Probable Line-Up

Kelly, of Pennsylvania, a Progress
sive, who formerly was Democratic
member of the House is listed as a
Democratic probability. So are Ran
dali, Prohibitionist, of California, who
voted for Speaker Clark the last time,
and London. of New York, Socialist
sits on the Democratic side now and
has been shown favors by Democratic
leaders. Shall, of Minnesota, Pro-
gressive, the leaders agree, probably
would lean toward a Republican can
didate If convinced of his Progressiv-
ism. He campaigned for the National
Republican ticket during the last cam.
paign, although opposed by the regu-
lar organization in his State. Fuller,
Independent, of Massachusetts, also is
classed as Republican hope.
Martin, of Louisiana, Progressive,
comes from a large sugar district in
Louisiana and has indicated that as
surance of protection of the sugar in
terests will be his first concern in vot-
Ing on the organization. Formerly he
was a Democrat, however, and Demo-
cratic leaders hope to get his vote. Al
he same time Republicans think he
can be convinced that their party is |
he only one which has his sugar in
.erests at heart
Contests in which certificates have
rot been issued are on In the Thirty
second Pennsylvania district. where

opposing the election of Robert Car.
son, Republican. Scully now is re.
ported to have a lead of 1876 votes OF
the recount, but there still are about
1900 votes to be passed upon by the
court. At least twenty seats, 1t is said
will be contested in the House after Il
has been organized.
Should the Republicans seat both Of
their contestants and hold their mem.
bership solid for their candidates, they
would need only two Independent
votes to win the Speakership, while
the Democrats would need five. On
the other hand, should the Democrats
win the contested seats, the Repub-
lican would need four Independent
votes, while the Democrats could win
with three votes.
Democrats Solid For Clark
There is no question about the Dem
ocrats voting solidly for Speaker
Clark, but there are some signs .ol
strife among the Republicans. Repre-
sentative Gardner already has an
nounced his opposition to Representa-
tive Mann Every effort will be made
by leaders of Republicans assured Oh
conference before voting starts.
Representative Gardner, who an
nounced yesterday that he would seek
to obtain a Republican conference to
formulate policies for the future activ-
tiles of the party in the House; did not
visit the Capitol today. Mr.. Mann
was there, however, and tonight he ex-
pressed the view that the Republicans.
would stand united at least in the or
Of the House.
Il have nothing to say about the
matter or the Gardner
episode" he said, except that l will
hope that the President in some way
through Gods Providence may aid in
bringing about peace which shall be
lasting and permanent and provide for
and the removal of the
heavy burden of military and naval
and II l can in the
slightest degree assist to bring about
such a result would rather do that
han to be Speaker.

nm for Prussia and Prussianism is. of
course, utterly untrue. am for Amer
ca first, last and all the time, and do
'ot take sides in the European war.
In Mr.. Gardeners opinion. that is my
,ffense."
Representative Lenroot, of Wiscon-
lin. whom Gardper will support for
Speaker, has no comment to make on |
he situation.

INDEPENDENTS
Hold Power to Name Speaker
Latest Revised Congressional Re-
turns Show Neither Democrats
Nor Republicans Have
Majority.

Washington, December ,26-Revised
figures on returns of the last election
showed definitely that neither Demo-
Gratis nor Republicans will have a ma
jority Of the next House, necessary to
elect a speaker, and that handful OF
Independents will determine which
side will control the organization.
Conceding seats to candidates in
possession of certificates of election
because they are certain to participate
in the organization of the House, the
personal now stands: Republicans,
214; Democrats, 21S; Independent, q;
Progressives, 2; Prohibitionists, l; So
cialists, 1 contested, 2. A majority
is 218, hence should either Democrats
or Republicans win both of the con-
tests, they still would be short a ma
jority.
All of the Independents are MAIN
tanning strict silence regarding their
attitude on the Speakership. but the
Democratic and Republican leaders
are agreed on how most of them will
vote, provided caucuses are held and
solidarity maintained by the two old
parties.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

One week from today, examinations
for the first semester's work will be-
gin. Everybody is "pugging."
The debating tryouts will be held
tomorrow and Thursday. The de-
baters will be given time for five
minute speeches and will be allowed
two minutes for rebuttal. They will
debate on:
"REsOLvED, That the United States
should grant the Philippines their in
dependence as soon as a stable gov
eminent can be established" The
teams will be chosen from those try
ing-out.
Basketball practice has been going
on at a steady pace, and the fellows
are working hard to prepare for the
Wittenburg game, Friday night.
A new celebrety has arrived in our
midst. Mr.. Robert Zindle, popularity
known as handy" has entered the
school, as Sophmore. Because of
his vocal ability he will be in much
demand at debating and lyceum pro-
grams.
The orders for the class rings and
pins for the Seniors were sent in yes
terday. The jewelry will probably
arrive within a week or two, for the
proud, Tor shall we say triumphant p
Seniors to bedeck themselves with.
Last Friday the pupils were re-
quested, invited, urged and command
ed to make out their programs for
next semester. Undoubtedly most of
them did so, although there were
probably a few who had not yet decid
ed upon all the subjects they wish to
take.
Last Friday, all who wished to try
out for the Oratorial or Declamatory
contests, were asked to signify their
desire to Miss Nickels, the expression
teacher. Quite a number did so. AS
usual the Sophmore, Junior and Sen.
ior classes will each elect one orator
and one declamer to represent their
class. The faculty will then choose
two from each of the aforementioned
classes, making total of nine persons
in each contest, or three from each
class. 1t is expected that the COM
potion for the honor of representing
the school in these contests will be
very keen.
The high school basket ball team
defeated the Alumni basket ball team

Undue Bible Character.

One of the few men in the Bible
who have nothing recorded against
them is Joseph of Arimathea. Every
one Of the evangelists has a good word
to say for Joseph. One says he was
an honorable counselor" another that
he was a just man." another that he
was "a rich man." another that he was
a secret disciple" Only one of the
evangelists speaks of the birth OF
Christ. but all four of them erect a
monument to Joseph Of Arimathea
When he became a disciple we are not
told. DR.. Andrew Bonar OF Scotland
says he can just imagine that Nico
demus may have been moved by 10
Seph of Arimathea to believe in Christ
At all events. Nicodemus didn't come
out very boldly himself. He didn't get
his discipleship out very clear. They
were both members of the sanhedrln,
but it is evident that none knew that
Joseph was a secret disciple until a
certain night.-Christian Herald.

popular favorite in London over eighty
years ago, claimed TO be able to swal-
low arsenic and other pOisOns with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
arsenic and OXalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidOte after
ward which was supposed to neutralize
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
he would take a raw leg of lamb into
an oven heated to 900 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked.

Can You Go Straight

The above question is not intended
to be personal. We are quite sure that
you are a good, steady going citizen;
but, all the same, we are equally sure
that you cannot walk straight without
the help of your eyes. Naturally your
tendency is to walk in a circle, and
you would do this If your eyes were
not constantly correcting the tendency.
You may easily test this. Place two
stakes in your garden about eight feet
apart, take up a position some sixty
feet away, get some one to blindfold
you and then try TO walk between the
two stakes You will find that you
are going in a circle.
Why? The explanation is very sim
pie. You walk faster with one foot
than with the other. Everybody does
One leg always takes a longer stride,
with the result that you naturally
walk more to one side than the other

tralian bush have marked the trees
