SAYINGS BY LARRY HO.

A man never has to hurry when ne
knows he 3 on the right road.
If there is no hell, how shall we get
evon with the trombone player. =.
No one is drafted into the army OF
comradeship-but all can volunteer.
The knocker eventually hammers the
house down and has no place to live.
Life is game Of 'cnoose your pard-
ner''-so it's up to us to say whether
we'll dance with happiness or woe.
Oh, how lovely is Saturday, when the
little boy does not have to go to school,
but can stay home and sift ashes.
Let us love men because they are our
brothers, and be thankful for Them
without question as to their opinions.
No class can serve America. Only
ALL THE PEOPLE working with COM
mon purpose, can serve and save
America.
If half the energy that goes to fight
what is wrong were given to encourage
what is right, the world would soon es-
cape most of the wrong.
In London clergymen are talking OF
forming union. 1t used to be thought
that it was the congregation that desir-
ed shorter church hours.
Children seldom have prejudices. 1t
is only when they grow up that they
clutter up the mind with the junk Of
foolish suspicion and pride Of opinion.
No man is a good citizen who does not
feel keen sense Of responsibility for
every word he utters. Libcrtinism of
speech is as vicious as looseness Of iv-
ing.
It is not new systems we need, but
new motives. Let love and justice rule
the hearts Of men and the world will be
all right no matter what system of So
ciety and government we live under.
There is not enough anarchy in
America to make dent against the fine
spirit Of loyal common sense, provided
all people who are clean and unselfsh in
i thought ana act stood shoulder to Shout
der. What makes anarchy. dangerous is
that it can attack us in groups because
of the foolish isolation between men.

Mexican Situation 0vershadoWs
All Other Questions For
Immediate Future.
CUMMINS BILL UP SOON
No Likelihood OF Any Action. On
Peace Trety Expected Until Afzer
Holiday Recess-MaHy
Probes Are On

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Mexican
situation overshadows all questions
likely to come before Congress in the
next few days.
The Senate Foreign Rela...@ilS; COM
mittee will meet at once to give
further consideration to a resolution
requesting President Wilson to break
off diplomatic relations with Mexico
and to withdraw recognition of the
Carranza government.
Senator Fall, Republican of New
Mexico, author Of the resolution, talk
ed over the situation with the Presi-
dent, and it had been expected that
Mr.. Wilson would give some express
sion of opinion on the proposal in adj
vance Of the meeting. Senator Fall
said, however, that the President had
not definitely promised any response,
either before the committee meeting,
or later.
Aside from Mexico, there is work
enough to keep Senate and House
busy until the holidays, with little
probability that the German peace
treaty will be taken up in the Senate
meanwhile. No action on the treaty
before next month has been expected.
Senate leaders still hope to get a
vote in a few days on the Cummins
bill, designed to meet conditions with
return of the railroads to private oper-
alton and control, but with the long
fight over the bills anti-strike provi-
sion, there may be no final enactment
until next month.
Many hearings and Investigations
are on the docket for the immediate
future. The Senate elections commit
tee plans to take up the Ford-New-
berry election contest by appointing
subcommittee to conduct an inquiry
and count the ballots sent here from
Michigan. The Senate Interstate
Commerce committee will try to get
started on plans for investigation of
its employees.
immigration legislation is to be
considered further by the House I'm
migration committee and, in consid-
Grafton of anti-radical legislation, Sen.
ator Sterling, Republican, Of South
Dakota, will press his sedition bill
penalizing attempts to overthrow the
government.
The coal strike and other industrial
troubles will be considered immediate.
ly at special meeting Of the Senate
Labor committee, Chairman Kenyon
hopes that Congress may be able to
assist in settling the strike, possibly
bp providing an adjustment tribunal
A resolution calling upon the govern
ment to take over and operate the coal
mines as an emergency also is being
discussed and the committee will con
slider the resolution Of Senator Jones
Republican of Washington, proposing
Congressional investigation Of the
strike.

Senator Fall SO Indicates II
Telegram Sent To Amer
lean There.
PROBE WILL CONTINUE
President Wilson Has Net Indicated
His Intention Not To Break of
Diplomatic Relations with
Mexico.

WASHINGTON Dec 10.-MemEers of
the Senate Foreign Relations COM
,nittee conferred informally and de-
cided that the investigations Of con-
ditions in Mexico by the Senate COM
mittee should be continued in Wash
ington and on the border The COM
mittee members also approved tele-
gram sent by Senator Fall of New
Mexico, chairman of the investigating
committee, to H. T. Oliver, an Ameri-
can at Mexico City, in which the sena-
tor said President Wilson had not in
Dictated his intention not to break off
diplomatic relations with the Carranza
government.
The telegram follows:
"Your telegram received. You are
fully authorized to repeat and, if
necessary, publish in Mexico my state
ment to you that although I have been
called an interventionist, I am posi-
lively opposed to armed Intervention
in Mexico except as an absolutely last
resort and that my desire is for some
friendly solution of pending questions
between the Mexican people and the
government and people of the United
States.
IF you publish this statement in
sist that you publish also the follow
ing evidence: Truth of above state
ment should be found in the fact that
the committee has given publicity to
Carranza's letters of instructions to
Berlange of June IA and August 10,
1919, showing his active interference
in affairs here. Also Of distribution
here by Bonillas, ambassador, and
Mexican consuls Of revolutionary lit
erature. Also of Carranza letter d.
recting Miss Galinda to abuse the
United States and particularly Presi-
dent Wilson. Letters between Mexi-
can officials showing negotiations with
Japan. Also blue book, letters and ex-
pressions abusing President Wilson.
This action taken to impress upon
the world that in event the Mexican
people themselves do not bring pres
! sure to bear upon their present gov
eminent to cease prosecutions of Amer
leans and British and others and I'M
| warranted interference in affairs in
other countries and enormous paid
propaganda in this country abusing
Americans in Mexico, interfering with
their peace and safety and with our
government here, that some country
| will, in my Judgment, be compelled to
intervene, possibly by force of arms,
! and restore order out of the chaos in
the republic of Mexico. I am exert
| ing every effort to bring about such
| solution that neither armed inter-
vention nor war may ever be neces-
sary. Remember that in the Presi.
J dents letter to me he does not indi-
/ cate that he will not breaff off rela.
tons and withdraw recognition, but
! he is gravely considering the commit
| tees memorandum"
