House The difference between the two
Houses has heretofore been irrconcilable
by conference committees, the House in
sisting upon and the Senate opposing the
leasing Of these lands by the government
The two schools of thought are represent
ed by Walsh, of Montana. and Pittman, Of
Nevada, on one side, and some Western
Senators, like Borah, Thomas, Shafroh
who are opposed to the leasing system,
and some Fasteners, like Gallinger and
Hardwick, who consistently talk at gov
eminent ownership in any form. How
ever, in view of the long deadlock between
the two Houses, Senators Thomas and
Shafroth agreed to a compromise measure
which leaves the question of leasing, or
outright sale, to the discretion of the Sec
rotary of the Interior In the last stages
Of the debate che point that Standard vi
was interested in the passage of the meas
ure created little furry, but Senator
Pittman, who made a brilliant defence OF
the measure, showed that the opposition
to the bill was from foreign Dutch-Ger-
man company, with subsidiary companies
in the United States, whose attorneys DID
not dare come before the committee con-
sldering the bill, but contented themselves
with page advertisements in the Washing
ton papers. The vote in favor of the Dill
was 81 to 80. Without intending to m
jure a lucrative Washington industry, let
US say the page advertisement for the
purpose Of influencing Congress in mat
ters having commercial SIDE is the mos
effective means of defeating the purpose
Of the advertisers.

Hardwick and the Cabinet

T~HE junior Senator from Georgia has
n found q new text on which to hang
his Remuneration of the President for un
due c%altation Of executive prerogatives
IN thc following resolution:
"Resolved, That the President OF the United
States be requested to inform the Sen
ate, If not incompatible with the public in
tcrcst, by what warrant Of authority of law
the several heads Of the executive depart
ments hold their Offices"
That means that the President did not
send in the names Of his Cabinet officers
to be confirmed by the Senate when his
second term began on March d last. 1t
had been the custom with two-term Presi-
dents before Wilson, In ordinary times
there might be some interest in this be-
lated inquiry, but the Hardwick speeches
IN the Senate Just now serve to remind
folks that there are other terrors than
those of war.

The Man Who Has Led Jewish
Relief Work

THE name that has figured most prom
4 inently in connection with Jewish
relief work during the past two years is
that of Felix M. Warburg, of the bank
ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and chair
man Of the Federation for the Support
Of Jewish Philanthropic Societies. Mr..
Warburg has Just made an appeal to the
Jews of New York City, who have been
contributing generously to relief funds
for the Jewish war sufferers abroad, to
turn their attention to the sufferers at
home, specifically in New York. Four
and one-half million dollars is needed to
support the Jewish charity institutions
during 1918, says Mr.. Warburg.
MIR. Warburg was born in 1871 in Ham
burg, Germany, a son Of Moritz Warburg,
head of the banking house of M. Nj. War
burg e. Co., of Hamburg. He was cdu-
Gated at the high school, the so-called
"Gymnasium,' and received his earlv
business training at Frankfort-on- Main,
subsequently coming to New York and
becoming a partner in the firm of Kuhn.

"A. committee of the War Savings Com
mttec of New York City, Finley Peter
Dunno, creator of the famous "Mr. Doc

Mr. Dunno, who was born in 1867, is

education and his newspaper training, be-
teen. Six years later, in 1891, he was
made city editor of "The Chicago Times"

of the war with Spain, Mr.. Dunno was
managing editor of '"Thc Chicago Jour-

most favorable opportunity. AS E. F..
Harkins, in Literary World" expressed it:
"Soon after the beginning Of the war the
biting humor Of Mr.. Dooley found soft places
in Washington, particularly among the de-
rartmcnt tops and fossils. Bombast, red

end foibles were exposed, laughably yet
merclessly, by the Chicago lrish-A american.
Especially funny and severe was he with
the famous Board Of Strategy. In fact, he
brought that laundering body into national
r;dicule. and so thoroughly and inimitably
that other writer's, with a few inconsequeu
tial exceptions. granted him a monopoly and
the people at large enriched their common

those comments as for the dispatches from
Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines.
