FORTHCOMING CONGRESS WILL
BE CONDUCTED ON BUSINESS
LINES BY REPUBLICANS

Washington, May 14-"The Repub-
lican majority will be ready for bust
ness as soon as the gavel falls on May
10TH" announced Representative
Frank w. Mondell, of Wyoming, floor
leader of his party, to your cores
pondent.
"The majority committee members
will be elected the first day of the ses-
sion," he went on, land if the minority
will present their committee members,
which they have not yet done, the
House can get to work at once.
"Tke first work will be that of pre-
pairing ard passing the seven ap-
preparation bills which failed in the
last Congress. In the meantime the
legislative committees will organize
and proceed to business. :.
"In view of the fact that the Presl-
dent has decided to call Congress IN
session in advance of his return, it is
to be regretted that he did not make
I'D his mind sooner that this might
be done. Congress might have been
+ in session from the 1st of May or
even earlier, in which event the legls-
lative program would now be well
under way.
Congress will be compelled to es-
tablish an entirely new record for the
dispatch of business, it it passes all OF
the appropriation bills between May
10Th and July 1. But l am sure 1t
will be the disposition of Congress to
advance the program as far as pos
sible by the LIST of the fiscal year.
81 anticipate busy, business-like
session from the beginning and the
adoption of a forward-looking con-
structive program. The problems be-
fore us are numerous and important.
I anticipate an earnest spirit OF
harmonious cooperation in connection
with the consideration of all OF these
problems. g..
"The fact that the Republican ma
jority thoroughly organized immedia-
tely after the adjournment of the last
Congress, elected a speaker and ma
jority leader, selected the chairmen OF
all of the committees, named the
minor officers such as clerk, door
keeper, sergeant at arms and post
master, and appointed every men"re.
to his respective committees, enabled
every Republican member to mentally
prepare for the work he will be called
upon to do when the work of the 66th
Congress begins. Hence the member
ship of the party which will control
the House is in better shape for i'm
action for the good of the
country than any new majority in
many years"

CARL FREDERICK GRAU OF
GREY EAGLE TOWNSHIP
HANGS HIMSELF WEDNESDAY

Carl Frederick Grau, wealthy
bachelor residing on his own farm in
Grey Eagle township, committed SUI
eide by hanging himself late Wednes-
day afternoon of last week. The BODY
was found dangling at the end OF a
strap in a granary on the farm. by
Lewis Glockzin, a nephew, who had
GONE to the farm on business. He at
once notified relatives and physician
was summonded from Grey Eagle
who. having confirmed the fact OF
death. notified Coroner Fred Peter
son. of this village. Mr.. Peterson Went
To the Grau farm, but the fact OF SUI
eide was so apparent that no mquesG'
was deemed necessary. ,. i.
Mr.. Grau was about 81 years OF
age and was born in Germany ne
had resided alone on his farm 1or
several years and had accumulated
mite a little wealth. Lately he had
heen in i'll health and had become dis,
couraged and melancholy, and had
been heard to- say that perhaps It
would be best were he to end his NE
before he became unable to care Tor
hlnSoll. UOdloOo "AeAA
had dinner with his relatives as
usual. Shortly after going to his farm
however, he must have decided TO
commit the rash act, and lynn,
hitching strap over beam in the
granary and wrapping the loose enc
about his throat, he knelt down and
wa sslowly strangled. The strap was
not fitted with a moose, but had mere
ly been held about his neck in such
way as to cause death.
Mr.. Grau is survived by two sisters
and two brothers, as follows: Mrs.
Louis Glockzin and Mrs. Gust Ruech-
ert. both of Grey Eagle township,
Herman Grau Of Tracy and Henry
Grau of Wells. Funeral services were
held Saturday, the remains being in
TERED at Lakeview cemetery, Grey
Eagle.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the bereaved relatives in

LEILA FAY PAGE.

Miss Leila Fay, the daughter and
second child of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F.
Page, died, here, last Sunday evening
at six o'clock, from malaria and COM
plications, having been i'll for about
two weeks.
Miss Leila Fay was born Aug. %,
1899, and most of her comparatively
short life was spent right here in
Lexington. During a considerable
part of her life she was frail of body
and that fact keeping her closer in the
home, additionally endeared her to
her parents, two brothers and sisters.
She is survived by her parents, two
brothers, Frank and Harry and four
sisters, Eddie, Willie Mrs. Will Rush,
Mable and "Snooks".
Her untimely death, being cut off
from life just when on the threshold
of womanhood, is a sad blow to the
family and their many friends.
The funeral service was held in the
home Monday afternoon, Rev. Fleet
wood Ball officiating and the remains
were inferred in Lexington Cemetery.

Notwithstanding the, published
statement that food prices generally
advanced one per cent in the month of
August, the Nashville Tennessean of
the 10th had an editorial on "Declin-
ing prices Of Foodstuffs" because
since July 18th up to Sept. Goth the
price Of hogs on the local market had
fallen from $22.S5 per 100 pounds to
$16.35, and corn in the same time had
fallen from $2.15 per bushel to $1.65
per bushel, both being based on the
Nashville market. This reminds us
that nobody in this country has yet
discovered that corn hadsfallen below
$500 per barrel or $3.50 per bushel, in
the ear. Just few days ago a very
good citizen from whom we bought
some corn, said. "You know we farm
ers think that we ought to have So"
And so it goes-every man kicks on
having to pay extortionate prices, yet
no man is willing to reduce his own
Prices of Foodstuffs ought to fall
first, for those are the things neces-
sary to keep soul and body together.

1t is enough to make one shudder
and grow sick at heart to think what
our country may be brought to by the
avarice of those who are boosting the
almost unbearable prices on shoes
and clothing, to say nothing of those
things necessary to preserve life. IL
you price a suit of clothing now, the
dealers tell you that the Spring prices
are going to be dollars higher still
and the Lord only knows what an
other winter THAT of 1920-2l) may
bring. The matter of money in this
country is putting handwrighting on
the wall and the greedy, grasping,
soulless fools will not stop in their
chase after more dollars long enough
to see it. Well, what is to come will
come-and when it does come every
body, including the Devil, will get
their dues, their just dues. When
the day of judgment arrives those
who have tried to keep clear of
the thieving profiteering of the day
will have scant sympathy for the ones

Somebody suggested last week that
Hiram Johnson, the California Sena-
tor and erstwhile Bullmooser, might
get back from trailing President Will
son through the West with the Repub-
lican presidential nomination hanging
round his bull neck. That was writ,
ten or suggested when it was thought
that Hiram would follow the Presi-
dent even to the Golden Gate, but it
did not turn out that way, for in Min
nesota, "Mr. Johnsing seed light" as
it were and turned back to Washing
ton, stating that he would deliver an
address, perhaps through the Con-
gressional REGARD, telling all he don't
know about the peace treaty and the
league of nations. 1t is our prediction
that when the senatorial election
time comes round again, California
will not fail to take the opportunity
to turn Mr.. Johnsing loose.

STEEL WORKERS GO ON STRIKE.

What was termed ''nation wide"
strike of steel workers was inaugur-
ated last Monday, followed by differ
ing claims from the two sides con-
cerned. The effect was said to be
hardly noticeable at Birmingham, but
at various steel works in the North
East and Middle West, enough men
went out to considerably retard prog
ress of steel work.
The strikers are exercising their
privilege in making their demands
and striking when same are refused
likewise they have the right to pre-
vail, in peace. if they can, on all
workers to join them in the effort
made. But no organization or indi-
vidual has the right to resort to vio-
lenee and so long as men will respond
to the call of LAW, violence should
not be tolerated. Our. sympathy is
naturally with the working man so
song as he refrains from Bolshevic
methods to carry his point.

 We are therefore now come to anothef milestone in national progress. We ap- proach a new test of the soundness Of American ideals of a government of, by and for the people. The test Is whether our wonderful victory of liberty is worth the cost as apportionted to the private pocketbook by the peoples representative.
 Tt is such big thing, this collection of taxes directly from private funds and business funds, that nothing short of our best American cooperative effort can make is successful and hence just. The bureau seeks this operation of the people in collecting the revenues. It has never been denied or stinted; anything less than the great, voluntary outpouring of shares in the national assessment is unthinkable.
 And it is such big thing that the willing taxpayer must have the guar antee of this bureau that the laggards. the jugglers and the violators will not escape taxation and penalties. The bu- reau is fulfilling it's part of this con tract with the people-this contract that menas so much in the pratical, effective and just administration of the internal revenue laws"
