Republican From California
Points Out Where Demo-
Gratis Have Failed
CALLS FOR ACTION
TOWARD MEXICANS
Deplores Intervention, But
Says U. S. Policy Makes
the World Laugh (

Washington. D. c., March 6.-Em-
phatic disapproval of the administra-
ton, the legislation which it has pass
ed and of what he called the coercion
used by President Wilson to compel
action by congress- was voiced in the
senate today. by Senator Work of Cali
fornia, republican. He reviewed the
achievements of the executive and leg
islative branches of the government
In the "one year of democratic rule
A year of almost continual congress
sional session mostly for the political
advantage of the democratic party"
was declared to be the most striking
feature of the administration.
The senator reviewed the tariff bill
and charged that but for the coercion
used by the president on congress. 1t
never would have passed" Executive
pressure had created in the senate, he
said an apathy that impaired that
body's usefulness. The income tax
law and the currency bill were also
mentioned in this connection. Re-
ferring to the Panama tolls question
Senator Works said the people believ-
ed the granting of free tolls for Amer
lean coastwise ships will want some
good reason for this change of front
on the part of the democratic party
under the leadership of the president.
If it is done to satisfy the demands of
Great Britain they will not be satisfied
with this submission of legislation to
the dictation of foreign country.
n" However, If the president is satis-
fed for good and valid reasons, that
.he free tolls clauses should be repeal
ed, his advice that it should be done,
in spite of the declaration of his party
to the contrary, does him credit"
In such a case, he said, 1.-The presi-
dent is for once acting as president of
the United States and not as leader Of
his party"
The senator said the tendency to-
ward paternalism and extravaganza in
the appropriation of public money was
a marked characteristic feature of the
administration.
He declared that it was evident to
al THAT the administration is opposed
to grant suffrage to the women. But
lacks the courage to come out openly
and oppose it."
He continued: "It is too early to say
whether the amount realized from di-
rect taxation will make UP the de-
ficiencies resulting from the tariff re-
ductions. It Is being whispered about
that the actual collections from in
comes will fall far short of the esti-
mates on which the bill was founded
and that the loss of revenues and the

We know not what God holds in
store,
Nor what his will for each may
be,
As pass we through ar other door
= Of life's untraver,ed mystery.
We know not if this year may lead
To shade or sunshine, JOY or woe,
To thorny road, or fowery mead
Whilst yet we tarry here below.
We know not: but It's good to feel
We cannot pass from ont His
care.
Upon His own. God sets His seal.
And He doth keep them every

Then let us now, with heart at rest,
Start bravely forth on paths un.

Our Father plans for each the best,
And He most surely will pro'
vide.

Old Fashioned Holland


Amsterdam is divided by the
Amstel and numerous canals into
100 small islands, connected by 800
bridges"
Ans terdam is in many respects a
modern city. But on the morning
after our arrival, we were off at
$3.50 o'clock for a day in old fash.
ioned parts Of Holland. There ls no
need of fences here, trenches full
of water take their place. We are
below the level of the sea and not
far from it either! The brave and
persevering Hollanders have driven
back the sea and with their dikss
hold it back. Holland means Hol-
l.nd Land. by the sea, at high

the level of the soil and Of the ocean
of quite 25 feet or more" This
section is paradise for ducks. This
Is auckland as well as Dutchland.
At lO:35 we reached Brock in
Waterland. We visited the old
church. The pulpit dates from
1885. There is a bell on the collec,
tion basket. | suppose this ia to
awake sleepers and arous. careless
ones. The ladies' have the front
seats.
Our next village was Monniken-
dam. Here and at Amsterdam they
have mirrors 80 arranged that the
people in house can see who is ap'
preaching on the street.
On this days trip We saw people
wearing wooden shoes. The men
wear trousers each leg too large Tor
. hobble skirt. The wo,uen's skirts
are hot hubble,
We left Edam in a little canal
boat, one man pushing the boat by
means Of pole run from the stern
at right angles to the boat. The
mau walked by the canal. A girl
walked in front and guided the
boat by means of rope. This IS
Lot usually done by a girl or wo-
man, but this day. July Q, was in
the midst of busy cutting hay time.
From Volendam to Marken we
went in sailboats. Our party went
in three boats. TIE boat Mrs. Wal
ker and were In was the last to
start, bat our sailors landed us first.
From hand power boat to wind
power boat What p:xt? Something
modern. From Marken to Manni-
kendam by motor boat. Then by
train. We saw a man riding in
cart drawn by two dogs.
Today instead of the brick and
stone houses of Scotland and Eng
and, we saw many wooden houses.
We went into one of the quaint
little homes. The beds were made
in the wall like china closets, two
stories of them. OF course we saw
wiadmills. They are used for
pamping oat superauous water. The
following on the water question in
Holland may be of interest:
THE cutting and maintaining of
csuals in H"lland is one Of the chief
functions of the WaterStaat, a pub
lie department lhat is carried on
u ,der an independent minister Of
the crown. The reclamation of land
by the drainage OF lakes, and by
pushing back the sea, is likewise =
leading feature in the operations of
the Waterstaat. The maintenance
of dikes by the waterstaat forms
another task of vital moment. The
annual cost Of keeping one of the
larger kind in repair frequently
reaches $4,000"
