Cable News
PRO AND CON
ON Canal GUNS
(Associatad Press Cable,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 19.-The
opening gun in the fight for the forth
fication of the Panama Canal was fired
today in the House by Congressman
j. Warren Keifer of Springfield, o.,
who is Republican.
Congressman Keifer took the side of
the peace party and spoke at length in
favor of the naturalization of the Ca
nal Zone, asserting that it would cost
a total of over one hundred million
dollars to properly fortify the canal
Congressman Richmond P. Hobson
strongly opposed Keifer in his conten-
lions, and asserted in most emphatic
speech that the Panama Canal was too
vital a spot in time of war to be left
without means of defense.
In an impassioned address Captain
Hobson urged the fertilization of the
Canal Zone and declared that now was
the time to prepare for war, while the
nation was at peace, and that those
who would be best pleased with q
naturalization of the canal would be
the enemies of the country in time of
war.
His remarks created something of a
sensation, and it is expected that the
debate on the fertilization bill, as adj
vocated by President Taft, will be con-
tnued tomorrow, and it may be some
time before vote is taken

The first bright day Of spring proved
too much for the regular routine OF
the twins, Carol and Muriel, who call
the Hoffman home in Lakewood their
own. despite their tender age, being
four years. Instead Of taking their
usual afternoon nap they played out
doors until few raindrops drove
them indoors. In consequence they
were tired and sleepy at the dinner
table. contrary to their won't

Every one was nasty the next morn

feet were frost-bitten and kept Bella
rubbing them with ice water all morn

fused to speak to any of US. and he
watched Bella furtively, as II he sus-

the house.

we had conclave. and Max was
chosen to remind him of the hour.
Jim was shut in the studio, and we
waited together in the hall willis
Max went up. When he came down
he was somewhat ruffled.
He wouldn't open the door," he
reported, and when I told him It

Just Hopes.

A gentleman never snatehes his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his peck
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can md.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt wheA his wife runs aeross
loose change or roll in his pockets:
he ought to play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for
granted.
