ASK ADAMLESS EDEN
Illinois Girls Want to Have COL
ony in Far West.
Suggest That Governor Of Wyoming
Procure for Them q "Bad Lands"
Tract az Soon as Possible.

Bloomington, nl-A group Of Kane
county girls plan to found an adam
less Eden" in Wyoming or some other
far western state.
Miss Nellie Grant is sponsor for the
movement and has written to Gov. X.
ID. Carey for his assistance In starting
a woman's colony far from the haunts
of man. In making her unique request,
Miss Grant stated that the party Will
be made up of twenty, Of whom ten
are employed in watch factory, seven
are housekeepers, two are nurses and
one is q school teacher.
All are dissatisfied with their lot and
assert that the. future holds forth
nothing that is sufficiently encourag-
ing to warrant their remaining at
home. They believe that they can
make a success of farming and would
like to obtain section Of land, $40
acres, in some unsettled region, far
from a railroad and little frequented
by man.
Miss Grant suggested to the Wyo-
ming executive tract In southwest
ern Wyoming known as the bad
Lands" and which Is really desert.
No man will be allowed about the
premises.
Governor Carey admitted that 1t was
the most unusual request that he had
ever received He turned the letter
over to the immigration commissioner
with q suggestion that he do every
thing In his power to find such q tract
for the party from Illinois.
The young women are ready to pay
for the tract, but have limited funds
and can only finance a section that has
not vet felt the advancing tide of civ
ilization in the way of price. Some
members Of the proposed colony object
to Wyoming and believe that Montana
or Idaho offer greater possibilities.
The decision, however, has been left
with Miss Grant and the choice will
follow the investigation of various sites
now being made. In anticipation OF
| the establishment of the colony, the
various members are studying diligent
ly the subject of farming and stocl
raising.
They are ambitious In their plans
and propose to utilize tractors ant
| trucks instead Of horses, and will In
troduce other up.to-date methods OF
| the western frontier. They are als'
studying irrigation. All Of the younl
women are becoming familiar with
| ravolver and rifle and will be prepared
to defend their colony against an!
unwelcome intruders.
An effort is being made to close tn
deal by fall so that the trip to tn
West can be made by first of mex
year. 1t may be necessary to erec
some buildings. The young wome
say that they will be prepared to d
everything necessary In the way o
constructing q dOmicile.

Is supported by a majority Of his own
party in Congress he is master of Con
gress by reason of being party leader
The House is theoretically equal to the
Senate. Practically the House nine
times out of ten coufesscs it's incom
petence, passes the task Of perfecting
legislation to the Senate and lets the
upper body do the work.
49, House Never So Weak
And the House was never so weak
as it is now. tt is an era of small
men. Even senator's who are certainly
not intellectual giants seem great anG
wise compared to representatives. It
has been a long descent from the great
days of Reed and Cannon to the pres
ent days of Gillett and Mondell. Big
leadership in the House might wrest the
supremacy in legislation away from the
Senate just as big men in the Senate
might do something 10 restore the bal
ance between the executive and the
legislative.
And, in fact. the present Senate has
made a fight to get back some of its
constitutional rights, but not the House.
1t has been tame and acquiescent.
Across the path of the House during the
greater part of the session has lain
the Senate, incapable of general legis-
latioh because of its inability to dis
pose of the treaty. The Senate could
not pass laws. so why should the House
send any to it!

means can be employed, by elimination
Of consumption except where it is in

committee so that the reservations

ceptancc by the other powers had been
under serious consideration by the Re-
publican leaders.
No compromise plan was drafted by
the Democrats at their conference, but
il was suggested that after the prospcc-
tive defeat of the Lodge reservation,
committee of Democrats would be ap-
pointed to confer with the Republicans
to that end.
Democrats who attended the CON
ference were not bound by any con
ference agreement and said they were
willing to accept many of the majority
reservations, but could not accept the
preamble or those dealing with Article
Y. Shantung, equality Of voting and
one or two others. If possible motion
to strike out the Objectionable ones will
be made If the majority declines to
compromise, it was said responsibility
for failure of the treaty would rest on
that side of the chamber.
Various compromise measures were
considered at the conference. Some OF
those present predicted n working
agreement based on "A combination of
I the Hitchcock and McCumber proposals,

man of the Republican national com
mittce.
To Vote First on Lodge Plan
Senator Hitchcock said the Demo
Gratis were of the belief that the vote
on unqualified ratification should be
taken after, and not before, the Lodge
resolution was disposed of.
"A number of senator's arc committed
TO the Lodge reservations. he said,
"and it would not be kindly to propose
now, when senator's are bound by
pledges. a resolution Of unrescrVcd rati-
/ iication.

qualified ratification he would withdraw

"Thcre have been no pledges by sen
ators,' Senator Lodge added. 1.-The
reservations were adopted by free. un-
dictated votes of senators and, in my
opinion they will not be modified by any
talk of withdrawal.

Congress is responsible for all tax en-
actmcnts.
Contrasting mining with commercial
enterprises, Doctor Garfield said it was
necessary not to lose sight of the fact
that coal mining was the basic industry,
necessary to the winning of the war
and that reasonable profits had to be
maintained
II was because a fair return was
guaranteed under the Lever act that
Congress could not tax away all tho
mine owners profits. Doctor Garfield
said.
"But the mine workers cannot be de-
TERED from demanding higher wages

Replying to William Green. secrc
tary OF the United Mine Workers
Doctor Garfield explained that the fuel
administration in increasing the price
of coal during tho war had made an
allowance of fifteen cents for overhead
because there was not time to make a
minute examination into every case
and for the same reason ten cents was
allowed as royalty,
Referring to the forty five cents al
lowed for wages, Doctor Garfield sad
that was "a crude thing to do. but
that it was later found that the amount
was in thc average absorbed for wages

operators scale committee, told tho
miners that "a fabulous margin IN the
coal industry does not exist. y Doctor

profits in the coal business, which, nc
said. had been 'run on slender mar

"But we have made some remark"

that in 1919 the oneratOrs have gotten

they did in 1914 and that wage IN

81 10 per cent above lo14 figures;
while the cost of living has increased

nutshell.
Doctor Garfield said he had no com
ulctr figures ON the 1919 operations.
and was suspicious Of partial figures.
but that he did have some data which
showed that in certain fields operators
were making less in 1919 than in 1918.
"Rut if that is true, why is it that
the selling price of coal to the con
sumpr has increased 81 Il ton this
