face all the way home At The are of
six held this lady and Judas Iscariot
ana poor rascal named Ball (who
was executed many years before in the
town where was born) To be the
three leading historical examples of the
fate of sinners. We were told that though
Commodore Vanderbilt could afford To
have every tooth in his head filled with
gold he derived no real pleasure from
