America in the Wrong.

This truth-if it is the truth, as I
believe it 10 be-cannot be less dis
pleasing TO France than TO England;
more displeasing, perhaps. to France,
since it was our hearts and our
soldiers who were, in their bad days,
on the side Of the idealist Declaration
of independence, from which has come
the question Of the cotton planters. But
the truth, although cruel, must be ac-
cepted as coming from a friend. What
is the use of contradicting il? ! will

writer in The Tribune has shown with

lively discussion occurred on the
floor led by Congressman Lenroot
who supported a resolution propos-
ing that the rules of the House to
be temporarily adopted but there
after subject to amendment before
final adoption January 18th, In the
debate Cooper and Stafford of Wis.
consin and Lindbergh of Minnesota
aided Lenroot. Henry, of Texas,
chairman of the rules committee
spoke against the resolution to the
effect that he was willing to con-
slider amendments when MAORI
ty of the committee favored taking
them up for discussion. Henry
had the votes if not the weight of
argument and the House divided

variation vii! be the average align

Old members prophesy the COM
ing session will be, in many par
ticulars, the most important of any
sessions held since the Spanish
American war days and judging
from the subjects proposed for leg
islation this early in the day the
prediction seems we'll founded.
A small allotment of soil surveys
for Buffalo County has been placed

government has completed surveys

One will be sent on request to any
applicant as long as they last, ex-
cepting that it is impossible to
supply them to students in schools
because the allotment is so limited.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From Hon. James A. Frear. 10th District
December 10, 1915.

The Presidents message which
he read last Tuesday is the all i'm
portant problem for Congress to
consider. In it he proposes a slight
increase in the standing army and
organization of new military
force styled the "Continentals. A
naval program is also presented.
The national guard which fur
nished the first troops for the Span
ish Am erican war is not given much
consideration in the estimates. If
the program is to be strictly ad-
heard to it will probably result in
much discussion because national
defense advocates have as many
different views on the country's
needs as have those who fear for
eign aggression. Another impor-
tant subject briefly discussed was
how to fill the governments strong
box with funds to cover the large
expenditures proposed by the new
program.
You may be interested in know
ing that President Wilson's mess
age, his longest, required about an
hour in the reading. No gestures
or declamatory efforts accompanied
the reading and from small sheets
about the size of an official envelope
he gave to Congress and the country
his views which are to form the
basis Of legislation.
One Of the significant sights Of
the opening day was a more even
distribution of members Of the
house on both sides of the aisle.
Last session the democratic MAORI
ty reached over 40 and as the
opposing parties usually occupy OPP,
posite sides of the center aisle the
d smocratic seats were crowded and
overlooked to the republican side.
This session the majority will be
less than so, depending defnately
Oh the attitude of several progress
ives who have not indicated just
where they will attach themselves.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Keckler will have the next
Literary program on January 10th.
The program will be printed in the
first notes after Christmas.
Last Tuesday evening Miss
Madge Alton gave a party to the
members OF the high school Camp
Fire, which was the last event for
that organization for 1915.
We were all very glad to have
Miss Stuart back with Us for little
while Tuesday. She will not re.
sumo teaching until after the
Christmas vacation. In the mean
while, Mr.. Wilbur Ensign is very
efficiently filling her place in the
history department.
At the football banquet last Mon
day evening, the captain of the
team for next year was selected by
the members Of the team present.
The vote was almost unanimous
for Billy Smith, and Billy, from the
record he made for himself this
year is undoubtedly the man for
the place.
The following men have been Sc
lected by coach Stillman to repre-
sent the high school in basketball
ct present: Lowe, center; Gregor
Badger and Smith, forwards; Rock,
Peterson ana Davidson, guards
Ed. Rock was chosen as captain of
the team at a meeting last week.
He has been q member of the team
now for three years, and has always
been willing worker. This is his
last year Of basketball in
this school. With such qualifica-
tions, he should certainly make an
excellent captain.

Boxing fans from this vicinity
who saw Fred Fulton in his rather
sorry exhibitions at Hudson are
surprised to learn that he is now

he is TO have chance at the cham

Collins, we'll known throughout the
ST. Croix Valley through his long
residence in Hudson, is manager
for Fulton. 1t will mean a barrel
