Buggy Out of Lot, Falls

Mrs. Frank Horn, the wife of a
farmer living near Daisy, Mo-, about
25 miles northwest of this city, slip
ped and fell while walking across the
barn lot yesterday morning and was
instantly killed.
Mrs. Horn had left the house to as
sist her children in drawing buggy
out of the shed, preparatory to driv-
ing to the railroad station to meet her
husband, who had gone to Jackson to
purchase Christmas supplies. She had
only gone a short distance from the
house when she slipped on the icy
pathway and fell over high embank-
ment that traverses the lot.
She never regained her feet, and
was unconscious when help reached
her. According to the physician her
neck was broken.

As soon as relief arrived Mrs.
Horn was carried into the house and

hurried examination, the physician
pronounced her dead and expressed
the belief that she had been killed in

son resolution, many of whom voted
for the rule to get the resolution out
to vote, was preceded by a state
ment by Democratic Leader Under.
wood and scattering debate on both
Sides Underwood made it clear that
the Democratic, leadership in the
House was in favor of meeting the
issue with a vote.
"This is not temperance question,
said he. ct never has been. Prohibi-
ton has not produced temperance in
the lands where it has been tried. l re-
gard this question as an attack on the
fundamental principles of our Gov
eminent. If it is allowed to go with
out being met it will mislead many OF
the people. If allowed to proceed with
out being combated, the day may come
when it may be a serious menace to
the principles of Government which
you and ! believe in"
The debate on the rule had been a
running desultory fire but with con-
sideration of the resolution itself the
real heavy artillery was numbered.
Representative Hobson, author of the
prohibition resolution, led off with a
dramatic demand for its passage. He
declared state had right to be
"dry," that the liquor business was an
Interstate nuisance" and that there
had never been a serious conflict be-
tween Federal and state laws for pro-
lection of the morals of the people. He
portrayed the devastating effect of
liquor, "a habit-forming drug whose
shackled Victims" he said, today num-
bered 100000.
Representative Hobson referred to
the graphic charts portraying the
evils of the liquor traffic and, after
speaking only 10 minutes, began to
yield time to other members who
spoke in support Of his resolution.
Representative Connolly supported the
amendment, declaring prohibition
should be a success in Kansas, and
Representative Morgan of Oklahoma
also supported it, referring to prohibit
ton in his State, Representatives
Decker, Tribble, Langley, Logo and
Bell California; made briei speeches
in favor of the amendment. Repre-
sentative Ferriss of Oklahoma made a
vigorous plea for it.
Representative Underwood, then
speaking on the resolution directly,
opposed it. "We are here today" he
said, "to consider a proposal as to
whether certain police regulations
should be turned over to the Federal
Government instead of being allowed
to remain in the Government of yarig

nation placed them"
Underwood declared that the prin-
ciple of national prohibition twas the
very principle which our forefathers
fought; the same principle of central
ization that destroyed the ancient re-
publics of Greece and Rome"
an an idle hour" he continued,
"there has grown up in this republic
faction which, clothed in the white
robe of temperance-for all men be-
lieve in temperance--would tear down
the foundation stones of our national
existence"
He declared prohibition would cost
1925 ,000, 900 in lost revenue.
Chairman Webb of the Judiciary
Committee read an amendment, in
the nature of a substitute, by Repre-
sentative Morrison of Indiana. It
would absolutely prohibit the ship
ment of liquor in interstate and for
eign commerce.
"My reading of the law" he said,
sis that Congress now has the right to
pass legislation equivalent to the Nor
risen amendment under the provision
of the Constitution giving it the power
to regulate foreign and interstate
commerce"
Republican Leader Mann Endorsed
the argument that any further sur
render of police powers by the states
to the Federal Government would be
dangerous. He argued that the en-
forcement of national prohibition
would necessitate ian army of Gov
eminent spies with every township in
the country under surveillance"
"You take away by this resolution"
he said, "the power of the local self
governments to enforce the police reg
ulatione which must depend upon 10
cal public opinion for their enforce
ment. And you turn it over to the
Government here in Washington,
which will lhave no means Of enforce
ment." Representative Browne of
Wisconsin also opposed the amend
ment.
The session began two hours earlier
than usual, in order that the question
might be brought to final vote to-
day, and the galleries were well filled
from the beginning. Lobbies for both
the prohibition and liquor forces were
active both befort and during the de-
bate, the dry element being represent
ed by clergymen and others, who i'm
portuned House members in the cor
ridors and even pointed out to them
the danger Of their defeat at the next
election IL they did not support the
resolution. The opponents Of the
measure were equally active, but they
worked less openly.

On Having Friends.

On the psychology of having friends,
Dr. George "A Coe said at the last
meeting OF the American Psychology.
cal association that the naive under
standing would assert, first, that what
each friend enjoys is the other friend,
not merely goods to me mediated by
him, and, second that the reason why
a giver is valLed above his gift is
that a giver has experiences. We value
objects not only as experienced, but
as having experiences. The sayings,
There is continuity of substance be-
tween minds" and individuals over
lap" do not sufficiently account for
the value attached to having" a
friend. He says, in effect, that psy-
chology is up a stump in its attempt
either to deny or to translate into 9th
er terms the simple assertion that
one enjoys a second experiencing"
through friendship.

G. o. p. is KNOCKED

The list of signers of the 'call to
Republican voters" is beginning to
come in for some hard wallops. The
Deneen cat is out of the bag and
everybody scents the frame-up to re-
store the ex-governor to power.
Aid. Hiram Vanderbilt, Ninth Ward,
said:
"The use by the Republicans of my
name as member of the so-called
harmony slate committee from the
Ninth Ward was without my knowl-
edge or consent and wish to repudi-
ate the unauthorized act of the Re-
pubHcans in trying to make it appear
that l have any sympathy with or in

other Republican faction nominating

the Progressive party. / was elected
as an alderman on the Progressive
ticket in a ward where as shown in
the last two elections the Republican
party has almost ceased to exist"
Charles S. Peterson, editor of the
Hemlandet, said he signed the call
under the false impression that it was
a protest against the boss rule of De-
neen and the others. He is still a
Progressive.
Frederick S. Oliver, Progressive,
who signed the call, said he did it as
a protest against boss rule.
