When the naval bill passed the house
members refused TO vote for the larger

the bin came back they swallowed

The Strike In Politics.
The Republicans feared that Presi-

was brought TO the attention of one OF

the Democratic side.

The trouble about the tariff Is that

Safety In Submarines.
The biggest scientific job connected
with the navy Mt the present time is
the safety OF submarines. 1t is known
that If MANY accidents happen 70 the

sending men down IN boats without
adequate protection. There is a for

WASHINGTON, Jan. january

Of palpitatlng squad OF patriots
who carry card in the Democratic
party and habitate In West Virginia.

fastening to relieve the suspense
OF the patient plodder Of this print,
the reason for this intensive interest

because that is the date on which
former governor and present Judge
George Wesley Atkinson can retire

something to worry over, but nobody
who knows Yves Atkinson-and
who in West Virginia does mott
catalogues him among them.
Judge Atkinson doesn't have TO
retire on January II, and there Is
scant Likelihood that he will retire
on that date. But he Is expected 10
retire some time after, maybe not Till
next month, or for several months TO
come, and perhaps not for year. He

to him, and most likely to be much
more SO, should he ignore the second
term plank in the Baltimore plat
form and stand as u candidate again.
A judgeship on the court in ques-
ton Is most desirable berth. 1t pays
$4,000 year, and carries with 1t
high judicial and social honors in the
capital, and is altogether most in
fuential. 1t Is life appointment
and after certain number Of years
Of service, and the judge having ar
rived at certain age, he may re-
tire and his salary goes on until he
is gathered to the bosom Of Abraham.
Senator Chiffon could take the job
without lowering his dignity.
1t is not just clear why this place
that Judge Atkinson is expected to
relinquish Is expected by West Vir-
ginia Democrats to go to one Of their
number. But the fact Is they look
upon the job as belonging to the
state. Unless it has been promised
by President Wilson to West Vir-
ginia, which hardly seems likely up
to this tine. that state has no more
reason particularly to regard 1t as
its property than any other state.
Judge Atkinson is the only West
Virginian who has ever been a men,
Der Of this court, and it has been in
existence for great many years.
Nevertheless, that's the way the
Mountain state unterrified look at IT..
Visiting the court OF claims this
morning, there was Judge Atkinson
in his robe and the mill was grinding
as usual.

plans to retire, however. and enjoy
deserved rest and leisure. he has
himself told his friends, time and
again And should he change his
mind about 1t, which he also has a
perfect. right to do, 1t will almost
break the hearts Of some Democratic
statesmen who are likewise lawyers,
and would-be judges, whose hearts
are now beading excitedly with high
and rose tinted hope. But that is
still another thing that Judge Atkln-
son will not worry over, either,
On the hypothesis that Judge At

that he proposed doing, namely. re-

time ago that, so Ear as Senator Chill

to Clyde B. Johnson, known to fame
as the roet-lawyer, of Charleston,
and as the "Kipling Of Kanawha.
But there is a much later rumor
than that going the rounds. now that
January II flutters nigh, and that Is
that Senator Chiffon may take the
Job himself. providing the president
will give it to him and, providing
further, that Judge Atkinson retires
on schedule or within a reasonable
distance behind schedule. Some OF
the politicians here figure that Pres.

Furthermore, 1t gave entire satisfac-

that he understands both sides Of it,.
and is Just and fair, for he has been
tried out along those lines many
times heretofore. And 1t was the
committee ambition he had, because
he knew what the Job was and felt he
could be OF real service there.

A Northwestern Farm Play.

"A Farm Home Scene in Iceland
Thirty Years Ago" was staged by
twenty young men and women of Ice
landic descent whose homes are in
the country districts of North Dakota.
The tableau was very effective. The
scene represented an interior sitting
room of an Icelandic home. The walls
were whitewashed; In the rear of the
room was fireplace; the old grand
father was seated in an armchair near
the fireplace reading a story In the
Icelandic language. About the room
were several young ladies dressed in
native costumes, busily engaged in
spinning yarn and knitting, a favorite
pastime of an Icelandic home. On q
chair at the right was young man
with violin playing selections from
an Icelandic composer. Through the
small window rays of light were
thrown, representing the Midnight
Sun and the Northern Lights. Just
before the curtain fell, twenty young
people, all Icelanders, joined in sing
ing their national song, which has the
same tune as America" The effect
of the tableau was far-reaching. The
two hundred people who saw 1t will

vailed upon to bring a duplicate of the

so that some Of our real riders may
have chance to see this wonderful
car.
When the railroad situation looked
as If 1t might tie up every road in the
country, Mr.. Vogler said:
I'VE can move troops fast enough
with the Marmon 81 to stop anything
and one man proved 1t beyond a
doubt"
s. B. Stevens arrived at San Fran
cisco just days, 1917 hours after the
car had left Columbus Circle, New

This completed the most remark
able and fastest journey ever made

car--the average rate of speed being
almost equal to the schedule of the
