Different Speakers.

I'm afraid you won't do for u.s."
said the editor, controlling his tenn
per with an effort, as he eyed the new
reporter coldly.
"why not sir?" asked the reporter
in surprise.
"Well, you said you had had con-
siderable experience as a political re-
porter"
$50 have" retorted the scribe.
"Then why on earth did you make
use of such unjournalistic language
in this report. You said that Mr..
William Blank addressed the meet
ing"
"Well. isn't that right?"
Fright |" the editors voice was torn
with scorn "It's all wrong. One
would imagine that the meeting was
in support Of our candidate instead Of
the opposition"
"what difference does that make?
How should have"

While President Wilson is meditat-
ing what course he will pursue as
result Of the failure of the Senate to
ratify the peace treaty he negotiated,
the Senate leaders are proceeding with
their plans to put through the Knox
resolution declaring peace by repeal
ing the declaration Of war.
The Senate has confirmed the NOM
ination of Bainbridge Colby as secre-
tary of state.
With view to protecting the ma

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has announced that it has re
ceived acceptances from more than
800 railroad corporations declaring
their intention to operate under the
guarantee provisions of the transporta-
tion act. Fewer than dozen lines
have thus far refused the income
guarantee, and many of these. Off
cials said were small corporations.
In the absence of any authoritative
prediction Of what President Wilson
would do with the unratified treaty,
the impression gained in diplomatic
circles that the first step probably
would be notification to the other
powers that the Senate had refused
ratification.
