EXTRA SESSION
DEEMED LIKELY
Senators and Representa-
tives Believe 1t Will
Be Unavoidable.

The big revenue. bill, which was
finally passed by the House Satur-
day night, will be disposed of early
this week IN the Senate. Senator
Simmons, who will have the confer
ence report in charge, does not be-
lieve more than two days will be
needed for discussion of the report
and it's final adoption.
The bill will be held at the Cap
itol until President Wilson returns
to Washington.
The Senate will also take up con-
sideratiOn of the Legislative. execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
which fixes salaries of employees of
Congress and of executive depart
ments. The diplomatic and consul
lar bill also is ready to be taken
up.
In the House, consideration of thc
naval appropriation bill will be re-
sumcd with the prospect of a vote
before the middle of the week. The
only matter remaining to be dis
posed of is that of the big building
program for the next three years.
Members of the House have repeat
edIy "dogged" Chairman Padgett of
the committee, for the exact con-
tents of President Wilson's cable
gram urging passage of the bill, but
he continues to keep the text OF the
message secret.
Look for Extra Session.
The Military Affairs Committee of
H1yiI1 the fnrftnCa-
tions and military appropriation
bills during the week.
With only seventeen working days
remaining of the session, Senators
and Representatives are unable to
see how all of the big supply bills
can be passed before March 4, and
are resigned to the conviction that
an extra session is unavoidable.
Senator Johnson intends to make
other attempts this week to get
action from the Senate on his reso-
luton demanding the return of
American soldiers now in Russia.
1t is probable he will make the mo-
tion for consideration Of the reso-
luton today, and if defeated renew
it several times during the week.

COblcnz. when the Germaps with
drew they left all the modern cleo
trical appliances. and the Americans
brought with them the latest i'm
prOvements in hospital equipment
which was used in furnishing No. 6.
Four other hospitals, under Amer

in Cob1enz, one Of them with 1900
beds. Within the occupied area,

ACID TEST RULE
Vice President of Security

of Chart. p.

Alton B. Parker, Democratic can
didate for President against Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in 1904, will TESTIFY
before the special Congressionl com
mittee investigating the National
Security League next Tuesday. He
is honorary vice president of the
league.
The committee expects to draw
some highly interesting information
from Judge Parker. 1t was fol-
lowing his protest against the un-
fairness of the leagues "acid test"
chart charging 30 per cent of the
House with disIoyalty that it came
within one vote of being withdrawn
from circulation.
He feared that the league was be-
ng made the auxiliary of the Repub-
lican party. his letter to President
Lydccker declared.
At subsequent 4eeting Of the
executive committee of league a mo-
tiOn was made to withdraw the
chart. 1t lacked only one vote Of
prevailing, four other members vot-
ing with Judge Parker and six
against him.
The hearings probably will come
to a close shortly after Judge
Parker testifies. The committee then
will begin the preparation of its
report.

Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood. a veteran
of the civil war and Representative
in Congress from the Ninth Ohio dis

of The Herald has made commendable
effort to raise himself above company
of which, probably, he is becoming
nauseated. No matter what he may
have written in the past for poIcy's
sake, he is entitled to credit for this
effort at self assertion. The sickening
poison mixtures prepared by Lucifer
and published by The Herald, and the
nodous vapors which rise from the
cesspool in which the News-Tribune
maintains its sickly growth, do not fur
nish the atmosphere in which clean,
hopeful, helpful spirit can live.
What can be obtained through the aid
of hirelings today is almost beyond be-
lief. The hired assassin who does his
work with buldgeon, knife or gun we
always have regarded as the lowest
product Of the race. He Is usually Of
weak mentality. But the moral assas-
sin, who debases his soul and prosti-
tutes his gifts for hire, does immeas-
urably greater harm to society. He
invites upon himself the wrath Of out
ragged goodness and he need be In no
doubt as to the certainty Of its finding
him.

PEACE,

PEACE.
At Bethlehem the Star shines bright
above the Stable door;
By every road the Wise Men come who.
never came before;
The kings, with all their caravan, keep,
watch upon the hill,
While Jesus sleeps on Mary's breast
and all the guns are still!
The plumber of the world is heaped
about that manger-bed,
Behold! the gifts the Wise Men brought
are stained an awful red.
Poor Mary's face is white and drawn.
and Joseph's grim and set
For older hearts, tho slow to learn,
are slower to forgetl
But 10, the Star at Bethlehem above
the Stable door
Shines with a glory in its light that
never shone before!
The haggard hosts Of shattered men
out on the battle plain
Have caught the slogan of the skies.
and fling it back again.
Aooeo Gaze OH LdrCn! WIN ShaK-
en- hearts, across the world they
come,
No panoply of war rs theirs, no flag,
no rolling drum;
But all are cloaked in spotless white
the garment Of His love-
And "Peace' their bursting threats
now sing, and "Peace" the choirs
above!
At Bethlehem the Star shines bright
above the Stable door,
BY every road the Wise Men come who
never came before;
The Kings, with all their caravan, keep
watch upon the hill,
While Jesus sleeps on Mary's breast
and all the guns are still!

THE WAY OF GENIUS.

She bought dozen pads or so
Of paper superfine,
A fountain pen, gold-banded, gemmed
With pearl and Divine,
A quart Of ink, and set herself
Industriously to write
Effusions which the editors
Returned with thanks polite.
He took some torn envelope, sheets
Of wrapping-paper too,
A pencil-stub, and scrawled a tale
When daily work was through
He sent it to publisher
Who sponsors famous names,
And lott was masterpiece
That all the world acclaims.

That was a wide difference in man.,
ner for an "urbane, dignified and i'm
partial jurist" to show.
In his fulsome autobiography, JUDGE.
Morris admits that he belongs to the.
Episcopal church. If so, it does not
seem to interfere either with his poll
tics or his religion.
Judge Morris plays golf, or "cov,
pasture pool" as it is called by the
proletariat. His Honor is a very in.
different hand at knocking and chas-
ing little rubber ball over the land
scape. When he makes a boneheaa
play, he is subject to some terrific,
brainstorms.

On one occasion, this "urbaneN iur-
list was playing with some such men as
George Howard Crosby, Thomas F.
Cole, Henry Nolte, the democratic Gull
lom, or Sir Andrew G. Volk, the get
rich-quick victim, who declares that q.
man who does not play golf cannot be
a gentleman.
Judge Morris made a play so verv
bone-headed that he flew into terri
BILE passion. He jumped up and down.
doubled up his fists, CRASHED his teeth
and then. while his whole body quiv-
cred with spasm of uncontroll able
rage, he poured out a stream of pro-
family that made the hair of his com
panions stand on end.
Any nonconformist or low church
would have taken the name of Morris
off it's rolls.
Some Of the society bloods also de-
clare that Judge Morris is a confirmed.
patron of the cabaret, when in Mime
apolis and other large cities, and that
his discriminating taste in and knowl-
edge Of the fine points of pulchritud-
inous cabaret favorite is as surprising
as it is complete. But that's another
story.
It is stated that Page Morris has
sold or is selling all his property in
Duluth. He has acquired a handsome
home in Pasadena, California, where
his family now resides and where he
can play golf with Rockefeller's pas
tor, if he is fairly circumspect in his
language.
Page Morris has sucked Duluth quite
dry. This neck o. the woods has moth

A SIGN OF SANITY.

In the issue Of The Duluth Herald
Of December Is, the editor-in-chief Of
that publication expressed himself as
follows, viz:
We can't afford in this country to
prosecute men for the sake of con-
science, however greatly in error they
may he-or we may think them to be.
We can't afford to establish the prece.
dent that any man or set Of men can
suppress other men merely because they
do not agree with them. We can It
afford to overlook the fact that the
prevailing opinion is merely an ac-
ceptance Of things as they are, and
that because things ARE is no conclu-
sive argument that they are RIGHT.
By writing the foregoing, the editor
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-12-27
THE WORLD is AWRY.

Does anyone in the world today
speak with authority? Does anyone
speak with knowledge?
Truly, many are speaking. SO many
conflicting voices are heard that there
comes to mind the unanswerable ques-
tionnaire, beginning, ''Who are these
that darken counsel by words without
nowledge7'
The world appears to have slipped its
moorings. and lost its rudder. Those
who pretend to know what Is needed
TO restore peace and prosperity to this
country are as far apart as the poles
IN their ideas Of what ought to be
done. Recently this was shown conclu-
sively in an article by = popular writer
in which he quoted half dozen men
Of national prominence who had ex-
pressed themselves emphatically on the
subject. There were as many different
and differing opinions as there were
views expressed. It showed that the
wisest men are only cropping in the
darkness. - -
The plain fact is that authority in
tho world is weakening. The supreme
council is as impotent to enforce its
DEGREES as Canute was to command the
waves. Individuals. and states defy It
with IMMUNITY. The reason is that au-
thority in those states has broken down.
In some countries governments are
drifting. Compromise Is the policy of
the hour.
At Washington a situation exists
which seems to be inconsistent with the
spirit Of the country. For two months
the president has been confined to his
bed by illness. His system responds
but slowly to the most skillful treat
Ment. The problem Of his physicians
appears to be to protect him from the
disquieting affairs Of state. All the
circumstances indicate that he Is very
~. Yet every harrassing situation that
develops at home or abroad Is put up
% the sick man. Every such problem
