CONGRESSIONAL

During yesterdays session Of the
Senate Mr.. Rawlins, of Utah, continued
his speech 10 opposition to the bill pro-
viding for form OF government for the
Philippine Islands. He devoted the
greater part Of his speech to q discus
sion OF the testimony presented to the
Philippines committee relating to the
administration Of the "wster cure" to
natives and to other forms OF torture
inflicted upon the Fllipinos. He
charged that Filipinos are the vic.
TINS Of war wsged without humanity
and without mercy, and charged that
the telegram telling of the open
Ing of hostllities in the Philippines was
written two hours before the event, al
though the army officers have repeat
eddy said that the Filipinos we're them
selves to blame in beginning the fight.
During the early part of the session
the bill providing for a union railroad
station 10 Washington was under con-
sideratiop, but no action was taken.
The Patterson amendment TO the
proposed bill, which admits any rail-
road that may desire to come into
Washington to the proposed union
station, caused a lengthy debate.
Many Senators Unexpectedly rallied
ID its support, and it may be nec-
esssry for the committee to accept it to
prevent jeopardizing the bill.
The House began consideration Of
the Senate amendments to the oleomsr-
gsrine bill, but slow progress was made.

sought to modify the Senate amend

HuxIey's AggressIveness.

Before Huxley's untiring energy
there was found no peace for hum
bugs, dissemblers or those who wished
nothing better than to be left in lazy
satisfaction with the accepted order OF
things. In these controversies he was
sometimes too bitter, too fierce, and
made use of sarcasm which. though
delicious, was frequently little short
of cruel. He was a firebrand, warm
enough to his friends, but ready to
consume any opponent-nay, more,
looking out for opponents with he
E.enest scrutiny. lest one might per-
chance appear upon the far horizon
of the world of thought without being
favored by his disastrous notice. More
over, he was hot-tempered, and when
reused sometimes harsh and illiberal;
but his nature was of the impulsive
kind that apologies as quickly as it
errs. while through his life at all times
ran the redeeming vein of humor. 1t
is not an uproarious laugh, but keen
irresistible little twinkle that comes
into the corner of his eyes over the
foibles of his neighbors and of him
self.-The Century.

Farming lands command greater

Farming lands command greater
sale in this valley the present year
than they have for several years
past. Practical farmers from the
middle west who have suffered
from droughts and other conditions
equally as bad, are coming to the
states where irrigation precludes
the necessity Of worrying about
rain. A few years more and every
available piece Of irrigable land in
he valley will be utilized in pro-
ducing valu BILE crops. Those who
are fortunate enough to secure
lands at their present value will
reap a rich reward in the future.

Leslie's Magazine says novels OF
Babylonian life are not rare, out
hitherto no writer OF hction mas
ventured beyond the shallow
depths OF the classical legends
which formerly were taught as
"Assyrian history" This argues a
lack of enterprise or originality in
the novelists, as the fund OF matters
ia that has been gathered since
B otta struck the first pick into the
ruins of Sargon's palace in 1912 is
ample and varied enough for either
HISTORY or romance. A new writer
Josiah M. Ward, is to strike out
into deeper water, and take his
readers back to the times OF Nebu-
chaduezzar and the last days OF
Nineveh. The title OF his book,
Come With Me Into Babylon is
pleasant promise which challenges
attention. One expects something
more than a glimpse into the lives
of the Babylonians, whose name
has come to be synonym of lux
ury and wantonness. Those were
heroic days really, when the great
eit nations of that remote antiquity
the Babylonians, Medes, Lydians,
and Egyptians, met over the car
cass of Assyria and engaged in
that fierce struggle for the mastery

Wish to Go to Work.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 29.-Some
of the local coal operators, after being
shown a copy of the statement issued
by President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers, say it will probably
be tho last he will give to the public
before the ending of the strike. They
assert that his appeal is made up of
generalities and that he endeaYors to
win public sympathy by making plea
for child labor. One operator said the
condition of child labor in the coal
region is much better than it is in the
manufacturing districts of the country.
that the wages paid are better and the
working hours shorter. At strike
headquarters Mr.. Mitchell's latest de-
liverance is termed "a ten strike. -
and the facts and figures he presents
irrefutable.
The military authorities, Sheriff
Jacobs and some of the superintend-
ents of the coal companies in this
vicinity held meeting in the Office
of one of the coal companies and talk
ed over plan by which the troops can
be moved promptly to scenes Of dis
turbance.
It is not the purpose of the military
to do police duty, but If any of the
companies can get men to go to work
the soldiers will give them protection.
It Is reported again that attempts will
be made this week to resume work at
several collieries in this region, which
have been idle since the strike began,
but the report cannot be verified.
AT strike headquarters. it was as.
serted that there will be no. change in
the situation the coming week, which
is the twenty-first of the strike, that
the strikers are as firm as ever and
that there will be no desertions from
the ranks to make it possible for the
coal companies to start up any new
collieries. e, ,-,.,... .<", ~ ,...:-.
