wilson LEGISLATION
FADES IN CONGRESS
Enactment of Only Revenue
and Appropriation Bills
Seems Certain
ONLY II MORE
WORKING DAYS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-With the
end of Congress only two weeks away
the prospect of the enactment OF any
legislation other than the revenue
measure and the appropriation bills
is rapidly fading. Even the meagre
program proposed by the President in
his opening message is not to be car
ried out.
Makeshift railroad legislation, quite
unlike that which the President in
sisted upon being enacted. is pend
ing in both Houses, but the chance
that it will become law before March
4, is remote. The House Of Represen-
tatives, dominated by labor, is not
likely to take kindly to Judge Adam
sons law unless it is expressly back
ed by the President. Senator New
lands is also trying to find a gap in
the Senate for consideration of the
railroad bills, but his efforts are with
out success.
Much Of the routine labor allotted
to Congress is yet to be done. The
Senate must dispose OF the two pre-
paredness measures the army and
navy appropriation bills. Both Of these
call for discussion. The sundry civil
and deficiency bills have not yet
passed the House. Appropriation bills
can be passed in an incredibly brief
time II Congress is IN the mood Tor
getting away, but at present il does
not appear to be in such mood and
there is quite enough OF routine tasks
remaining to be done to occupy its at
tention during the remaining twelve
working days.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman OF
the Senate military affairs committee,
under the circumstances has little
hope OF forcing the passage OF the
compulsory military training bill as
an independent measure or even OF
having il considered. He will prob
ably offer il as a rider to the army
appropriation bill. but it can be re-
iected on a point Of order. as it Is
general legislation.
The revenue bill will be taken up
by the Senate today and It Will cause
debate. The naval appropriation bill
is virtually completed for submission
to the Senate The army, sundry
civil and deficiency bills are yet to be
acted upon. go,
The Porto Rican citizenship bill
has gone by the boards. There is so
much opposition TO the so-called es-
pionage bills. which were reported
since the German situation became
momentous. that it is doubtful that
they can be passed. and even the
Webb bill authorizing foreign selling
combinations has met with so many
objections that this measure, TO
gether with the remainder Of tho
Presidents program, will be shuihed
into the discard.
With much before the Senate to be
done the international situation
might at any moment raise a storm
Of debate. Senator La Toilette threat
ems to deliver speech on the cues
ton Of arming merchant vessels and
a request by the President for author.
ity to use force IN the protection OF
American rights will still further block
the way for even routine legislation
Iti seems probable. therefore that
Congress will bring its labors TO an
end without having accomplished
anything more than the passage OF
the appropriation bills and the reve-
nue. bill

CHURCH is DEDICATED
Appropriate Ceremonies for New
$4,000 Evangelical Church Here.

] The new $4,000 building of the
First Church of the Evangelical asso-
citation at Seventh and Monroe streets
was dedicated Sunday with appropri-
ate ceremonies. When the dedication
services began there was a debt of
$4,000 hanging over the congregation
but that was wiped out by voluntary
contribution before the services closed
The dedicatory sermon was deliv-
cred by Bishop s. c. Breyfogle and
Governor Capper also delivered an ad-
dress. Bishop Breyfogle declared that
the world war has emphasized the
older virtues and that materialism,
which was on the increase, will be de-
throned. Governor Cappec paid trib-
ute to the work of the churches in
Kansas and to their part in bringing
about prohibition which he pointed
out as one of the blessings of the
state.
Rev. B. H. Hobbs is pastor of the
church and will occupy d parsonage
provided by the church organization.
The new church building will sea. 500
persons. The new church building
was made necessary by the fact that
the membership has Increased by
practically one hundred per cent in
the last five years. The services Sun
day were the final ceremony of dedi-
catory services which began last
Thursday Communion services were
held Saturday night.

to Capt Mcdowell. the man who pre-
pares Ginseng Bitters. He told me
that it would cure me. So I got bot
tie of it, and after taking it, learned
that what he told me was true. 1 can
now eat IN a satisfactory manner with
out being afraid that gas will form on
MY stomach. 1 feel secure that / will
not have indigestion.
Hotel clerks are not in the habit
of giving testimonials, but Ginseng

that 1 am willing to let the public
know about it,"
