BY a vote of 36 to ID, the Uni

Kenyon's Americanization bill
which carries an appropriation
of more than six million dollars
for use in stimulating the teach
ing of English to aliens as we'll as
to Americans, the purpose to ELI
inmate i~lliteracy and promote
Americanism. Replying to oppon-
ents of the bill, Senator Kenyon
said, year after year your Sen
ators have come here and asked
appropriations to fight every sort
of bug and disease. Now, when an
earnest effort is made to fight
the bug of Bolshevism, you raise
a storm of protest and charge that
the miserable hand of Federal
government is being put on the
shoulders and into the pockets OF
the people. While our school sys-

The epidemic of influenza is
prevalent in many parts of the
country and at places it is SER
ious. Health officers in the afflic
ted sections are making efforts to
prevent further spread of the di-
sease. So far, however, but very
few cases have been reported in
Granger County. But now is the
time to take action. After the d.
sease is among the people it will
be difficult to stop. Public gath
erings should not be allowed. Loaf
ing in stores and places of pleas
ure should not be permitted. We
do not want a repetition of last
years experience with this dread
disease.

Republicans will hardly accept the
challenge flung to them by Senator
King, Of Utah, to insert plank in
their Chicago platform declaring for
the repeal of the eFderal Reserve Act,
despite occasional criticisms from
members Of that party Of the fiscal
policy given to the country by the
democratic party. Democrats would
welcome the opportunity of having
such an issue presented to the peo-
pie, Senator King told republican
members of the Senate. Contrasting
the old fiscal policy which the republi-
can party kept fastened on the nation
for forty years, Senator King men
toned the several disastrous panics
which rpcked the financial instituf
lions of the country to their founda-
tions and declared that but for the
reforms which the democratic party
inaugurated soon after it came into
power, the first six months Of the
World War would have bankrupted
the country. It is easier to criticise
than to construct; the republicans
condemn, but *hey suggest nothing
better.

ventriloQuIsto.

VentriloQuism is the art Of produc-
ing tones and words without any mo-
ton Of the lips, so that the nearer Of
ten refers the sound to some other
place. The ventriloquist uses no in
strument, nor does the art depend
upon any peculiar structure of the or
gans Of the voice, but upon dexterity.
The name is founded upon the mis-
taken superstition that the voice pro.
ceeds from the stomach. The art Of
the ventriloquist consists mainly in
taking deep inhalations Of breath, and
then allowing it to escape slowly, the
sounds, Of the voice being modified by
the muscles of the throat and palate.

j Washington-The Interstate Com.

step toward breaking the freight
blockade. Telegraphic appeals were
sent to all state railway and public
service commissions urging them to
join with the government in lifting the
burden, while the commissions force
Of inspectors began to get accurate
data respecting conditions at critical
points.
Members Of the commission recog.
nized that the present crisis would pro.

gency clauses must measure up to the
claims of their staunchest supporters.

+: With increasing complaints from
shippers and requests for assistance
from the railroads themselves. the
commission is understood to have de-
termined to 90 into the freight tie-up
with hammer and tongs. Officials,
however, urged patience. since it may
require days and even weeks to start
anything like resumption Of normal
transportation service. In it's first at
tempts at freeing the maze Of rail
equipment the commission probably
will deal with local. situations in the
various cities through individual roads.
This was expected to last. however,
only until general scheme can be
worked out by which prtorities and
embargoes can be employed to re-
strain the onrusbtng stream of com.
modities waiting at every station.
Further suggestions Of the railroads
were given the commission at confer.
ences with representatives of the rail-
roads and shippers organization OIL.

developed to the danger point, repre-
sentatives said, and they proposed that
the commission establish a general

It was keeping in constant touch with
every phase Of the situation through
it's own representatives and in coop.

lean Railway associations car service
has turned over to the commission it's
figures on the Car supply.
Empty cars are now being sent to

called upon to give up it's coal cars for
transportation in the East.

Want SIPS, 100000 at Once To
Buy Equipment.
Needed To Satisfy Immediate De
mands-Would Relieve Acute
Freight Congestion.

MISUNDERSTANDING use of a
part of the governments revolving
fund for the purchase Of rail equip
ment, was suggested to the Interstate
Commerce commission by the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives to aid in
relieving the present accute freight
congestion. At the same time, the
Senate adopted a resolution by Sen.
ator Reed, Missouri, calling upon the
commission for Information as to what
steps it had taken toward breaking the
traffic jam.
Tho executives recommended that
$125, 100000 be set aside for purchase
Of equipment, especially cars to meet
the insistent demands Of freight. Each
road would be asked for a statement
Of equipment needs and loans appor-
toned pro rata. The executives urged
the commission to act at its earliest
opportunity because of the car short
age.
Program Outlined.
The executives offered also the fol.
lowing program for disposition Of the
remainder Of the $500, 900:
A temporary reserve for judgments
and claims against the Railroad admin
istration on the roads account, $780,
100000.
Appropriation for the short line rail-
roads. $4,000, 00C
A reserve to meet maturing obliga.
lions, $5O.O0O,OOO.
Appropriation for additions and bet.
terments which will promote the
movement of cars, $73,0OO,000.
If maturing obligations of the vari-
GUS roads do not require full use of
the $50,000,O00 set aside for that pur-
pose, the remainder should be turned
into the fund for the purchase of
equipment, it was added.

The extent of the increase was not

rises or falls. He said wage increases
will be passed on to the public in in
creased passenger and freight rates.
Some part of the new demands by
