Too Much Burning.

Within the last twelve
months there have been a
number of burnings in Nor
gan county, principally barns,
and ina great many instan-
live stock, horses, mules and
kline have persisted in these
fires.
Now there is a strong sus-
picion, even among the con-
servative and well informed,
that a number of those fires
are of incendiary origin.
Lest those for whom this ar
ticle is intended be not able
to comprehend our meaning
we will try to express our
selves in language so simple
that the fool may understand.
What we mean by a fire of
incendiaIy origin is this:

cal purposes would steal the
coin from the eyes of a corpse,

hearing of the affidavit,
went before a justice of the

SAYS PROGRESSIVE
LEAGUE IS ACTIVE
President Bourne Asserts 1t
Will Further Reform
Movement.

The National Progressive Republican
League is blooming and fourishing like
green bay tree, according to Senator
Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, who is the
president of the league.
While no State organizations have yet
been formed, things are moving rapidly
to that end. Headquarters have been
taken in Union Trust building, in the
business section. Thousands of letters
have been received and answered, and
many proffers of support have come.
Senator Bourne is most enthusiastic
as to the prospects for the organization
He thinks 1t will accomplish much. He
believes 1t will greatly further the
movement for popular government
From the viewpoint of Senator
Bourne, 1t is Of foremost Importance to
promote this movement and have the
members of House and Senate directly
responsible to the people. Until this
comes about, as he views 1t. much OF
the effort in Congress to get legislation
of a reform character is useless. In
the early stages of the progressive
movement in the Senate, the members
who went into that movement found
it impossible to get Senator Bourne's
vote He told them that all their eff
forts were useless until there was more
direct participation by the people in the
Government. To a considerable extent
he still adheres to this theory.

WEEKS ENTHUSES
OVER HIS MEASURE
Believes Appalachian Fores-
try Bill Will Be of Great
Benefit to Country.

Representative Weeks of Massachu-
sets, author of the original Appalachian
and White Mountain forest reverve bill,
Is enthusiastic over its passage. He
sees in its operation great benefit to the
South and to New England. He thinks,
too. that the Eastern part of the coun-
try Is entitled to some of the conserva-
ton appropriations. In speaking of his
bill Mr.. Weeks said today:
I'm passing the Appalachian forestry
bill, sometimes known as the Weeks
bill, the Senate has taken final legisla-
tive action in a step which believe. will
be of great Importance in promoting
conservation policy in this country.
The bill provides for the protection
of the forests around the headwaters OF
navigable streams, and for cooperation
between the Government and the States
In establishing and maintaining efficient
fire patrol systems.
1T is not an eXtraVagant bill, requir-
ing but $l1,0O0O00 during the next six
years. and II follows the best expert
ence of all nations. Forest fires con-
stitute one OF the greatest destructive
elements in this country, but expert
ence shows that the damage incurred
from these fires can be greatly lesSened
by an expenditure which would, in COM
mercial pursuits be considered very
modest premium.
The bill provides not only the means
but the manner of establishing and de-
veloping this insurance, and will, in my
Judgment, be of immense benefit to all
parts of the country

Ship Subsidy Dead
For This Session

There is every probability that the
House will fail to enact any general
ship subsidy legisIat ton at the present
session. The ship subsidy bill which re-
Gently passed the Senate. Vice President
Sherman casting the deciding vote, bids
fair to rest in the House Postoffice Com
mittee for the remainder of the ses-
sion.
For three days the committee has at
tempted 10 obtain a quorum in order
10 take Up subsidy legislation 1t has
been found impossible to do So Pri-
marily, this is due to the sickness Of FIVE
Of the members of the PosttoffiCe Com
mittee. In addition. there is understood
10 be a disposition on the part of some
of its members to sidestep such a big
question as ship subsidy between now
and March 4.
At any rate, Chairman Weeks is not
optimistic about obtaining a quorum nor
will be predict that the House can reach
the matter at all before 1t adjourns sine
die.
Along with a number Of other import
ant bills of general import and thou
sands of private measures, ship subsidy
hopes, it appears, will die a natural
death at noon on March 4.

STRONGLY URGES
c
DIRECT ELECTIONS
Senator Borah EnthuseS
/ Southerners By Negro
/ Question Talk.

z After morning business in the Senate
, today, the consideration of the resolu-
ton proposing a constitutional amend
ment for direct election of Senators
was resumed.
Senator Borah of Idaho made pow
{ erful appeal to the Senate yesterday
afternoon for the passage of the reso-
luton. His argument was one of the
ablest utterances on the law and the
/. Constitution that has been heard about
the Senate this session.
Southern Members Moved.
II took strong hold on the Southern
Democratic Senators and some of them
afterward declared they were pre-
pared to vote for the resolution, even
If the Sutherland amendment were
adopted.
Senator Borah dealt frankly with the
negro question and declared the North
was playing the hypOcrite and that
prejudice against the negro was IS
great in the North as in the South.
Senator Borah declared the Suther-
land amendment, for Federal control
of Senatorial elections, was "a bull
wark behind which IL was proposed to
shoot thee resolution to death"
Race Prejudice in North.
The Idaho Senator asserted the race
question had been brought into the sit
uatiOn in the fond hope it would serve
10 beat the resolution.
The Northern States have exhibited
the SAME race prejudice that has been
shown elsewhere said Senator Borah
In the North we burn the negro at the
stake, and there, as in other sections
we have our race wars. We push our
negroes to the outer edge of the in
dustrial world. We exhibit the same
FrejudiCeS. the same weaknesses the
same intolerance that is apparent in
the Southland"

The Franklin commercial vehicle
agency has also been placed with the

list of models includes, besides the usual
line Of trucks and delivery wagons,
many special cars for ambulance and

government.
