"QUIT Eating OUT OF
Mr.. WILSON'S HANDY"
Fess Confronts Prof. Woodrow with
President. Calling Latter Dis
loyal to Former.
HE SCORES THE CAUCUS RULE

An appeal from Woodrow Wilson, pro-
fessor Of political economy. to Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United States,
was made in the House yesterday In an
effort to show that in dominating" Con-
gress Mr.. Wilson is putting into effect
theories that he expounded in his college
days on the lecture platform. A speech
on the sdbject delivered by Representa-
tive Simeon d. Fess, who, like President
Wilson. quit his place at the head OF
school Of learning to enter the field Of
politics, kept the House in an uproar for
an hour or two yesterday. Representa-
tive Fess charged that President Wilson
was constantly encroRching on the field
Of the legislative branch OF the govern
ment, and that the tendency in this di-
rection presented a menace that had
made a strong impression on thinking
people. He charged that two thirds OF
the members Of the present House are
eating out Of President Wilson'S hand.
and that Mr.. Wilson as the utuiar head
of his party. had got into the habit OF
framing legislation and commanding Con-
gress to pass 1t.
Prof. Fess read from a series of lee
lures that Prof. Wilson delivered in
Columbia University in 1908.
He criticised President Wilson Aor cell
ing party leaders to the White House,
advising them what legislation should
be passed, and then putting measures
through by the caucus system.
Replying to Representative Decker, OF
Missouri, a Democrat, who had referred
to the Presidents superior qualities.
Representative Fess said:
Il want to say to my friend that when
he says the President is smarter than We
are, he really puts the whole thing in a
nutshell The executive department is
one thing, the legislative department is
as plus IS, and IL the legislative depart
ment. representing a single function that
is cumulative, or ought to be, or Its
ability, is to be overborne, not by the
lawmakers. but by the law enforcer, then
1 say that legislative function has been
usurped by the Executive, and I do not
believe that you think that is a good
thing

You,rs BEING Talked About.

We do not wish to alarm you unduly,
but do you know that you are being
criticised? 1t may be that you do not
care, either because you are so aban-
doned and so bent upon an evil course
as to be lost to all sense of shame or
because you are so Immediately virtu-
GUS as to leave not single vulnerable
point of attack for the slanderous
tongue. The fact remains that uncom.
plimentary things are being said about
you, things that do not at all agree
with your estimate Of yourself. Not
one of your friends but objects to
something about you. Maybe you do
care. If so we are sorry for you. be-
cause you cannot stop it. 1t would be
good thing for you to mend your
ways, but don't expect to stop the
talk in that way. Figure your life cut
the very best way you can and then
expect your neighbors and friends to
disapprove in all possible combinations
and permutations.-Life.

Ersneh pusllna Me,hod..

Many of the duels In France end
without bloodsbed. When the offense
is not very serious it is agreed before
hand that the words OF command shall
be given SO rapidly that the iuelists
will not have time to take good aim.
Sometimes three shots are exchanged
without hit. and then the seconds
step in and honor is satisfied" AT
the word Fire" the pistol Is raised in
stlntly. and it must be discharged not
.pter than the word "Three." so the
speed with which these words are
given regulates the time in which it Is
possible to take aim. Therefore the
speed with which they are spoken is
agreed on beforehand. this depending
upon the seriousness OF the duel. The
words are timed with metronome.
If the encounter be very serious this
is set at the lowest speed. eighty beats
a minute which gives time for taking
accurate aim. A speed of 140 beats
minute allows no time for aiming.
and. therefore. is used when seconds
think the duel should be made 2s lit
tie dangerous as possible.-Philadel-

Sensation of Drowning.

This is how a correspondent Of the

from drowning:
II and a party of friends had rowed
far out into the bay. We all plunged
into the sea and swan about. went
farther than my friends. and l inl-
agine | got tired. went deep down
and came up again, and I remember
the look of the sky. Then l went
down again. and I distinctly heard a
sound of most lovely singing. ! imag-
Inc this was from my ears. had not
the very slightest feeling Of suffocation
or fear. Only thought that my hus-
band. who was not with US. would be
SO grieved The music became louder
and more beautiful, and l saw a daz-
zling light. The next thing felt was
agony. My friends had missed me,
and as | came up for the last time
they saw my head. was hauled into
the boat. and then came indescribabie
agony as was brought back to life.
The lungs filling again was torture"

Early Earrings.

The earring is not modern inven.
tion, for more than twenty centuries
ago the daughter of Aristotle wore
golden hoops. The philosophers daugh-
ters earrings were found in her tomb
near Chalcis. in Euboea. by exploring
archaeologists. and certainly modern
workmanship cannot produce their
equal. In each golden hoop swung a
tiny dove. with precious stones for
eyes and bands of minute gems to
give the color of the iridescent breast
and wings. The feathers were of gran.
ulated gold. and the tail feathers were
so marvelousIy wrought and adjusted
that they acted like balance, as in a
living bird. so that the exquisite minia.
ture creatures whenever the wearer
moved or laughed or tossed her head
would move and balance themselves
upon their pendent perches.
