Washington.-The house of repre-
rentatives, by a vote of 172 to 112,
practically a strict party vote, re-
fused to concur in the Bristow
amendment adopted by the senate TO
the house resolution providing for the
direct election Of senators. The Bris-
tow amendment leaves with congress
the power to regulate the time and
manner of holding these elections,
while the resolution passed by the
house during the early days of the
present session would change the con-
stitution SO that 1.-The times, places
and manner of holding elections for
senators shall be as prescribed in
each state by the Legislature thereof"
Representative Sells, republican, Of
Tennessee, voted against the amend
ment, while Mr.. Bourke, democrat, of
Wisconsin, voted for it. Representa-
tive Berger, Of Wisconsin. socialist,
voted for ii. The resolution, therefore,
is returned to the senate for reconsid-
GRAFTON by hat body as to whether

FOR FREE TRADE ON WOOD PULP
Prepared to Vote for Reductions
When Question Comes Up-Omaha
Making Bid for New Rail-
way Mail Division.

Observation-Disclosures Brown of Me-
braska put himself on record in the
senate on several propositions which
are involved in the democratic pro-
gram. He is for free trade in wood
pulp and print paper and for a re,
vision of the wool schedule at this ses.
sion Of congress. The Nebraska SEN
atOr was engaged in a debate with
Senators Lodge and Root for the pur,
pose of showing that the Root amend.
ment to the reciprocity bill dealing
with the section devoted to wood pulp
was useless and was not offered for
the purpose of helping the bill.
Senator Bailey asked Senator Brown
if he wanted free trade in wood pulp
and print paper. The Nebraska sem.
ator acknowledged that he did.
President indications are that the
new railway mail division will be es.
tablished at Omaha. Senator Hitch
cock had a conference with Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock. during the
course of which he pointed out the
government would make a large an
nual saving because of the ample Of
fee facilities in the p%ostoffice build
ing in Omaha. He also pointed out
that inasmuch as the administration
has decided to remove a large num-
Der Of army officers to Chicago, it
should attempt to compensate the city
by giving it the railway mail head
quarters. The postmaster general said
the matter had Eve been presented
to him in that light before, and the
impression prevails in the department
that his decision will be in favor of
Omaha.

out by d house resolution requesting
him TO transmit at once all of the in
formation procured by the tariff board
relating to wool and the manufacture
of wool.

L0ndon.-On Thursday, the day of
the crowning of George V king of the
united kingdom OF Great Britain and
Ireland and of the British dominions
beyond the seas, nothing had been
wanting to make the solemn and i'm
pressive ceremony one long to be re-
membered, not only throughout the
country, but in every corner of the
great empire. Never before in history
has the imperial note been struck in
such magnificent manner. Its i'm
partial aspect undoubtedly has been
the NEST remarkable feature of the
coronation.
George V, more than any sovereign
in the past. represents the embodi-
ment OF the imperial idea. He only of
all his predecessors on the throne
travelled through his vast domains and
thus acquainted himself at first hand
with the needs and aspirations of all
the various peoples of his empire.
Then, by happy coincident the i'm
perial conference sitting at the time
of the coronation enabled all the rep
re%sentatives OF the kings oversee do
minions TO participate in the sig
nificant ceremony at the opening OF
the new reign, which, if hopes of those
attending the conference bear fruit.
will bring all parts of the empire into
closer and more intimate relations.
The great state pageant was carried
through with dignity and impressive
ness and made a deep impression upon
all those privileged to witness it, and
it was accompanied by an outburst of
loyalty throughout the kingdom that
might appear surprising at a period
in the worlds history when thrones
10 longer appear 20 be established on
the surest foundations.
The remotest suburbs of the great
city and every village in the land
gave evidence of devotion and loyalty
to the throne. Not the hunblest home
but displayed a flag or Illuminated
device. portraits CT the king and queen
and a loyal motto.

WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That a Tired Preacher Should

A minister speaks of the curious er-
feet Of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
You will doubtless understand how
the suffering from indigestion with

and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight.
Il had to be very careful as to what
1 ate, and ever with all my care Iex-
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts
fed me.
Since 1 began the use OF Grape
Nuts the benefits / have derived from
it are very definite, 1 no longer suffer
from indigestion, and 1 began to i'm
prove from the time Grape-Nuts ap-
peared on our table.
81 find that by eating q dish Of this
food after my Sabbath work is done,
(and l always do SO now my nerves
are quieted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
Il feel that 1 could not possibly do
without Grape-Nuts food, now that I
know its value. It is invariably on our
table-we feel that we need 1t to make
the meal complete and our children
will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot
be persuaded to touch anything else"
