FEARFUL CLOUD.

A dark and heavy cloud hangs on the
horizon of our national existence,
peace and prosperity-with the inn
bending railroad strike about to be-
come a reality.
Somewhere, somehow, the American
people have held implicit confidence in
the ability of President Woodrow Viii
son to bring the matter to a settlement
without a strike. But, it seems that
even he has failed.
When the situation was first dis
cussed in these columns, we made plain
our fears of anarchy and bloodshed.
That condition will march hand in
hand with necessity and want
The great government of the United
States is powerful and its heavy wheels
of progress must move to keep the
people of this great land provided with
the necessities of life.
The people of this country look to-
wards the White House. Their conf
dence has never yet been shaken, and
we do not think that it will in this in
stance.
We want trains to move. If it takes
Uncle Sam to move the trains-thea
let the trains run.

THE OLD RECORD.

The Times-Reeorder is constant
recipient of the Congressional Record
but no one can be an intelligent
reader. 1t is packed through all its
vcluminous pages with varied discuss
lens an as many different questions
Congress talks a great deal, and what
it not said is published in extension
CT remarks"
The Dawson News has the following
interesting editorial on the subject.
The pages of the esteemed Congress,
ional Record are crowded these days
with outbursts of partisan oratory,
brought on by the fact that this is
presidential year and that one promin-
ent citizen of the United States is
striving with might and main to dis
place another prominent citizen as the
nations chief executive. Instances IL
Illustrative of this are being more ami
more familiar. In the senate only d
few days ago when the shipping bill
came before that reputedly august body
the senator's relegated it to a tempo
rary position of innocuous desuetude
While they engaged in an all-day
wrangle as to the alleged merits and
dement's of Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Hughes Republicans vehemently air
ed their personal views of the admin
istration, and democrats, with equal
vehemence, defended the existing re-
CINE and excoriated it's detractors.
If The News has the correct ideas as
to the duties of United States senator's
this does not constitute a proper pro
cedure. There is a time and place
for all things, according to an ancient
axiom, and there is unquestionably a
time and genial surrounding for pol
itical debate; but the place is not the
HOOT Vi Ii1G SSAdI6 anu LllC llll1S 40 hOe
that which is being paid for by the
country's electors and taxpayers. The
honorable senators have certain pre-
scribed Duties to perform. They are
salaried men, neither more nor less,
whose services are arranged for by
their respective constituents at so
much per day, and those constituencies
have a right to expect that the salaries
not being earned Assuredly they are
not being earned when the gentleman
from this state or the gentleman from
that state arises in his place to SOL
emily decant on matters affecting the
personal ambition of Mr.. Wilson or
Mr.. Hughes, the while everyone forgets
the real business before the senate.
Get down to business first, and ac-
cord it the attention it deserves. Then,
but not in the Congressional Record, !
we may play politics to our hearts
content.

| The attempt at a double failed, however,
| for H. McCuen failed to catch R. Rupert S
throw. Mann slammed one at Rupert,
who failed to handle it, McHugo had
equally as good luck with rap to Cole.
This filed the bases. 0ssola, the next
man up, knocked fly to left field and
Loranger passed up chance to get home
on it. Ricciarelli was up next and flied
to Nash who, after hard run, allowed
the ball to bound out of his hands. Lo-
ranger and Mann scored. Thompson drew
a pass but Johnston was out on a ny.
In the seventh the visitors secured the
three scores which gave them the game.
Nash was bit by pitched ball. Fay got
hit, H. McCuen was out on three
strikes, Cole batted a grounder to Thomp-

Notes on the Game.

The most conspicuous thing about the
game was the almost total absence OF
Spaulding supporters. Barely three dol
lars was taken at the gate and much OF
this came from small but loyal crowd
of Burlington fans. An enthusiastic
crowd of fans might easily have changed
such game into victory for the home
team.
Fleury pulled off nice one handed
catch Of McHugo's fly in the second in
ming Nevertheless it was noticeable
that he used both hands on the next
chance he had.
Johnston made fine catch in the third
of a fly which would have hit the fence
IT, let alone. Thompson also pulled down
difficult foul in the same inning.
Johnston deserved to hold the fly in
the third, which struck his hands after
desperate attempt to reach it. The field
er Owed after it in big league style.
Mccarthy and Loranger both missed
chances TO score from third on sacrifice
flies. Their coaches should have held
them on the base until the fly was
caught.
The two Ruperts made nice double
play in the eighth. catching Geals off
second on Ricciarelli's fly.

But Spaulding's Were Worse
and Burlington High
Won, 9 to z
YOUNGSTERS ALSO
SLUGGED THE BALL
Two Home Runs by H. Ru-
pert Were the Feature
Of the Game

Spaulding high school went down to
defeat before the Burlington high school
baseball team yesterday afternoon on
Lincoln campus by the score of to Z.
Costly errors were responsible for much
of the scoring though the hits were fairly
numerous on both sides. H. Rupert of
Burlington found the cemetery a good
place in which to lay away the ball for
extra bases but the Spaulding hitters
seemed to favor the swamp in left field.
Burlington started the scoring in the
second inning when Nichols hit two men
and an error by Geals allowed Flint to
score. In the second half of the inning
Spaulding came back with two doubles
and a single, which, with a series of err
rors on the part of their opponents net
ted them three runs, 0ssola and Geals
got the extra-has hits and Nichols con
tributed the single. Nichols, Geals and
Loranger each came home for score.
The third inning Melted the visitors a
total of two runs and the home team Sc
cured one The fourth inning was all
the Burlington teams, who hit safely
three times, one of which was home
run over the right field fence by H. Ru-
pert. Nash and Fay each got single. |
In the fifth neither side scored, though |
each team got hit. The sixth resulted |
in score for Burlington on muffed fly
to left field and two scores for the
Spaulding aggregation. An error by the
Burlington first baseman left Geals on
first. Loranger batted grounder TO
short and Geals was caught on second.

Senate Approves Plan for
a Rural Credit
System
ONLY FIVE VOTES
AGAINST IT
One of These Was by Sena-
tor Lodge of Massa-
chusetts

Washington, d. c., May 6.The Hollis
farm loan bill, embodying the admins
tration plan for establishing a system OF
rural credits has passed the Senate by a
vote of SIS to s. Senators Brandegee,
Lodge, Oliver, Page and Wadsworth, all
Republicans, voted against the measure.
The bill, after almost two weeks oil
debate, passed the Senate virtually as
reported by the banking committee. An
amendment by Senator Smoot reducing
the salaries of the farm loan board from
$40, goo to 81 500, which was adopted by
vote OF 20 to % in the committee OF
the whole, was reconsidered when the
bill reached the Senate and was defeated
20 to 81, although eight Democratic sen
ators voted with the Republicans for
the reduction. somewhat similar bill
has been reported by the House banking
committee and, it is said, will be brought
up for consideration in the House soon.
Like the Senate measure, it would create
a chain OF farm loan banks, but 1t differs
in means of operation.
The Senate bill provides for non
partisan farm loan board TO consist OF
the secretary of the treasury and foar
others, having general control of a farm
loan system of twelve or more land
banks and of farm loan associations
through which loans actually would be
made.
Each land bank would have capital
stock of at least 100000 to be subscribed /
by the government if not taken by the
public. The farm loan associations

Success

Washington, D. c., May 6.-Confront
ing an enormous mass of unfinished OF
untouched legislation, Democratic lead
ers yesterday sought in vain for means

Democratic House leaders, Speaker
Champ Clark and Floor Leader kitchin,
put into operation "steam roller" plan
perfected at the instance of President
Wilson and calculated to conclude the
session before the end of July. But the
leaders despaired of accomplishing the
result sought by the administration and
the most optimistic House members
named September as the earliest posi-
BILE date for adjournment.
Practically all of the ambitious legis

practically all of the routine appropria-

Senate still has before it the good roads

conservation bills, the administration

fight over the confirmation OF Louis ,.

or more farmers who would obtain a
charter from their district land bank. A
farmer desiring TO become borrower
would be required 10 take stock in the
loan association equal to s per cent OF
his loan; the association in turn would
take an equal amount of stock in the
land bank, which would appraise the Sc.
curity offered and make the loan through
the association. On mortgages amount
ing to $4,000 bank might issue like
amount OF farm loan bonds, which would
be secured by all twelve land banks.
All profits would go TO the loan asso-
Citations in dividends and thus TO the
borrowers who are shareholders in them.
Loans might be on as long terms as
thirty-siS years and on the amortiza-
tion plan, so that with each interest pay
ment the farmer could pay small
amount on his principal. Loans would
be limited to first mortgages and could
not exceed so per cent of the appraised
value of the land.
The principal fight on the bill was di.
rected at the sections exempting the
banks and their mortgages from taxa
ton and permitting employees to be
chosen without regard to the civil serv-
ce. Both were defeated by party votes.
Debate lasted more than week on an |
amendment by Senator Cummins to !
