FILIBUSTER TACTICS
 GOVERN PROCEEDINGS
Efforts on Part of PrOhibitiOnists to Get White Bill Before Senate De- feated. Passes Bush Bill Re-
 quiring k. k. Move Track

Little Rock, Jan. 28.-Filibuster tactics governed the Wednesday af- ternoon proceedings of the Arkansas Senate, and in this manner all efforts on the part of the prohibitionists to get the White statuatory prohibitin bill before the Senate for further con sideration were defeated.
 Soon after the noon recess Senator White arose and asked that s. B. 75 be taken up for amendment The word, or combination of words nec- essary to give the number of this bill has suddenly become the match which will instantly light the Sena- torial finder, and there were imme- diately a number of objections made. Senator White was asked to state what his amendments were. He declined saying they could be read when the bill was up for consideration. Under the conditions it was necessary to sus- pend the rules, taking a two thirds vote, to consider the bill. This lost on roll call, Is to 13.
 Senator Moore then made a motion that the Senate go into executive ses- sion to confirm gubernatorial appoint ments. Senator Toler asked that this motion be voted down, saying it was a motion to delay legislation. Presi- dent Lundy ruled that it would re- quire two thirds vote to suspend the rules for executive session, holding the reading of bills to be the regular order of business. The Moore motion lost IT to 13.
 Then Senator Doty introduced a bill containing 97 single-space type written pages, abolishing the Arkan- sas Railroad Commission and creat- ing Public Utility Commission. Af- ter 5S pages had been read, Senator White moved to postpone further con- sideration of the bill until Monday morning. The motion was lost. The reading continued until page 78 was reached when Senator Collins moved to adjourn until Thursday morning. On roll call this lost II to 20. It was 4.15 when the first reading was com pleted. The motion for second read ing lost 19 to 10, two thirds being necessary.
 Senator White then asked that his statuatory prohibition bill be taken up for amendment. On roll call the Senate declined to suspend the rules, r to 13. The prohibitionsists then settled down to force the Senate to come to their terms, and when a mo- tion was made by Senator Going to adjourn until Thursday morning, Sen ator Toler offered a substitute to ad- journ at 10 o'clock until Thursday This motion lost If to II and the Senate adjourned, the roll call show ing ' to 15.

France Takes the Trick

TXTHILE the United States was waiting for
wv the British to seize the Dacia, the
French have arrested the ship and taken 1t to
Brest. According to French theory and
practice the transfer of a ship owned by sub
Jects of a belllgerent to subjects of a neutral
is invalid in time of war. The English have
admitted that such a transfer was valid If
made in good faith, and the American de-
Tense of the transfer of the Dacia has been
based on its own practice, which corresponds
to that of the British. But the situation is
changed completely, now that France has
stepped in.
The British could defend the seizure only
on the ground that the exigencies of war
made it necessary. The French can defend
their course on the ground that it is de-
manded, not only by the exigencies of war,
but by the long-standing practice Of the ma
ton.
It will tax the skill of the most astute
diplomatic lawyers in the country to per-
suade the French that they have made a
mistake. The Dacia is, of course, an Ameri-
can ship. The State Department has insisted
from the beginning that its transfer from
the German to the American flag was made
In good faith. It must continue to demand
that the American ilag be respected when
ever II is raised on a merchant ship with the
authority of the Government, and that the
Allies cannot evade the issue by tossing it
about among themselves like a ball.

poets of praise. In perhaps only one instance
has she been disparaged in the name of
poetry. ~ have hated thee, o Spring." cries
Glovannitti. For what?
No storms. no tempests. no hurricanes.
No spasms of long-nursed follies,
No violence of coveted passions,
No brazen display of warm desires and I'M
clad sins,
No exaltation of fecund motherhood,
Nothing but the recurrence of an old fash
ion, the re-wearing of the discarded,
ignoble dress of green, a new coat OF
perfumed rouge over the wrinkles of
the same old yellow face of the world.
What can all the man? Is not spring the
time of rebellion, of bursting vigor, of high
and noble ambitions? Is 1t not the time of
casting off the old forms, the old creeds?
Wordsworth was also a revolutionary. 1t
was in early spring when he heard the thou
sand blended notes that brought sad thoughts

And much 1t grleved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

When Is a Woman Old7

THIS is a question which managers OF
i Young Women's Christian Associations in
different parts of the country have answered
in different ways. In a New England city
they have decided that a woman ceases to be
young at the age of So, and must give up
those privileges in the association buildings
enjoyed by active members.
In the absence of further evidence it may
be assumed, for the sake of those above the
limit, that the managers think that a woman
of 80 has reached the age of discretion and
no longer needs the motherly oversight which
they give to the less mature.
The necessity of fixing an age for admins
trative purposes does not, however, settle the
question when a woman passes the boundary
beyond which she may no longer be called
young. But what is youth, anyway? Is 1t a
matter of years or of ineXperience or of point
of view? Every one knows women of so who
are no wiser than 15-year-old girls in their
outlook on the serious problems of life, and
girls of IS are often better qualified to assume
responsible burdens than women of IS. Yet,
in spite of this, there is something magical
about the word youth which makes every
woman and many men reluctant to admit
that the sun has set on that glorious time,
and that they are in the twilight zone that
precedes age.
Woman always delights TO think herself
young and attractive to the eye, and so long
as she does think it she delays the fatal day
when age shall overtake her. Some OF them
are so successful that they die young at the
age of 70. with none OF their buoyant joy in
life abated.

This means that the Philadelphia Rapid

the Union Traction Company stockholders
can be brought into line, which 1t hopes they
may be.
In these circumstances, It appears that be-
hind the conspiracy for delay and betrayal
are mainly politicians only. 1t seems that
there is an attempt to hold up the transit

prevent them from working in harmony to
put and keep them at swords points for the
greater profit of the gang,

so apathetic in defense of their own inter-

their rights. In such a case they would
deserve to be betrayed.
The immediate thing is to make the
demonstration at next meeting of, Councils
so emphatic that no Councilman will dare
ignore it or venture to vote against the
wishes of his constituents.
Before then, of course, Mr.. stotesbury's

wv men in his big audience last night to
chow how they stood on Governor Brum-
haush's local option plan, and to make the
General Assembly realize that public senti-
ment demanded its Endorsement, he chal-

they have professed. They have accepted
his leadership in one thing. Now let them
accept IL in another akin to the first. Sun

discover whether 1t is straw or stone.

the touchstone which will infallibly disclose
the amount of sham there Is in the purposes
of those who profess to be for local option.

oppose that bill. Billy Sunday has thrown
his influence on the right side. Now we
shall see how strong it is.

the Duke of Burgundy for France. In a fight
with Saracens, Honorius was struck across the
neck with what was capable OF proving TO be
a deadly blow, but because of the fine quality
OF his armor and physical strength of his per-
son no injury was caused. His escape won
for him the title OF Boni Coll. Certain lands
were given to him In the north of France, now
forming Holland and Belgium. His nickname
was translated into the native tongue as 'Goet
