Destroy Republican Control.
DETROIT, May 19-When the
United States congress convenes to-
day, Truman II. Newbury, millionaire
clubman, politico,dilettant and reac-
tionary Republican will temporarily, |
at least) take his seat as a senator
from the state of Michigan.
simultaneously with the seating of
Mr.. Ncwberry, on as soon after as the
procedure of the senate will permit, his
dismissal from that body will be de
manded by Henry Ford, motor car max
er, philanthropist and publicist.
In support of this demand there viii
be presented to the senate a resolution
calling for thorough investigation of
the circumstances attending the seiec-
tion Of Mr. Newberry as the Republi-
can nominee for the senate and his clee
ton to That Office.
Upon the result of the Investigation
depends the control of the senate. The
removal OF MI. NGWDtEfN LOT uuHtH
to hold the Office of senator Would leave
that body equally divided between the
two parties. Each would have forty
| eight votes, so that the decision in all
/ vital matters would fall to the vice
: president. a Democrat.
The specifications contained in the
petition filed by Nj. Ford in the SEN
ate and soon to be taken up again pro-
vide q pretty clear idea Of the extent
of the violations of the law alleged
against Mr.. Newbelrv and his sup
porters. This petition was prepared by
Alfred Lucking former member of
congress from Michigan, and now the
1 personal attorney of the motor car man
ufaeturer.
The petition alleges, on infornatior
and belief. that
Truman II. Newberry was not duly
and lawfully elected to the office Of
United States senator and is not en-.
titled to it, hut that Mr. Ford was

 MT. Hollis was sheriff of Lamar county several years ago, served as mayor of Sulligent, his home town, 10 years. and last summer was elected representative to the legislature from Lamar county by a large majority over one of the most prominent politicians in his county.
 MT. Hollis has introduced into the house during the present session of the legislature several important bills, some of which have already been passed and others that are now on the calandar Among the latter is one abolishing the office of county regis trar of electors and transferring the powers and duties of that office to the probate judge. He supported the workman's compensation act and while he has been opposed to woman suffrage he states that under changed condition he has an open mind on the subject. t(H
 He opposes any Increase In taxes, contending that the state now raises enough revenues to properly maintain all of it's institutions if judiciously and wisely handled.

SENATE ID RESTORE
 EXEMPTION CLAUSE Feels Alabama Is Morally Bound to Live Up to Previ-
 ous Agreement of Code
By VIM. L. GoRMLEx

Montgomery, August 9.-(SpeciaL) That the Alabama senate will restore the exemption sections of the general revenue law before 1t passes it inso- far as they affect companies already operating in Alabama appears to be a foregone conclusion. It is known that a majority of the senators hold the view of Governor Kilby that Ala bama has moral contract with these corporations not to tax them on their development projects and that sub sections J. K and H of the revenue bill. which were struck out by the house last week, will be rewritten into the bill. However. it is possible 2 that the wording will be so changed as to remove the effect of the exemp- tions from companies which may de- sire to enter business or carry on de- velopment work in Alabama in the future.
 Governor Kilby fes4s no personal in- terest in the repeating of those sec tions of the code of 1907 which grant exemptions from corporations which desire to develop unused water power, ship building and nitrogen manufac- ture for the future, but he has let his friends in the senate know that he does not believe the state should force
 
 bama under the exemption statutes to pay taxes on all the property which they have developed. Senator w. P. Acker, floor leader of the governor Tn the senate. is expected to take q prominent part in the fight to rest ore the exemption privilege to those cor poratIons which are already operating and developing the states natural re- sources. No one knows whether or not he favors continued exemptions as a policy. However, it is probable that this feature will be given little con- sideration. because few persons feel personal interest in what may hap pen to those corporations not already in Alabama.
 The big question is whether or not those already here will be granted exemptions until the end of their terms. Governor Kilby, according 10 close friends, feels that it would be a great thing for the state from a 4 financial standpoint to obtain taxes from these companies but he holds to the view that Alabama. by enacting the exemption clauses in the code Of Alabama, held out an invitation to foreign capital to come into the state and aid in development. that certain corporations did come into the stat under this invitation and constructed shipbuilding plants at Mobile and de- veloped the unused water power Cn the Coosa river and that the state now Is morally bound to continue lhe exen.p ptions in force until the close of the 10 years granted to them by the code.

Obedience Required.

The Bible rings with one long de.
mand for obedience. The key word
of the book of Deuteronomy is "Ob-
serve and do The burden of our.
Lords farewell discourse is, IF ye'
love me, keep my commandments"
We must not question or reply or ex-
cuse ourselves, We must not pick
and choose our way. We must not
think hat obedience in one direction
will compensate for ~disobedience in
some other particular. God gives one
command at a time; If we obey this
he will flood our soul with blessing,
and lead us forward into new paths
and pastures. But If we refuse we
shall remain stagnant and water
logged, make no progress in Christian
experience, and lack both power and
joy.-F. B. Meyer.

Egyptians and Persians exchanged

festivals, when all the world seems to
speak of Resurrection after the cold

Eggs DYED red were regarded as par

the Easter eggs given to children were
real ones, tinted red, purple, green OF

The Quest Of Wisdom.

What wisdom she had she did not
pick Off the hedge, like blackberries,
God is too kind to give away wisdom
after that useless fashion. So she
had to earn her wisdom, and to work
hard, and suffer much ere she attained
it. And in attaining she endured
strange adventures and great sor-
rows; and yet they would not have
given her the wisdom had she not
had something in herself which gave
her wit to understand her lessons,
and skill and courage to do what they
taught her. There had been many
names for that something before she
vas born, there have been many
names for It since, but her father AMI
mother called it "the Grace of Cod

It's about as bad as waiting for
Christmas. But the days pass on just
thing to eternity. AS life widens its
experiences from months to years and
from years to decades It begins to
take on new meaning. Time rasps of
life's angles and years distill wisdom
from its trials and sorrows. All this
linked to multiplications of itself
makes eternity. After all eternity is
nothing more than the sum of llfe's
hours added to all the hours that
have been or are to be. They are the
sum of the minutes and in them lies
the secret of eternity.-Grit.
