ONE-MAN CONGRESS
Governmental Situation Subject
to Criticism.
Democrats in Senate and House, In
Their Subserviency to the Presi-
dent, Should Remember the
Accounting to Come

Some dispassionate interest on the
part of the rest of the United States
attaches to the discussion now in prog
ress in Washington as to whether
congress viii be in a position to rest
from its almost continuous labors
next July, or must defer its summer
holiday until August or some later
month.
1t is agreed that, before adjourn
ing, the house and senate must per
form certain further tasks, to wit:
Pass bill denying American do
nestle shipping any special privilege
In the Panama canal, pass a rural
credit bill. pass the Clayton omnibus
antitrust bill, pass the Covington in
terstate trade commission bill, pass a
bill regulating the issue and market
ing of stocks, pass bills perhaps en-
bodying further attempts to reform
business as it still manages to exist
and pass appropriation bills of the
customary variety, though presumably
of increased aggregate.
No question whether the congress
will or will not enact these stipu-
lated laws enters into the discussion
There is no question of whether or
not they are desired by the people OF
the United States They are desired
by President Wilson They constitute
the unfinished business on his legis-
lative program. Congress must dis
pose of them to his satisfaction before
it will be at liberty to consider ad-
journment without delay. The only
doubtful detail considered worth
guessing at in Washington is the
question of when
The personally conducted congress
is not original with President Wilson
1t was devised before his time though
perhaps not employed by his immedi-
ate predecessor with distinguished
success. The Democratic president is
not the first to exaggerate his con-
stitutional right to recommend" legis-
lation or to overlook the prominent
constitutional provision by which all
legislative powers" are vested in con-
gress
But as Mr.. Wilson has assumed
legislative authority and RESPONSE
bility to an unprecedented degree, his
followers in the senate and house will
be held accountable by the people in
proportion as they assent to his AFRO
cation of their functions. The &C
counting will take place very soon
after adjournment. Already there are
oraens, as in New Jersey, of a decided
objection to a one-man congress-

End Minority Rule

Every few days evidence comes
from Democratic sources that poll
tcians In the party which has bene-
flied greatly by the division of the
Republican hosts into two armies
fighting each other as well as the
common enemy, are dismayed by
signs of the rapid progress made to-
ward the union of Republicans and
Progressives for the campaigns next
fall and for the years to come. Demo
harmony among their opponents
They see the end of their period of
power in the return of the Progress
ives to reformed and advanced Re
publican party.
1t is all evidence of the reign of
common sense in the Republican and
Progressive parties. 1t is clear that
the voters who feel that the future
of the country cannot wisely be
trusted to the Democratic organiza-
ton and it's leaders have determined
not to waste their strength by division
at the polls. They mean to assert
themselves, in their united forces, and
take possession of the government, in
many states and in the nation. They
have votes enough and they will not
be frittered away for lack of little
reasonable readjustment of party ma
chinery and party platforms.
There has been an almost unprece-
dented prevalence of minority rule
since 1912 The conditions will be
very different after the end of the
present year.

FEAR BINDING TwINe FAMINE
Statesmen Predict Wheat Growers
VIII Have Hard Time Getting
Enough This Year.

The wheat farmers in this section
OF the state have at last found some
thing to worry over in connection
with the growing wheat crop and if all
reports are true the worry VIII be
real worry before the present crop is
harvested There ISIS to be shortage
of binding Irvine according to the
statesmen for the binding Irvine trust
and unless a supply is secured from
some unforeseen source there will be
considerable difficulty in getting
enough of Irvine to take care of the
crop.
One salesman representing the Kan
sas City branch of the International
Harvester company states that orders
taken last fall are being increased
this spring from 100 to 500 per cent,
and in some instances the increase is
greater. One man who usually orders
1900 pounds this spring has increased
his order to 10000 pounds, and hav-
ing an inclination to speculate little
tried to make it 10000 pounds, but the
house refused to fill the order.
1t is stated that the state binding
Irvine plant would this year sell its
product to the dealers and the price
would be one-half cent cheaper on the
pound than the trust will sell, but it
is declared the state supply will be
limited. Orders taken some time ago
are being cut in two and the orders
are being filed on the insta1lment
plan, the plant shipping to the con-
sumner 30-per cent of the order, and
later if the supply is unexhausted 20
or 80 per cent more of the order will
be sent to the farmer

Queen Poor conversationaIist.

Queen Mary is a poor conversation
alist- On some one being brought up
to her it is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him
Then, all of a sudden, she suddenly
ceases, an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away. The
fact is the queen talks well by dint OF
concentration; this does not always
last until the end of the conversation,
and once the thread is broken she
grows distracted, thinking of some
thing else.

KANSAS GOLD RUSH
Wholesale Flowing Follows
Finding of Old Coins in
Grant County.
FARMERS JOIN In SEARCH
Santa Fe Section Hands Desert Rail-
road Work and Go to Digging
Near Old Trail.

Down in Grant county they are for
getting about big wheat prospects and
bumper spring crops to look for gold.
A few days ago Pete Anderson, liv-
ing six miles southwest of New Ulys-
ses, found a ten-dollar gold piece on
his land. Before that three other SINH
lar coins, all bearing the same date,
1S47, were found in the same locality.
The news of the find of the coins
has brought a corps of searchers who
are seeking for treasure believed to
be hidden somewhere in that neigh
borhood. Farm hands are quitting
work on the ranches in that section
to join in the search for gold, and
part of the Santa Fe's extra gang,
at work repairing flood damage on
the Dodge City extension, deserted
work to make a gold rush., to the
Grant county find
So far only the four gold coins have
been unearthed, but a first class Job
of blowing is being done On the And
erson and adjoining farms. The own
ers of the land are permitting the ex-
cavating.
The old dry route" Santa Fe trail
passed up the Cimmaron valley at this
point and the gold coins were found
adjacent to the old trail. The theory
is that some transcontinental tourist
of the sos, en- route to the states
from California, laden with gold, was
attacked by either Indians or Mexi-
cans here, bent on robbery.
This HCimarron dry route was a
faycrite holdout for theiving Mexi-
cans and treacherous Indians. The
date of the gold coins, 1847, is before
the time of California gold, and some
think the coins belong to some Santa
Fe trader returning from Santa Fe
via this short route across the plains,
bearing the fruits of marketing. At
any event, it is supposed a quantity
of gold coin was secreted or hidden
here in time of trouble, and these
who are now searching for the hiding
place believe they will find it in this
locality near the old trail.

Smile despite the pain they feel;
He that wears a frown or worries

Only spites himself and hurries
Where his grave shall close at last.

Atchison's case of pellagra, of which
Frank Marshall is the victim, has

or Hunter of the biological depart
ment of Kansas University was in
Atchison recently to obtain data He
brought with him a number of sand
flies. These were placed in a cage
over one of MarshalFs arms, in order
that they might bite him and become
infected. The flies were taken back
to Lawrence, where they will be used
on monkeys in the biological labora-
tory.
One monkey in the laboratory al
ready has pellagra, and the present
experiments are being conducted to
produce an early state of the disease
After this is done, an effort will be
made to isolate the pellagra germ
which, if accomplished, will make it
less difficult to study the cause of the
disease
Marshall does not improve and
probably will be sent to the state
