mittee on appropriations that | have
ever served with, Mr.. Sherley demo
craft passed through the house after
great consideration and inquiry all the
estimates that We're submitted, covered
by the bills that it had charge of. They
went to the senate and failed. Then
came the special session. a new
committee on appropriations did siren
uous work and good work, substantially
taking the bills that the house had
passed in its last session. and which
failed in the senate, reporting them with
increases"
The bills former Speaker Cannon re
ferred to We're those passed by the dem
ocratic house and sent to the last sen
ate. where they failed only because OF
the republican filibuster. Mr.. Cannon
thus disproves the republican claim
that the present house is saving the
country millions of dollars. He frankly
says that the bills reported back by the
new committee are simply those passed
by the democrats in the last congress
with increases"
And these bills are all that the pres
net republican congress has passed. Yet
in the face of such a record, republi-
cans who condemned the president for
not calling congress together earlier,
are now trying TO run away, leaving
the people in the clutches of the prof
iteers.

A WORTHWHILE NOVELIST

TN NEW YORK CITY few days ago one OF
l. the greatest novelist of the period died. Will
N. Harden, while living, never created any very
considerable stir in the reading world; dying,
he gets no flamboyant obituaries in the Char
lie Chaplned press. Nevertheless upon those
who know worthwhile fiction book when
they read it, Harden gained and will maintain
a firm hold.
The woods of so-called literature are full
of novelists-of sort The names Of many OF
them are known to millions who never heard of
Harden. Their productions are seriaized in
the saffron magazines, press-agented into a
yellow publicity, and read by the folk who
must have their literary provender pre-digested
and poked down their throats with the labels
in full view. We are not mentioning any names
here, but if you are a discerning reader you
know some of those whom we mean.

Speaking for the bill to license packers,
Senator Kenyon told his colleagues yesterday:
"Meat packing is no longer a private business
If the monopoly has grown to the degree we un-
derstand it has, it has grown indefensble and
intolerable. There may be little efficiency
growing out of it, but that is temporary The
Iowa senator speaks plainly and to the point.
The bill provides for the licensing of packers,
their separation from stockyards ownership
and the elimination of their control of refriger-
ator cars "This is radical BILL with teeth in
it. which deserves the most careful scrutiny,
but it is not government ownership bill. 1t
provides a new method of corporate control in
this country" said Senator Kenyon.

ECONOMIC REASONS.

An article in the New York Times
from Paris produces statistics to
show that the economic relations of
ireland and England are the princi-
nal causes of friction. Irish trade
and industry are controlled by banks
which favor British interests and the
British government takes much more
money from Ireland through taxation
than it puts back into that country
In 1918 the British government
raised $4,000, 900 by taxes In Ire
land. The cost of administration
was s6s.OOo,000. The lord lieutenant
is paid $4,000 and the lord chan
cellor $4,000. The net gain annually
to Britain from Ireland. including
taxes, profits, etc, will, according 20
this estimate, approximate $24o'OOO'-
600. The CO .ierce of Ireland with
Great Britain in 1915 amounted APP
proximately to sS62.0Oo,00o, whereas
the commerce of Ireland with the
outside world was less than 5 per
cent. Of that amount.
In seventy years the population
and wealth of England have increase
MANIFOLD, whereas. of all the Euro
pean world, Ireland alone, one OF the
richest countries naturally, had its
population reduced 80 per cent. Even
during the famine years, enough 300
was exported to have fed the starving
millions.

LYNcHING KEPT SUB ROSA.

In letter to The News, John r.
Shillady. secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored people, recites what purports
to be the details of a Georgia lynch
ing which he (Shillady) declares was
not published in the newspapers of
that state--one of those affairs which
have done so much to disgrace the
fair name of the south. Names and
dates-May "a, 25-and full particu-
lars are given and the name of the
town-Milan-is also disclosed.
According to the story, two white
men thanked up" one night and in
vaded the colored section of the town.
They knocked at the door of a widow
who had two daughters. but were re-
fused admittance. They then shot
through the dooS and the two girls,
badly frightened, ran out at a back
door and sought to conceal them
selves under the porch of another
colored widow nearby. They were
pursued by the men, who broke
down the door and tore up the floor.
The old lady ran out and jumped into
a well, leaving screaming children
behind.
Hearing the screams, an old col
,ored man came TO the rescue with a
shotgun. Meeting the two white
men, he was fired upon by one Of the
