ASKS PROSECUTION
 OF PAPER MAKERS UNDER FEDERAL LAW
Senate Committee Charges Manufacturers With Un-
 just PractiSeS s.

Washington, June 7.-Holding that scarcity of news prinnt paper which has handicapped newspapers to be "morc the result of artificial ob- structions than of natural laws" the senate committee which investigated the paper situation today recom- mended that the department of jus tice institute proceedings under the SbA1man and Clayton acts against paper manufacturers.
 Manufacturers were charged with Unjust, illegal and discriminatory" practices. Present prices were held by the committee to be excessive and unwarranted."
 Other recommendations made in- clude:
 Establishment of federal news print board "to supervise the manu- fracture and distribution of print paper" should government efforts to maintain a reasonable price fail.
 Amendment of the Lever food con trol act to penalize profiteering in news print paper.
 Imposition of an excise tax of ten cents on Sunday newspapers weigh ing more than 1.28 pounds copy so as to limit such editions to eighty pages until an adequate supply is secured
 Appropriation of $100,O0o to ex- pertinent with substitutes for wood pulp.
 Establishment of one cent pound on sheet print paper to any part oi thehcountry when sent by parcels post without increasing the present limit of seventy pounds provided un- der the postal regulations.
 The committe also recommendee that consideration be, given by the government to the establishment of { news print paper mill to supply tht governments needs with any sur plus paper to be sold to small con SumerS.

It looks as though the coming elec~ tion will be fought out on the league of nations issue.
 Neither in the republican party nor in the democratic party is there man strong enough to win as an individ- ual. If the republicans elect their man it probably will be because the republicans will pledge themselves to do something that majority of the people want. If the democrats elect their man it will be for the same req son. On most matters there is no great difference in the stands the two parties will take. Plans designed to lead the public to believe that war will be made on the high cost of liv- ing, calling for plans on industrial relations, and even on the Mexican question will be pretty much alike. We believe that if the republicans come out for ratification at once of the league treaty with certain reser- vations they will be difficult to de- feat. If they, as a party, adopt the stand of Senators Johnson and Borah they will find it difficult to escape defeat.
 ea,,.%1 Nf hn vNln league treaty ratified. They want it not so much for the good that a league of nations might accomplish
 but they want it because they need sorely the economic and industrial calm it's ratification should bring.
 President Wilson and his adherents have blocked ratification by insisting upon league-treaty just as it was brought from Versailles. The John
 son. Borah group has blocked ratifi' cation because it wanted no league al all. The reservationists presented the best solution, but the pro-treaty ad- vocattes and the irreconciliables de- feated them and kept the country in its unreal and unnatural state of war If the republicans will make thei'
 race on the promise that they fill ratify the treaty with mild reserva- tions they have great hopes of win ming, unless the irreconciliables bolt and defeat their party as they have defeated and denied the wishes of the American peoeple.
 If the republicans are swung into the Johnson channel and oppose the league and treaty utterly, the demo- crats ought to carry everything be- fore them, for the public wants final action with regard to Germany And if they cannot have treaty with Versailles document than none at all And if they cannot have treaty with reservations they will accept the Yer sailles document in preference to none at all.
 It is problem for the republican party on which their defeat or sue cess hangs. It is situation that is of great benefit to the democrats.

Galveston Placed Under Martial
 Law by Hobby

Austin, Texas, June 7-Galveston was placed under martial law, effect i've at noon today, in a proclamation issued by Governor W. P. Hobby at 10: 50 o'clock this morning, because of freight congestion there resulting from strike of longshoremen.
 Governor Hobby's proclamation of martial law at Galveston followed a long telephonic conference with Ad- jutant General Cope, who has been watching the strike situation at Gal weston since Friday.
 Brigadier General Cope reported that state intervention was warrant ed. General J. F. Wolters was in structed b ythe Governor to take command of Texas national guards men already mobilized in several cities, and to order their immediate entrainment for the gulf city. Five hundred state troops, it was expect ed would be at Galveston by night and 1000 by tomorrow morning.
 No disorders have been reported it was announced since the strike began, but conditions had "reached propor- tions affecting the business interests and material welfare of Texas and the rights of citizens'
 He said congestion of freight and other conditions at the gulf port fare clearly violative of the constitution and laws of this state and ordered that troops establish military rule in the city of Galveston, port of Calves ton, all water fronts and bay, includ- in gthe causeway and Virginia points of the mainland of Galveston, Pelli- can Island and Portions of Bolivar Peninsula in Galveston County.

of the food control commission and including fuel and clothing under it's authority, and the second for pro- vfding penalty for profiteering-- have since been carried into effect. With the exception of the cold storage bill, which passed the senate yester-
 day, having previously passed the house, no final action on the other four-as to regulating cold storage, marking stored articles with the date of their receipt, and stamping all articles in interstate commerce with the price realized by the producer, licensing corporations engaged in in- terstate commerce on conditions pre- venting exhorbitant profits. and fed eral control of security issues to pre- vent stock watering and so forth, has been taken in the nine months that have elapsed since the recommenda- tions were made.
 But the time of congress has been wasted and the pages of the congress sional Record cluttered with millions of words of abuse and vituperation at the man who has made some real practical suggestions look ing towards the relief of distress ing conditions. There has been enough and too much of this already and it is to be hoped that the session just closed marked the high tide of legis- lative inaction and worthlessness. Let us urge and pray that henceforth there will be an ebb of activities di- rected solely and alone toward parti- san objectives.

Ten Years Nun3erTh Hi$SYears

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that. <"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
