pressed their disapproval of the Payne

Handwriting on Wall

indignant and determined. and, thank
God, the day of their deliveranee Is at

The Passage of the bill In the

1T was great day for democracy
and proves the weakness Of their own
position and the hopelessness of their
self-imposed task In trying 10 main
tain system so universally con-
demned
The democrats in the House are jubi-
liant over their victory and confidently
predict the passage OF the steel sehed-
ule over the Presidents veto and some
OF them go so far as TO say that the
bill will also pass the Senate.
Tie action of the Senate in the wool
bin matter and just how they will
handle II Is now the one topic of con-
Versation In Washington.
