Sailor in Navy Says He Went to Sleep
in September and Awaked on We'd
nesday.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 20-Harry
Joseph Harley, twenty-six, an en-
listed man in the navy, has just awek-
eued from a sleep of fifty-one days.
Before he went to sleep he weighed
ISL pounds; when he awoke he weigh
edS5 pounds. He had neither food
nor water during his slumber.
None of his comrades knew where
ne was and he was finally listed as a
deserter. His story is that one day
late in September, feeling drowsy, he
crawled under a bungalow at the
Hampton Roads naval base to take u
nap, without being seen by the Off
Ger of the day. He fell asleep
promptly and did not come from I'M
der the bungalow until last Wednes-
day.
He says he only felt as if he had
Just awakened from a sound sleep, and
excepting for a dryness in his throat
he did not notice anything was wrong
until he attempted to stand on his
feet. He could not stand. His
clothes had grown twice too large
and his hands were so thin that the
bones almost protruded at the knuck-
les.
Comrades found him and he was
sent to the hospital at the base. 1t
is said that Harley has drunk seven
gallons of milk since last Wednesday.
He has gained several pounds, but is
not yet regarded as being out of dan
ger.
Naval surgeons from all over the
country are coming here to take
lcok at Harley. No unconscious or
sleeping person, according to phys!-
clans, has ever lived tifty-one days
without any sustenance.

Enter league. or fight the world
says Senator Lewis. Might it not be
enter league and fight with all of Eu-
rope?-Cedar Falls Record.
Senator Lewis is one of the lead
ing democrats in the senate and the
personal defender of the president.
yet the inference drawn from this re-
mark is that a league OF nations is
going to be formed with or without
the consent of the United States.
This is quite an awkward confession
for democrat to make in the face Of
the democratic intimation that Presi-
dent Wilson should be given credit
for the organization of such league.
Fact of the matter is, the people of
Europe are yearning for a league and
what credit attaches to its formation
should be divided among the people,
including the peace conferees.

Dividing Your 1919 Dollar.

partment of Iowa University, is simp-
ly putting down the amount of money
which will constitute your income and.
against this, the proportion of that in
come which your experience, or the eX-
jperience of others, has proved should
be spent for the different items of liv-
ing expenses These items may be
classed, roughly, under the heads Of
food, shelter, clothing, operating or
household expenses, and fifth head,
for purposes of conyeniences named
miscellaneous which must include all
items not otherwise included. Savings,
unless separately arranged for, must
come out of the miscellaneous allot-
ment-and should come out first.

nonism, to which no one wishes to re-
turn. congress had at least the merit
of being able to suppress its cacoethes
loquendi. The few men who ruled the
house and senate, though their rule
was often tyrannical and generally I'M
fair, would have been scandaliZed at
the thought of letting the country's
business fall into the dilapidated and
slovenly state in which it now lies.
If this flood of talk did any good. the
evil might be endured for the benefit.
But who has ever heard of a single
vote being changed by these speeches?
They are not delivered for any such
purpose. but solely to advance the wei
fare of the speechmaker with his con-
stituents. From time immemorial it
has been the unwritten rule of congress
that speeches for Buncombe county
might be delivered during the long SEES
sion, but not during the short one,
which was devOted--after the first
week in January, at any rate-to busi-
ness, and nothing but business. In the
DAYS of CannOnism and before them the
enforcement of this rule was in the
hands of iron handed bosses, who saw
that it was carried out. After the fall
of Cannonism and the senate machine,
the good sense Of the house and SEN
ate still preserved the rule. 1t has
been reserved for the war congress, the
Sixty fifth, to break it up and to pre-
sent to the world the spectacle of a
legislature unable to legislate.

speech as reply to any criticism
hat may be directed against him,
md yet suffragists are convinced that
he did not give them any real assist
lnce in gaining the end sought, and
hey assert he had never intended to
lid them.
1.-THE agitation of the question and
it's militant advocacy by the White
House pickets had so conferred atten-
lion upon the presidents attitude
that he went before congress to
livert that attention rather than to
gain any support for the women's
movement.
.They insist that it is made mani
fest by the fact that his speech did
dot influence single Democrat to
vote in favor of suffrage, whereas, in
other matters. mere intimation OF
his desires has been sufficient to con-
troll the vast majority Of the Demo
Gratis even against their expressed
convictions.
"a secret cablegram from the presi-
lent insisting upon the passage of the
great naval bill, was sufficient to
bring that measure out of the house
naval affairs committee with the I'M
lnimous vote of the committee, and
is expected to put it through both
houses, although great majority OF
the members believe the bill unneces-
;ary and wasteful.
"Suffragists are alert to the signi-
ticance of these circumstances and
they declare they will not forget them
in the next campaign or permit the
public to forget them. In the mean
line they assert with confidence that
the new Republican congress will
pass the amendment"

WOMEN DISTRUSTFUL.

Leading women suffragists think
that President Wilson is playing
politics with the suffrage question,
according to the views of the Phila-
delphia North American, a paper
which was a pioneer in the cause of
equal suffrage, and which speaks its
sentiments as follows in "a recent edi-
torial:
THE suffragists place the response
bility for this defeat upon the Demo
Gratis as the majority party, and upon
the president as the man who might
have influenced sufficient number of
Democratic votes to have put the
measure through.
Against the President the indigna-
ton of the women is strongest. If
the president really meant what he
said in his speech to the senate when
he declared suffrage to be necessary
in the United States to enable him to
battle for greater democracy through
out the world. they insist he should
have exerted himself to gain the
needed votes among members of his
own party.
Attention is called to the fact
that number of Democrats who
voted against the amendment. today
are men who have been most subser-
Went to presidential dictation with
respect to other matters. Had
the president called upon these men
individually to aid him in making the
world safe for democracy by support
ing votes for women in the United
States, in accordance with his for
mer appeal to the senate, the suf-
fragists feel that the result would
have been different. Circumstances
and the opinion of senators all con-
firm this view. 1t is obvious that
after his specific the senate urging
the passage of the suffrage amend
mcnt the president gave the matter
no more attention. He had establish
ed his own record. and. the suffras:sts
declare, this was all he wanted to do.
AS to whether the senate would act

so angry.

There was nothing under the Texas
sun that young Rathbun would not
do, if he thought it would cause
trouble with the officers. The men
were looking for a part of his scalp.
sChink" Carswell, who is a great
reader, probably had a greater dis
liking for young Rathhun than any
one on the border. as he would come
in from rehearsal, light his corn cob
pipe, get a magazine and DO a little
bunk fatigue. II Rathbun didn't have

He always had plenty of spending
money and was supplied from home.
All of the boys we're interested in
the outcome of his trial when it be-

lie drew life sentence. When he
was Internationally paldoned by
