Political Interest Centers in

paign

Washington, July 20,-Congress had q
short day Saturday. The attractions OF
the country at the weekend commanded
the attention of many senators and rep
resentatives, consequently the sessions
of both bodies were brief. The president,
as usual did little or no work. There
was much discussion and comparison of
views here and there about pending mat
tiers, but it was all informal. The pro-
posed caucus on the nomination of Thorn
as j. Jones aroused great opposition
among recalcitrant Democrats but none
the less is bringing these gentlemen to
serious thought. This week the contest
over Jones confirmation promises to
come to definite stage. The president
continues determined and is ready to
keep up the fight.
There is great need of bringing sew
eral matters of Senate business to a def
mite understanding. This applies to the
antitrust measures and the committees
which have been working to advance
the Clayton and the railroad securities
bills. Republicans are disposed to allow
no vote upon the trade commission till
they see what these other two win look
like. Forces favorable to the rivers and
harbors bill are also trying to bring the
Senate to vote. The assaults by Sen
ator Burton and others upon those APP
have at last aroused friends
of the bill to demand action.
Both Senate and House Saturday held
exercises in acceptance of the statue of
Of 4. In
at Washington were aware there had
been such a governor of Kansas till his
marble effgy was received here few
days ago for statuary hall. 1t takes a
place there with the statue of the late
Senator Ingalls,. The Senate passed the |
bill, which is the last appro-
priation bill of the session. The only |
appropriation work remaining for Con- |
yress at this session comprises confer |

Copyright, 1914. by Associated Lit
erary Press,

After supper. when Deacon Dolby
| took the Kerosene can and started for
the store. he left Mrs Dolby singing
the hymn that she had home over
there. she hadn't been so cheerful in
many weeks.
When the deacon returned an hour
later there was no singing. The lamp
on the kitchen table was turned low
down. and the house seemed to be de-
serted.
Gone over to Browns said the dea-
con to himself as he turned up the
wick
Then his eye caught sight of note.
and he half groaned.
The note was brief and concise. 1t

calf. and you will find my drowned body in
the pickle barrel down cellar
Mice pickle she'll make grunted
the deacon as be proceeded to the sit
ting room and turned up the lamp
there. He had brought with him four
big apples.
1t was rather foolish of Mrs Dolby
to choose the pickle route to that bet
ter land when there were so many bet
ter ones. he thought
He had finished his first apple and
begun peeling the second when Mrs.
Dolby appeared in the kitchen door
and in a hollow voice exclaimed
Samuel Dolby, the dead speaks TO
you"
Samuel didn't jump out of his chair
He didn't even give a start of surprise.
Samuel. one day last fall. when you |
were pulling the carrots. man came

The deacon remembered, but he didn't
admit that he did.
After a little talk with him you !
started or downtown with the two. /,
rallied and called you. but you never (
even looked back"
1t was true. but 'he deacon wasn't ,
going to say so. He wasn't going to .
say anything az all.
when you got back home you had
skinned nose and was breathing hard.
All you would say about 1t was that

evening Mrs. White came in and told

The deacon cringed, but chewed wig
orously to hide it, He honestly be
lieved that he had lifted the calf, bu
the others were against him
There. is the case. Samuel, and dc
you blame me for jumping head first
into the pickle barrel?'
The deacon had finished his third
apple and he was full. He therefore
shut and pocketed his jackknife and
gave sort of gulp to signify that he
was full.
/ Il thought | could die and not say
i anything about it," continued Mrs.

on you. and so viii admit that have
heard of cases where men were half
crazy about bull calves. That may
have been what allied you that day. If
you think it was. why-why"--
The deacon may have thought so.
and he may have repudiated the sug
gestion with scorn, but he had wise
old head on his shoulders and main
tanned silence except for yawn or two.
IF you were bull calf crazy then /
might forgive you if you got down on

"Humphw said the deacon to him

but don't want to put you to needless
expense. Being as | drowned myself in
the pickle bar'l, why not use that as
my coffin?"
The deacon may have thought it
good idea. but he didn't say so. There
was long minute of silence. and then:
81 don't know but what it is my duty
TO stay here on earth. Samuel. When
husband gets to running after bull
calves. who should watch out for him
but his wife? If you would only get
down on your knees
The deacon made no move to rest on
his marrowbones.
''or if you would promise to let bull
calves alone for the rest Of your life
The deacon yawned and stretched. /

For some time the present embassy
has been too small to accommodate the
needs of the ambassador and his staff,
and he has repeatedly asked for new
home. 1t has been the influence OF the
100000 Italians in the United States
which has induced the Italian govern

SECRETARY OF STATE
FAvORS EQUAL SUFFRAGE
w. ]. Bryan Makes Formal State
ment of His Position.

Washington. July IL. = Secretary
Bryan, in formal statement last night,
came out for woman suffrage. He de-
clared he would ask no political right
for himself he was not willing to grant
bis wife, and announced he would sup
port the proposed State constitutional
amendment extending the franchise to
women to be voted on in Nebraska next
November.
Woman, Mr.. Bryan said, had proved
herself equal to every responsibility
imposed on her, and would not fail So
ciety in this emergency. Above all
other arguments for giving her the
ballot lie placed the right OF the mother
to voice in the moulding of the en-
vironment Of her children.
THE mother" the Secretary said,
"can justly claim the right to employ
every effective weapon for the protection
of those whose interests she guards, and
the ballot will put within her reach all
the instrumentalities OF government, in
cluding the police power"
AS man and woman are co-tenants
OF the earth, the statement says, "and

tha nrae,,ropfion is nm the side AZ anuaIitv
for treatment in allthat pertains to their
joint life and its opportunities. The
burden OF proof is on those who claim
for one an advantage over the other in
determining conditions under which
both shall live. Objections raised to
woman suffrage appear to me to be in
valid while the arguments advanced in
support Of the proposition in my iudg-
ment are convincing.
