House Passes Railroad Bill.

shington.-Ignoring the protests
of organized labor and farm organiza-
tons, the house, by vote of $50 to
80, adopted the conference report on
the bill providing for the government
of the railroads after their return to
their owners ON March l. With the
leaders of opposing organizations
seated in the galleries, watching the
votes of the members under threat to
defeat those who refused to follow
their wishes, the motion to recommit
was rejected almost as decisively. The
vote to recommit was 22S against III
in favor
Republican leaders entered the fight
fearful that the combined opposition
of labor and the farmers would COM
mand such a large following as to
make the outcome doubtful. At the
last moment owners of narrow-gauge
railroads, which receive no guarantee
in the bill, joined their forces with the
other two and pleaded earnestly with
members of Congress to defeat the
measure.
In the opinion of those favoring the
legislation the position of organized la
Dor, its alleged arbitrary and defiant
manner in the last few days, made it
impossible for many members who op-
posed the bill to maintain their prefer
cree. The attitude of organized labor
was also weak because originally its
opposition was aimed almost entirely
against the anti-strike provision of the
bill This was eliminated in the con-
ference committee, and then labor,
dominated by the government owner
ship and the Plum plan advocates,
urged the continuance of the roads
under government operation two years
longer AS this issue could not be
settled by the pending bill because the
President had determined to return the
roads to their owl ers on March l,
the. opposition of labor did not figure
greatly in the situation.

LATEST EVENTS
AT WASHINGTON

President Wilson signed the oil land
leasing bill, making provisions for
the leasing of government owned oil
and mineral lands to prospectors on
royalties. The bill, upon becoming
law, opens up large oil and mineral
lands and large numbers of claims
are expected to be filed immediately.
President Wilson took hand in the
bitter ratification fight in the Okla
homa legislature. He urged ratifca-
ton.
Prohibition leaders in Congress are
alarmed over the anti-prohibition
sentiment spreading throughout the
country.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. when writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Reluctant Veto of Budget.

81 reluctantly vetoed the budget bill
passed by the last session of the Con-

lection.
1.-THE House of Representatives sub

meet this objection. In the revised
form / believe that the bin coupled
with action already taken by the Con-
gress to revise its rules and procedure,
furnishes the foundations for an effec-
tive national budget system.
81 earnestly hope, therefore, that
one of the first steps taken by the
present session of Congress will be to
pass the budget bill.
"The nations finances have shown
marked improvement during the past
