Application of Cloture
In the u. s. Senate

In the United States, in Congress
and out Of il, there is natural an
tipathy to employment of cloture; pub
lie opinion IS certain TO withhold ap-
proval of it, save as a last resort.
The existing cloture rule of the Senate
was adopted 70 prevent q repetition
of the obstruction carried on by q
handful of members, pronounced will
full" By the President, who were, ap-
psrently, determined 70 force great
railway strike upon the country, last
winter, when war with Germany had
become an imminent probability. Only
on the eve of the day and hour an
nounced for the beginning of the
strike, and when the sentiment Of the
country had become so pronounced as
to convince Congress that extreme
measures in dealing with the Obstruc-
tionists, should they persist in their
tactics, would be demanded and ap-
proved, was the Adamson law enacted
The cloture rule adopted by the Sem
ate, following the meeting OF Con-
gress in extraordinary session last
April, and now operative, has never
been enforced, but in the case Of the
Food Control bill its enforcement was
threatened, as it was, in August, in
the case of the War Revenue bill. The
value of the rule as a preventive OF
mischievous obstruction or tlAbuster-
ing has been established, and the
Senate will, in all probability, retain
it during the progress of the war

House Conferrees Expected
to Accuse Senate of Favor

Measure To Be Rushed
Leaders in Both Branches Pre-
dict Differences Will Be
Quickly Ironed Out

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1l.--Three out
standing points of difference will exist
between Senate and House conferrees
on the war tax bill when they begin
their work, probably tomorrow. They
arc on the income, excess profts and
second class mail matter sections.
Democratic Leader Kitchin announced
tonight taat he would ask unanimous
consent tomorrow 10 send the bill 70
conference, and none Of the Republi-
can members indicated that they would
object. The Senate already has named
It's conferrees.
Confidence is universally expressed
that an agreement soon will be reached
on the measure, despite the wide diff
ferences on the three sections. House
members are pleased with many
changes made By the Senate.
II am pleased with the outlook for
an agreement" Representative Kitchin
said tonight. There are many jus,
and good changes in the Senate bill to
which heartily subscribe. There are
others, Of course, which l do not ap-
prove, but the outlook for ironing out
our differences is good"
Some House members say the Senate

Letting information instead Of taxes
at the source gives corporations an
opportunity to escape taxation and

funds. They olso oppose the Senate
plan for excess profits tax assessments

STABILITY of raising a billion dollars

4 compromise on the second class
mail rates is expected by the House
leaders. The Senate eliminated entire

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-An appeal to the

On the Screen
The Conqueror' at the Globe
Depicts Life of General
Sam Houston

The Conqueror,' uicturization Of
the life of General Sam Houston, was
presented at the Globe Theatre Monday
night by William Fox.
Particular stress was laid on the fact
that the picture was photographed in
California, Texas ind Mexico, that it
was six months in the making and that
5000 persons were employed. when in
reality all that interested the specta-
tors was the fact that they were given
a chance to see William Farnum in a
picture which abounds in human in
terest.
"The Conqueror" is a delightful sur
prise, for, as a rule, when a photo-play
is advertised as costing close on 10
100000 one expects to be overwhelmed
with the magnihcence Of the produc-
ton. but one never expects TO be al
lowed to become really well acquainted
with the characters. One rather eX-
poets them TO be vainglorIous creatures,
who are at all times conscious OF the
fact that they cost great deal OF
money.
Sam Houston is the best thing that
William Farnum ever has done, not for.
getting his dual role in "The Tale OF
Two Cities"
Jewel Carmen is delightfully."- cast as
Eliza Allen. She Is pretty and WIN
some, with just the proper amount OF
hauteur. and the frocks and hair ar
rangement of the period are partIcu-
larly suited to her style.
Charles Clary is the villain, sidney
Stokes. His transgresslons were mani
fold. He was a traitor, murderer and
a revolutionist. He made war on de-
fenceless women and stabbed In the
dark, but the thing which won our
everlasting enmity was his murder OF
Sam Houston's dog. That dog was the
most fascinating canine when mas YET
appeared on the screen, and he had a
great deal to do with the story before
he met with an untimely death.
Hundreds of Sioux Indians, who were
the real thing, appeared IN the picture
and TO secure their services it was nee
essary to deposit $4,000 10 guarantee
their safe return. Thousands of horses
and some stupendous battle scenes are
a part of the entertainment In tact,
the picture quite beggars description;
there is so much of IT and it Is so
varied.
For once, the press agent did not ex-
acgerate when he said: But bigger
than these is the dynamic, dramatic
driv of The Conqueror.' The picture
holds the audience tense, ever expect
ant of new thrills, as they watch the
humorous, romantic, sometimes pa
thetic. even human, story of Sam
Houston
Mr.. Farnum held an impromptu and
involuntary reception in the lobby of
the theatre at the completion OF the
picture. He had supposed that he was
completely disguised by wearing ordi-
nary street clothes, but some one recog-
nized him and insisted on shaking hands,
and then every one else followed suit.
Al the time of going to press he was
still shaking hands.
At the Park Theatre tonight William
A. Brady's "Rasputin, the Black Monk, "
will have its first public exhibition.
The cast is of the all star variety and in
cludes Montagu Love, June Elvidge, Ar
thur Ashley, Henry Hull. Julia Dean,
Irving Cummings and Hubert Wilke.
The Russian Consul General and all
the members of his staff will attend
the first showing. II. L.

Strssser's Revised Version.
It all came about and out at the sec

Association Of Master Bakers, who are
holding their twenty-second annual
convention at Terrace Garden. JUST
like most every one else these days, the
delegates who came from all parts of
the state were discussing the high cost
Of living.
Just when the meeting was getting
bit tame, Macmillan Strasser, the
honorary president, who was presid-
ing, gave the non-combatants a genuine
, thrill and the convention itself some
, thing akin to chill by offering a res
olution :hat the association go on rec

" the convention was in an uproar.

Honorary President Macmillan
Strasser let the tumult multi and the
rdvers rave. Then in true honorary
presidential style he called the meeting
to order. 1t was plain 70 be seen he
was angry.
81 want this resolution adopted" he
proclaimed "The resolution binds you
TO nothing, and you can so out and do
anything you like afterward. The resolu-
ton doesn't bind anybody, but 1t does

SAVE THE STRAW.

The harvest season is at hand, the
music of the harvester is in the land
and soon the hum of the threshing
machine will be heard.
1t is not necessary, with grain at
the present price, to urge the wisdom
of giving special care to looking after
the grain and protecting it from the
elements and vermin, but there is a
by-product of grain raising that is
very largely permitted to go to waste
in this land of plenty and that is the
straw.
The hay crop of the country, and
especially Minnesota, is short this
year, while the demand is, sure to be
greater than ever before. The gov
eminent will require large quantities
of hay and domestic consumption will
be greater than usual. Market ex-
perts predict hay will reach $4,000 per
ton before the next crop can be put
on the market.
Straw makes a fairly good substi-
tute for hay on the farm if fed with
modicum of grain.
Carefully stack and save every
pound of straw grown on the farm
this year and it will mean bundle of
dollars in the pocket. 1t will be al
most q crime to burn straw this year.
