Finnis Garrett of Tennessee. the
brilliant young statesman who leads
the house Democrats in the absence
of Ir. Kitchin, is parliamentary
ian Of the first rank, an able de-
batter, a deep logician-in short a
leader of real strength-but he is
also at home in prodding the Re-
pubhcans with short-arm jabs that
are frequently touched with hui
NOR. The other day the house
passed the bill to extend the pro-
visions Of the Emergency Tar
if Act" in the course of discus
sion Mr.. Garrett said:
Mr.. Chairman. for almost three
years now the Republican party
has been in complete control of
both the legislative branches of the
government. For eight months,
practically. that party has been
in control of both the executive
and the legislative branches. and
this measure this afternoon is the
substance of its three years of eff
fort and labor, to-wit a measure to
extend the life Of a measure which
even when it was passed was a joke
and which has since become the
universal laughingstock Of the re-
public.

guished philosopher. Abe Martin.

with a world in turmoil. con-
fronted by conditions the most Sc
rious that ever confronted the hu-
man race; with our own nation
torn by dissensicn and threatened
by economic ills, the most serious
perhaps in the nations history, we
find this party, this party of proud
traditions, this party that has had
it's great leaders. this party which
has been wont to boast that it pos
sessed the only ability along the
line of statecraft to be found in any
party. Stumbles and staggers
through almost three years of leg

months Of complete power without

Washington. Oct. 22.-Every day

places where personal and political
pull are most effective. Here is
sample from the salary list of the
Federal Reserve Bank in New
York. The first column gives the
salaries received Under the Wilson
administration, while the second
column gives present salaries. OF
course it would be ridiculous to as
sert that these men whose salaries
were increased 500 to 600 per cent
would not have remained with the
bank at increases Of 100 or 200 per
cent. Be it remembered that every
salary grab of this kind inevitably
passes on to the taxpayers and con-

DIED IN FLAMES
Four Children Perish in New
York Tenement Fire.
Seven Others Badly Injured Be-
fore Rescue Arrived.

New York, Aug. 5.-Four children
were burned to death and seven other
persons were seriously injured in an
early morning fire which swept three
tenement houses in the Bronx this
morning.
The dead are: Victoria Corsine, IA;
Harry Corsine, 8; Edna Corsine, 10;
William Corsine, 5. All were children
of Julio Corsine. who lived on the top
floor of the tenement in which the
fire started. Corsine escaped.
Andrew Taylor, his wife and their
four children, who lived on the third
floor of the same tenement. suffered
severe burns. The youngest child.
Herbert, is reported to be dying in a
hospital from inhaled fumes Rose
Fitzpatrick, who lived with her fam
lily on the fourth floor of this tene-
ment. also was severely burned.
The fire spread quicl ly from the
tenement in which it started to three
adjoining tenements and when fire
men reached the scene they found
more than a score of panic stricken
women and children crowded before
the windows crying for aid. Aerial
ladders were run up and firemen be-
gan bringing the scantily clothed wo-
men and children down to safety.

which is now under way in Douglas
county, the road cannot be travelled
thruout its lenght, at the present time.
There is a gap between the finished
and the unfinished portions just east
of the Douglas county line. and the
paving which has been completed,
ends five miles into Douglas county.
From that point, the road to Law
renee has been graded. but the paw
ing operations al under way and
are impossible.
For these reasons there are peces-
sary two detours on the road to Law
renee, from Topeka. One of these de-
tours will only be necessary for tho
next thirty days the other probably
will be necessary rntil the entire road
is completed.
The first detour is made when the
paved road turns south on the county
line. Where the road turns south, the
motorist must turn to the north, and
follow the county line for a half a
mile, then turn right, to the east, for
one mile, and finally south for one
mile, back to the paving. It is the
return trip to the south, which is the
least desirable portion of the detour
The detour strikes the paved road
again at big Springs" after negotiat-
ing rather difficult hill.
Road Not Seasoned.
The first detour is made necessary
because of the paving from the point
marked "a" on the sketch, to the
point marked 3D. while it has been
completed, is not yet seasoned suffi-
| ciently to permit of it's being travelled
The curing PERIOD for this stretch
will continue for another thirty days
after which the motorist may drive
across that stretch, and the first de-
tour will be eliminated.
