STEPS TO MEET
HOME PROBLEMS
Wilson's Program in Message
Sent to Congress
AVOIDS LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Congress Getting To Work-Members
Are Deep In Plans To Deal
With The Spell Of
Depression.

Washington.-Both houses of Con-
gress were in brief session to hear
President Wilson's annual message. It
was read by the clerk, Mr.. Wilson hav-
ing needed the advice Of his physician
not to appear in person to present his
recommendations.
Galleries in both Senate and House
were crowded. Both those drawn by
the chance that the President might
appear in person or by the possibility
that his message might touch upon
the League Of Nations question or his
own approaching retirement to private
life were disappointed
Mr.. Wilson confined himself almost
wholly to domestic questions. Only
by inference did his message refer to
the nearing close of his adfninistra-
paragraph. The proposals he present.
ed, the President wrote, were not so
much a series of recommendations as
confession ''of the faith in which
was bred and which it is my solemn
purpose to stand by until my last
fighting day.
Aside from hearing the President's s
message, Congress made definite prog
ress on at least one of the problems it
faces during the brief session. The
House received rule under which
an effort will be made to take up the
immigration bill for prompt action. It
would limit general debate to four
hours. A two-day interval was al
lowed to permit Representative Siegel,
migration committee, to frame a
minority report.
No other matter in either house
has parted beyond the commit, Q
stage. At both ends Of the Capitol,
however. members were deep in plans
to deal with business depression, un-
employment and farmers relief Dis.
cussions in the Senate of the plight of
farmers delayed the reading of the
Presidents message im!hat body.
The industrial situation also found
a place in the Presidents. message.

WARSAW: THE PARIS OF
POLAND

: No other people, in all the world ;
history, has borne oppression so brave
" and gloriously as the Poles, except
the Jews; and Warsaw, where the
Russians had to keep a garrison OF
100000 troops to overawe city OF
100000 people" is TO Poland what
Paris is TO France.
Indeed the vivacity, the gayety and
the quick wit Of Warsaw's people are
a constant reminder of Paris; as well
as those deeper likenesses which
spring from Warsaw's ascendancy In
the letters, the arts and the social
graceS.
All this, too, In a city where the
most gruesOme tragedies have stalked.
AS recently as the years of our own
Civil war the Russian army moved
down thousands of men and women
as they knelt in the snow, singing their
national anthem. DepOrtatiOns are an
old story in Warsaw, every effort at
naturalization was followed by
slaughter, and hundreds marched the
long trail TO siberian exile.
But Poland's spirit meanwhile, be-
came a synonym for the indomitable.
The success Of the classification OF 20
land has been described as the process
of keeping 100000 Poles pinned to
Russia by bayonets Politically non
existent, for even Poland's name was
expunged from all official Russian rec
ords, the pre-war Warsaw We'd with
world capitals in science, particularly
medicine, In manufacturing, in trade
and in literature.
Though Warsaw betrayed none of
the grinness characteristic of Russian
cities reminders of her by-gone glories
and tragedies were to be found even
before the World war restored her au-
tocracy.
In the Lazienki gardens is a monu-
ment to John Sobieski, who stemmed
the advance of the Turks in Europe,
figure as picturesque as Paderewsk1
who now sees his land barrier to boil
shevism's westward spread. 1t was In
1858 that a Turkish force had thrown
itself in crescent formation around vi
emma. The encampment was no less
threatening because 1t resembled cir
Gus rather than a siege, with its herds
of camels, and luxurious tents with
baths and parrots within and foun-
tairf5 without.
Mighty events often hinge on slen-
der circumstances. Sobieski hesitated
because Leopold, Austria's emperor,
first declined to address him as
''Your Majesty" But Sobieskfs hest
tation is said to have vanished when
he learned that the French ambassa-
dor had written to Louis XIV, who
rather hoped for the worst for Aus
tria, Don't trouble yourself, Sobieskl
is too fat to sit on a horse and fight.
The STAT man" rode his charger into
the thick of the fight, helping hew his
way to where the Turkish grand viz
Ter stood, and after the battle handed
one Of that dignitary's stirrups to an
aide, with the command, Take it to
the queen and tell her that he to whom
II belonged is defeated and slain"

ONLY ONE HOUSE
OF LEGISLATURE,
PLAN OF NORTON
Proposal introduced Merely
To Start DisCussion-
,Abo|ishment of Death
Penalty Proposed.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. l6-(Spe-
cial.)-Although he knew in advance
that 1t would have no chance of
adoption. Delegate Norton of Polk
county thrust into the hopper of
the constitutional convention Fri
day morning, a proposal providing
that the legislature shall in the flu
ture consist of only one house. He
did this to get the subject before the
people of the state and start them
to thinking about it.
If the convention rejects this
plan, steps may be taken to submit
it under the initiative and referen-
dunn. While the proposition involves
a radical departure that has not
yet been taken by any state in the
union. Mr.. Norton believes that it
embodies a practical and sensible
reform which in time will receive
the peoples approval.
An amendment was proposed this
evening in the Nebraska constitu-
tional convention to abolish capital
punishment. Its introduction fol-
lowed efforts that are being made
to save Cole and Garmmer, men
under death sentence, from electro
cution. >E

Drastic Industrial
Law to Stop Strikes
Passed in Kansas

Topeka, Kan, Jan. l6.-Bills es-
tablishing a court OF industrial rela-
tons in Kansas to have jurisdiction
over certain industries invested with
public interest and designed to pre-
vent strikes were passed by both
houses of the Kansas legislature
Friday. The house substituted its
bill for the senate measure, sending
the legislation back to the uppe,
body for concurrence. Il
The house substitute contains
three important amendments which
materially change the measure. The
first provision makes the sale or bar
ter of products an essential indus
try invested with public interest
and puts it under jurisdiction of the
court of industrial relations.
The second amendment provides
that no contract regarding labor OF
wages shall be legal until approved
by the court.
The third, which Is the most dras-
tic, provides that no contract shall
be recognized b. the industrial court
as legal which shuts out of employ
ment in any industry affected, non
union labor.
