SWORN IN BEFORE sUPERIcRs
Vice Presidents Who Have Taken Oath
Of Office Ahead Of Chief Execu-
tives Elected With Them.

More than once in our history the
vice president has been sworn ard
indicted into Office sooner than the
president. This was the case Of John
Adams who took oath and became
president Of the senate and vice pres
ident of the United States nearly a
month before Washington's first in
auguration; it was the case with
Milard Fillmore, who, it is SAID, took
the oath on Sunday, March 4 falling
Oh that day Of the week in lS49,
while Taylor, the presidant-elect, be-
ing rigid Sabbatarian, did not per-
NIT himself to be sworn until Mon
day.
1t is said that in 1877, when
March 4 again fell on Sunday,
Wheeler, the vice president-elect
took the oath on that day, while
Hayes, having religious scruples, put
off the matter until Monday. Of
these cases, however, the most Pc
culiar was that of 1879, when, the
government having just been put in
operation, presented the curious
spectacle of a vice president without
a president. At the time, however,
the matter seems to have attracted
little attention or remark, and is
now remembered only as q his
torical incident.

Opening up for Prosperity.

A meeting was held at Hinck-
ley Saturday. being attended by
q few from different parts of the
county, for the purpose of dis
cussing some kind of a land
clearing proposition which is
later to be presented to the state
legislature.
Geo. w. Empey of Hinckley.
especially. has been working
overtime trying to outline a
good plan. Mr.. Employs idea is
to have a state law enacted
whereby townships could issue
bonds for the clearing of land,
and this would be placed as a
mortgage on the property--per-
haps collected in taxes-cxtend-
ing over q long period of time.
The details of the matter can of
course be worked out later. Mr..
Empey is Of the opinion that it
would be the means of opening
up much land--which we all
know there is plenty of in Pine
County--and for that matter all
ever northern Minnesota. It
would also be an inducement to
new settlers and the returning
soldiers as well as settlers al
ready here. II the money can be
borrowed from the state and the
work Of clearing be taken up on
! large scale. undoubtedly many
large land clearing companies
would be organized and thus
create an abundance Of work
work which would just be the
kind that many returning sol.
diers would like and be well
fitted for. especially those who
have engineering experience. u l

OH, SAY, CAN YOU SING?


Oh, say, can you sing from the
start to the end.
What so proudly you stand for
when orchestras play it;
When the whole congregation, in
voices that blend,
Strike up the grand tune and
then torture and slay it?
How valiant they shout when
they're first starting out;
But the dawn's early light finds
them laundering about.
IT'S THE Star Spangled Banner"
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words
of the precious, brave thing.
Hark, the twilight's last gleam-
ing has some of them stopped.
But the valiant survivors press
forward serenely
To the ramparts we watched,
when some others are dropped,
And the loss of the leaders is
manifest keenly.
Then "the rockets red glare"
gives the bravest a scare.
And there's few left to face the
bombs bursting in air."
IT'S a thin line of heroes that
manage to save
The last Of the verse, and the
home of the brave"
Read at a recent Baptist Con.
vention.

not, of course, say that senator of the United States cannot be elected to the presidency. He did not even say that in his opinion posterity had made a mistake. He said enough to warm the griddle.
 Visitors to the senate have mar veled at the scant attention paid to the average debate, and at the ab- sence of senators from what is pop ularly regarded as their post. When they are obliged to stay and hear re- marks like Senator Thomas is 1t any wonder that they find solace in absence? To call the senate blind alley leading nowhere but to resi- dence in that alley or the compara' tive obscurity of minor political hon, ors, is enough to dishearten politlca aspirants of all classes.

Congress Votes End
 On Daylight SaUing

Washington, June 18.-Doom of the daylight saving, inaugurated as a war measure, was pronounced to- day by congress, both senate and house adopting by overwhelming vote measures to terminate opera ton of the law when the period of summer time ends next October.
 The house, following three hours debate, by a vote of 233 to 132, passed a bill to repeal the law on the last Sunday in next October, but rejected an amendment to make the repeal effective at once.
 The senate by vote of 56 to $, after brief discussion, added rider to the agricultural appropriation bill providing for the repeal of the day. | light bill on the same date fixed by the house bill.
 The senate measure now goes to conference with the agricultural bill, and the house bill is to be sent to the senate. It is considered likely that the senate amendment will be finally substituted for the house measure. Action of congress there fore means continuation of the pres lent clock time this summer and early fail with return to sun time Oct. 26,
 ending two years operation of the
 daylight saving plan.
 | Members of both the senate and
 house, in advocating repeal of the
 law enacted March 19, 1919, said
 they were guided largely by wishes
 of farmers and laboring men who
 oppose the advanced working hours
 during the spring and summer sea
 son. Opponents of the repeal legis.
 lation declared the extra hour of
 daylight was boon to city dwellers
 and asserted that others easily could
 adjust their affairs to conform to
 the advanced clock schedule.
 More than two score of house
 members participated in the debate
 but as most speeches were limited to a few minutes, all obtained per mission to extend their remarks. Senate discussion was confined virtually to addresses by Senator
 LaFollette, republican of Wisconsin champion of the repeal rider, anc , Senator Calder, republican of Nev York, author of the daylight law I The six senators who voted agains f the repeal rider were: Calder, Ere P Ilinghuysen, Newberry, Page, Phipp < and Robinson, all republicans excep r. Senator Robinson.

MIR. vANDERLIP's JEREMIAH

None of the men at an informal dinner last evening seemed to be able to talk about anything but the Jeremiad speech of MT. Vanderlip as to the terrible things that were going to happen in the financial world, says J. B. in the New York Evening Post. The women turned the conversation several times but in sad and mournful way it always came back to the Vanderlipian out put of language Finally a middle aged man told this story: "Just about the first time MT. Bryan ran for the presidency I was discussing with four other young men the pos sibility of his election. We all
 knew the country was on the eve of ruin. An old man sat listening to us and after a while smiled and interrupted: Young men, l cast my first vote for Henry Clay in 1844
 Since that time I have seen this country lost and saved every foui years, but (with deep sigh) it

President and Wife
 VieU Belgian Front

Adnkere, Belgium, June 18.- President and Mrs. Wilson and their party arrived here from Paris at 8:45 o'clock this morning. They were met by King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, and at $50 o'clock left by motor for a trip over the Belgian front.
 The motor trip was to be across the Belgian battle fields to Brussels by way of the famous ruins of Ypres.
 The meeting between President and Mrs. Wilson and the king and queen was informal. Both the king and queen entered the railroad car to greet their guests. School chil. dren who had gathered at the sta. tion cheered when the president de. scended from his car. The officials of the province also were present with band.
 The arrival of the presidentia train was the signal for the military guard to present arms, while the band played American national an them. Brand Whitlock, the Ameri can minister, remained on the sta ton platform while the king anc queen were greeting the presidentia party on board the train. When ths president left the train with his roya hosts he received hearty cheer.
 The party immediately entered motor cars for the trip througl Furnes, Wulpen, East Dunkirk, Nieu port, Pervyse, Dixmude, Clercken the forest of Houtholst, Poelcapelle Ypres, Menin, Roulers, Thourout Ostend and Zeebrugge.

LOYALTY LAWS

The Nebraska state legislature in recent session passed series of laws designed to protect it's citizens from the odium of disloyalty which certain communities suffered while the United States was at war with Germany. The laws directly affect the conduct of schools, public, de- nominational and parochial, and all public meetings of any nature. The laws were suggested by the Council of Defense which found many con- munities in the state which were nothing more than colonies of Ger many, Sweden, Denmark or some other foreign country. The program of Americanization resulted in the passing of the following measures
 All schools in the state and all teachers employed or giving instruc- tions therein shall be subject to and governed by the provisions of the general school laws so far as they apply to grades, qualification and certification of teachers and promo ton of pupils.
 All religious instruction shall be given after school hours or on Satur. day or Sunday.
 It shall be unlawful for any pub. lie school teacher to wear the dress or garb of any religious order, sect or denomination.
 All private, denominational anC parochial schools shall give, in tht proper grades, such courses in Amer ican history and civil government a. will give the pupils therein thor ough knowledge of the history o1 our country and it's institutions ant of our form of government, ant shall conduct such patriotic exer cises as may be prescribed from tim' to time by the state superintendent No person, individually as teach CT, shall in any private, denomina tional or public school teach an. other person in any other languag than the English language.
 No one shall be employed as teacher in any school who is no either a natural born or fully natur alized citizen.
 All public meetings held in tn state, except those of religious o lodge character, must be conducte, in the English language.-Kansa lCity Star.

MANY TRACICAL SCENES WHEN TRANSPORTS DOCK
 WITH WAR BRIDES

New York.-There's whole world of tragedy and comedy too, when one of the big transports, carrying few score of war brides of Ameri- can soldiers aboard, docks here.
 In very many cases the husbands of the newlyweds are still in Eng land or France. Red Cross workers go down to the pier to meet the newcomers and chaperone them, but in most instances relatives of the brides are there waiting to give them welcome.
 A little French girl, plainly of peasant stock, trim and neat, with rosy cheeks and big blue eyes, came down the gang plank of one of the last "war bride" transports and cast timid eyes over the crowd. Her husbands mother and aunt were go- ing to meet her, she had been told. Suddenly two greasy faced women with unkempt hair and dirty clothes, pushed through the throng and tried to take her in their arms. They were the new mother in law and aunt in law. She shrank away from them and clung to a Red Cross
 worker for a few minutes. She was crying when she went away with
 them to begin a new life in an East
 Side tenement with none of the
 fresh air of the Lorraine valleys. | There was another little drama
 the same morning. A tall, elderly
 gentleman, with snow white hail
 and fine features waited as the gang plank was thrown aboard for some sight of his sons bride. He was from Denver, one of the Red Cross
 workers said. His only son cablec
 him that he had married "pippin'
 in Paris and asked him to come
 east to meet her at the boat.
 Down the gang plank came {;
 painted-faced creature of some 4(
 summers, wearing an extremely shor skirt and all the colors of the rain bow. She threw herself at tn,
 man from Denver, exclaiming il , broken English, "Is ziss ze fazze of Tom?"
 For just an instant the old man , head dropped, as if he had beer
 stunned by blow. Then he re
 covered, forced smile and extend
 ed his hand in greeting The pal departed in taxi.
 One other morning the Red Cros workers had difficult time straight ening out a great bridal tangle. / soldier named Green, from a littl ' western town, sent his French brid 1. ahead on transport. Her nam , was Marguerite. By some tric . of fate another soldier from tn south, bearing the same name, als . married a French Marguerite an v they came to America on the sam !. boat. The relatives of the west V ' ern lad gathered up the wrong Maj U guerite, kissed her and hurried he off to hotel where the souther n Greens discovered the mistake. The ' finally traced their new relative ' discovering where she had sent he $ baggage, and the mistake was righ- ed,
