ORATORICAL BATTLE
NEAR.

Bulletins from Capitol Hill are to
the effect that an oratorical battle
worth while is about to be staged
in the House of Representatives,
where many a stormy conflict of
words has occurred. Within the
next twenty-four hours there is
prospect of getting, up the Admins
tration's bill to repeal the free tolls
clause of the Panama Canal act, and
members who have heretofore
fought side by side under the party
banner are camped with erstwhile
enemies.
If predictions come true the ver-
bal contest will be a sight worth
watching from the galleries above.
Note the lineup: Against repeal
Underwood, Mann, Murdock, Kitch-
in, Fitzgerald. Knowland, Doremus,
Kahn, and probably the Speaker
For repeal - Palmer, Adamson,
Henry, Sims, Covington, Sherley,
Stevens, Madden. These names are
picked at random, but they show
the obliteration of party lines and
promise one of the most remarkable
debates in the recent history of the
House. Seldom is an issue present
ed upon which the leaders of the
three parties represented in that
body-Democratic, Republican, Pro-
gressive-are found under the same
flag, yet Underwood, Mann and Muir
dock march in unison against the
proposal to repeal the tolls exemp-
ton.
The attitude of the Speaker has
not been announced, but the House
would not be surprised to see him
take the floor and declare against
the repeal bill, and in such case he
would be but standing on the Balti-
more platform, which favored ex-
emption of coastwise ships.
The early skirmishes in the re-
peal battle are already seen about
tho House, and oldtimers anticipate
oratorical charges and counter
charges which will be worth going
miles to see. In the end it is ex-
pected the Administration will win
out, but the advocates Of repeal will
know they've had a fight before the
votes are counted.

THE FALL OF TORREON

len before the tremendous assaults
Of Villa and his constitutionalist
army, it seems quite certain that it
will be in his hands very soon, and
that he will have covered half the
road from the frontier to the City
of Mexico. This is far from accom-
plishing the overthrow of Huerta.
but yet it is very patent indica-
tion of the tendencies. Villa is prov
ing himself, for generalship and
fighting quality, all that his friends
and admirers-and he is noe with
out both classes-have claimed him
to be. In the brief campaign before
Torreon he has proved the complete
superiority of his forces over those
of Huerta. Indeed, there has been
little in Huerta's conduct of the fed
eral campaign to confirm the earlier
impression that the dictator is a
capable soldier.
With Torreor in the hands of the
rebels, there can hardly fail to be
great slump Of diplomatic and
financial confidence in Huerta' s
ability at last to win. Certainly the
program of President Wilson is
strengthened by reason Of the fact
that the Mexicans-are coming nearer
to reaching an issue by dint of their
own efforts. If Villa and Carranza
can accomplish the overthrow of
Huerta and his regime, it is to be
presumed that they will feel obligat-
ed to Washington for keeping hands
off and giving them, in the face of
much pressure, a chance to do that
much. Therefore it should be rea-
sonable to expect that they, once in
control of the country, will be will
ing to listen to advice from this
quarter.
Right hers comes in the element
that will be of greatest significance
in determining the future of Mexi-
can developments. A government
headed by so capable an admins
traitor as Carranza has shown him
self prior to the present conflict,
ought to be able to commend itself
to the good Offices of President Will
sons Administration. Carranza at
the head of the civil administration,
upheld by the vigorous military arm
of Villa, should be able to maintain
order much as Diaz did, while at
the same time applying more
humane and enlightened ideals to
the solution of the social ard eco
nomic problems. There has been
persistent fear that Villa might turn
out dictator, and, like Hucrta, take
advantage of his military supremacy
to place himself in supreme control.
That, of course, is a consummation
that would overturn the whole
proper relation of the civil to the
military authority. However, the
hint that such a thing is possible
need not give so much horror of
fearful people, in view of the fact
that Great Britain, a country hardly
to be compared with Mexico, has it,
self just seen the spectacle of the
army debating terms to the civil
power

TO BE MADE FROM REMNANTS
Waist Garniture That May Be Fash.
Toned From Material Found
on Bargain Counter.

There are charming possibilities in
the numerous bargain table remnants
today. when little money plus some
ability will accomplish smart waist
garniture in short order.
An attractive girdle can be made
from a yard and half of black mes
saline or any desired silk weave.
Crush an eight-inch strip around
the waist and divide the rest into one
long strip the full 10 inches of the
material. Sew along the selvage edges
on the wrong side, turn, and finish
each end in point. Knot this over
the girdle-which fastens with hooks
and eyes few inches to the left Of
the center front, and have one end
six inches longer than the other. Sew
a Jet tassel or ball to the end of each
point. A homemade trimming may be
made instead by winding two small
circles of cardboard with a hole in
the center with heavy rope silk. When
closely wound cut the threads be.
tween these two rungs of pasteboard
and tie them tightly by strands of the
rope silk slipped through the card
board and tied tightly around the cen.
ter with ends long enough to make
loops. Make IA such balls. Fasten
one at each point of the sash, crochet
or chain stitch three ends three
inches long, attach ball to each, then
continue the ends for four or five
inches more and finish with another
ball on the end of each one.
