How the Senators Stand.
Senators are chary Of their opin-
ions regarding the enforcement leg
islation to be passed by their cham
Der. Nine out of ten asked for their
opinion on Senate changes answered
by saying they had not read the
House bill The majority Of those
questioned said they have been wait
ing for the judiciary Committee to
report a bill before taking active in
terest in the question.
Senator Sterling, chairman OF the
subcommittee considering enforce
ment legislation, gave it as his opin-
ion that the Senate will pass its own
bill, drawn by its own committee, in
stead Of trying to put it's views into
the House measure by Amendment
Senator Shields Of Tennessee, a
member Of the Judiciary Committee,
said:
"If the House bill is as drastic as
1t has been reported to me to be, I
should say the Senate will fnd 1t
necessary to liberalize it through
amendments"
No Change On IntOxlcant
Senator Sheppard Of Texas, a dry
leader. il OF the opinion, he said. that
''in the exchange Of ideas between
the House and Senate. a result similar
to that reached by the House bill will
be obtained. While the Senate doubt
less will insist on structural changes,
on one thing there can be no change,
and that is the provision defining in
toxicating beverages as those con-
tanning one-half Of per cent Of alco-
hol, or more"
THE bill, in my opinion, will pass
the Senate in substantially the form
1t has come to US from the House"
said Senator King of Utah, a mem
Der of the subcommittee. 81 base that
prediction upon my knowledge OF the
general situation"
Senators Swanson Of Virginia and
Gay 81 Louisiana said they have views
upon enforced legislation which they
felt obliged to keep to themselves un-
til they have seen the report Of the
Senate committee.
The action of the States and hons
opinion will have great weight with
the Senate, in the opinion Of Senator
Newberry Of Michigan
Senator Curtis Of Kansas said that
while he is waiting for the Senate
committee to act, he believes the bill
as it passes will be neither more
drastic nor less so than the House
measure.

DRY BILL TO

INTHESENATE

The Senate will not accept the
VolstAad prohibition enforcement bill
Gs passed by the House, but will tone
Gown some OF its more drastic pro-
visions.
1t Is believed the section prohibit

stock Of liquor for personal purposes
will be stricken out, as some Sena-
tors contend that Congress should not
deprive q person Of liquor lawfully
procured and held for his own con-
sumption, just because he moves from
one house to another.
The Anti-Saloon League will fight
hard to keep this provision in the
bill and it is as powerful in the Sem

 "Tbo happiness. contonmcnt and prosperity among the colorcd race in Mississippi is much greater than the committee expected to find We know no place where greater hap ptncsz and prosperity prevail among them"
 School facilities were found to be good. churches. adequate housing con ditions being improved rapidly and race relations good. according to the report while the industrious negro is afforded excellent opportunities to become a land owner. No police op- prossion. imposition or "1awIca+uoss" was found. Negro workers in the -awmin districts were reported happy and contented

U-BOAT SCHEME 10 BOTTLE FLEET
 COMES 10 LICHI

LONuON, lBy maD German C- boats uued to bottle up the Huusu s.uod fleet in the Firth ol Forth dul- lus the latter part oI the war. says d London paper which describes this as the most ambitious tactical opera ton undertaken by enemy undersea o.aIt
 The scheme aimed at the blocking 0. t., ynDauc" (, in. IT,, n Dy the sowing of a big miue1eld. Three months of hard work were devoted to the task by a considerable fleet ol auDmainus, the mines being laid in the shape or a haIl-moon. But minesWeepers had discovered the plan ana as last ss the mines were plant ed they were cleared away.
 It is recalled that other similar attempts to trap the fleet were made in 1915 in the Moray Firth, when over 400 mines were laid, and in 1915 at the Orkneys. In round mum bers, on these three occasions, the Germans laid HOO mine at a cost ot Sl.000 each. The King Edward was the only fighting ship that fell victim in these operations.
 Enormous numbers of mines were laid by the Germans off Harwich It was found that these fields were spread regularly at ten-day intervals. so British sweepers occasionally left portions of these waters unswept 50 that when the next batch of sub- marines came along they ran afou, of their own mines
 The task of clearing British waters of mines is almost completed.

WALT MASON'S DAILY POEM

If you promise you will meet me at the dump at half-past two, and at that hour fail to greet me-if so flagrantly you treat me, I am done, my friend, with you. You may meet me with excuses, telling why you were not there; but on such I call some truces, they're not worth as many deuccs, explanations are hot air. Keep engage ments to the minute, is the burden of my song, as I swat my Tyre and spinnet sing ing like locoed linnet, caroling the whole day long. If you say you'll pay the ball- CT for his pies, on Monday noon, do not prove yourself faker, or taradiddle mak- er-be there with the large doubloon. Keep your promises unbroken, let no pledge of yours sag down; keep your word, though lightly spoken, be of faith the sign and token, and you Il have high renown. Keep your word, from A to Izzard, never over look a date, though you walk thru sleet or blizzard till you freeze your cherished gig zard-be the man who's never late.

LABOR's STAND UNDEMOCRATIC

The withdrawal of organized labor from the national industrial peace confer ence in Washington Wednesday will not appeal to the sober judgment of most Americans nor to the sporting instinct that is prevalent in most men, That instinct feels an admiration for the game loser equally as strong as for a sportsmanike winner, but for the crab who loses it has no patience.
 The conference neither condemned nor endorsed the principle of collective bar gaining Had it done cithor it might have prevented the disolution of the conference, but its failure to do neither should not cause disscnsiOn.
 It is true that organized labor counts collective bargaining as one of its cardinal principles. It is equally true that the ma ioritv of employers refuse to recognize 1t. The greater part of American labor is not unionized and collective bargaining is not reckoned among its assets, On the other hand many employers do grant the reason and need for collective bargaining which about evens the score.
 With industry threatened by the op- posing viewpoints of employers of the em- ployed, with unrest growing every day. with strikes in force and others threatened, with union men refusing to follow their duly elected officials and striking without orders and contrary to instructions, the general industrial fabric of the country faces an unparalleled situation and it was to remedy that situation that the confer ence was called into existence,
 The attempt to bring the country $ industry to a higher level by appealing to the best instincts of both capital and labor seems doomed to fail because Iabor defeat ed in one particular refuses to play the game to its conclusion. In its refusal it but continues to show the attitude being dis played by many branches of federated la bOr over the entire country.
 The attitude is strikingly undemo. cratic. The will of the majority and not the minority is the rule of democracy. In the conference, the minority, not being able to control, bolts and refuses to abide by the will of the majority. In the country at large union labor, still in the minority, threatens to choke the very lifeblood out of American industry unless its demands are acceded to.
 A general steel strike is still in pro gress. The coal miners threaten to cause much suffering among the general public by tying up a large percentage of the cOun- try's producing mines. The railroad work CTS propose a general tieup of transporta- tion if their demands are not granted. If the last mentioned should go into effect hunger and cold would be the part of un- told thousands.
 The conditions that such strikes would produce are unthinkable No sane man will cOndOne methods that would bring them about If union labor will not assist in evolving a scheme to prevent them, the government will probably have to do it alone. Peaceably if possible, but if that can't be done, force must be applied We believe in the organization of labor, but we cannot endorse holdup methods even if they are used by union labor. A bandit tho he be clothed in the garb of the honest workmen, is none the less bandit

Upon the recent death in a West ern town of politician, who at one time served his country in a very high legislative place, number of of newspaper men were collaborating on an obituary notice.

marked: "Thcrc are two methods of mak ing alterations: the one iS to make cuurc~ sions which are always toe late: the other to see at a distance that the things must D, done effectively and at oucc The merit o0 this latter method belongs to thc admins rration of Lord Grey; he iS the only min iSter l know who has conceded at the brgilA ming of twenty years what would have been eXtorted at the end of it. -
 The application to the present squab bling at Washington k very fitting. and ii would be well for the Never Never States men" to regard Sydney Smith < account of the unequal combat Mrs. Partiugton had with the ocean in his inimitabIc description when he said:
 As for the possibility of the House of Lords preventing ere long a reform of Par tion that ever entered into human imagiu- ation. l do not mean to be diSrcspectfuI but the attempts of the Lords to stop tho progress of Reform reminds me very fore ibly of the great storm of Sidmouth, and of the conduct of the excellent Mrs Parting- ton on that occasion. In the winter of 1894 there set in great flood upon that town the tide rose to an incredible hcight-tht waves rushed i'll upon the houses, and everything was threatened with dcStrur ton. In the midst of this sublime and tcl- rblc storm, Dame Burlington. who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of hc1 house with mop and pattcuS, trundlmg her mop, squeezing out the scaWatcr, and vigol- ously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean The Atlantic was reused. Mrs. Parting tons spirit was up; but l need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atamti, Ocean beat Mrs. Burlington. She was cN- cellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddIcd with tempest Gentle men, be at your casc-bc quiet and steady you will beat Mrs Partington."
 The League of Nations is coming. No frantic efforts of the Bourbon-mindcd cal stop it. It is as inevitable as the Day ot Judgment You can no more prevent ii than you can prevent the sunrise.
 Why?
 Simply because the oyclwhcImiug ma jority of the population of the globe wants 1t.
 They may differ on many points, but upon one they are a unit; they are sick and tired of war.
 The mind of the world is made up.
 It only takes three of the major ma tions to put the League into effect. Ii Great Britain, France, and Italy or Japan take this step, then the world will go for ward, and the United States of America will be put in an mtoerable position,
 We, the foremost Democracy, shall be- come the champion of the detestabIe "olC order!''
 This is unthinkablc. Sometime, some how, we have got to take our place in tho concord of nations that are organized tc prevent war
 We may have to wait until the pres cnt senatorial mischief makers are relegat ed to private life, but it surely will come,
 Because it is the next step in evolution
 Because it is the incarnation of ''thC common sense of all" that shall ''kccp the fretful world in awe"
 The present objectors may do infinite damage, there's no use denying that, for a child can break thousand dollar vase but at last they shall be discomfited.
 For no Mrs. Burlington can sweep back the tide.
