MAN BELIEVES
 NEWLANDS BILL WILL NON PASS

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 22.-Geo H. Maxwell, executive director of the National Reclamation Association, who is in the city in connection with his work in the interest of it's river i'm provement scheme, pending in Con- gress for two years, yesterday express ed renewed confidence that the plan will be approved by the present con- gress. The Newlands bill in which the ideas are embodied will, in his opin- ion, be passed within four months.
 The bill contemplates the eXpendi- ture of $6O,OOO,OOO annually in river improvements, $1O,OO0,0O0 of which would be expended upon the improve ment or the watershed of the Ohio and its tributaries. Should the bill be passed in four months time, the sum of $1O,0OO,000 would be immediately available for improvements within a short distance of Pittsburgh, the great part of it being likely to go to the con struction of reservoirs for the reten- ton of the flood waters. MT. Maxwell said:
 Within a few weeks the members of Congress will have their attention focused upon the Newlands bill as means of preventing business depres- sion, which some persons say is now threatened and some others assert is upon us Many of them already un- derstand that it is possible through this measure to prevent what promises to be a period of hard times. With a vast work of internal improvements, such as this, in progress in the coun- try and reasonably certain to continue for ten years, panic conditions would be impossible.
 ''It has been proposed in California in connection with this movement to bring the entire force of Panama CT with their great mechanical equip mept, into the river district which is to be improved to aid with their work. This movement is catching on in vari ous places which I have recently wis ited and while it looks like some thing of dream, it doesn't appear to me in the least impractical"
 Mr. Maxwell will go to Wheeling this morning, where he will deliver an illustrated lecture on the flood proven tion and irrigation plans this evening. He will be back in Pittsburgh for a few days before going to Washington In Chattanooga and other Southern cities where Mr. Maxwell has recently been sent by his association, the wom ems clubs have become deeply inter ested and are giving effective aid.

PROGRESS|VEs ENDORSE WILSON
 POLICY PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.- The Progressives of the House met in conference recently and adopted a satirical resolution relating to the ''get together" gathering of the Repub- Hcan party now in progress here. The resolution offered by MT. Temple of Pennsylvania, and adopted with big whoop, reads,
 Resolved, That the ProgrOssives of the House of Representatives view with interest the death-bed repentance of the Republican leaders for the sins of the late Republican national con- vention and their present hypocritical offer of reform in the representation at future conventions; but we call attention to the fact that reform of the

CONCENTRATION IF WEALTH |S
 ALARMING; STATISTICS QUOTED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.- In the course of rambling speech by Representative Lafferty of Oregon, attacking the Newspaper Trust" he wandered into the storage vaults of statistics and brought out the fact that we have in this country one hundred and twenty-five billion dollars in wealth, and that fifty men own forty per cent of this wealth. Tn other words acording to MT. Lafferty, $50 men own nearly half of the total prop erty of the United States"
 Referring to his grievance against a trust" the Congressman says that WHEN ANY CITIZEN GETS THIS INFORMATION OUT OF A CORPOR- ALTON. OWNED. NEWSPAPER WISH HE WOULD COME AND LET ME KNOW"
 Continuing, he says that two hun dred thousand men own seventy per cent of the whole wealth of the United States, leaving only thirty per cent for the remaining 99,SOO,OOO. That the figures are accurate is vouched for by the fact that they are from the government census reports. In sup port of their authenticity, Mr. McGilli- cuddy of Maine, is quoted as having used the same figures in the course of his speech in the house last year.
 Moralizing upon the issue, the gen tleman from Oregon says:
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1913-12-25

'If any citizen believes that it is a healthy condition to have two per cent of our population own seventy per cent of the wealth, and to have fifty men own nearly half the colos sal wealth of the United States, or that such a condition would have come about under fair laws, I should like to see that citizen. He would be the kind of citizen who would believe the statement of a private newspaper corporation, operated for private gain in preference to hat of his own pub lie servant.
 .The wealth of this country has been concentrated by three methods to-wit: Public-service monopolies, left to charge all the traffic would bear industrial monopolies, allowed tc charge for their commodities any price they saw fit to fix; and through usurious interest collected from the public at large by the money power.
 During all this process of wealth concentration Congress has remained inert as though paralyzed. The news papers have kept the public entertain ed by the general information and by alleged bitter contests" in congress over non-essential affairs, as, for ex- ample. whether the tariff on woolen manufactures should be thirty-five or fifty per cent when either rate would be practically prohibitive"

The Day After Christmas.

A graceful finish is one of the most venture. The pianist does not drop his hands abruptly from the keys as soon as he has played the last note, but holds them there moment longer un- til the music dies away. Diners out would be indignant if the table were whiSked clean the moment the last mouthful was swallowed. They find the lingering on little while over the coffee and nuts most delightful.
 Christmas is too beautiful and too solemn a festival to drop in this nasty fashion the moment the clock strikes midnight, for any occasion which needs especial preparation also needs an adequate closing. and particularly is this true of those things whose val ue lies in sentiment.
 There are many things to be done after Christmas. There are letters to be written. houses to be put in order, gifts to be arranged. and every one of the countless details may be done ei ther with grace or without it. In the theater the final curtain falls with fit- ting dignity or appropriate gayety. It has all been a play; but. even so. the actors do not walk off after the last word is said and allow the stage hands to rush on. That would offend the mood of the audience. How much truer this is of something which is not a play, but very real part of life!
 The days after Christmas should be as mystical in their way as were the days before Christmas. The ornaments that decked the tree should be put away with the same care and pleasure with which they were brought out, the greens taken down with the same mer- riment that accompanied their going up. The aftergIow is sometimes the most beautiful part of the sunset. and some times it is even more beautiful than the sunset itself

CHRISTMAS TIME.

H FACE and good will toward men!
 Best Christmas time That brings to famished thousands x good meal,
 While even those, immured in cells
 that steal From others-make their livelihood in
 crime Now sit at tables with the best of fare. Children, unused to Iuxuries and joys. Now have abundance, are cen blessed
 with toys, For did not Christ take such unto his
 care? The laborer sick, his family hungry, cold Is now remembered; wood and coal and
 rent And flour and meal and fowl to hIm are sent By them that know the genuine use of gold. Whose eyes have seen the shepherds watch
 by night. Who've read the Sermon on the Mount aright Edward s Creamer in Brooklyn Eagle.

CAN YOU DOUBT IT?
When the proof Can be Easily In

VeStigated
 When so many grateful citizens of this locality testify to benefit derived from Doan's Kidney Pills, can you doubt the evidence? The proof is not far away-it is almost at your door Read what a resident of this local ity says about Doan's Kidney Pills. Can you demand more convincing tes timony?
 D. M Lewis, 634 N. Sixth Ave, Phoenix, Ariz., says: My back ached most of the time and I was so weak could hardly lift. I was all tired out in the morning. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended, got some. They cured me. I now seldom have any trouble from my kidneys. have kept Doan's Kidney Pills in the house since and never intend to be without them"
 The above is not an isolated case. MT. Lewis is only one of many in this vicinity who have gratefully endorsed Ooan's. If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for kidney remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that MT. Lewis had. soc at all stores.
