Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The sedition bill, pro-
viding penalties of 20 years imprlsqn-
ment and $4,000 fine, for language or
acts of disloyalty or obstruction pr
the army drafts and liberty loans, was
passed by the Senate without rec
ord vote. 1t goes now to conference
between the House and Senate and
final enactment is expected soon. FRO
tracted and bitter debate marked con-
sideration of the measure, the passage
of which had been urged strongly by
Administration officials to permit the
Government itself to deal with DIS
loyal agitators and check the growing
dangers of mob violence.
Though modified to meet the obJec'
lions of Senators who declared the
original draft would curb legitimate
freedom of speech, the bill retains the
broad inhibition of words or acts
which support or favor the cause OF
the German Empire or its allies +.
or oppose the cause of the United
States"
1t also would punish willful and
"disloyal, profane, scurrilous, con-
temptuous or abusive" language about
the American form of government,
constitution, military or naval forces,
flag or uniform" and willful utter
ances designed to curtail production
of essential war materials. The Sem
ate adopted an amendment by Sena-
tor Jones, of New Mexico, providing
for dismissal of Federal executive en-
ployes making disloyal statements.
This was a substitute for one intro
duced by Senator Penrose, Of Penn
sylvania, several days ago after at
tacks had been made on George Creel,
chairman of the Committee on Public
Information, and other officials on ac-
count of their writings in the past.

Broke Rib While sneezino.

After this, by order Of his physi-
clan, Bernard Nhann will only laugh,
cough or sneeze in moderation. He
had been seized with sneezing fit
and when he recovered he found him
self suffering an acute pain in his left
side.
DIR. J. w. Annie was called In and
discovered that one of Whann's ribs
was broken. Then Whann explained
that It was the fourth such accident
in a few years. Not long ago after
coughing violently, he had broken an
other rib, while similar misfortune
had come to him after an attack OF
hiccoughs. Some years before rib
had snapped while he was moving a
piano.
Doctor Annie diagnosed the case as
"chalk ribs" and was inclined to think
that other bones in Whann's body were
affected the same way.
Whann is plano tuner and goes
ali over the country tuning pianos for
opera stars.-New York Sun.

A visit to New York had opened the
boys eyes as to the market for maple

quality, only rs per cent real maple,

He made a bargain with his father
for the rental of the sugar grove and
