1t Is stated that representative
Ralney, godfather TO the admin
lstratlOn revenue bill, was very
grouchy over the course of that
measure in the House. Not only
was he greatly chagrined that sew
eral members of his party united
with the republicans and made
several amendments to the bill,
but 1T is said that one Of the things
that aroused his ire was the failure
OF the members of his party to
stay with him when he tried to get
IA yea and nay vote on one OF these
amendments, He demanded the
aye and noes, but not sufficient
number of the democrats would
rise to secure them, as required by
the rules.

RattIeSnakc Pete
Narrow Escape

Old Rattlesnake" Pete, was in
the city Tuesday transacting bust
ness and also visited the News
office and during the pleasant visit
told Of his thrilling experience that
might have resulted in a wa'ery
grave in the treacherous mud iy old
Missouri.
On Sunday afternoon, July 9th,
Louie BenOist, A. G. Clark and
Pete decided to cross the river over
to LcBeau where the latter was
to play the bones" for the boys
and all have a rafting good time
in the afternoon.
Benoist and Clark were, ia one
boat and Pete in anotLer and when
about half way across he noticed
he was getting wet about the feet
and on investigation found that a
StHp or the Oakum caulklng had
come out and the water was eQming
in quite rapidly.
BY the time AIa associates could
get to h;s assistance to keep the
.laky boat ahOat, Pete waG about
ready to make his peace with his
Maker as there was every indica-
ton that the remains Of the old
timer would be found floating down
the Old Missouri on the way to the
Gulf of Mexico If he hadn't re-
ceived assistants at the time he did.
The three Of them managed to
save the boat, and Pete, and all
landed ut LeBeau and had the
pleasant time. they were after.

Another example of watchful
waiting and the slOwness and un-
buslnesslike methods OF the pres
ent administration, has been ex-
hlblted in the paying of the sol
dlers who have been called into
service from the militia Of the var.
lOus states. AS one republican
member said: The failure OF
the administration to pay the sol
dlers promptly is just another eX
ample of the slip shod way the ad
mlnlstration does things. Man.
OF these men, or rather most o.
them, left jobs with days pay ant
they should have had their none,
promptly. If we got into real diff
ficulties just imagine what wOult
happen under the leadership of tn,
crowd that is at present at tn
helm in this country.

Takes Mercury
Tablets by Mistake

Miss Francise Levinskie of Fort
Ripple, Mlnn., made an almost
fatal error by taking a dose of
bichlOride of mercury tablets. in
stead of headache tablets, early
Monday morning, and, is now hOv.
ering between life and death at the
Milwaukee hospital.
On arising in the morning, she
was not feeling we'll and took some
tablets from box on the bureau
supposing them to be headache
tablets. and returned to bed
1t was three hours later before
she became so ill that the necessity
of calling a physician became ap-
parent. The physician quickly
realized what had happened and
without moments delay rushed
her to the hospital, where evsry
effort was made to save her life
that was possible.
Her parents were notified by tel.
egram and her father arrived last
night.
Judging from street talk the
young lady is about the same.
However, on phoning to the hos.
pital this a. IN. for an authOritve
statement at to the young lady's
condition, the hospital corps did
not seem to have the slightest idea
whether she would recover or not.
"A patient effort was made to get
the information, for publication,
and the way they hemed and haw-
ed ore would be inclined to believe
they did d'nt know for sure whether
the young lady was in the hospital
or out playing tennis.

Wilson reached his prime as
pedagOgue. He is now trying to
use his pedagogic back ground as
a means of solving great admins
tratlve problems. This accounts
for the volume of words and con.
spicuous absence of deeds. He
has passed the plastic stage and is
now living in the epoch where the
clay is no longer susceptible to
new mOlds, the mOlds demanded
by word advancing midst great
complexities.

HEARD AT THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
PRESIDENTIAL INTR0SPECTION

Senator Gallinger, the Republi-
can floor leader, dropped a bomb
in the ranks of the Democrats in
congress. when he let it be known
that the minority did not propose
to be responsible for allure of leg
lslatlon to pass in the present ses-
sion. An attempt was made by
administration senators and mem.
bers to charge the Republicans
with hlibustering and thus try to
make them responsible for the fail.
ure to. pass the immigration bill,
the child labor bill, and the amen
dment to the employers liability
act. The senator put the respon-
slbility where il belongs. H. stat.
ed there would be no attempt at
fillhusterlng. The gossip OF the
Capitol is that certain influential
Democrat senators from the south
do not want the child labor bill
rapsed and that they will bitterly
oppose it, II is generally under
stood that the president wants to
sldestep the immigration bill and
was even opposed to its being
taken up at this session,

Thousands of the Elks who at
tended the great convention in
Baltimore paid "a visit to Washing
ton and the Capitol during their
weeks trip. The corridors, gal
lerles and the estaurants OF both
the House and the Senate were
thronged with these visitors.
Judging by their talk, the senti.
aaent OF most Of the states they re-
presented is tavOrOble to the can
dldacies Of Hughes and Fairbanks.
Hundreds of them predicted Rep
ubllcan success at the coming elec
tiOns.

a bird. In the debate on the dem
Ocratic omnibus revenue bill the
other day, Cox scared up through
the Capitol dome and into the blue
empyrean chanting the following
paean of praise for the Underwood
tariff law: Every man and wO-
man in the United States who
wants to labor has job with the
best wages ever paid, with full
dinner pals, working shorter
hours, in better sanitary cOndit-
| ions than were eyer known in the
history of the American govern
ment under the highest protective
tariff ever passed by congress. 1"
Cox has not heard of the European
| war.
About that time passing aero.
Fplane must have torn out Cox S
tail feathers, and, deprived of his
! steering gear, he sang the follow.
fling dirge l recently observed
in the press of The passing away
of prominent lady in New York,
leaving fortune estimated from
/ $50. 900, 600 to 800, 100000, and

} Small wonder that the American
people are quite incapable of keep
ing up with the vagarious mental
! tiles of democratic leaders.
With each succeeding utterance
of president Wilson we gather ad.
ded evidence that he recognizes
the need Of further demonstrating
red blooded Americanism which
his public record does not sustain.
Mr.. Wilson is given to intro spec.
tion. He searchs his mental pro-
! cesses and his record day by day
and compares himself to the ideal
SO dear to the dreamer Finding
himself far short of the ideal, then
Mr.. Wilson proceeds to give utter
ance to pretty words to fill up the
gaps, to cover the blOtchs, and
conceal shortcomings.
He is not yet certain that nation
al defense is genuine need. He
is not yet mt heart divorced from
the Bryan school of thought, there
fore he finds difficulty in muster
ing a real enthusiasm for warships
and guns. He argues with him
self, After all should we pre-.
pare!"
AS politician he can not mis-.
take the fact that majority of
the people Of the country are for
adequate national defence. AS a
politician therefore he is for it,
but not without apologizing to
himself and to his pacifist friends
by defining over and over again
the difference between Preparedness
for defence and militarism.
| President Wilson made speech
some weeks ago, in which he charg-
ed that republicans are not for
ward looking men, thus displaying
this very trick of introspection.
He was looking back at himself,
not looking forward, In shallow
fashion, he was charging to the
opposition the very fault he knew
to be his own.
| When a man is given to intro
spection of the degree which the
president suffers, his day OF con-
structive, progressive thought and
progressive thought and deed has
passed. No longer has he the ca.
pacity to deal with an onward
moving world. He is like the tree
