LUKE McLUKE SAYS

Once upon time a man remem-
bered that the day was the tenth an
niversary Of his wedding and he
brought home some flowers and candy
to his wife and gave her kiss. And
it took eight doctors nine days to re-
store the r woman from the effect
of the shock.
The Soft-Hearted men are the best
fellows and have the most friends. But
they are usually working for and pay
ing rent to the Hard Headed men.

every day man can't understand why

It is funny, but it is fact. The

sistance much good will result in the

ers to all sheriffs, constables, deputies
and even to every postmaster in the
state, but some of them / find have
been very careless in posting same.
have never, however, sent them to the
superintendent Of schools in the diff
ferent counties, and assure you that /
appreciate the suggestion and will do
so at once.
Sometimes more good can be done
by instructing the school children rel
alive to violations of the law than
in any other way. ! assure you | am
always ready to help you in enforcing
the law in your section. "P arkersburg

"Periidious Albion Again.

Now comes England-the England

States has supported to an extent that
has almost deserved to be called

professed to by the exemplar Of all
that is good and high and holy and
just and fair, in international rela-
tions--and flies in the face of nn-
bred years Of international precedent,
and into the face Of her honorable OBJ
legations with us, and tries to override
US on the rights Of the sea just as she
tried to override us in 1872
Fortunately President Wilson has
protested against it, and it is believed
that he will make his representations
SO strong and positive that England
will see a great light ard step out Of
the position she has assumed. Har-

UP DURING THE WEEK

Prohibition Bill Now Manifested.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--Chief in
terest in Congress this week centers
! in the House Tuesday on the rule to
take up the Hobson resolution for sub
mission to the states Of a constitutions
al amendment for national prohibition
Debate on the rule promises to be
spirited. Although it had been pro-
posed to vote also before the holiday
recess on rule for woman suffrage
constitutional amendment, administra-
ton leaders tonight predicted there
would not be opportunity to reach the
suffrage amendment until after the
holiday recess.
House leaders say the prohibition
resolution win not receive the re-
quired two-thiris majority In that
case Senator Sheppard Of Texas, later
4 in the session, will endeavor to press d
Vote on a similar resolution which he
introduced at the last session.
Another effort will be made tomor-
row in the House to get vote on Rep
resentative Levers bill to provide gov
ernment licensing of cotton ware
houses.
III the Senate the immigration bill
remains as the unfinished business, but
efforts to fix a date for a vote have
repeatedly failed, and there is little
prospect that the bin will be disposed
Of until after the holidays. Amend
ments to the literary tests section in
troduced by Senators Thomas and Will
liams will be discussed in all prob
ability until Congress recesses on
4 Wednesday,
Reconsider Sea Safety.
The Senate, it is expected, will
spend some time in reconsideration Of
action on ratification Of the safety. at
sea treaty IN ratifying the treaty
the Senate adopted resolution, re-
serving the right to impose upon Am
erican shipping and vessels trading
from American ports, higher stand
ards, than prescribed by the conyen-
ton. Senator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, as well
as executive officials, have expressed
the opinion that the Senate resolution
would nullify the treaty. A confer
ence was held at the state department
yesterday with view to bringing
about Senate reconsideration of its ac-
ton if possible, and developments
along this line are expected.
The House committee on noval af-
fairs, following the extended public
hearing, will take up tomorrow the
task Of completing the navy appropri-
alton bill, but the measure will not
be completed till after the holidays.
The army and Notifications appro-
priation bills also are well under way,
but will not be reported till after the

NOT A DULL SESSION.

Most Of the important measures on
the administrations pragram were
disposed Of before Congress adjourn
ed a few weeks ago, There is really
little that will be expected Of Con-
gress in this short session. Democrat
ic Leader Underwood has intimated
that the appropriation bills will be
about all Of importance that will be
acted upon.
Several matters Of wide concern,
such as those relating to rural credits
and loans on cotton, would probably
be pressed for action out for the fact
that the federal reserve board has
business of this sort in hand and Con-
gress before acting will await the con
clusions Of that board. Yet notwith-
standing the colorless character OF
the legislation that will probably be
entered on the statute books the ses-
sion will not be dull by any means.
There will be some senatorial de-
bates; some playing to the galleries.

sets will probably insist upon his
