Favors Railroads. He Says.

Senator La Toilette insisted that il
was plain the President was favoring
the railroads in his appointments. as in
the case of Mr.. Daniels. and he declared
that he intended to make the President $
attitude toward the railroads. as shown
by his appointments known to the people.
The revolt created something of SEN
satiou. ami there was much speculation
as to the effect it would have upon future
executive sessions. The general opinion
was that there would be no attempt to
tahC action against members who dtsre-
-arded the rule of secrecy.
Both sides contested determnedly, MI.

President Wilson's well known desire
that his appointee and personal friend

Mack SparrouSh's comment.
1t is reported that the quartet did not
catch fish enough to rememDe- their
friends with a bunch, but each one caught
something. Mississippi catfish and white
perch came their way, and. while they
did not come in large numbers one of the
quartet remarked they will do better in
the future.
Fish dealers are receiving shipments of
the largest white perch ever seen in the
local markets. The 9sh We're caught n

anglers are hoping some of the same kind
of perch will come this far north.
1t is stated that many of the fish weigh
more than Dc pounds each, much larger
than any ever caught in local waters.

have flavor second to none.
John w. Hurley was on the river last
Sunday. Being unable to row a boat. the
veteran angler was taken to deep water
and anchored. In sight of him were many
anglers. and all except Hurley were
catching fish.
The veteran shouted to one OF the boat
men and had his craft changed to what
ne thought would prove better fishing
spot. and in a short time he had fish.

least three ounces
A two-pound mullet was the only other
fish Hurley caught.
A colored man fishing in the deep wa

caught two Mississippi catfish that
weighed twenty-seven pounds, and a num-
Der Of smaller fish. He was on the river
the next day. stated W. T. Reynolds, and
returned with a long string of fish.
Edward o. Craig. who always fishes
alone, has been on the river number of
times this season. having put away his
gun after a successful cunning season.
He is reported TO have made several
splendid catches.

the campaign. hut beneath this is a
question deemed by socialists as even
more pregnant with immediate conse-
quences than the possibility of invasion
1t is declared in some quarters that the
kings crown is at stake.
The point is that while the demand for
stronger national defense has stirred the
whole nation. some classes are appar-
entity still more concerned in defending
themselves against an exercise of power
by their king. Gustave V.
The crisis on this point was brought
about by the kings speech to throns
of $4,000 peasants. who gathered IN
Stockholm from all parts of the country
February 6 as demonstration in favor
of increased ornaments. The. king told
the peasants that the problem OF de
Tense was one which must be SoN ed
without loss of time and on that point
he would not yield.
Warned Against Speech.
The kings speech was made III the
face of warnings from the crown prince
and Prince Charles. and, indeed. from a
number Of conservative and liberal party
leaders The queen and some of the
kings personal friends however. ac-
yised his majesty to make the speech as
originally drawn up, and their counsels
prevailed.

DR.. Knut mmarskjoeid was invited

his adherents were in ,the minority IN
the second chamber. there was no chance
of the defense bill becoming law.
Parliament, therefore, was dissolved
and the issue placed before the people.
The result is that the whole country is
torn with the question of mlhtarls'n
