Sixty-first Congress.
SENATE

Senator CLARK (rep. Wyo), was In
bis seat today after two weeks al
seDce made necessary BY a surgical opera
ton.
The annual debate on the question Of
authorizing two battleships in the pend
ipg naval appropriation bill was resumed
10 the Senate todsy, An amendment
offered by Senator Burton 10 slrlke out
one battleship 10 pending
Senator Perkins Zap Oslif) s,id II
was advisable t. make the appropriation
without any reference TO the coat. BE
had carefully investigated the statement
made by Senator CLAY (dem. Ga }.
that each vessel would cost from sl6,.
900, 900 to $4,000, 900. The highest
estimate Mr.. Perkins could End was
| 1923, 900, 900 for both ships. he said
the money would be distributed among
the miners, lumbermen, manufacturers
and working men and none Of 1t would
/! be lost.
The advisabilIty OF constructing two
bsttleships was urged at some length by
Mr.. Perkins.
The expedienoy OF suthorixlDg two
new battleships was urged by Senator
Lodge. He admitted the coat to be
heavy, but said It was 10 the direction
OF economy. Money expended for the
national defense, be said, was the iru ,si
economy.
Senator Lodge declared that the sbol,
ishing OF the navy would mean wal
within short time. It's strength Is the
bett guarantee OF pesce. BE would
favor It's sbolition II it would bring u H.
verssl peace. He believed In disarms-
ment, but 1t must be international and
not piece-mesl.
Senator Deliver asked why Mr. Lodge
believed geuersl disarmament Of arni' I
and Davies wtud come 10 the future.
Senator Lodge replied that the In.
crease OF civilization, the pressure o.
rublic opinion aud the staggering burden
OF taxation would eventually bring I

Further increase OF the raval estimate
was opposed by Senator Olapp who be
IIeved the limit Of size and expense hst
been already reached.
Senator OIspp condemned the talk o
war With japan and declared that to-
latter had no hWtlle intentions. Tn
Uoiied States might bully japan iut'
war, he said, or 1t might bully SOM
weaker nation into war, bat no natioi
in the world was disposed to attack til
United States.

A few days ago. Clarence

ker. formerly of this city, but
now residing in Memphis, Tenn.
was at work, feeding his press,
in the Printing office Of j. c.
Bourland Of this city. when,
without a moments warning. he
fell forward and ceased al
once TO work and live. "
Clarence was known 10 his
loved ones as a good and dutiful
son; and he will be- remembered
bv many by his winsome smile
and general good behavior. But
now he is not. " Leaving be-
hind him the memorial of a fra
grant life. he now enjoys the
mysteries of the life that knows
no ending"
There was no sadness Of fare
well in his going; and. from his
testimony, it is certain that
''he hoped to meet his Pllok face
to face, when he crossed the
bar"
His sorrowing friends miss
him; yet, in the truest sense, he
is still with them with them in
a way that was never before
possible, and with them for
ever and for aye"

mons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that
To that mysterious realm where
each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls
of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave
at night
Scourged, to his dungeon, but
sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, APP
proach the grave
Like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch
About him, and lies down to
pleasant dreams. -
