It is Believed Congress viii Adjourn
on August 7.

Washington.-All legislative paths
now lead to adjournment of congress
quickly after the vote on the Arizona
New Mexican statehood bill is taken
in the senate on the legislative day
of August Z.
The senate probably will then be
ready to adjourn, despite the general
tariff revision threat of Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa and other insurgents
and the house will not interpose any
fresh legislation to disturb the sen
ate's program for winding up the ex
ira session.

The Senate Committee on Judici-
ary has reported favorab,y the reso-
luton proposing an amendment to
the Constitution for the election Of
United States Senators by direct
vote. The report accompanying the
resolution is voluminous, containing
the arguments of those fav BRING the
election of senators by direct vote
of the people. The resolution will
probably be the source OF prolonged
debate and there is little likelihood
of action upon it Immediately.

begun their work on the various
bills. 1t is difficult to forecast what
the legislature will do about these
great measures which effect the en-
tire state, for as yet there is a no
ticeable lack of concentration. 1t
seems, however, that there will be
legislation with reference to the tax
ing of monies and credits, and pos
sibly that the tax ferret law will be
repealed. The present tax laws are
driving millions out of the state ev-
cry year. The Peterson law, an
other freak insurgent measure, will
also be greatly modified, for it has
stopped the progress of Iowa more
than any other law put on the sta
tute books in many years, being so
stringent as to practically prohibit
the forming of corporations in Iowa.
Good roads will be one of the most
important subjects before the legis-
1ature, and it is hoped that some ef-
fective measure will be passed.
Short courses in agriculture for each
county is another measure which
will be literally supported. An anti
treating bill will also be given SER
ious consideration by temperance ad-
vocates. These, and many other
measures will be thoroughly discuss
ed and investigated, and out of it
all it is greatly to be hoped that
something will be done this winter
to advance the progress and pros
perity of Iowa and her people.

On Tuesday of last week the Pres
ident nominated Representative
Walter l. Smith of Iowa, to be Judge
of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, to-
succeed Judge Van Devanter, pro-
noted to the Supreme bench. Judge
Smith is one of Iowa's great men,.
and will honor the position, which
is second only to the United States

Senators Saunders and Gilliland and
possibly II. w. Byers will be candi-
dates to succeed him in congress.

THE SIMPLE Life OF A COMMONER
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. HI. H. Green,
d. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply Of his life, to be preserved
as matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While it was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, by
hood, soldier, clergyman, e. \
lator, ETC., that we find me-
which we believe will be realc
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)

Unfortunate Accident For Luther's
Center Disrupts Team
Work.

Ligaments i'm Ankle Torn and Bono
Fractured, Putting Him Out of

the Season.


tell in connection with the game of
basket ball with Grinnell College
Thursday night which is genuine.
Had it not been for the accident
which happened to Ulviden. the
center, things very different might
Leve happened, and the score have
been largest on Luther's side of the
card.
The game started at 7:15 o'clock,
in order to finish In time for the
visitors to catch the train that even
ing. The first half was the best ex-
hibition of basket ball ever seen at
L. c. Both sides played star
game, fast and furious, yet in true
sportsmanlike manner. The first
half ended with the score IL to IL
in Luther's favor. During the last
minute of the first half the accident
which put Ulviden, the star center,
out of the game happened. While
jumping for the ball the ligaments
in his ankle were torn loose and a
bone fractured, which will render
him unable to play during the re-
mainder of the season. Luther had
no sub-center, so they had to put
Forward Jerde in at center, and
substitute l. Opstad in his place.
This rearrangement of positions
completely broke up their team
work, so it gave Grinnell great
advantage at center in the second
half, SO much SO that the Grinnell
center threw ten field baskets in the
last half, which won the game for
Grinnell, 33 to %. After the first
half Luther's hopes were gone, on
account of the accident to Ulviden.
Mark Hyland of the state univer-
sity, Iowa City, acted as referee,
and N. Madison of L. C. as umpire.
1t is quite possible that games
will be played in the near future
with the state university and also
with Marquette University of Mil
waukee, although dates have not as
yet been determined upon.
DecOrah Wins From WaukOn.
On Friday evening the Decorah
high school girls and boys teams
played a game with the Waukon
high school teams, the visitors be-
ing defeated in both games. Our
high school teams this year are cas-
lily the champions of northeastern
Iowa. They have been playing pret-
ty steadily throughout the season
and have won every game thus far,
and we don't know but that
they are entitled to the state cham
pionship. The scores on Friday
night were 33 to 1 for the girls and
So to for the boys.
Valdez College Defeats McGregor.
The game at Steyer's opera house
Monday night between Valdez Col
lege and McGregor resulted in a
signal victory for Valdez College, by
the score of 81 to 13. The local
team outplayed the visitors in every
part of the game. The first half
score was 3S to 4.
Valdez College vs.. CrescO Friday.
Friday night of this week the VAL
der College team will play the Cres-
co city team at Steyer's opera house.
The Cresco organization is said to
be fast one, and it is very likely
that the game will be fast one. ,
