The presidents of the local Mission ary societies, Mrs. NJ. D. Fuller and Mrs. J. B. Aldrich, are requesting that today from 2.30 to the hour of prayer be observed, which is the interdenOfni- national call for prayer based on the theme The World to Christ We Bring. This is to be observed by the Wom- ans Missionary societies represented in the council of women for home missions and the federation of Wofn- ans boards of foreign missions of North America. On account of so much illness and bad walking 1t was not. considered advisable to call a meeting at any particular place but that the hour of prayer be observed at each home.

exanp]@. Of thrifty and economical gov- ernrneht.' Tfere had been d profiigate expenditure during the war which to some extent was inevitable, he said, but there would have been less if capable business men had been called to Washington instead of leaving authority in the hands of group of men quite untrained in business affairs and distrustful of all who had achieved business Success"
 Officials and agents Of the present administration, he asserted, have ac- quired the habit Of spending public money and don't know when to stop. Three things can be done, he explain ed. to bring about a reform.
 First, establishment of an effective budget system. under which the gov eminent will be obliged to start with it's resources in order to determine it's expenditures.
 Second, to secure an executive de partment which will stop urging and q Congress that will stop appropriat- ing money for things which need not to be done now so expensively, or need not to done at all.
 Third, to revise the system of taxation, and to make some serious changes in it indicated by experiences of its effects. The review of taxation will involve the tariff. Our new tariff law must be framed so that American industry will not be ruined, especially so that the manufacture of things which the war has shown to be neces- sary for the Independence of the cour1- try shall not be stopped, and it must be framed so as not to destroy the export trade of Europe, which directly or indirectly will enable Europe to pay her debts and remain solvent"
 Russian Bolshevism, Mir. Root de- clared, has set upon a definite under taking to destroy all existing demo- cratic governments and it's missionAr- ies have made some headway in the United States. When we find Belshe- vik missionaries melting criminal overthrow of t%e government. it is lawful and sensible, he argued, to pun- ish and deport them:
 "The right of free speech does not include the right to incite crime" ht explained. "Yet we must be careful not to overlook the distinction. Let there be fair hearing, and let no ex- pression of mere differing opinion however radical or distasteful bt punished"
 The chief means of meeting the Bol- shevik assault, he asserted was "Am. ericanizAtion" We must not confins it to the foreign born, he stated, 1; must extend to all children in the schools, and to that end to teachers in the schools, not by any means ex- cluding the professors in our colleges

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Bitter parti- san debate on the fraud charges against Senator Newberry, republican, of Michigan, took up much of the sem ate's time today, as yesterday. precip- itated by Senator Sherman, fepubli- can, Illinois, continuing his attacks on Henry Ford, the defeated democratic candidate.
 While the debate was running it's course, Senator Watson, republican, Of Indiana, called a meeting for. Monday of the sub committee appointed to re- count the ballots in the contested cleo tior.

 Senator Sherman included the mem bers of Mr. Ford's family, the automo- bile which he manufactures and all his activities in his vigorous attack. He declared MT. Ford has furthefed his financial and political fortunes by en- listing the services of the government.
 The Illinois senator was taken sharply to task by Senators Stanley of Kentucky and Wolcott of Delaware, Both democrats, who declared he had violated senate decorum, the latter charging that Mir Sherman had been addressing jury in MichiganN for which he would have been in contempt of court if done in that state.
 Senator Townsend republican col league of Senator Newberry, injected a new element of bitterness by declar- ing that while the truth was being learned about Michigan he would like
