Owen Never Gives Up.

1t is characteristic of Senator owen
Of Oklahoma that he never surrenders,
never gives up a proposition or any
thing that he advocates. Ever since
he has been in the senate he has in
troduced and pushed with vigor a
measure to create a department Of
health. There has not been any par
ticular desire for such a department,
and 1t has always been easy to defeat
the bill because there was no cloture
in the senate. owen was one of the
most persistent advocates of cloture
because he wanted that bill passed.
He may be able to put 1t through some
time, as the opposition is not strong
or active.

During the consideration Of the de
ticiency bin Congressman Austin of
Tennessee made an effort to find out
how much the expedition to Vera Cruz
and the other movements on the Mex
lean border cost the government. This
occasioned a great Zeal of airy persi-
tlage between Minority Leader Mann
and Chairman Fitzgerald and finally
brought this statement from Uncle Joe
Cannon:
Il fancy that il could not be told
accurately without much investigation
what the various VAR that we have
had with Mexico In the last year or
two did cost from the standpoint of
dollars, to say nothing about life, fu.
ture pensions and everything else. 1t
cannot he told possibly In "a decade or
two decades. As near as | can get 1t
and | do not give it from investiga-
ton. but | have seen 1t stated-the
cost OF the Mexican situation to the
treasury approximates S160,0oO,oo0.
This is quite a large sum-"

1T Is therefore considered by the al
lies that the action of the United

that those who control In Russia will
