eeulnntna Of Man.

From this sketch of the first history
OF man it appears that his departure
from the paradise which reason repre-
sents as the first residence of his
species, was nothing else than the
transition from the rudeness Of q
merely animal nature, to humanity,
from the leading strings Of instinct to
the guidance Of reason-in a word,
from the guardianship of nature, to a
state Of freedom. Whether man has
gained or lost BY this change, can no
longer be question, il we regard the
destination Of the species, which con-
ststs solely In progress toward per-
lection; however defective may have
been the first attempts. and even a long
series Of successive attempts to pene-.
trate to this end.-Kant.

THE NEW CONGRESS
SHOWS MUCH pep
Republicans Had Machinery
Oiled and In Full Motion
the Very First g.
Day

Washington, May S1.-(Special)-
The first week Of the new congress
shows a speed record unequaled in
the history of the country. Ordinarily
the committee lists are not made up
until several days after the evening
Of the new congress, but this time the
Republicans had their house commit
tees all provided for and were ready
to 20 to bat on the opening day. The
Democrats, when this was written,
were ten days behind the Republicans
and their list Of committee assign
ments were not yet in.
Here is the record in detail: On
Monday congress elected all its Of
ficers and put all the machinery in
motion. On Tuesday the presidents
message was read in both houses and
provision was made in the house foI
taking up the equal suffrage amend
ment. On Wednesday the suffrage
amendment was debated in the house
passed, and msssaged 70 The senate
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1919-06-06

On Thursday the urgent deficiency bill
to provide for paying claims under the
war risk insurance act and also Civil
war and Spanish-American war PEN
sion claims was brought in by the
house committee, debated and passed.
On Friday and Saturday the Indian
appropriation bill, which failed Of
passage in the last congress, was de-
bated and was passed Monday.
The senate Republicans were pre-
pared to act as promptly on suffrage
and the appropriation bills as the
house, but the power Of individual
senators Is greater than that Of house
members and q vote on the suffrage
measure Saturday was prevented.
Again Monday, Senator Smith, Of
Georgia, and Senator Underwood, Of
Alabama, both Democrats, prevented
by means Of dilatory motions. The
Republicans may be depended on, how
ever, to force q vote on the suffrage
resolution in the senate at the earliest
possible moment.
There were 100000 May checks to
soldiers dependents which could not
be sent out and there will be a like
number the first of. June that cannot
be sent out, owing to the failure Of
the last congress to appropriate
money to pay them. These are provid-
ed for in the urgent deficiency bill
that has already passed the house. Not
only that, but there are $4,000 pen
sion vouchers 70 Civil and Spanish
American war veterans, to 90 out the
first Of June, provided for in this
measure. With reference to these lat
ter pension claims, no provision was
made in any bin in the last congress.
In other words, h every bill held up
by the Ave filibusters at the close OF
the last congress, had passed the sen
ate, there would not have been q dol
lar available to pay these pension
claims in June. While this congress
has provided for this failure Of the
last congress, it is possible the checks
will be delayed even now. After It
shall have passed the senate, the bill
will have to be sent to Paris for the
presidents signature, account there
will be delay in paying and the prob
ability is that on that these June PEN
sion vouchers.

A Ford car ran across the side walk
in front of Reddy's drug store on Mill
tary avenue Sunday afternoon, and
started into the Baxter cafe. Three
girls were in the car. When they
came up to the curb, the driver, in
stead of putting her foot on the brake
pressed the accelerator, and the car
shot forward. The car was not dam
aged and did no damage other than
to partly tear up a sign belonging to
the French Cleaners and Dyers and
knock out a piece Of brick in front Of
the restaurant. When the car hit the
brick wall between the two stores the
engine went dead. If the car bad been
steered q foot to the left it would have
gone through the plate glass and into
the restaurant. Quite q crowd gath
cred around the scene Of excitement.
The car belonged to Mr.. Hardrick.

A dog fight between bull dog and
a small, white. shaggy dog occurred
yesterday afternoon on Military in
front Of Reddy's drug store. The dogs
were playing together on the side
walk and seemed to be conversing in
friendly terms when they became
angry, probably over some difference
of opinion, and took hold Of each 9TH
err. The bull dog got a firm hold Of
the smaller dogs neck and held on with
death grip. The little dog did his
part, too, and was not bit dauhted
by the bull DOG. The fight was ended
by the efforts Of several men. The
bull dog was chOked loose from the
smaller dog.
