BOurke Cochran Describes Condition of the House
UNDER PRESIDENTS HEEL
The New Workers Fierce Attack on the "0ld Age" Pension Order Which He Declares to be Usurpation of the Authority of Congress.

Washington, April 9.-The recent eX- ecutive order of the president relating to age as an evidence of pension bill disability today furnished the text for an impassioned appeal by w. Bourke Cochran of New York to the members of the house to uphold the dignity of that body by refusing to submit to what he alleged to be uSurpation of legislative authority of congress by the executive. In anticipation of Mir. Cockran's speech almost every seat on the floor was occupiet and galleries were filled to oVerflowing
 MT. Cochran held his audience throughout, and his remarks frequent ly were punctuated with loud applause from both sides of the chamber. He characterized the presidents interpre- tation of the law as "a hollow mock cry and a play of words" and said that this was known by the man who wrote it, as was shown by the order itself. He declared that congress on account of its pusillanimOus failure to do it's duty to itself had lost caste, so much so that the newspapers of the south outside Washington print now only a paragraph or two of the pro ceedings. The action of the president,
 
 secretary of the interior by a precedent by President Cleveland, but if so, in Gods name let us condemn that act of Cleveland's as vehemently as the act of any republican president.
 The disposition to justify everything ''hecause Cleveland did it. he said. was the highest compliment that could be paid to a man by congress, but confidence which is enjoined in Cleve- land, he asserted, only adds to the danger of the act and does not les sen it.
 The president and secretary of the interior found warm supporters in Messrs. GrCsvenor Gibson, Calder head, Lacey and Hepburn. MT. Gros- venor believed that the country and the old soldiers would approve the or der and that money necessary for put ting it into effect would be included in the forthcoming deficiency bill.
 The debate occurred on a resolution introduced by Mir Cochran directing the committee on judiciary to investi- gate the recent pension order. It had been reported from the committee on rules with the recommendation that it lie on the table and this was adopted by narrow majority of three votes, the speaker having his vote recorded in the affirmative. Three republicans, Cushman, of Washington, Littleheld of Maine, and Mccall of Massachusetts, voted with the democrats against tabling the resolution.

are enthusiastic and say they would favor it even if it cost $50, knowing the wonderful fertility of their soil and the possibilities of their agricul- ture. They have organized an associa- tion similar to and patterned after the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- ciation and are giving both the asso- citation and the reclamation officials loyal support. From this showing it would appear that while Yuma has a good thing, the Salt river farmers have a snap.
 MT. Davis was accompanied here by R. M. Hall, a consulting engineer of the service, who was looking over the field with him at Yuma. Both gentle men expect to leave this evening for Fl Paso thence to Las Cruces and the scene of the Rio Grande storage pro- ject.

Platform.
The Nebraska State Democratic p

come tax, secured by a constitu-
tional amendment, and would
bring the government nearer to
the people by the popular election
of United States senator's and d.
rect legislation.
Democracy would strictly regu-
late the railroads, thus protecting
farmers ard merchants from ex-
cessive rates and determinations.
Democracy would safeguard the
interests of the wage-earner and
the artisan by providing for an
eight-hour day; by substituting ar
bitration for strikes and lockouts
and by restoring the right of trial
by jury, now suspended thru gov
eminent by injunction.
Democracy would regard public
office as a public trust, provide
for an honest and economical ad-
ministration of the government
and punish with severity any be-
trayal of official duty.
Democracy has nothing to gain
from ambiguity and nothing to
fear from the light. Democratic
platforms should therefore set
forth Democratic principles, poll
cies and purposes with frankness,
clearness and defniteness. Those
who champion the principles en-
bodied in a truly Democratic ere ed
can appeal to the moral sense Of
the country and trust for vindica-
ton to the awakened conscience of

Man is the creator of his own
body; he is no less so because he
builds and maintains it uncon-
sciously. The soul is the wearer
of it's own earthly garment. We
can render ourselves proof against
disease and unhappiness by COM
ing into harmony with the law of
our being, which are the laws of
law or love. We can do this by
cultivating right thinking; right
thinking will produce right doing,
because our thoughts are the
cause of our actions. Right think
ing also means right feeling, and
right feeling is health. Thru the
practice of correct thinking we
drive out all weakness and become
positive proof against outside in
fiuences.
The moulding power of thought
currents and their utility or abuse,
as regulated by law, are more tru-
ly corner stones in the scientific
temple of truth than are the order
ly methods of gravitation, cohe-
sion or any other observed phe-
nOmena of the physical world.
Large thought or space bestowed
upon unworthy objects or propen-
cities confers dominion on them.
Thoughts being substance, each
current delineation that is formed
into the great reservoir of uncon-
scious mind adds a tinge of its
color, Every sequence is not
matter of chance, but law.
