 more democratic doctrine than if you
 wrote a high protective tariff plank into
 a democratic platform" Turning toward the speakers dais, and pointing toward Speaker Clark, MT. Hard-
 wick shouted:
 ''rhe distinguished gentleman from Mis-
 souri, whom we all love, joined last night in an eleventh hour assault upon the ad-
 ministration and his own party. .T will ask the gentleman whether he does not know that if he tears Woodrow Wilson from his pinnacle no democrat can stand alone Does he realize he must support this administration be turned
 into the wilderness for 40 years more:" As Mr. Hardwck concluded, Chairman Henry moved "the previous question and a roll call was ordered. Speaker Clark did not take the floor in the running debate to discuss the rule. Call of roll, the task consuming half an hour under ordinary circumstances, then proceeded
 Representative Anderson of Minnesota was the first republican to vote against "the previous question:" Representative Broussard of Louisiana being the first democrat to vote against. Representative Garner of Massachusetts was the first republican to vote for it.

MOVIES FOR CHILDREN
Suggestion for Kansas Sunday School
by Commercial Club Speaker.

That the moving picture shows are
a much more dominant factor in Civ
ing children food for thought than all
the Sunday schools in Kansas was the
assertion Of the Rev. Theodore Han
son, superintendent of the Kansas
Welfare association. who spoke at a
meeting at the Commercial club to-
day.
The speaker said in brief: "The So
cia1 life of d community is largely reg
ulated by the character of it's amuse-
ments. The picture show is the most
popular amusement today. The COM
munity stands responsible for the char
acter of the show. There is not a boy
or a girl who is not Influenced directly
or indirectly by the influence that ema-
mates from the picture shows"
1t is the contention of the Kansas
Welfare League that the city or COM
munity should look after the moral in
terests-should establish Fairgrounds.
social centers, and censor amusements.

peated the double blast twice. Then
almost like putting on the brakes. the
Monroe stopped and knew there was
something the matter. Rushing on
deck, saw somebody getting ready to
put a lifeb6at over. 1 asked him if
there was any danger; he replied he
did not know, but wanted to be ready.
Almost Immediately the Nantucket
struck us near the bow on the port side.
I ran down stairs and tried to dress,
but the ship was listinp SO that could
not stand up SO I hurried back UP.
There were very few passengers on
deck and one boat was overheard. AS
1T pushed away Captain johnson told
me to jump il as there was room for
one more. I had to jump to make it
and left Captain johnson standing on
