Legislature Will
Adjourn in April,
Leaders Declare
Despite the Time Devoted to
the Socialists Trial, Laws
Are Being Enacted as
Rapidly as Last Year

ALBANY, Feb. 16-1n spite OF the
time taken up in the attack on the
five Socialist Assemblymen, the Legfs-
lature Is grinding out laws fully as
rapidly as did last year, and leaders
believe It will be ready to adjourn by
the middle Of April. In comparing the
work OF the present Legislature with
that Of 1919, It was pointed out, regard
must be had for the fact that the 1919
Legislature assembled January l, while
the present body did not meet until
January T.,
The statistics show that in the Sen
ate 444 bills had been introduced up
to the end Of the legislative week,
February IS, or only twenty less than
had been introduced on February 13,
1919. Six Senate bills have been passed,
as against eleven year ago. Twenty
bills have been recA4ved from the As
sembly, compared with forty-two in
1919. and four Assembly bills have
been passed in the Senate, as against
fifteen on the same date last year.
In the Assembly, 578 bills have been
introduced to date, compared with 63a
in 1919. Twenty-one Assembly bills
have been passed this year, and on the
corresponding date last year forty-one
had been passed. Six bills have been
received from the Senate, as against
eleven last year. The Assembly has

Soviet Troops Massed
Along Polish Border
Discussion of Threatened Raid
Oyershadows Peace Talk
i'm Warsaw

WARSAW, Feb. ia heavy conce~,
tration of Bolshevik troops is reported
at three points along the Polish from
tier, and discussion of the Soviet oper-
ations is overshadowing peace talk,
especially among Polish military au-
thorities. Nevertheless, discussions
looking to the opening of peace nego-
tiations, possibly in March, are con-
tinuing in Warsaw and Moscow.
In shaping the peace conditions to
be presented to the Soviet governme mt
Poland is assuming an attitude some
what similar to that taken BY the AL
armistice, Poland contending that it is
she who has been wronged and that
her war has been defensive one from
the beginning. The trainers of the
conditions maintain that the burden in
every particular should be placed upon
the Bolsheviki, who have waged war
of terror and aggression against
Poland's just rights.
According to members of the Diet
the military authorities have been con.
suited, and they insist upon the most
severe guarantees, both territorial and
otherwise, designed to safeguard Po-
land in the future against any possible
encroachment on the part Of the Boil
sheviki.
AS one method of gripping the BoI-
sheviki, the army leaders are expected
to insist that the thousands Of railway
cars and locomotives wrested from Po-
land when the former Cars army
withdrew to the east must be returned
or a sum euivalent to their value in
cluded in the indemnities. The return
of objects of art and books taken from
universities and private libraries and
various national keepsakes taken from
Poland at different times will be de-
manded, or, failing this, that their
value in gold be handed over. It is
planned to search the Polish records
for 100 years back and demand restitu-
tion by the Bolsheviki of the valuable
historic objects taken during this time.

ger Of Governments Fall

Arthur Gleason, who returned to
America fortnight ago, after spending
more than a year in England, spoke
yesterday evening on "The Industrial
Reconstruction of Great Britain" be-
fore the Church of the Ascension
forum. Mono Of the vestry of the
church was present. nor was the rec
tor, the Rev. Df. Percy stickney Grant; Gran I;
The speaker said that there would
be no attempt at industrial reconstruc-
ton in England until after peace had
come to Europe and it had been made
certain that German labor was not to
be penalized for all time.
British labor demanded definite
policy regarding Russia. It demanded
war, or else peace, and no further half
way measures. There is no chance, he
asserted, Of Bolshevism creeping into
England, as it is ridiculed by the
laboring classes as heartily as by othe
strata Of society.

CALLING cox 70 ACCOUNT.

Candidate Cox has been called by
the senate comittee to naak,s good his.

q fifteen million dollar fund and that

titled with the proof Of the serious
charges Cox is quoted SIS having
made.
He win have no such proof.
There's a reason. No such sums have
been contemplated or attempted. The
first heard of great funds for cam
paign purposes was Of ten million
fund to be raised by the democrats.
The republicans have limited the
amount Of assistance one man may
give to the campaign fund to $1,000
which is not an excessive sum as the
upset contribution.
Will Mr.. Cox treat the senate COM
mittee as he did the representative
Of the law liz Ohio and tell his politi-
cal chauffeurs to drive orr Or will
he come before the com nittee with
any evidence he may have and Lack
ing evidence supporting his charges
made from a public platform make
equally public apology?
The senate committee is entirely
justified in calling on Mr.. Cox for
proof Of his slahderous assertions.
The time should be past when cam
didate for the presidency can make
assertion of criminal action on the
part OF his opponents arid set away
with it untouched and unquestioned.

That the state fair is to be en-
barassed and injury by the strike of
Des Moines street car employees
seems unavoidable. Fares have been
raised to the company and tho wage
demanded has been met for the men
under court order. Now the war is
upon the question Of whether or not
the retroactive pay shall be paid i'm
mediately. The men demand tho

The company refuses to construe the
court order as commanding i'm

Consequently 1t looks as tho the
cars would not run unless some sort
OF a settlement shall be made at
once. Dss Moines newspapers fore
cast that the strike will 80 on. Judge

l. Are animals self-conscfous?
2. Does the vireo often sing?
3. Can fish be taught not to eat
certain other fish?
Answers to Yesterday's Questions.
1. Have horses a sense Of direc-
tion7
President Roosevelt told me Of q
horse he had during his ranch days
that returned to les old home, sew
enty miles away, by taking direct
line across the prairie, swimming
rivers In it's course. How did the
horse know the way? Wild animals
probably have a sense Of direction
that is enfeebled or lost in domestic
animals--a sense that civilized man
has lost also. but that Is keen In
barbarians.
2. Can a fly-catcher catch flies as
soon as 1t Is Matched?
It Is said that the fly-catcher no
sooner breaks the egg than it will
snap at and catch fly. However
when the young fly-catcher comes
out of the shell 1t can neither see
nor lift its head. It's fly-catching
does not begin until 1t is fully
fledsed, and than it begins instinc
lively; 1T is prompted>to this BY its
organization and its inherited hab
It's.
8. Why have flowers color and
perfume?
The new botany teaches that the
flowers have color and perfume to
attract the insects to aid in their
fertilization--a need so paramount
with all plants, because plants that
are fertiliAed by aid OF the wind
have very inconspicuous flowers.

UNREST AND THE Big GAME, A"

Somebody said that golf is q state
state of mind" That is true mostly.
True also Of all games and enter
prises and activities. The golfer
must concentrate on his ball, the
billiardist on his stroke, the business
man on his business. the student on
his studies.
The desire to do a thing is the
essential element Of it's doing. A
champion race horse is made by two
,hinss. conformation and the desire
to so fast and to win. Given the best
breeding and completest structural
adaptation to speed without the
driving desire the Thoroughbred is
beaten off by cold blooded horse.

sire to accomplish. Lacking that
there is no accomplishment.
