bring in a rule which will limit the
changes in the Payne bill to committee
amendments
This rule, which will probably be pre-
scented before next week. will not shut
off the reading of the tariff bill under
the 5-minute rule, but is aimed to pre-
vent unnecessary delay in bringing
about its passage. LAS several Repub-
lican members have announced their
intention of forcing record votes oil
certain proposed amendments, it may
also be the purpose of the rule to pre-
ven, such votes being taken.
The proposed rule would be opposed
by a large number of Republicans and
Democrats alike. but as it would pre-
vent votes being taken for the pur-
pose of putting members on record
with regard to certain schedules, it
might receive the support Of these Re-
pu1licars who desire to offer amend
ments TO the bill.

TWO MEN COMPARED
Two men of national fame |

Two men Of national fame have
just died. One devoted his life to
the accumulation of wealth, the
-other to the service of his fellow
men. At the bedside Of one the
nation watched with anxiety and
also with admiration for the brave
struggle he mad. for life. At the
bedside Of the other the nation
watched With equal anxiety and
admiration, and also with an affect
ion that was lacking with the first.
The reason for this difference is
obvious to all. That Hartman in
some ways benefited his fellow
men all will admit. but his prime
purpose was to serve himself. Gov
ernor johnson conseerated his life
to his fellows. How fully that was
recognized is seen in the threefold
election to the highest office in
state in which the majority of the
people belong to a party opposed
to the one in which he was the the
most distinguished leader.
Governor Johnson belonged to
that sturdy. virile, Scandinavian
stock whose industry, pluck, intelli-
gence, perseverance and sterling
qualities have done 80 much to build
up this country along material and
moral lines. In the indomitable
superiority to circumstances he con-
family showed, and in his robust
character and marked ability he was
a conspicuous example of the racial
truth we have stated.
The country is the poorer by reason
OF his death and all parties and all
classes recognize the good he has
done,Ieverehis memory and sincere
ly syrnpathize with his family in
their great sorrow. !
