the sculptured head Of an Indian, sup

tower door once belonged to the
old house where George Whitfield

tor Bailey vigorously opposed the measure
despite the fact that IT was introduced
In the House by Mr.. Hughes. a Democrat
He presented the timeworn doctrine Of
state rights as the chief ground Of oppO-
sitiOn. Senator Lodge replied that II was
the blind adherence to such doctrines
which brought the Constitution into dis
favor and paved the way for the agitatOrs
who sought TO overthrow that instrument
and 10 incite contempt for the courts
Senator Bailey was quick to grasp the
opportunity to cast reflection on eX-
President Roosevelt. whom he termed an
agitator and TO whom he referred as the
friend Of the Senator from Massachusetts.
Senator Hepburn, although he had voted
for the bill in committee also opposed II,
but all opposition was futile. as the Presi-
dent had done the preparatory work well,
and large majority OF the Senate had
Dten Won over 10 tue lHtdSuIt. lHclt
every reason to believe that the final en-
actment of this measure will result in the
elimination of that scourge known as
"phossy Jaw" from this country. or
course, credit is also due to Representative
Mann, who began the campaign In the
House, but permitted Democratic bill to
be substituted for his own because he
realized that with Democratic majority
the Hughes bill would stand better
chance OF adoption
