TRY 1T ONCE MORE.
Final Effort to Be Made to Pass Shin
Subsidy RiII

Subsidy Bill.
Washington, March 1.-ReIying on a
poll just completed an attempt will be
made tomorrow to pass through the
house without the amendment the Gal
nnger ocean subsidy bill already agreed
to by the senate. If all the Republi-
cans. who have promised to vote for
the bill are present there will be a
mere handful of a majority in it's favor.
If the Republican absentees aggregate
many, the bill will be defeated
The poll shows that the Republicans
will increase the vote in favor of the
bill taken year ago by % or 30, but
at the same time the opponents of the
measure will swell their numbers prfn-
cipally by a large attendance of Demo-
Gratis.

''The day is past when certain

grows wiser ss it grows older,

If. there iss ono thing above

to do it is to tell the truth with.
out fear or favor, and to that
end it hues to the line and lets
the chips fall whore they may.
