You have made no mention of them

Yet I've often mentioned firemen
Always too in glowing terms
But | can't find words to give them
Half the praises that they earn.
Alert and nimble. brave and fearless
Strong of body, heart and mind
And to search the whole world over
Not better lot you'd find.
See them as they go in action
Thoughts of danger, fear. forgot
For in all their hard fought battles
They have never failed us yet.

CONGRESSIONAL MILL
 STARTS ON BIG CREST
By L. c. Martin.

(United Pres Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 6.-The final ses- sion of the sixty-sixth congress began at noon today. When it ends on March 3 next, many of the members who greeted each other today will re- turu to private life along with Wood row Wilson.
 This short session has been looked on in prospect as rather routine ses- sion, devoted largely to passage of the fourteen appropriation bills. But in- dlcatlons are that it will be crowded with other important business. Not only will the mass of routine be tre- mendous, but there is to be consider able foundation-laying for the Sixty seventh congress, when the Republi- cans, Tn complete control of both legis- latlVe and executive branches of the government, purpose an ambitious pro- gram.
 When congress assembled, interest centered in President Wilson's final message, which probably will be read tomorrow. Both houses, but particu. larly the senate, wanted to hear wheth. CT Wilson, defeated at the solemn ref erendum" on the league of nations covenant at last months election, would indicate his intentions with re- gard to the treaty. It will make slight difference what President Wilson sug- gests, however, as Republican plans for handling the treaty as already mapped out. The extra session next March or April is to handle that, un- less the unexpected should happen, and Wilson should send the treaty back now, with an acceptance of senate re- SerVatiOnS.
 Here is some of the work which this session will be called on to dispose of:
 Fourteen appropriation bills.
 Reapportionment of representation in the House of Representatives based on the 1920 census.
 A national budget bill.
 A bill to amend the Volstead pro- hibition enforcement law to make pro- hibition less stringent.
 A bill to make the Volstead law more stringent and to give the prohibition commissioner a bigger force, more money and wider powers.
 A demand for sweeping investiga- tion of prohibition enforcement.
 Some measure of tax revision, al though the main program of tax and tariff revision is to be undertaken at the next session, according to present plans of Republican leaders.
 A soldier bonus bill.
 Measures to lower the cost of living.

HARDING PLEA
 TO CONGRESS-
 FOR HARMONY
(By United Press>

tDS CIlileo
 Washington, Dec. G. The two houses of congress convened today at noon.
 President-elect Harding was the magnet which drew attention in the senate wing of the capital. Crowds greeted him as he entered the senate building and his arrival in the cham Der caused a demonstration among spectators. The uproar lasted for several minutes while the president elect smiled and took his seat.
 Speaker Gillet let fall his gavel in the house of representative just at noon. Vice President Marshall called the senate to order few minutes later and the short session of con- gress was formally launched on it's course, crowded with much legisla- tion of great importance. The full membership of both the senate and house was present, and the galleries were packed with spectators.s Long lines of citizens waited outside to gain admission.
 At 12:15, Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts asked MT. Marshall to give Senator Harding a few minutes in which to adress the senate. Senator Harding responded and advanced to the rostrum. His brief address was an appeal to the senate to make the three remaining months of the Wilson administration fruitful in results and not barren. He declared it was un- necessary for either congress or the executive branch of the government to surrender to the other. He de- clared the senate and the present ex- ecutive should display more co-opera- tion in governmental activities.
 Senator Hefing of Alabama and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia were sworn in as members of the senate.
 The senate adopted a resolution mo- tifying the president and the house of representatives that it was ready for business. Adjournment was taken at 1920.

ELAINE CASES REVERSED ON
 RACE ISSUES

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Hold- ing that race discrimination was shown by the sheriff of Phillips county in refusing to summon negroes on the trial juries, the Arkansas supreme court today reversed and re- manded for another trial the cases of the six negroes con victed and sentenced to death for participation in the Elaine riots.
 The court had previously af- firmed the judgment of the Phillips county circuit court, today decision being rendered after a motion for rehearing had been field.
 The decision of the supreme court sets a new precedent in criminal jurisprudence in this state. The exclusion of ne groes from jury service has been a custom in Arkansas since reconstruction days.
