The WAR REVENUE BILL
WILL BE SENT TO THE SENATE
THIS MORNING
MANY AMENDMENTS READY
All Aimed to Secure Avoidance Of an
Issue of Bonds for War
Purposes


WASHINGTON, May Interest. in the
senate this week is centered on the war
revenue bill, which is expected to reach
that body with the beginning of the week.
1t will be referred at once to the committee
on finance and probably will be reported
back Wednesday or Thursday.
A meeting of the finance committee has
been called for Monday, with view on the
part of the Republican members of having
the consideration of the bill in committee
begun informally. They have even init
mated that they may ask that vote be
taken at this meeting. with view of re-
porting the bill as soon as it Is referred.
The Democratic members of the commit
tee will oppose this program, as they de-
sire opportunity to have various amend
ments considered. 1t is now believed that
they will offer a provision for tax upon
all producing Industries, another for an
inheritance tax. and third for nom
Understanding treasury notes. 1t Is also
probable that an amendment will be sug
gested for the Issuance of 500 900 900 In
greenbacks, to take the place of those out
standing, which are supposed to have been
destroyed. They will seek to have the
bond provision Of the bill eliminated en-
tirely, on the plea that the time has not
yet arrived for bond issue. There is
possibility that the Republican members
of the committee may amend the bond
provision, as there is more or less dissat-
isfaction with it among the Republican
senators. One of the changes suggested
Is reduction Of the amount Of the bonds.
When the bill reaches the senate the op-
position will insist upon having time for
the various factions to state the reasons
for their opposition, and it is now predicted
that two weeks will be required for de-
bate. While they will insist upon the
elimination of the bond feature, they will
also state that they will vote for bonds
later, if the war should be prolonged suffi-
GENTLY to require their issuance.
The program of the senate until the rev.
enue bill is reported is uncertain. The
postoffice appropriation bill probably Will
be reported and passed, and the omnibus
claims bill will be taken up.
In the House
There is no business Of great Importance
to come before the house during the week,
unless the appropriations committee brings
in an emergency war appropriation meas
ure. 1t was the intention of Chairman
Cannon to make the emergency appropria-
ton a part of the general deficiency bill,
but, as that bill might be delayed some
time, he may bring in a separate measure.
There are also numbers of conference re-
ports to be disposed of, and these may oc-
cupy the house during the week. Special
appropriation bills are still in conference,
but reports are expected during the week.
The Alaska land bill remains to be dis
posed of, and there are numbers of minor
matters to be taken under consideration.

schopenhauer on Women.

Schopenhauer's mother, Joana. was a
singular woman, with when he was
perpetually at war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was a sentimentalist,
he detested sentiment. She was de-
voted to society, to gossip, to the con-
venances Of life. He lived for ideas,
and, with an almost savage moroseness
poured scorn on the round of Eat
homes" and aesthetic tea parties. Both
were selfish and quarrelsome. We may
judge, therefore. that Schopenhauer
took his notions of women partly from
his mother. 1t goes without saying
that these notions were violent in the
extreme, yet not withous some aspects
of truth. The new woman" would
rave at his satire ON her pretensions;
and yet it would do her good to read
what Schopenhauer has to say with as
much calmness as she can command.
Woman is here depicted as emphatical-
ly "a lesser man"-indeed, as far be-
low man as to be fit only for the role
of the old fashioned German hausfrau.

Baltimore Sun: The only cotton
mill in the country, it is claimed.

cord, N. c.. and the last brick will be

looms. The building is a handsome
three-story brick structure, 120 feet
long and 80 feet wide. Besides the
