For several months the house of representatives struggled with water power and water censerya- ion bills. Bitter controversies arose over the subject Finally il was found necessary to appoint special com= mittee composed of leading members of the committees on interstate and foreign commerce, agriculture and public lands in order that they might agree upon q bill. Then bill was sent in by The administration and after il long and tedious debate it was passed Another emergency water power bill was brought up and again after the consumption of much time 1t was passed.
 What has become of those bills? They went to sleep safely and calm ly in choice pigeonholes somewhere in the senate wing of the capitol. Month after month the senate dawdled along, holding sessions of few hours, and adiourning two or three days at q time, but there never seemed to be any pressure to bring out these water power conservation bills As mat fer Of fact there was enough dynamite in those bills to have caused discus sion in the senate lasting year or two. The house seems to have felt that it performed its duty when 1t sent the bills to the senate, and as The measures were passed the mem- bers thought that it was good rid dance. These conservation bills which have been before congress for so many years might well be under the heading of "wasted efforts in congress"
 Scores of bills have been introduced in both houses of congress providing that the uniforms which the enlisted men of the army have in their pos session at the time they are mustered out of the service may be retained by the men. Under present laws and regulations the uniforms of enlisted men must be returned to the nearest quartermaster within 90 days after the soldier has been mustered out. Apparently everybody Is in favor of
 
 to retain their uniforms and the only thing that is lacking is the legislation.
 The senate for several days had been discussing the buildings on what is known as the Union Station plaza. stretch of ground between the cap itol and Union station which has been covered up with a lot of hideous- looking buildings which were to be used for housing war workers If the war had continued. One day when the discussion had been going on for some time Vice President Marshall stopped one of the debaters in the corridor of the senate and remarked: "I am getting little tired listening 10 all this debate about these build- ings down on the plaza. What you ought 10 do with those buildings Is to make villa for the vice president. That would settle IT. Tom Marshall has about as much use for villa as for q pair of roller skates, and this was one of his little jokes.

The big business men who came to Washington to help run affnirs during the war had some troubles of their own, which were explained by one of them about to depart his work having been finished He said that when he arrived tn Washington he met quite number of men with whom he had been. more or Jess associated in busi- ness affairs and was informed by them that he would meet in Washington either socialists or stuffed shirts" This phrase was not elaborated but the business man went on te explain that the average man who came 10 Washington generally found himself up against lot of men with salaries of $2,500 or $2,000 q year, who were ob- structioniStS. They were the class of men who had been long in the govern ment service and they always found means to hl0cl, straightforward busi- ness methods they were the red-tape artists; they were the men who were always digging up laws. rules. regula- tions, precedcnts, etc. which would prove to the active business man that he could not pursue what he consid- cred commensurate methods. Gall them, and 90 per cent of them are not there, was the way this business man who had been doing war work sized them up. He said one reason why great deal of war work had been sue cessful was because the business men disregarded much of the red tape and moth-eaten systems of the past.

EAST LA PORTE.

Dear friends and readers of the
Journal, why can we not hear from
East La Porte? Everybody is too
busy to write.
Forty or fifty years ago it was
about the only place of note in the
county. 1t contained the only store,
perhaps, there was in the county.
1t was Uncle John Potts store.
There was another thing there that
all of our fathers and mothers will
long remember and that was Prof.
DaWsOns school. We should re-
member him with respect, because
he moulded the lives and characters
of many nice men and women, He
was to the county then what Prof.
r. L. Madison was later and Prof.
A. c. Reynolds and Prof. Ingram are
now. We are blessed with the golden
opportunities of education. Are we
going to get busy?
There are not many people living
around East La Porte now, but
many more than there were then.
You will find the homes of three
generations of Wilkes here. The
other citizens of our commun ty
are Moodys, Rogers, Adams, Nor
tons, Zacharys, Hoopers and Jack
sons.
At this place will be found one of
the Oldest mica mines in the county,
The Harris Clay mine is also located
here. At this mine kaolin is duo
out the ground, separated from the
dirt and sand by a washing process,
forced by an electric pump 3 or 4
hundred yards up the mountain into
a plank flume and out of that into
another kind of Of flume a inch
iron pipe) and into another plank
f1ume. When it reaches the factory,
Which is about four miles away, it
runs into tanks, settles, is pressed,
dried, hauled to Sylvia, is shipped
away and made into plates, teacups
and saucers, out of which we all
eat.
At East La Porte, the people farm
for their living The girls who
marry the boys will have a hard
time baking pumpkin pies, making
apple butter, drying golden apples
canning juicy peaches and makirg g
hash and good corn pones, with
biscuits all around.
This is enough now.

SPEfDWELL.

The people of Speedwell are de-
lighted at the return of the soldier
boys from the war. All but four
have returned, and two of them are
in the U. S. A.
The people wanted to do some
thing to show our appreciation of
their home coming, so last SUNDAY
they gave the boys the finest din
ner ever saw given. The dinner
was served at the home of Mr.. j. F
Wilson, who had two sons in the
service in France. Quite large
number of people contributed to
and attended the dinner. The bows
seemed to enjoy the dinner and
appreciate fully that it was given
in their honor and for their enioy-
ment.
Out OF more than twenty boys
who went to the war from Speed
well, not one was killed or died and
only two slightly wounded. How
thankful we all ought to be that we
Jared so well! Only the mercies of
God and his tender care account
ior the safe return of our boys. IF
1od De Tor us, who can be against
us?" We can't pass without ex-
pressing our heartfelt sympathy for
the relatives of those who made the
supreme sacrifice. Thousands died
with their faces to the enemv in
defense of our country and our hon.
or. Those who will return are orr
heroes-living;" those who will not
return are our heroes-"dead."
hope the peace conference will
be able to formulate a plan that
will forever do away with the hor-
rors OF war. Out of the last 5000
years, there have only been 60
years of universal peace. 1t seems
10 me 1t is high time for the people
OF the world to yield to the influence
Of a higher civilization and forever
