development of very great Importance,

OF values upon a normal basis. In ev-
cry instance speculative short selling Of

liquidation, and the tendency is appar-

start in such materials, the withholding

probably, than they should go. From

spectacular incident of the week, and
the final outcome there and in cotton

Expanding Steel Orders.
Wall Street, according to the current
newspaper reports, is said to have been
taken by surprise at the highly favor
able showing as to untitled orders re-
ported by the United States Steel Cor
poration. The satisfactory showing
will not astonish the readers of this
column, for the fact that the steel in
dustry had touched it's low point in De-
Cember and was dragging on bottom,
and that any change that came would
be for the better, was pointed out here
weeks ago, and 1t has been reiterated
frequently, because l knew the state

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS
BY supt P. N. Allison.
Rockville high school held their
graduating exercises the evening of
May 2. The graduates acquitted
themselves exceptionally we'll and a
large audience was present to hear
them. The citizens of Rockville feel
that they have had a most successful
term of school and all their teachers
will be retained who have applied
and care to. Rockville is one of our
incest little villages, every one taking
pride in keeping their property in
good condition thus giving the town
very presentable appearance.
Rich Hill high school commence
ment will be held May II at the opera
house. They are going to give play
and am quite sure from what have
heard that they will give something
that will be appreciated by all. These
young people will appreciate the at
tendance OF all who can 60.
County graduation will be held in
Butler, May 20 at 200 o'clock in the
afternoon, and we hope to have many
of the country people attend as this
will give them time to return home
that evening if they care to do 50.
Mr.. Green, Of the State Superintend-
ent' t'soffice will deliver the address and
since this is his first visit to this
county we are all anxious to hear
him. We are especially anxious that
all the graduates be present and re-
ceive their diplomas. We feel that
we have the best diplomas that have
ever been presented in this county
and it will be so much better if they
can be gotten home in good condition.
We want to have our picture taken at

INDICATES ENUMERATION
OF u. S. SENATOR LORIMER
Senator Burrows Tells Senate
Majority Finding Was Correct.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 49,
There is absolutely no proof in the
case, direct or indirect, from which
legitimate inference could be drawn
hat q single member of the general
assembly was corruptiy Influenced to
vote for Mr.. Lorimer."
This was the conclusion of Senator
Julius Caesar Burrows, of Michigan, In
a speech In the Senate today defending
the majority report of the committee
on privileges and elections, OF which he
is chairman. confirming the right of
Senator William Lorimer, OF Illinois, to
his seat in the Senate.
After summarizing the testimony OF
Witnesses White. Link. Bekemeyer
and Holstlaw, Senator Burrows de
clared that sit Is obvious that there
is nothing in the statements OF any
one OF them, or In the statements of
all of them taken together, which
would justify a conclusion that their
testimony as to bribery Is true or could
be relied upon in a matter of even
minor Importance"
In introducing his speech, Senator
Burrows reminded the Senate that it
was a court OF ninety-two Judges, and
that no member OF that tribunal should
permit his Judgment TO be warped by
public clamor, however, boisterous, or
private appeals. however potent and COM
manding." He then recited the prelimi
nary corse OF events which led up to
the controversy and enumerated cases
in the history of the Senate where the
right of a Senator to a seat in tho Sem
ate had been contested.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1s.--The United
Mine Workers of America today list
ened to the annual address of President
Tom L. Lewis, who commenced his ad-
dress soon after the convention was
called to order at Memorial Hall.
Much interest was shown in his
declaration regarding the strike in the
Irwin field in Pennsylvania, and some
what of a commotion was occasioned
by his announcement that 1t Is a waste
of money to continue the strike under
present conditions. This declaration
was taken as a criticism of President
Feehan, of the Pittsburg district. Pres
ident Lewis declared that the strike In
the Irwin district of Pennsylvania has
cost the organization 1925. 300 and was
ordered without even consulting the
