WILLING TO GO HALF WAY
Little Jimmy's Answer to Leading
Question Distinctly In Nature OF
Compromise.

Aunt Marie was very good, indeed,
to her five-year-old nephew. James.
She gave him everything his little
heart desired. But still she was often
inclined to tease him and whenever
he showed resentment she tcased him
still further by threatening to take
away something she had given him.
The other night she began her
usual teasing, taking for the subject
herself and her charms. "Why, jim
ME thinks I'm a WONDER" and she
turned to little James provokingly and
asked: "Don't you think I'm pretty
Don't you think I'm good?"
The little fellow was disturbed. He
wanted to tell the truth, and he also
wanted to keep auntie's favor.
Finally he found his tongue. "Well,
do fink you're pretty good" he said
truthfully.

EVIDENTLY HE WASN'T READY
CoIored Driver Didn't Wait to See
Who Il Was That Had a Desire
for Him.

While visiting in Nashville, Tenn,
my ventriloquist son and I hired a car
and driver, for sightseeing tour,
writes correspondent. In leaving the
city we passed private cemetery
where the gravestones were close to
the road, and noticed that our driver
put on speed and rolled his eyes
toward the spooky-looking plot.
I was startled myself to hear an un-
earthly groan come seemingly from
beneath the nearest stone, but turned
in time to watch my son grinning be-
fore the colored driver put on a burst
Of speed that nearly threw US out.
Then came another groan that seemed
to come from the seat next the driver,
and a deep voice that said: boy, !
want you"
That was just before we went over
an embankment, and our driver lit run
ming in the road. It was an hour after
he disappeared in the distance before
we caught a ride back to the city.

President Affixes Signature To
Measure In Congress For
Ten Years.
SEVEN OTHERS SIGNED
Several Measures Fail to Secure Ap'
provai Of Executive and Do Not
Become Laws-Announceme
From White House.

Washington-The waterpower devel'
opment bill, 10 years in the making,
finally has become law.
Announcement that President VIII
son had signed the measure prior to
June II, was made at the White House.
At the same time it was announced,
he had failed to sign the joint resolu-
tion, repeating most of the wartime
laws and the Underwood resolution,
providing for negotiations with Can
ada relative to the embargo on, the
shipment of wood pulp to the United
States.
Another bill which failed to receive
the Presidents approval would have
authorized the War department to
tarnsfer motor equipment to the De-
partment of Agriculture for road con-
struction and other work.
Besides the waterpower measure,
the President signed seven bills,
passed in the closing days of the re-
cent session of Congress. They in
cluded an act authorizing the enlist
ment in the naval and army service Of
non.English speaking aliens, an act
paying for set of false teeth, and five
bridge bills.
No explanation of the delay in an
nouncing the Presidents approval of
the waterpower measure was made.
The Presidents action was made
known in the following statement:
"The President having been advised
by the attorney general in a formal
opinion that the adjournment of Con-
gress does not deprive him of the 10
days allowed by the Constitution for
the consideration of a measure, but
only, in case of disapproval, of the op-
portunity to return the measure with
his reasons to the house in which it
originated, has signed bills enumerated
here, each within the 10 days. period,
Of course. The bills not signed failed
to become law under the usual prac-
tice."

MINIMUM WAGE FAILS

After five or six years of hard work,
Congressman Nolan of San Francisco,
a trade unionist, secured the passage
through the house of his bill provid'
ing that no federal employee should
be paid less than So day. As the
dollar had shrunk one-half in buying
power meantime, his bill today means
that the !, lowest wage paid shall be
$780,, as measured in the dollars of
the year 1914. It didn't sound radical.
Senator Hiram Johnson succeeded
in getting the senate to pass the bill,
with only few amendments, few
days ago. It went to conference, was
agreed upon, and came back for adop-
tion. Then Senator Underwood and
Senator Hoke Smith served notice
that they would talk it to death.
After six hours attempt to put it
through Senator Kenyon gave up in
despair and the bill died for this ses-
sion.

GRoNNAs FRIENDS DESERT
On the day that Senator Gronna
was definitely known to have burned
his political bridges and cast in his
lot with the enemies of the farmers
movement, he had been greatly en-
couraged in his decision by the Lodge
steering committee Of the senate.
His cold storage control bill had been
favorably reported and was to be
passed. The packer control bill was
to be reported and passed. The SEN
ate was to pass his bill offering further
federal loans to farmers. It looked,
from his point of vantage, as though
he had suddenly become the leader Of
the upper branch of congress.
But alas! Sober second thought
made it clear that this was only a
humorous gesture on the part of the
standpatters who control the senate
program. Adjournment day has ar
rived, but the Gronna legislation is
still far from final enactment. Pack
or legislation is abandoned until next
winter, when the whole fight must be
made over again on the basis Of new
political and industrial conditions. II
any packer legislation is passed, be-
tween December and March 4 next
it will be because congress has been
warned by the November election not
to delay longer, and it will not be due
to any moral forces exerted now. On
the basis of the present moments bal
ance of power in congress the packers
stand to win.
Cold storage legislation was official
ly pronounced dead this week when
the house and senate conferees failed
to agree on any compromise of the
bills passed by their respective
branches.
Convicted that Gronna has turned
against the only element in his state
that could return him here, the old
guard G. o. P. politicians have decid-
ed that he must now look out for
himself. They wish him we'll in his
attempts to break up. the farmers

WASHINGTON. = IL. C.-COuSr0SS
has enacted just four measures of
Importance to the people of the
whole country, during the session
just closed. It was to have been
known as the reconstruction con-
gress; it will be known as the special
privilege congress.
Its four achievements are the
Esch-C ummins transportation act,
which returned the railroads to pri-
vate control under guarantees which
will cost the public treasury at least
half billion dollars in deficits of
operation in the first six months fol-
lowing their return on March 1; the
Greene-Jones merchant marine act,
providing for the sale of the $3,000,-
100000 worth Of government-owned
merchant ships at bargain to pri-
vate shipping corporations; the Smoot
mineral lands leasing act, and the
Esch waterpower leasing act.
These four bills remove from pub
lie hands the control Of rail and water
transportation, the development Of
coal, oil and mineral fertilizer and
the development of waterpower.

NO RECONSTRUCTION
Nothing has been done in the way
of bonus for the 100000 former
soldiers and sailors of the Great war.
:. Nothing has been done to bring
down by definite legislative measures
the steadily rising cost of living.
Nothing has been done to restore
the right of free press and free as
semblage, or to curtail the lawless acts
of Attorney General Palmer.
Nothing has been done to prevent
q sugar famine or corner that is ex-
pected to send the price still higher.
Nothing has been done to provide
credit to farmers in order that pos
sible famine conditions in this coun-
try by 1922 may be averted.
Nothing has been done to legalize
farmer cooperation.
Nothing has been done to put rail
transportation on sound working
basis, although every industry is now
facing paralysis because the railroads
are in collapse.
: Nothing has been done to bring
about better relations with the Rus
sian republic through lifting the pres
emit illegal blockade. - -
Nothing has been done to remove
the menace to national welfare that
is embodied in: the resistance of the
United States Steel corporation and
other big financial groups to the
right of their employees to organize
and to bargain collectively.

STEVENSON THE GREAT

Some 10 d:ys before the Joint COM
report, woman who has had many
years of experience in seeking labor
legislation from state and municipal
lawmakers, called upon Congressman
Stevenson of that commission. She
came to ask, on behalf of the Nation
al Consumers league, whether any,
thing could be done to hasten the pos
tai salary matter, so that the veteran
letter carriers and postoffice clerks
would not continue to resign at the
rate of hundreds a day.
Steenerson did not get up to greet
her. He is some six feet three or four
in height, and eight terms in congress
can make a man feel his own impor-
tance So he stayed where he was.
His coat was off, and his feet were on
his desk. The coat remained of. The
two feet stayed up. BY careful maneu-
vers, his visitor could occasionally
get a glimpse past the two broad soles
at the forbidding visage Of their own
er.
She stated her errand, appealing
for the pastoffice employees, and ask
ing whether her organization could do
anything to help them get the neces-
sary raise in pay.
.Why don't you stay away from
here, then?' demanded the chivalr0us
chairman. "Why not keep out Of
here? It's not your business, is it?
You people come in here and make
us talk to you, and then want to know
why we don't make our report.
:. He became so indignant at the
little woman's ehrontery in coming to
ask him why the IS months delay
had taken place that he finally pulled
both feet clear of his desk. And upon
realizing this disaster, Steenerson
whirled his office chair clear around,
so that his broad back was turned to
the meddlesome representative OF the
public. -,
He kept his back turned until she
had walked out. ~..-
