NEWS WOULD TAKE ADS EVEN IF
THEY DIDN'T LEAD TO JOBS

lie biggest asset the Dally news
has is it's want adj columns. To
these columns the thousands of I'M
employed rush each afternoon with
the belief that in them lies the best
chance of securing a job.
But testimony which came in the
mandamus proceedings filed by o. G.
Harris, manager of the Harris EN-
ployment Agency, against Richard
Knight, inspector of employment
agencies, indicates that the informa-
ton in the want ads is not always
accurate.
The Harris-Knight feud has been
hanging fire for long while. Knight
has several complaints against Har-
ris. He took these complaints before
the state board and succeeded in hav-
ing the board refuse to issue new
license.
Whereupon a new license was
taken for the agency in the name
of Harris partner. Recently the Bos-
ton Store complained that Harris
was sending girls there without au-
thority from the store and when
there were no jobs.
The Boston store got so worked up
over it that they began to get busy
on the tribune, one of the papers in
which Harris advertised. The Bos-
ton Store is one of the Tribune's adj
vertising mainstays. The Tribune
barred Harris ads.
Then w. S. Mcfarland, advertis-
ing manager of the Tribune, having
dropped the ads desired to have the
Daily News drop them and sent In
spector Knight over to Claude Camp
bell, advertising manager of the
News
Knight laid before Campbell TWEEN
ty-five or thirty complaints against
Harris. He explained in detail the
operating methods of the Harris
agency.
In the course of his explanations he

The Next Senate-and the Next.

For short time after the November
election it appeared as though the
democratic control of the Senate had
been materially weakened through re-
publican gains in Nevada, Indiana and
Colorado. Had those states returned
republican senators the democratic
strength would have been reduced
from fifty-three to fifty. and the repub-
licau strength. assuming victory for
that party where it held its own, would
have risen from forty-two to forty-fiye.
with one progressive. But when the
returns came in more fully it appeared
that not only had the democrats held
those four states. but had gained in
Wisconsin, South Dakota and CaIifor-
mia, thus increasing their number in
the Sixty-fourth Congress TO fifty six.
while the republicans will be reduced
to thirty-nine Thus. as the record now

cOrding to unofficial publication just
issued by the secretary of the Senate,
will be seventeen in tho next Congress
and the majority sixteen.
These figures have a Significance be-
yond the effect upon the democratic
program during the last two years OF
the Wilson administration. They mean
that even if republican President
should be elected in 1916 he would
probably be met with a politically hos
tile Senate. and with a possibility that
this condition would continue through
out his administration. With demo-
cratic ma iority of sixteen senators IN
the next Congress the republicans
would have to carry seven democratic
and one progressive seats in 1875 and
hold all their own. in order to win to Il
tie There are seventeen democrats.
fourteen republicans and one progress
i've whose terms expire March 4. 1917,
and whose successors will be elected in
November. 1916. This means that the
republicans must re-elect every repub-
1ican senator two years hence and cap
ture the one progressive and eight
democratic. nine democratic, seats
In order to gain ma jority of one. But
six of the seventeen democrats come
from such -rock-rbbed states as Ari-
IONA, Florida. Missouri. Texas. Nir-
Sinia and Mississippi. The other states
now represented by democratic SEN
ators of the 1917 class are West Viz
GINA. Nebraska. Maine. Indiana. Ten

the democrats can retain five of these
eleven they will hold the Senate at a
tie.
landslide might enable the repub-
Hcans to regain Senate control. but it
would evidently take countrywide
sweep of votes to effect that result. In
any less general political movement it
is unlikely that there will be series
of changes favorably affecting only
one side. Thus, the republicans stand
a chance of losing in such states as
New Mexico. Wisconsin, North Dakota
Utah and California, in two of which
they have just lost senators by the
