House With Trunk Packed
For Recess, Watches Senate
Battle Over Campbell
Willis Measure.
Final Outcome In Doubt

Chicago Tribune Omaha Zee Leased Wire.
Washington. Aug. "a. - With its
trunk packed for months vacation
congress was compelled to remain
on the job far into the night, while
iilibuster ragged in full blast against
the Campbell-Willis anti-beer bill.
A tangled legislative situation has
developed, the outcome OF which is
difficult to predict. The house, with
Els chores completed. stood by and
watched the senate tussle over the
anti-beer bill.
The fate OF the anti-beer bill hinges
vupon the conversational endurance of
J the rival factions engaged in the fill
buster. WET" senators piled their
desks high with books and documents
and prepared to make a night of it.
They declared their determination to
go on filibustering until the "drys"
threw up the sponge and agreed to
8 recess without passage of the anti
beer bill.
UryS STUBBORN.
Radical "drys" in the house were
equally stubborn. They fatty re-
fused to, act upon the senate resolu-
ton providing for recess begin
Iing today until the senate gave its
final approval to the anti-beer bill.
There was danger from a dry view
point, however. that if the filibuster
continued all night, congressman and
senator's with their railroad tickets
bought would quit Washington and
break up the quorum in both houses.
The senate met two hours earlier
than usual in the hope of cleaning up
its affairs and going home. Efforts
to sidetrack the anti-beer bill met
defeat at the hands OF the drys, who
steadfastly refused to agree to any
proposition involving delay to the
measure. Senator Reed took the
floor and spoke for hours against
the bill
Towards evening the agricultural
bloc grew restive over the delay in
getting action on the conference re-
s.-srt on the 81 ,000, ,000,0 farm export
credits bill. They began to fear that
this important measure would be
caught in legislative jam and that
action would be held up indefinitely.
They entered into a temporary alli-
ance with opponents of the anti-beer
bill.
Kenyon Motion Carried.
When the house reported its rati-
hcation of the report on the credits
bill, Senator Kenyon of Iowa moved
TO take up the measure. The motion
was carried, 40 TO Is, Wet senators
heartily supported the motion. re-

Add II to the War Costs.

President HARDING's new Shipping
Board policy is full Of sense. The
Governments merchant marine, built
primarily as a war measure, may
have cost three and half billions
of dollars. AS a war measure the
ships were worth whatever it cost to
build them. AS peace asset they
are worth for sale exactly what they
will bring to-day or what it is rea-
sonable to expect they will bring
when ships are again in demand,
less the cost Of keeping them till
this indeterminate time.
Again, they are worth exactly what
thei. value will be to the Govern
ment If at this indeterminate time
it expands the operation Of it's mer-
chant marine. But to expand its
merchant marine on a profitable
basis it must first so recast its navi-
cation laws and regulations that
America will be put on competi-
tive basis with all the nations of
the world.

The Star in the Daytime.

From thr Ner York EueniaD Post.
The curious thing about the Star was
that once you fciird II, looked right at
It. and kept your attention fixed upon
1t you could zee it clearly. If you had
the right kind of eyes. Lots of people
couldn't see IL at all, some because they
did not have the right kind of eyes. but
mostly because they were blinded by the
garish light of an extraordinarily bright
and sunny morning. The sky was bot
tomless sea of azure; the clouds that
swept across, melting into shifting wisps
and flecks or vanishing altogether as
the sunshine ate them up, shone like
new snow. The fiuttering flags on tall
poles distracted your gaze. But IL you
did get into shadowed place or down
In the depths of the canyons between
the towering buildings, carefully work
out the exact location and fix your gaze
there, you saw the Star, glittering like
diamond In the blue.
Then II came to you afresh that
after all the stars are there al the
time, passing stately across the sky
sending out their steady stream of light,
as much and as truly In the glare OF
the brightest day as against the velvet
blackness of the darkest night. IL Is
not their fault IL we do not see them.
1t is the fault of our eyes, filed with
the blaze OF things, or of the earth
born clouds that shut us in Also, we
do not trouble in the daytime to look
at. or for. the stars Only those who
look, out of the depths Of canyons or at
the bottom of narrow vistas, see the
stars In the daytime.
In the daytime we arc all-powerful.
In the awe and loneliness OF night we
pray. each after his own fashion:
Now lay mo down to sleep;
pray the Lord my soul TO keen.
AS IL to say while / am awake and
on the Job I can take care of myself.
While the sun is shining, never nina
tho stars" The prayers OF most OF US
come out of our fears.
Suddenly comes a day when we dis
cover that whether we look for 1t or
not, tho Star il overhead and shining.
REGARDLESS OF our seeing. And we realize
then that II our eyes are open and In
tent we can see II and steer by it--un-
less we sufyer the sarishness Of the day
to blind us % It's siittering presence.

Yale Men Told Life Is Endurance Race
President Hadey in Address to Seniors Urges Them te
Train With Nerve and Heart

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoaK HERALr
New HAVEN. June 19.-"Life is
series of contests" President Arthur L.
Hadley of Yale told the graduating class
in his baccalaureate address to-day-"a
struggle in which man proves his
worth, not by attaining certain fixed
standard, but by putting In the last
ounce he has In him." With that as his
theme President Hadley described the
fallacies of those who approach life from
the viewpoint Of the pacifist, and OF those
also who are uncompromisingly militant
EITHER view Of life," he said. has
much to justify It: either works badly
when carried to an extreme. Where peo-
pie have become SO peaceful that they
refused to fight on principle, religion and
philosophy have lost touch with life.
Peace has been purchased at the cost OF
progress; morality has suffered for lack
Of men who could fight In behalf of the
oppressed. But in going to the other ex-
treme of loving a fight for Its own sake
and making success the primary test or
fitness, militant philosophers have lost
touch with real life just as completely
as did the pacifst philosophers. and have
failed Just as decisively. For political
or commercial successes which win the
admiration Of one age meet little but con-
tempt in the next. Militant Germany
seemed but few years ago unconquer-
able where do It's leaders stand to-day
even in the estimation OF their own
people?

al the indirect and lasting effects OF con-
f,,ct A contest is nyt good or bad In
itself: IL Is good or bad according to the
spirit in which 1t Is conducted and the
kind OF leaders which 1t brings to the
front. II conducted for a selfish end
and by unscrupulous methods. 1t breeds
selfish leaders and narrow minded fol-
lowers. If conducted for an unseifish
end and by honorable methods, 1t trains
leaders who can serve the people ana

The New York herald., 1921-06-20

Is very little in the complaint that
our railroads, natural resources,
ships and banking and credit sys-
tenn are controlled "in the interest
of a little clique of investment bank
ers and selfish, un-American citizens
OF great wealth" The proportion Of
earnings of railroads, coal mines and
the greater number of large indus
tries which goes to the payment of
wages is proof that there is and could
be no such minority tyranny.
If the farmer can find way to
provide cheaper transportation and
still satisfy his neighbor, the rail
road worker, whose wages have to be
cut to do it, he will be doing himself
and the nation a great service.
If the city worker can find a way
to obtain cheaper bread and meat
without depriving the farmer of a
just reward for his toll, he likewise
will be doing the nation service.
Labor robs itself when it demands
higher wages and shorter hours with
out offering any solution for tho re-
sulting reduced production.
1t is footless to lay the blame on
capital or anything else for short
ages and high prices resulting from
decreased output by labor. There
is no way to make three minus one
equal four.

Certainly Worth Trying.

In connection with the fragrant
overspendings of departments In the
national Government and the scan
dalous voting OF deficiency grants to
meet them United States Senator
WILLIS has offered practical sug-
gestion. 1t is for an emergency fund
in control of special board which
can help out department when be-
cause Of unforeseen conditions it
cannot possibly get along with the
money that was appropriated for it
and the public service must suffer
as consequence.
But the malignant deficiency ap-
preparation disease must be checked,
kill or cure. The fact remains, how
ever, that no executive, no legislator,
no human being can foresee all that
the future holds for private life, busi-
ness projects or Government admins
tration. In an entirely unexpected
situation that may bring an unavoid-
able problem that calls for Immediate
action there should be some way to
meet the crisis on the spot.
Senator W,LLrss plan, which op
crates successfully in Ohio, seems to
fill the bill, provided the laws and
principles of our national Govern
ment permit the exercise Of such
functions in behalf of the supreme
legislative appropriating power, and
provided an emergency committee
would not become as tolerant of over.
spenders and as grossly extravagant
in bailjng them out as Congress itself
has become under the present vicious
system.

The Third Horseman.

We have before us, cold from the
Government presses, the Census Bu-
reau's latest thriller, Mortality Sta
tistics for 1919"
This fat book contains a record of
all the deaths in the registration
area Of the United States for the
year, to the extent of giving the
number who die from each disease,
with their age, color and urban or
rural residence.
Let us look into the book and see
how many of the eighty-odd millions
of Americans in the registration area
died Of the cause that has perturbed
mankind more than any other since
the morning of the human race.
How many succumbed in 1919 to
that which has been the dread and
the prodding Of nine-tenths of the
billions who have lived and died
since the eviction from the Garden?
The answer is twenty-one. Among
each four million persons there was
but one death from starvation.
If the census men are right, then
this must have been a pretty fat and
prosperous country in 1919 and, in
deed, In all our recent years, for the
annual deaths from starvation since
1900 have never averaged more than
forty, according to the Mortality
Statistics"
But we have a suspicion that the
census men, with all their questions,
do not learn everything. There is
a pride that is more relentless than
hunger, and there is often an under
standing neighbor who is willing to
tell white lie after the fact. "An@-
mia" is good word in such cases.
1t is more pleasant, however, to
believe the census man.
