wind had ceased. and the billows have
passed away and the sea is serenely
blue.
The chair therefore. sustains the
point of order"
In the course of the debate that
preceded the vote the republican
members taunted the democrats un-
ceasingly for their change of front
The house was in its gayest mood and
in the three hours the fight lasted
there was an almost continuous gale
of laughter.
Charged with inconsistency, Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald of New York, one
of the democratic leaders in the rules
fight, retorted that for the sake of
c .sistency he did not propose to be
foolish.
When Champ Clark of Missouri,
slated to succeed Speaker Cannon.
voted to sustain the chair on the
same point of order which furnished
the basis for the successful insurgent
campaign of last March. the republi-
cans broke into storms of spplause.
Representative Underwc, 4 of Ala
bama. joined Mr.. Fitzgera'a in frank
ly admitting that he thought the
speaker was right in his ruling last
March and that he ruled in line with
the precedents of the house.
But" said Mr.. Underwood, 1--WE
voted to overrule the speaker be-
cause we thought the time had come
for revolution and for the majority
of the house to express its will At
that time there was reason L believe
the rules committee was att 1pting
to obstruct legislation. No q i con-
dition exists today and con- quently
there will be no revolution"
Then when you voted to overrule
the speaker you admit you engaged
in an unlawful enterprise?" said Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois.
1T was not unlawful. it was neces-
sary,' replied Fitzgerald.
The insurgents refused to be
downcast at their defeat. Twenty-six
democrats voted with them against
the speaker and they claim the 'in-
surgent democrats" will be their allies
in all future fights.
Poppy cock" said Champ Clark,
when told of this. Every man voted
as he pleased. That was my advice
to them. The vote has no significance
whatever IS e. party proposal"
Representative Sims of Tennessee, a
democrat, contributed some excite
ment to the debate by saying he was
amazed at the statements of some of
the leaders on his own side that they
knew the speaker was right last
March but had voted against him.
II am one of the ignorant who be-
lieved that the speaker was wrong
then, and that he is wrong now. And
would rather be ignorantly honest
than knowingly dishonest he de-
clared.
Representative Hardy of Texas,
took Mr. Sims to task for employing
such harsh language. He said the
whole truth was that Mr.. Sims did
not believe In false pretenses and
neither did he.
Among the democrats was Repre-
sentative Lively OF Texas

You can't amend it in fifty years"
This is easy All we have to do Is TO LOOK AT
THE CONSTITUTION. IT provides that:
At ANY SESSION of the legislature TWO
THIRDS of the members may propose an amend

At the first regular session after two years from
the time the constitution goes into effect and at
any regular session each eight years thereafter. n
MAJORITY of the legislature may propose an
amendment.
Proposed amendments may be submitted to the
people at the REGULAR ELECTION They
shall be adopted by MAJORITY of the VOTES

be only FORTY PER CENT of the votes east In

Bryan Sounds Warning

William j. Bryan, In an address
before the Missouri Legislature
Thursday afternoon warned Mis-
souri, Democrats OF the doubtful
politics OF Missouri, and remind
ed them that the time has arrived
when they should "pin their faith
to justice rather than to rely up
on any temporary advantage they
may eur by the practice OF in
justice to Republicans. at seems
to me that when the state n

ton In a great campaign such as
We had and on a platform so ac-
ceptable to the Democrats OF Mis-
souri,, II Is time for Missouri Demo-
Gratis to consider the possibility
OF occasional everse and make
them pin their faith to justice
rather than to injustice" he said.
This remark was not applauded
by the Democrats, and many
thought he might be abiding Ia
the contemplated plans OF Demo-
Gratis TO take advantage OF their
present majority in both branches
to deprive Republicans OF fair rep
resentation in the State Senate.
~ know that IL Is very hard "a
get n majority to surrender a pow
er that they once had, and l know
how hard II Is to present justice
to the conscience OF n politician
who thinks that injustice may pay
better, but, my friends, II seems
to me that things are doubtful
enough in this state to make both
parties risk justice rather than In.
Justice" he continued.

Fifty years tomorrow Abraham
Lincoln was inaugurated President
of the United States. At the
time our country was under a
great strain and prospects any
thing but bright. How much bet
ter We are off today in the mat
ter OF peace and prosperity Ia

since then from "a states TO a
states and 81. Ooo,O 900 population to
a mighty nation. The telephone
wireless, electric lights and cars
aeroplanes, automobiles and many
other inventions since that day
have all made life more pleasant
and war is a relic OF the dark ages
Much that we prize most today
Is no doubt due to the great
martyr, Abraham Lincoln.

Some OF the statements made in
an address before the Institution

recently, may cause surprise to
readers who are not familiar with

Of useful work, much less than 10
per cent Of the energy contained
In the coal. Moreover, by pres
ent methods, nearly the whole OF
the valuable by-prdoucts OF the

result OF the fine imposed upon
some OF our citizens for not sweep

Nc. Valley Mercantile Co., Will

able feeling in the matter by some
of the parties fined, in most cases
the fine was no doubt properly
imposed, although there were

To the Curious

We have had many inquiries Of
late as to how we obtained 30
much news; we have decided to
reveal the secret.
The Republican has formed n
new board, which We have decid-
ed to call, 1.-THE Universal, Bril-
liant and Prevaricating Order OF
Brotherly Lobsters." The presi-
dent of this new board is the
well known lawyer, Dan Porter
yice-President, A. A. Vesser' u
goin' some barber; Secretary
aCheesen Hamilton, who can eat
more beans than anyone In town.
and the Treasurer Emery Keith
who Is going to quit barbering
and go to Kansas to buy an oys-
ter farm. 49,.
Now this board Is formed with
a view OF supplying our subserio-
ers with interesting news. They
20 about and get into peoples
confidence then report h result
to us, for instance II a man had
bacon and prunes for breakfast
they hasten to us with the start
ling item. Then when news runs
short, as 1t did last week they dc
not hesitate to make news, this
being done by marrying people
against their will or at least be-
fore they are ready, starting fel-
lows to chicken raising when Their
minds turn other ways, killing
people who are afterwards seer
alive and well and various things
OF the same order.
We are very proud OF our new
board, and r hoping great thing
in the future. Don't you think It'll
