for a few minutes regarding the length
Of time for debate. Unanimous consent
finally was reached that the report
should be discussed for two hours and
twenty minutes, and Mr.. Glass launched
into an ANALYSIS Of the bill and the re-
port.
Proqressives in Critical Mood.
Representative Lindbergh, the Pro-
gressive member Of the Banking and
Currency Committee. asserted that one
Of the greatest defects in the bill was
the absence of regulation regarding
the interest rates to be charged the
people by the banks.
This bill may be summed up" said
Mr.. Lindbergh. "by the statement
that invisible government. exposed by
the money trust investigation, has
been legalized."
Representative Victor Murdoch. Pro-
gressive leader. said he had voted for
the Glass bill and would vote for the
conference report, although 1t was an
imperfect measure.
Your Pujo committee proposed

been applied, would have brought re-
lief from the special interests OF this
country" Mr.. Murdoch shouted. you
rejected these remedies. refer espe-
Cially to the recommendation against
interlocking directorates. In this bill
you have struck weak half-blow
against the special interests and the
money power, and time will show that

Representative Palmer. of Pennsyl-
vania. an administration spokesman,
paid a glowing tribute to the Presi-
dent, saying;

Representative Glass presented to the

A SERMON ON GEO. WASH
INGTON. 4

There is supposed to be a law
somewhere on the books making
it a hanging crime for any
editor to send out his February
issue without throwing a few
bokays at George Washington.
And SO, in order to save my neck
and be a law-abiding citizen, I
will now proceed to give you a
little sermon on the boy that cut
down the cherry tree and never
told a lie.. ...
George Washington is the only
man mentioned in history who
could not tell a lie. This peculiar
ity was a great disadvantage
to George. He discovered very
early in life that he was heavily
handicapped in dealing with his
play-mates, all of whom were
good average American liars.
George made every effort to
overcome his failing, but he
couldn't do it.
George got more beating than
any other boy in the community.
The others could lie out of a
difficulty, but George couldn't.
! Once, when George was 9
young man, he courted a very
homely girl whose daddy was
rich. He thought he could put
up with her looks for the sake OF
her money. When he got ready
to pop the question he com
posed a very pretty little speech
that went something like this:
Darling, there is something
; must say to you tonight. I dom
} know how to say it, but I mus
make the effort. Please don't ge
offended. You pearl beyont
price, my soul hungers for you
Your eyes are like sparkling dew
} drops; your nose is chisele'
( after the model Of the gods; you
{ lips are redder than June cher
ries and sweeter than honey i
the comb; your cheeks are NOR
= fair than the blush of wild roses
i Dear heart, I want you for m
J. own. Will you be my -wife?'
9 When he called on the girl ths
night he blew out the candle an

HERE is YOUR FORTUNE.

I have just graduated in Astro-
logy and am ready to tell your
fortune on short notice. I can tell
nearly as big a lie as the Gypsy
fortune-tellers, and when I get a
little more practice | can beat
'em. Just to introduce my work
and to convince you of it's high
quality, I will give you a sample
free of charge.
If you were born anywhere be-
tween December and twelve
o'clock your horoscope would
read like this,
Your Significator in the eighth
house being sextile to the double
transit Of the devils hind leg;
two degrees up and cross-ways
to a three-cornered hole in the
sky; second house for a bee-line
through the ascending arch half
way up and back through Bill
Smiths tater patch, connecting
with your grandaddy's funny
bone two feet and nine inches
northwest of sundown. All of
which proves that you are either
a man or a woman or some other
sort Of beast, and that if you
don't die young you will live to a
good old age.
The wandering aspect of your
Woggle Star indicates that you
will have a mouth, and that it
may be necessary for you to eat

that you may have some hair on

courted by fire light in order to
soften the awful view of her
face. When the proper moment
arrived he dropped on his knees
and began:
Darling, there is something
10
And just then Georges old
weakness asserted itself. He
could not lie. If ever a man
wanted anything in this world,
George wanted to lie just then,
but there was nothing doing.
Visions Of the old mans fine
Jerseys, broad acres and fat
horses rose up to prompt him,
but without avail.
George swallowed once, shut
his eyes, clenched his fists, and
told the truth!
You pie-faced, pimpled
squash, if you were a SNOWFALL
in hades I wouldn't give two
|cents a dozen for you. Your eyes
look like two bad eggs fryin' in
hog fat; your No. IL nose was
put on crooked and looks like 9
red barn on a hillside; the up
per and lower f1apper on that
hole in your face resemble the
main-sail Of a square-riggeo
schooner, and your whole miser
able face is uglier than a SPAWN
ed hound pup with the mango
But your old dads money looks
good to me! Will you be m!
wife?"
! For some reason the girl re
fused him, and thus lost a goot
chance to become the Mother O
her Country.
One time George, took a null
to town to swap. He met
stranger who bantered him for
trade, and George said:
''This here mule Of mine can
see flash Of lightning no
hear it thunder. He's so old tina
his back teeth have whiskers O.
'em. He's always been too in
! fernal lazy to work, but he ca

and never break the crust. +
swap even with you.
+ The stranger thought Georg
d was lying, and traded.

THE MATTER WITH CHICAGO
The Telephone Users Association
gave out the following today:
While we see the doom of modern
automatic phones about to be sealed,
as far as Chicago use is concerned,
we learn that a Chicago factory in
which automatic phones are made is
working night and day trying to keep
up with its orders from foreign coun-
tries. The last order received was
from Rosario, Argentine Republic,
and called for 5000 telephones and
automatic switchboards. This order
was received through the British Of
fee of the Automatic Electric Com
pany.
Automatic telephones are being
shipped every few days from the
factory in Chicago to Leeds, England,
where an initial installation of Is, 900
lines is now being installed. Other
shipments are being made to Sydney,
which is the largest city in Australia,
to install the new girl-less telephones.
Sydney is to have about 100000.
This leads us to ask, What is the
matter with Chicago?" The home of
the automatic should not go begging
when we have the factory so close
to hand. But the sale to the Bell
Company has not yet been made,
and, if the group of telephone users
who are at work to preserve the auto
matte for Chicago have their way, we
may yet HAVE the benefits Of the
modern telephone.
