When news Of The presidents action broke
out thru the capitol, il aroused the greatest con-
sernation
Drastic action had been expected since last
evening but there were many who chung to the
belief that he would not actually cut the last ties
between the two nations. The president arose
early today, had breakfast as usual, and. then
called for Secretary Tumulty.
When Tumuty came back from the man.
sion his face was very grave, but the only COM
mcnt he would make was that the president would
address a session of congress at , p. m.
Beyond this the White House was officially
absolutely silent. The president had worked until
far into the night completing the message he is
to deliver. He wrote it on his own typewriter
and made the last corrections and changes this
morning

TIE SEN ATE no BLANE.

IL Is exceedingly regrettable that
the senate of the United States In It's
last moments stood between n great
complishment, and also regrettable
that this body urged only n filmsy
and untenable excuse for so doing.
The house passed a bill exempting en-
listed soldiers OF the nation from legal
oppression during their term OF serv-
Ace, and the senate refused to act
upon the bill and allowed 1t to die by
default II Is nothing but right that
those who have sacrificed their own
interests TO take up arms for the Flag
should be protected from the Oppres-
sions OF the mortgage shark and the
professional collector. In almost
every community there are men who
make n living by undertaking the
collection of accounts that, because
of either knavery or misfortune, have
been classed as desperate. When the
head OF the family is away on Uncle
Sans service there II nothing 10
prevent them from fattening off of
his absence and Selling his substance
when he cannot appear TO contest
their claims. Especially is this true
In oklahoma where we have n law
that makes II cheaper for poor man
To- pay an unjust claim than to contest
II In the courts, because the claimant

and the cost OF litigation is generally
moro than the principal of the claim
Many men will pay a bill they do not
owe just TO avoid garnishee or the
What these sharks will do when he
is gone I'm the army or navy is not
hard TO imagine.
The objection urged against the
house bill is that tho interests of the
holders OF the claims have not been
safcguardod. Possibly 80, but that
defect could have been remedied, and
anyway the holders or small claims
are generally better abS to stand some
loss than the men who have taken up
arms and left their possessions at the
mercy OF collectors. Tho bill just

ing OF mortgages In cases whore the
defendant was serving the nation and
could not appear In his own defense
No forfeiture of claims was contem-
plated except whore there was evident
intent at fraud on the part OF the
claimant The soldier should have
his protection. The house has done
nobly and the senate has covered itself
with shame.

Fellow howdy edo
I'm glad that we have chanced TO Ineet, upon
this simple little street,
have question that l long have wished
TO ask OF You,
You've known this world and all its days,
you We watched men travelling its ways,
Your wisdom is the wisdom Of the wisost
OF old
Come tell me what is best to do, how shall
run life's journey thru,
What men have made the most OF life
when all their days were told ~
lie siroked his silky beard Of gray. then
said: ~ haven't long TO stay.
But / have seen the toiers come and
watched the toilers go
I've seen the laughter and the tears that
have been strewn thru all tho years.
And very few have made the most Of
what was theirs 10 know.
I'd say the wisest man is he who keeps his
spirit wholly free.
Who resps hik joys from living souls aud
not from yellow gold
Who drops his work sometimes TO play with
little children by the way,
And stores up memories OF joys to ponder
when he's old.
1.-THE grca, mems fame that long survives,
is oft cloak for troubled lives,
Boiiri success may run trail of misery
anu Wo't
The simple man. unsung. unknown, may
truer happiness own
Than those who seek the goals OF pO\np
and fortune ever know.
Oh have slaves, that think me stern they
are afraid TO pause or turn.
They taken my hours with greedy clutch
and cry aloud for more,
As desperate men they spend In strife, for
one far goal their stretch of life
And never see or feel the Joys that blossom
Ut their door.
"And then the reaper comes along and adds
them to his silent throng,
And all they've gained Is nothing when
you've counted what IL cost.
One goal, one dream, ono single plan, can
never make happy man,
Too much Of grief IL born that way, too
much OF pleasure lost
30 live your life from day TO day, take
happiness whore'er you may,
Don't strive IN desperation for some
distant glticring goal.
Enjoy your children and your friends and
when at last your journey ends
You shall depart In splcndOr bright and
not withered soul
