mainder, S2,1SO,0O0,00O, represented
imports. Expectations of explosives.
iron and steel, meats. automobiles and
chemicals sent to the belligerents in
Europe increased amazingly in the last
year. Other articles also showed in
creases although because of the Ger

ton dropped considerably from the to-
tai of 1914 before the war began.

A New National Issue

The next national issue, accord
ing to recent developments Of the
news, is not to preparedness, inter-
vention or the busting of the gaso-
line trust. 1t is gum racks.
What a gum rack might look like
or what may be the plan of its me-
chanical operation wecan only guess.
Anyhow the purpose of the thing,
as proposed by J. W. Crabtree,
president of the normal school OF
River Falls, Wis, is to keep cuds OF
gum hitched and standing in the
hall while little Johnny and little
Mary take respite from much chew
ing in the mastication of the three
Rs.
The case of the gum rack is sup
portable on grounds economic and
grounds sanitary. 1t tends to pre-
vent the loss Of cuds which might be
thrown away or misplaced but for a
correct Judgment. 1t obviates the
necessity of sticking chews to desks
and various unofficial places where
they may gather germs or exchange
ownership. On the other hand the
gum rack, while sparing a penny's
worth now and then from prema-
ture discard. would undoubtedly
stimulate the gum business and re-
mind those who hadn't chews to
catch up with fashion. But most
discouraging Of all is the possibility
of infringement of chewing rights
through the difficulty Of positively
identifying cuds.
These are only few of the argu-
ments pro and con which promise to
stir the nation to its very founda-
tons, displacing the controversies
over war, women and Shakespeare.
But we have been warned. Lack OF
preparedness will incur its own just
punishment.-St Paul Dispatch.

Senators Receive

CONTINUED from page i


by the Houses on the same bill, three
conferences are usually appointed by
each House and if a compromise can
be reached, a separate report is
made back to the respective Houses.
If adopted by both Houses that COM
promise measure becomes the bill as
passed.
Minority Leader Mann desired to
force record vote on the size of the
army with two proposed amend
ments, and under the House rules
this is brought about by motion to
recommit the bill back to the com
mittee. One amendment related to
the size Of the army and the other
sought to prevent SIS, 100000 ques-
tionable nitrate plant proposal con-
tanned in the Chamberlain Senate
bill. Speaker Clark observed the
rule and the right of the minority to
make the motion but instead Of rec
ognizing any republican he singled
out Representative London, the only
Socialist member, and remarking
that he was a minority party all by
himself, permitted him to make the
motion. London moved without
amendment to recommit and on this
motion which failed to permit a
record vote on the size Of the army
or nitrate propositions, both demo-
Gratis and republicans voted some $50
strong against London, who stood
alone.
A record vote on the amendments
was prevented and bare minority
of republicans were unable to ex-
press their views; however, it is
doubtful if the speaker will again ig-
more the parliamentary right Of the
republicans, because the injustice
was so apparent and the speaker is
ordinarily exceptionally fair. Strict
ly speaking, London is a minority of
one, and as he is the only socialist
member in the House he is able to
cast the entire vote Of the party ev-
cry time he votes.
Before the bill went to conference,
Chairman Hay, one of the conferees,
aroused enthusiasm by declaring he
would not agree to the Senate S15,-
100000 nitrate proposal because the
House had acted adversely on the
other $24,O00,000 nitrate proposal
when the bill was first before the
House. Several weeks ago I pre-
dicted the regular army would be
agreed to at from 100000 to 1906
men. 1t is dangerous to predict but
that seems to be the judgment of
those who assume to know.
