send a delegation to Washington to
interview the persons whose names
she was accused Of using without au-
thority before she showed her hand.
Then she sent for the chairman Of the
rival clique and showed him the tele-
grams. which bore the proper sigma
lures. She had retained these and
sent out duplicate kilograms. She
made it a point to see that every one
in Lebanon enjoyed the joke she had
played on her rivals. Although War
rem county is strongly Republican,
when Mrs. Wilson wills 1t the Demo
Gratis can poll a heavy vote. No Dem
Ocratic appointments to Office are made
without her consent, and few are elect
ed whom she opposes. Mrs. Wilson's
first husband was a newspaper man.
When his paper in New Jersey failed
to do well she took hold OF it and put

she sold it and bought the Lebanon

time, her present husband being pros

clever wife and never interferes IN her
affairs. Although she belongs to no
suffrage association, Mrs. Wilson would
like to vote. She points out that she
owns more property than the average
voter, and she pays more taxes. She
thinks she ought to have a voice In the
expenditure of the money.

''No; I'm sorry, but l can't help that
charity" remarked the critical woman.
"well. of course you won't mind tell
ing US your reasons" ventured the
suave lady patroness.
Certainly not. l find It is designed
to give things to people rather than to
help them to get them for themselves"
Then. as the lady patroness stared at
her curiously. she went on:
"Found tomorrow some charitable
agency with practical business woman
at the head OF It, the agency being for
the purpose of aiding middle aged or
unframed women to earn their own
living. and l am with you from the
start. The trouble with most OF your
charity is that 1t is founded on senti-
ment. You want TO patronize those
who are hard up. not help them to get
on their feet.
"Of course it's harder work figuring
out the particular ability to do some
thing that each OF the human derelicts
on your list has within her; but, be-
neve me, that is real charity.
"If all the needy and destitute could
be put on their feet and made useful

would close their doors for lack of oc-
cupation.
"Of course there are the sick and the
unfortunate. grant you that. But the
sick should be made we'll and nut on
their feet as soon as possible, and the
unfortunate should be shown the rea-
son why they slipped up and failed
and be made to realize the necessity
of blaming their own selves and moi
their hard luck. For the shiftless
the incompetent and those who are
not willing to strain every nerve in
an endeavor to find and to keep work
there should be no charity at allw

JOHNSON NOT TO

There is a slim chance OF Jack John
son going to England and fighting
Tommy Burns for the $4,000 guarantee
which a syndicate OF sporting men on
the other side offered him 10 meet the

Of Johnson, said last night that there
was not a chance OF Johnson going TO
England and lighting Burns for that
small amount, and that he regarded
the offer as a big Joke. Il have re-

Washington, Dec. 8.-That the
fight for a regulation of the issue of
injunctions in the federal courts will
be carried on with vigor at this ses-

Representative Young of Michigan
was the first to introduce a bill for
correction of the alleged evils at this
session. His bill provides that in all
cases where temporary restraining
order has been issued without notice,
the order for hearing shall be- re-
turnable in the shortest reasonable
time in the discretion Of the court.
This time, however, is limited to not
less than four days nor more than
six where the parties live In the
same town, and where in different
towns only such additional time shall
be allowed as is actually required for
travel.

SENATE AND

Speaker Cannon isRecipient of 0va-
ti0n-ShOrt Session is
Held.

Washington, Dec. S.-The ever-in-
teresting spectacle of the converting
OF congress brought to the capitol,
where the national legislature sits.
the usual throngs bent on gaining ad.
mission to one house or the other,
where the exercises incident to the
opening of the second session of the
Sixtieth congress were held.
For many days past the demand
for cards which entitled the bearers
to seats in the respective galleries
has been so great that when the
doors Of the massive structure were
thrown open a crowd of more than
sufficient number to take up the en-
tire seating capacity of the two cham
bers had assembled. From that time
on the people came in droves, the
corridors on both floors being filed
with crowds surging back and forth.
In both bodies among the most in
terested spectators were the MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps, who
were present in goodly numbers. Nu-
merous high officials of the govern
ment likewise occupied seats, and
they, too, displayed the keenest in
terest in the proceedings.
When Speaker Cannon mounted
the platform and called the house Of
representatives to order, he received
an ovation at the hands of his Re-
publican colleagues. Not a few Dem
ocrats joined in the demonstration
which continued for several minutes.
The two floor leaders, Serene e.
Payne of New York, Republican, and
Champ Clark of Missouri, Democrat,
were early in their seats and each
was accorded a hearty greeting by
the members, irrespective of party
affiliation
Soon afte- Mr. Sherman of New
York, the vicepresident elect came
into the chamber he was accorded an
ovation from Republican colleagues.
In like manner the Democrats
roundly applauded the new leader,
Champ Clark. The house adjourned
after short session out of respect
to the memory OF those members
who had died during recess.
Immediately after the senate had
been called to order by Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, the chaplain, had OPEN
ed the session with prayer, Senator
Dillingham; Of Vermont presented the
credentials of his colleague, Senator
elect Carroll S. Page, who was at
once sworn in as a senator of the
United States.
After the usual committees had
been appointed by the senate to in
form the president and house of rep
resentatives Of the meeting of that
body and a resolution of regret on
the death of Senator Allison had
been adopted, the senate adjourned.

Something is Doing.

Something is sure doing here. Six
great gatherings of national impor-
lance will foe1s the attention of the
whole country while in Washington
this week, when an army of men
fighting for the betterment of the
United States viii be here, all work
ing from different points to the com
mon center.
Although the Sixtieth Congress
will seem to be the most important of
the assemblies politically, the con-
servation commission appointed by
the President as the result of the
convention of governors at the White
House last spring, lis exciting the
same interest that it did when An
drew Carnegie and James J. Hill
made their addresses at the first
meeting.
These two commercial kings again
are here, and their words, with the
still unpublished inventory of nation
al resources prepared, on which a
national policy of conservation will
be based, will furnish the reasons on
which the commission will base its
demand on Congress for official life,
its existence now depending solely on
the personal request of the Presi-
dent
