HOUSE PASSES
VREELAND BILL
Democrats Refuse to Vote for
Williams Currency Bill
as Substitute
Senate viii Substitute Aid.
rich Bill and Deadlock
| will Follow

Washington, D. c., May 14.-The
Vreeland currency bill, agreed upon
by the Republican caucus, was today
put through the house under a spec
ial rule by a vote of 81 to 145. Fiji
jority party voted with the Demo-
Gratis who went on record solidly
against the measure.
The closing moments of the debate
were replete with excitement and Re-
publican enthusiasm caused by the
refusal of the great majority of the
Democrats to go on record for the
Williams bill, which had been offer
ed by Mr.. Kahn of California, as a
substitute for the vreeland bill in
accordance with the well laid plan
with the majority leaders to ascer-
tain where the Democrats stood on
the proposition, which it was claimed
was supported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety
three Democrats voted stpresent"
which aroused the Republicans to a
high state or hiliarity at the expense
of the minority. Only a handful of
Democrats had the timerity to vote
faye" or mo" The action of Mr..
Kahn was due to the refusal of Mr..
Williams to present his bill as sub
stitute, which under the rule, he was
specially authorized to do.
At 6:10 the house recessed until
tom morning at 1870 o'clock
AS soon as the bill reaches the
senate Mr.. Aldrich will call a meet
ing of the committee on finance to
consider it. 1t is expected the com.
m fpe will vote unaI1imOuS1y ff
| amend he house measure by striking
out all after the enacting clause
and inserting the provisions of the
bill which was passed by the senate
1t not doubted that the senate
will approve the action of the com
mittee. OF course this would NEAR
to send both the Vreeland and Aid
rich bills to conference.

We believe that the powers coded
to the federal government by states
through the constitution in its present
form are ample, Notwithstanding the
closer relatios between the people
which improved transportation has
established; too great Capitalization
of power is as dangerous as when
the constitution was framed. The
powers reserved to the states are nee
essary to enable each to manage it's
domestic an internal affairs, to pre-
serve all American principles of home
rule; to prevent the exercise of au-
tocratic power by federal officers and
to maintain between states gener-
Gus rivalry as to which can best pre-
sent system of wise laws and eff
ficient administration.
The dangers to be apprehended
from the Capitalization of power are
already apparent, for under autocra-
tic leadership congress has become
inactive and no longer responds to
the public will, while bureaucratic
form of government is being rapidly
extended to the point which threat
ems the extinction of state autonomy.
We favor the election Of United
Safes senators by direct vote Of the
people.
We favor progressive and practi-
cable measures for the taxation OF
incomes, establishment of postal saw

deposits along the lines suggested by

away, doubly lost if it carries away
also soil that, on the average in our
domain, crops can use to profit all
the rainfall during the growing sea-
son and much or all of that which
can be carried over from non-grow

the complex problem, for the high
est crop values will usually be gain
ed when the soil is made to absorb
the largest part of the total rain
fall and snowfall. In securing this,
there will be the least run-off and

highest solution of the problem by
the tiller of the soil essentially
solves the whole train of problems. :"

sARLE's FIRST BLAZE.
SarIe's found Itself Badly in Need of Fire
Protection One Nioht Last Week.

Tuesday evening last at about eleven
o'clock the town of Sarles was aroused
By the cry of fire. The Acme Grain Co.'S
elevator was in flames and was quickly
consumed as Sarles, without any means
of protection, is at the mercy of the fire
fend. The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is supposed to have started from
the Office stove. The house contained
about 5000 bushels of grain at the time
and the superintendent of the company
was in town for the purpose of making
arrangements for shipping out the grain
and closing the elevator for the season.
Owing to the direction of the wind the
balance of the town was fortunate in
escaping, and it would seem to us that
the incident should act as warning to
the people of Sarles to take steps and
secure fire protection of some kind.

LANGDON BAND CONCERT.
Band Boys Plan Giving Two First Glass Band
Conc erts This Sprinu.

The music loving people of Langdon
and surrounding country will be pleased
to learn that the Langdon City Band
purposes giving concert in the Opera
House on Monday night, March End.
The details of the program it is i'm
possible to give at this time, but suffice
to say it will be as good as it is possible
to make and as the present instrumental
ton of our band includes several soloists
of admitted ability, their efforts, along
with the full band numbers rendered,
will be we'll worth hearing. The band
boys also expect to have the assistance
of several of Langdon's home talent
along the musical line to add to their
evenings program, and the assurance is
given that the price of admission will be
merely nominal as they want everyone to
be there. In the past year the Ian gdon
band has been at big expense in the
purchase of new music, for the repair of
instruments, and the effort made during
last summer to give weekly open-air con-
certs is guarantee that the boys are do
| ing their best to give Langdon band of
which it may both feel proud and worthy
of assistance and support, That our
city today has one of the "crack" bands;
of the state is due to the effort of it's
leader, MIR. f. w. Bleakley, and the
bands business committee, who have
been untiring in their efforts, as op.
portunlty afforded to fill up the ranks Of
the band with good musical talent And
it Is the wish at this time to tender
yhanks to the Langdon business mer
who have evinced a desire and willing
ness TO give employment to bandmen, ir
order to encourage good musica
organization. In so doing, together
sitd the encouragement our citizens
can extend 10y ,aUronizing the concert
10 he given on Monday, March End, anc
another later, probably on Easter Mon
day, April Goth, the business manage
ment of the band hopes and expects thi:
spring to have an organization that will
be second to none in rank among the
bands of our state. We have the talent
he boys ask you nothing for what the.
do, but feel that the incidental eXpens,
Of maintainance should be contributor,
upon the part of our citizens In thi
they are right, and we say that no on
with spa,k of civic pride should unde

ALETTER FROM TEXAS

Things Way Down South.

Americans from the North Will Prove a
Rich Territory-Its Winter Climate 'ellsht-
fuI but Texans Have to Irrigate Their Land
at Big Expense to Raise Good Crops.
The following letter was recently re-
ceived by members of the family of
Donald Sandison, who left here during
the early part of the winter for Texas,
his health demanding a temporary
change of climate. What he has to say
regarding the country down south will
be perused with interest by many readers
both here around Langdon as we'll as
generally over the county:
Well, got here week ago tonight at
1920 o'clock, have not been around
much yet as I have been sick, but am
feeling good tonight. 1 don't just re-
member if 1 wrote you from Fort Worth
or not, but will say l like Fort Worth
fine. 1t is little colder there than
here. In fact I like every place I have
stopped at in Texas yet. I left Ft.Worth
for Brownville and went through about
so miles of country around Bay City
that is not fit for human being to live
int is under water most all the time.
Some places the water almost covers the
railroad track. They can grow nothing
but rice and sugar cane and the trees
are covered with grey moss, so it can't
help but be malarious. Now we get
down to Brownsville things look much
better-fne country-everything nice
and green. The country is mostly all
small timber and brush, selling for $50
an acre near town. 1t costs on an aver
age Of about SO an acre to clear it.
About every man you meet is a real
estate agent-or perhaps some of them
would be better named as dead beats,
and they have to use irrigation that
costs according to what you grow, per-
haps on an average of $3.50 per year
that is on about ten acres. They have
good irrigation. They get water from
the Rio Grande river. Some places they
have to depend on flowing wells, but
they give out sometimes. The soil is
good-about like this soil you have,
only not so much sand. After the
stumps are taken out you could 60 on
with gang plow, just about the same
as you do on stubble. The inhabitants
are about rs per cent Mexicans. That
is the only fault / had with Brownsville;
but what American people there are

river and you get into Old Mexico.
There they have street cars with poor
