CONGRESS MAY NOT
ADJOURN TILL FALL
SESSION FOR ANTITRUST LEGls.
LATloN MAY BE PROLONGED
THROUGH SUMMER.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Whether
congress will adjourn in July or late
in the fall probably will be determin-
ed this week. Democratic leaders for
several weeks have predicted they
would put through the legislation ask
ed by President Wilson and still get
away by July Is, but developments
in the last few days have led some
leaders to revise this opinion. 1t
was admitted today that If the SEN
ate undertakes to put through anti
trust legislation of comprehensive
nature, adjournment hardly can be
taken for several weeks after the ten
tative date mentioned frequently.
Senate leaders had expected to get
through with the tolls bill this week,
but the fact that the senate undoubt.
eddy will adjourn tomorrow out Of re.
spect for the momory of Senator
Bradley makes 1t probable that de-
bate cannot be closed before late Fri.
day. A vote on the bill itself proba
bly, will not be taken until next week
Majority Leader Kern, however, may
resort to night sessions to end debate
before Friday.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR
ADJOURNMENT TILL
FALL, SAYS PAOGtTI.
oLUMRlA CONGRESSMAN IS IN
CITY FOR FEW DAYS TO LOOK
AFTER FENCES.
CANDIDATE FOR EIGHT TIME
Thinks That Trust Measures viii
Consume All Summer-Senate viii
Get Through TOLLS Question This
Week and Then Take up Trust Bill.

1T seems that there is little chance
for congress to get through before
fall. II the senate would quit talk
ing for a while and vote on the meas
ures instead Of spending SO much
time in their discussion, there would
be some opportunity for adjournment
before the summer is over. But now
it looks as If there were little chance
of getting away for several months
more"
This was in substance the state
ment Of Congressman l.. P. Padgett,
who is at home for few days look
ing after his political fences. He is
here to qualify for a denomination to
the house. He seems to be in splen-
did condition and Is the picture of
good spirits and good health. This
will be the eighth time that he has
been candidate for the house and
mot once has he been defeated.
"The senate will probably come to
a vote on the tolls question this week
some time. They will then have to
take up the trust question, which is
sure to provoke almost unlimited de-
bate in the upper house of congress
We are already discussing it in the
lower branch. Speeches have been
made all the past week upon the sub
ject. / do not know when we shall
get to vote upon it. 1t is a vast
question and with so many angles
that it seems that 1t will take good
deal of time to thresh out the ques-
ton into some such form that it can
be whipped into legislative enact
ment. Even when we have complet
ed it in the house, it will take much
longer time in the senate, and then
the two bills will have to be harmon
lied and reconciled in such shape
that a complete, compact bill can be
presented to the President"

SPLENDID SPEECH
Of PROF. GRAHAM TO
HAMPSHIRE PEOPLE
ABLE SUPERINTENDENT MAKES
EARNEST PLEA FOR HIGHER
IDEALS.
HEARD BY LARGE AUDIENCE
Or. E. A. Timmons and Or. Cook Also
Made Timely Addresses at the
Closing Of the School Term In The
Tenth District-Flne Music.

With able addresses, fine musical
program and big dinner on the
grounds, the Hampshire school on
Friday closed one of the most sue
cessful terms that 1t has ever known.
There was an immense audience
present attesting the popular inter-
est in that community in the cause
of education.
Under the able direction of Prof.
j. T. Stamps and his efficient corps
of assistants, the school during the
term has made distinct advance and
is held in the very highest esteem
by the people Of that section.
| The principal address Of the day
was delivered by Prof. John P. Ora
ham, the county superintendent. He
spoke on the necessity of high ideals
i in life. He said that it was because
! of the high ideals Of the Christian
civilization, more than anything else,
that marked the difference in the ad.
vance Of our people as compared with
the other races.
! The speaker said that we would
probably never attain unto our high
ideals; that it would be unfortunate
/ if we did, that we must ever advance
and progress. If today we attain our
ideals, tomorrow we will have high
er one, that we may achieve in life
what at it's beginning we hoped for,
but that by that time we would have
yet higher standard.
The address of Prof. Graham show
ed the most careful preparation. It
was an earnest plea for education.
He spoke of what could be accom-
plished by the boy who was deter
mined upon success. He was given
the closest attention during his ad-
dress and at its conclusion was warm,
ly congratulated upon his effort.
1 Dr. e. A. Timmons made an elo-
quent plea for education, speaking at
some length and held the closest at
tention of his auditors. He was fol-
lowed by DR.. Cook, the pastor Of the
Methodist church at Hampshire, who
spoke from the subject "Our School,
giving a world of timely counsel to
the people respecting their proper re-
lations to the educational institutions.
In the afternoon the music class Of
Miss Culberson rendered delight
full program. A big dinner Of the
best the land affords featured the day.
