Washington. Dec. 12.-Appropriation
IL yislation will he undertaken by con-
gross before the adjournment for the
holidays. There has been a general
supposition that all measures of any
character would be postponed until

Tawnev of the committee on approrria-
lions has upset This scheme by declar-
ing that an appropriation bill could he
prepared and passed before Christmas
adjournment as easily as not.
Mr.. Tawncy has found Il ready sec

have arranged program that will in

Iumbia appropriation bill and possibly
the army bill before Christmas.
The determination To begin work at
once on the supply measures is an in
dication Of the program Of tho leaders
for the present congress. They are
going to have the appropriation bills
passed as soon as possible. This plan
is independent of all other legislative
schemes.

Ii Is fortunate and timely that Mis-

cussion OF the question Of socialism

at us on this very subject that 1t was
high time that TIL. question was stated
fairly and sauarels by scholar and a
student. Bishop CARROTS presentation
OF the question of socialism last night
placed the proposition quite in its right
light. Those who have lately stood
upon Missoula's street corners and
have there applauded the venomous at
lacks of ignorant speakers. should
study the words Of the bishop So

that. as a general tariff bill was

His recommendation with reference
