Ing Investigation Committee.
I Washington, Jan. 12.-The house
has refused to concur in the senate
amendments to the so called Pinchot.
Ballinger resolution and decided to
ask for a conference. The speaker
named the following conferees:
Representative John Dalzell of Penn.
sylvania, Walter I. Smith of Iowa and
John J. Fitzgerald of New York
The senate joint resolution is com.
promise measure, the basis of which
was the, Jones-Humphrey resolution.
A portion of the resolution reported
from the house committee on rules
was incorporated in the measure and
this included all of that part which
provided for the compulsory attend.
ance of witnesses and the punishment
of those who refused to obey the or.
ders of the investigation committee.
The resolution provides for the cleo.
tion of the house members by the
house itself in accordance with the
wish of that body expressed by a close
vote. The sending of the resolution
to conference is a mere formality and
indicates that the contest over the
form of the resolution is near at hand.
President Taft Impatient.
Callers at the White House reported
President Taft to be growing some.
what impatient with the progress thus
far made by congress in carrying for.
ward the legislative programme prom
ised in the party platform and recon.
mended by the executive. The presi-
dent, it is said, feels that too much
time is being spent in the skirmishes
that thus far have marked the session.
The president all along has let it be
known that the manner of appointing
the committee to inquire into the Bal
Inger-Pinchot controversy concerned
him but little. He has been anxious
that the committee should get to work
at the earliest possible opportunity,
whether it's members be Democrats,
insurgents or what not. Mr.. Taft's
only request has been that the inves-
tigation be a thorough one, going into
all phases of the long pending fight,
bringing out all the facts.
The president is anxious that con-
gress should get down to the consid-
Grafton of specific measures. Not un-
til it does this can anything be told as
to where the insurgents actually stand
with reference to the president and
the party's legislative programme.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Coal miners
throughout the United States are pre-

FOLK TO ANNOUNCE HIS CHOICE

St. Louis, Mo, June 1.-The polltl-
cal situation in Missouri Is already
very interesting, but it promises to be
much more so after the banquet here
tomorrow night at which former Gov.
ernor Joseph w. Folk Is expected to
announce definitely whether he will be
a candidate for the United States sen.
ate, or whether he will reserve his
strength for the race for the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination in 1912.
i h e banquet will be held un.
der the auspices of the Missou-
II Democratic League, the Folk organ
ization formed at the harmony meet
ing at Kansas City last January, and
will be attended by many Democratic
leaders from various parts of the
state.
The close political associates of Mr..
Folk are of the opinion that he will
make the race for the senatorship.
This opinion is basel largely on the be.
lief that should Governor Harmon of
Ohio be reelected this year he is
bound to take precedence over all 9TH
er possibilities now mentioned for the
head Of the Democratic national tick.
ct two years hence.
On the other hand, the chances of
electing a Democratic senator to sue
ceed Senator Warner, Republican, are
regarded as very bright by the Demo
cratic leaders in Missouri. Should
former Governor Folk enter the race
the contest for the senatorshjp will
probably develop into one Of the live
liest political fights Missouri has seen
in may years. Ex-Governor David r.
Francis has already announced his
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton to succeed Senator Warner, as
have also James A. Reed, former May
or of Kansas City, and Sterling P.
Bond of st. Louis. On the Republican
side Senator Warner will be opposed
reelection by Governor Hadley and
possibly one or two others. The con-
test will be decided by the state pri-
maries next November.

THE DOWNFALL OF FATHER
The Uplift Movement For the "oid
Man" Is Having a Hard Time

The whole trouble was that It was
too good to last. From the very mo.
ment that the movement for the up
life of father started It was certain
that the pendulum would swing back.
ward and very porbably hit him in
the eye. The mother movement was
based on firm foundation and will
always go on, but as soon as the ex.
plotting Of father started his complete
downfall was assured.
Father has always been the goat"
1t was always father who held the
family from the achievement of its
social ambitions. II was father who
made blunders that put the family TO
| shame. Father never would take to
the new-fashioned ideas. He was
against the domination by the young.
er generation, against suffrage,
against women's clubs, against the
teaching of French to the children; in
word, a natural reactionary. 1t
was but natural, therefore, that father
should become generally known as a
back number, useful only in bringing
home money and writing checks.
Then started the father craze. It
began with paragraphs in the news
papers. why not give the fathers a
boost?" and later on it graduated in
the song, What's the Matter With
Father?" the answer being, Hes All
Right" From all sides father was
receiving what he considered his we'll
earned praise. He was being lauded
to the exclusion of mother, sister, ba.
by brother and the cook.
1t was too good to last. 1t simply
turned fathers head One of the spe-
cies, w. d. Boyce, a millionaire pub
Usher of Chicao, became so ecstatic
that he announced that he was going
to marry a beautiful young girl. Le-
gally he had right to do so, as he
was a widower. But the younger gen.
Grafton was growing tired of this faith
er business. Mr.. Boyce's son heard
about the proposed marriage of father
and determined to put stop to it.
He went home and trounced father.
He was fined SIS in a Magistrates
court.
Father married just the same, but
the moral to others should be plain.
Father is not to have everything his
own way without struggle from the
younger generation. Father is riding
for a fall.

Washington, June IAN agree
ment on the river and harbor bill
has been reached by the conference
committee OF the senate and house.
Most of the propositions that were OBJ
tected to by Senator Burton Of Ohio
on the ground that they had never
been recommended by engineers
were dropped from the bill. These
are the items that aroused President
Taft's suspicious of the bill and that
led to reports that the president
might veto the measure. There are,
however, some Igood-sized pieces Of
pork still In the bill. One of two
other propositions that originated In
the house which had never been rec
commended by engineers also remains
in the bill, and there is considerable
speculation as to the presidents atti-
tude toward the measure.
Opposition In Senate.
1t is certain that the conference re-
port will meet with good deal Of
opposition in the senate. and possibly
in the house. Senator Bailey of Tex
az is said to be especially displeased
because an amendment put into
the bill in the senate authorizing the
Beaumont-Neches canal in Texas was
dropped by the conferees. Senator
= Burton also is far from satisfied with
the report, and threatens trouble. It
appears now that a proposition for
the improvement OF the harbor Of
Cleveland. Senator Burton's home

port.
The following projects put into the

entirely by the conferees: Beaumont

London, June 1. Speaking in

Of row, inasmuch as 1t amounts to a
denunciation Of the existing govern

Eldon Gorst's administration of
Egyptian affairs. The colonel's views
coincide with the government opposi-

opposition will object to such caustic
criticism coming from an outsider.
