Only Two Months.

This is the 4th of January. Two
months will bring US to the 4th OF
March, when the present Congress dies.
How much business can be transacted
in that time?
1t all depends. Some of the business
in hand is urgent. The appropriation
bills should by all means be passed.
and can be, if no effort Is made to
hold up one or more of them in the in
terests of measures on the Presidents
card. In that event a difficult and
doubtful situation will arise. AS be-
tween the actual and undisputed needs
of the government, as expressed in the
supply bills, and the measures recon-
mended by the President. which are
disputed-some Of them within his own
party-there should. but may not, be
an easy choice.
Although not so strong now as be-
fore the November elections. the Presi-
dent still has pull with Congress:
and II his lieutenants in that body in
sist on his program. the effort to put it
through will produce a lively set-to.
Only one thing is certain. If one or
more Of the large supply bills should
fail, an extra session of the new Con-
gress will become imperative.
In considering the congressional sit
uation 1T is important to remember the
Importance of the Senate. Speed Is
regulated by the Senate The House.
In a strict sense, Is not deliberative
body. Measures are passed there while
you wait. The President gives the sig
nal to the committee on rules, the COM
nlittee signals the House, and the thing
is done. A few hours for general de-
bate. few more for amendments fore
doomed to defeat, and all is over.
But the Senate insists on delibera-
,ion. 1t refuses to be hurried. If
matter is not plain, it wants it made
plain. Senators give their own views.
and invite the views of others. In that
way the hasty work of the House is
overhauled and improved; and in sew
eral conspicuous cases of late the Sem
ate has earned the gratitude of the
country.
This, of all times. is bad time for
haste. The affairs of the world are
greatly upset. Our own affairs are
more or less involved. We are all hop
ing for the best, but with a feeling
that something untoward may at any
time happen.
For this reason, measures which the
Constitution and the practice have
marked must" should go through.
Others, in pinch, could wait without
serious loss to anybody. Robbing Pc
Uncle Sam to pay Paul the
President-would be poor, and might
be expensive, business. Let us have the
supply bills, with all the debate they
properly provoke, before any time is
allotted to others.

Mr., Taft on the Philippines.

In closing his testimony before the
Senate committee investigating the
Philippine question, former President
Taft said:
Il may seem partisan in this mat
ter, but I am intensely interested In
this subject We have made a great
beginning in our colonial relations, and
tions who protested that we could not
maintain a colonial territory under the
great freedom we extended In the Phil
ippines. 49,.
not be thrown away. We should either
fish or cut bait. We should either get
out of the Philippines entirely or main
tain a strong grip on these people,
aration and education that will fit them
for the exercise of self-government.
We should not allow them to waste
their time in vain political strivfngs
ready for 1t, but all of their energies
should be bent toward preparing them
for their ultimate independence"
This covers the case fully and ad-
mirably. Surely such words from such
a source should count for much. both
with the committee. and. later. with
the full Senate. Mr.. Taft knows the
subject as do few Americans. The best
things we have to show for our occu
pancy of the Philippines were inaugu-
rated by him. He took charge there
when everything was at skies and
sevens, growing out of the recent over
throw of Spanish and the substitution
of American rule. He laid, with pa
thence and friendly calculation, the
foundations of colonial structure
which not even Great Britain. with her
much longer and larger experience. has
ever eclipsed with like material.
r In line with Mr.. Taft's views wee
those of Dean C. Worcester. who tes-
titled before the committee few days
previously. He. too. advised against
the Jones bill. and all that the mea-
sure implies. He thinks the Filipinos
far from qualification for self-govern-
ment, and urges American duty In the
premises in the terms Mr.. Taft does.
Like Mr.. Taft, too. he makes the day
distant when we should even consider
withdrawing from the islands, and
leaving their fate in the hands Of the
natives. And he spoke, as Mr.. Taft
did. from a personal experience of
some years spent in the Philippines in
an official capacity.
These two men are not Of the busi-
ucSS "OfIQ 1ney are not SUBJECT TO
the sneer so often INDUCED In by the
Aguinaldians in this country. They are
not trying to exploit the Filipinos for
gain. They are not promoters of
schemes having for object fleeing the
little brown brother, and rendering
him permanently helpless In the
hands of cruel and selfish capitalists.
Both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Worcester are
Of the student class. They read books,
and apply wide knowledge thus OBJ
tanned to the practical affairs in
which they participate. They live
neither in the clouds nor in the count
ing rooms. They try to sec things
whole, and to deal candidiy with the
world about things of which they
have personal knowledge.
Moreover. as citizens Of this country
they know what self-government is,
and what is required to support it.
And when they tell us that the FIJI
pinos are not now. and will not soon
be, equal to the task, we should pay
great respect to their Judgment.

Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutlonal tres tment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing it's work.

TICK ERADICATION CAMPAIGN
U. of A. Man to South District

The State of Arkansas and the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture are getting ready to undertake a most thorough campaign for cleaning the cattle ticks out of the state. That this can be made a great cattle state if the health of these animals can be maintained, is the opinion of both state and government authorities.
 The Northeast Tick Eradica- tion District has been doing great work with the assistance of Dr. E. A. Wight of the gov ernment bureau, and the re- mainder of the six counties of Arkansas. not in this district. have been made into a tick eradication district under the university board of control, with Dr. R. M. Cow. state vet erinarian. as chairman, assisted by pr. Wight.
 This state work, however, can not be undertaken until next spring. To help get the work started in the extreme northern part of Arkansas, Dean J. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, has, after a conference with Drs. Wight and Gew. arranged to send w. A. Denman, tick eradication specialist of the uni versity and government forces, to conduct a careful campaign of education and actual help in dipping vat buildings into the five counties of the tick eradi- cttion district. Union, Columbia, Nevada, Ouachita and Sevier, and also, to help conduct the work in Lafayette. Miller, Little River and Hampstead counties, making a sort of unofficial dis trict of nine south counties.

prone to let pass unnoticed the, little
everyday incidents at home that are
filed with pathos and which breathe
the spirit of simple self-sacriice.
Here is one worth recording, sweet
and pure and wholesome, tale of
two children:
In Klamath Falls, Oregon, a little
girl, Frieda Schiesel, was very ILL To
save her life some rabbit serum was
needed at once. Newt door to Frieda
lived little Leonard Ford. Playmates
were they. The joy and pride of Leon
ards life were his pet Dummies. He
had raised them and fed them and
cared for them as mother does her
babes. Of course, they were a part,
a very large part, Of Leonard's young
life. But just as manfuHy and with
the same spirit which prompts the
soldier in the trenches to give his all
for duty's sake, the little lad offered
his pets that the much-needed serum
might be had. With quivering lips
and sorrowing heart he watched the
physician STAY them.
The operation was successful,
Ffieda's life was saved. Isn't there
just bit of inspiration to be found in
this simple story amid the tales of
war and bloodshed from abroad?

Seiizes Wheat
n Canada

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 20.-The action
of the Canadian government in COM
Wandering approximately 20,0O0,000
bushels Of wheat under a special war
act Saturday night, which first be-
came known yesterday, continued to
be the chief topic of discussion. Gen.
eral opinion is that there will be no
great fluctuations in the wheat mar
ket as a result, although it is expect
ed that there will be some effect in the
United States market. The plan of
the Canadian grain commission in TAX
ing over all high grade wheat in stor-
age from Fort William on Lake Super
ior to the Atlantic coast is being ex-
ecuted rapidly. It is believed that the
governments object to avoid paying
a high price in the open market has
been achieved.

North Dakota
Leads Whole
United States

The 1915 crops Of North Dakota are
more above the average in yield than
the crops Of any other state in the
union. The figures sent out by the
bureau of crop estimates show that
the North Dakota 1915 yield is 1877 1.3
per cent as compared to the average
yield, or 81 1-3 per cent above the
average. South Dakota comes next
with 1877 Is per cent. The third in
the list is Nebraska with 125 2-5 per
cent. For the United States the per
cent is 107 rs. This is rather a re-.
markable percentage when it is con-
sidered that all crops are included.
The per cent would be higher yet for
North Dakota if it was not for the
corn crop, which pulls it down some.
The 1915 wheat crop for North Da.
kota is placed at 142,782,OO0 bushels,
oats 92,470,000 bushels, barley 42,029,.
