Word Mountain
Added to Doom
New Tariff Bill

An amendment to the emergency
tariff BILL. consisting of 1851 pages,
1O.747 chapters and about 10000
words, the longest amendment ever
offered to any bill in the history
of Congress, was that presented
yesterday in the Senate by Senator
Pat Harrison, OF Mississippi.
weighted down gy a thing like
that, the tariff bill is doomed" said
a member of Congress, commenting
on the situation. 1T will take from
now to the end of the session to
read the amendment, IL a reading
is demanded, as apparently is de-
signed by the enemies Of the bill"
Senator Harris, who introduced the
rather bulky soldier bonus bill a
few days ago. as an amendment to
the same measure, is only one of
those who are fighting the tariff
bill. Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
stuck on the immigration bill re-
Gently, and now the amendments are
like mountains around a molehill.
About twenty years ago" OBJ
served a member of the press gal
lery, "the Capitol barroom was
knocked out by the same tactics
when a Chinese immigration bill was
made a rider to the measure in
which it figured. Even IL the FIJI
nance Committee, by which the tar
if bill will be considered, decides
to ignore these ludicrous amend
ments, those who may be deter
mined to defeat the tariff bill can
insists on the reading Of the amend
ments, and this will make tariff leg
islation next to hopeless during the
present busy session"
The Senator from Mississippi de-
clares the proposed increases of tar
if on importations of farm prod
ucts. such as wool, cattle. grain and
meats. amounts to an embargo, and
that 1t will be harmful to the coun-
try. He has challenged Republic

BILL RAPED
BY SUFFRAGE FOE
ChiIdless Women Looking for
Government Jobs, Letter
Declares.

A most curious situation has
arisen here in regard to the
SheDpard Towner bill better
known as the baby bill. whose
progress through Congress is be-
ing watched by countless women
the country. TIL" most
vicious attack yet made against
the bill has been launched by
Miss Mary G. KiIbrcth. president
of tho National Association Op-
posed to Woman Suffrage. and it
is going the rounds of tn" Capitol.
The curious part Of it is that
opponents Of votes for women used
to complain that mothers and
babies would pc forgotten if
women got the vote. Yet the first
national measure that women have
asked for in greatest numbers and
concentrated upon after they got
the vote is the Sheppard Towncr
bill. which protects maternity and
infancy.
Asks Big Fund.
It calls upon the Federal Gov
crnment to appropriate something
under a million and half a year.
which will be given out to the
various States in proportion to
their population, provided their
legislatures appropriate an amount
equal to their share. There will
be some Federal control. but the
net result will be an increase in
visiting nurses, clinics for pre-
natal care and baby health centers,
under the control of the States
themselves.
Passes Senate.
The baby bill Ieaped through the
United States Senate, having passed
on December IS, but now it is
pending in the House. It is held up
in committee. And the women
sponsoring the bill point to the
curious fact that it is the prcsi-
dent of the anti-suffrage associa-
tiOn who is doing her best to fix
it so that it will stay there.
Miss Kilbreth is in Washington
and was in and out of the House
of Representative yesterday in
terviewing members against the
baby bill.
To quote from the letter:
1T is merely a salary grabbing
fraud to create political jobs for
restless, ambitious women, with no
children of their own, who want
the government to pay their trav-
cling expenses and salaries while
they tour the country to tell other
women how to raise children"

Darkest Day Sends
Chickens to ROost

The darkest day" since 1873 was
experienced by Kenoshans on Monday
afternoon when a cloud of inky black
ness came up from the north and
settled upon the city, changing the
streets suddenly from brightest day
to darkest midnight. All the feath-
cred chickens went to roost at 3:45 p.
M, while the furry ones kept the
telephone wires hot with inquiries
for the whereabouts of their mascu-
line relatives.
For a half hour the darkness was
menacing. The air was still, and there
was no lighting, just sinister black
cloud which crept over the sky till
the city was covered. The street
lights were turned on at 4:10 p. m.
and soon the town had the aspect of
Saturday night with all stores open for
business. At 1920 the storm broke and
the black sky turned green with inter-
play of lightning flashes.
The worst was over, and those who
had been murmuring tornado" and
"the world is coming to an end"
settled back to business once more.
It all proved to be only another mood
of Old Dame Nature, who manages to
keep things interesting when life
otherwise threatens to be dull.

Radical Writer
y Placed on Trial
(By Associated Press Leased wirs.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
New York City-Linn A. E. Gale,
who during the war published maya
zine in Mexico City, was put on trial
before a. court martial on Governors
Island charged with evading the draft,
publishing articles attacking Wood
row Wilson, when he was president and
with printing articles encouraging re-
sistance to the draft. Since being
brought to Governors Island, he had
been criticized by socialist publics-
tons for recanting socialistic views.
He was arrested at Laredo, Texas, last
April, after being deported from
Mexico. A letter written by Gale July
16 last to the editor of the Marion, O.,
Star, President Harding's newspaper,
in which he offered in return for am
nesty to give the government much in
formation about radicals, especially in
Mexico, was read at the trial.

Just taking the good out of each one of these
propositions would bring considerable adj
vancement along the line of hotel building. We
are not convinced that such united effort
will not have wide appeal to men and women
in Kenosha who have money to invest and who
would be willing to invest some Of it in the
construction of a real hotel
Kenosha does not need half a dozen hotels
but it does need one. A half dozen hotels
would not prove a paying proposition for any
of them but one well managed one would have
mighty good chance to get away and put
dividends in the bank for the people who in
vest in it.
Let's have the convention right away and
see just what these people have to offer and
how near it is possible for them to get together
on one real proposition. It would make a real
test of the community interest of Kenosha.

Life and Character
October 18th.

Your governing planet Venus gives
you planetary vibrations that attract
power and help along the lines of your
special talent. You have quick tenn
per, are impatient of results, do not
like to wait and will ask advice only
to resent it if it isn't just exactly what
you think. You are full of enthusiasm
and generous to fault and had better
hesitate before taking hold of any new
cause of reform, as your heart governs
your head. You are fond of nice sur
roundings, dislike hard work, but will
be faithful in the way your talent
guides. You have many talents. You
may succeed as musician, as writer,
or as an actor. If you have love for
any one of these, do not let anything
hinder you from making a great effort
to succeed.

State taxes seem to be one Of the things
which have not hit the road back to normally.
Kenosha countys share seems to grow annual
ly no matter what happens. It's hard to see
any way to reduce local tax rates when the
state insists on demanding more each year.
Intelligent and economical men in the legisla-
ture is the only remedy which can be suggested.
Just keep it in mind that Kenosha county is to
name two members of the lower house next
year and get busy selecting the right kind of
men now.
