WASHINGTON, d. c., April o.
In the course of the debate on the
resolution, Senator La Toilette said:
"German-Americans are now being
'dogged by secret service men.
He denied that any one government
is responsible for the war, saying
il was caused by European secret
diplomacy, and citing the Anglo
Morocco secret treaty as the most
reprehensible. dishonest and periur-
ed of records.
England first began the ruth
less naval warfare he charged, by
repudiating the declaration of Lon
don"
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
interrupted to suggest that England
did not ratify the declaration. Sen
ator La Toilette replied that British
representatives signed 1t and Sena-
tor stone said England had not act
ually rejected it,
at has pleased those who have
been conducting this campaign

tumble of issues" continued Sen
ator La Toilette, until now 1t is i'm
possible to get an intelligent ans
wer regarding the real issues. They
saw Americans are being killed by
German submarines. We have not
a leg to stand on in support of this
war declaration"

Senators who cast the negative
votes we're Gronna, of North Dako-
ia; La Toilette, of Wisconsin; Nor
ris, of Nebraska; Lane, of oregon;
Stone, of Missouri, and Vardaman,
of Mississippi.
The great crowd was awed by the
solemnity of the occasion and So
bered by the speeches they had
heard.
After the vote was announced the
senate remained in session only a
few minutes. The galleries began
to empty at once and the senators
themselves, tired out by the long
day, left quickly.
The senate adjourned until noon
Friday to await action by the house,
All six of the senators who voted
against the resolution were members
of the group of twelve which de
feated the armed neutrality bill at
the last session There was no at
tempt to filibuster this time, how
ever. and most of the 19 hours Of

Kenyon and Kirby voted for the res
luton. Senators OGorman, Clapp
and Works, the remaining three, re
tired to private life at the end OF

committee, says the state of war
thrust upon the United States by
Germany is formally declared and
directs the president to employ the
entire military and naval forces and
the resources of the government to
carry on war and bring it to sue
cessfui termination.
Action in the senate came just
after IL o'clock at the close of de-
bate that had lasted continuously
since 10 o'clock in the morning.
Senator McCumbers substitute to
declare the existence of a state of
war on the sinking of another Amer
lean ship by Germany was defeated

Representative Britten, of Illinois,
Republican, gave notice that he
would oppose the resolution in the
house and would offer an amend
lment to prohibit the use of American
troops abroad unless directed by
Congress.

IF They Could Keep Ii Up.

There have been big men in Wall
street who did all the work them.
selves, who attended to every minute
item. who were from Missouri in re-
gard to each point in any proposition
put up to them. One of these marvels
was among the very greatest fnan-
ciers the country ever had. But he
didn't last long, and there have been
few others like him. If a man with
the first order of brains and ability
could only keep it up there is nothing
to prevent his owning the United
States. If e. FL. Hartman could have
kept on fifteen or twenty years longer
at, the pace he was going he would
have gobbled up all that was worth
taking. He had about all the rail-
roads in sight, and he was just getting
a strangle hold OF the big banks. He
conquered every square foot of terri
tory as he went along. There was no
force on earth to stop him except pre-
mature death, and now he is almost
forgotten.-A. w. Atwood in Saturday
Evening Post.

ldoIatry as Il Is.

After months spent in idolatrous lands
have been unable to see much real
worship in heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists in
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib of departed little
one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo, the
god of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes Of wood
en- god and then rub his own In the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his afrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-
fed, as we'll attended and as helpful as
our own. In Hakodate | attended a
Buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less of idolatry and more Of morals
than some ceremonials In our cruel
form chapels.- Christian Herald.

Miss Esther Enger and Louis N.
Ladd went to Rockford last Saturday
where they were united in marriage.
Immediately after the ceremony the
young couple went to Highland Park,
ILL.,, where they visited at the home OF
the brides sister, Mrs. Roy thinner,
until Sunday evening when they re-
turned here. The groom is the only
son of Erick Laid of Dunkirk and the
bride is the daughter of Mrs. Ole En-

The action against the Pugh Stores
company nowise affects the Depart
ment Co. of this city, which, after all,
is no part of the Chicago concern. The
transaction last fall to merge the local
firm with the Pugh Stores company
was in the form of a contract, and as
the provisions of the contract were not
fulfilled by the Pugh people, the De-
partment Co. some time ago served
notice that it receded from the agree
ment. The Department Co. therefore
is conducting its business as OF old.
A unique escape from serious injury,
if not almost certain death, was exper-
fenced last week by Chris Bjerklund, a
young man residing about four miles
east of town. He was engaged in
shingling a high barn on the farm OF
Osmond Drotning, near the west
churches, in the forenoon, and the rain
had made the shingles so slippery that
he slipped and slid from the roof which
was about 80 feet above the ground.
Fortunately for him, the steel cable of
the litter carrier intercepted his fall,
catching him on the inside of the left
leg. He was whirled around the cable,
and then fell on his back to the ground,
stunned, but otherwise not injured ex-
cept for cut on his leg inflicted by the
cable.

Bees and Fruit.

An agricultural society Of Florence,
Italy, has recently carried out thor.
ough investigation Of the alleged in.
jury Of fruit by bees and has COM
pletely exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin of the
fruit, and it is only incidentally that
they suck the juices of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other in
sects. Instead Of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service of effecting the
cross pollination Of flowers, and hence
the setting of fruit as well as the de-
struction Of damaged fruits Especially
grapes) by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals
The orchards and vineyards frequented
by bees give the most constant crops

Fhe Arabic Language.

Though the Arsts pumber less than
the population Of london, their Ian
guage is one Of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world, for 1t is
the language Of the Koran. Seventy
millions Of people In Asia and north
Africa speak some form Of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something Of the language
from the Koran, which in the original
is text book in the day schools of the
Mohammedans from Turkey to Afgha-
nistan and New Guinea. Nor is Arabic
unworthy of this extensive use. Re
nan, after expressing his surprise that
such language should spring from
the desert regions OF Arabia and reach
perfection In nomadic camps, declares
that it surpasses all its sister Semitic
languages In richness of vocabulary,
delicacy Of expression and the logic Of
its grammatical construction London

pit of my stomach. Our druggist adj
