DOES Campbell OF KAS RESEMBLE MOORE BURNS OR DISRAE
An

pear on the floor for discussion and final
passage or rejection.
Here is recent example Of how 1t
works. A resolution was introduced calling
for the impeachment Of Louis A. Post, as
sistant secretary Of labor, for alleged undue
sympathy with the radicals. 1t was referred
to the committee on rules. We inquired
INTO 1t to determine what were the purposes
PACK OF it and whether it was in the public
interest that it should be given attention.
certain people appeared before u.s. We
questioned them closely, attempted to get at
their motives. We found that the radicals
were anxious that the impeachment should
be pushed. They wanted to use Congress
as sounding board for their publicity
we saw no reason why we should allow
ourselves to be used in this way, believed
mat such use was not in the public interest
The resolution was never reported out.
There was another piece of legislation, an
alien and sedition law, which had passed the
senate and had been favorably reported by
the judiciary committee of the House. 1t
was an extreme measure, went further than
war time legislation on the same subject.
In the judgment of the committee it inter
fered with freedom Of speech. We de-
clined to give this bill a rule. 1t died in
the committee.

structive and practical suggestions upon the
examination Of proposed legislation. There
was, for instance, q bill which appropriated
Q hundred million dollars for feeding the
Armenians. There were many sentimental
reasons why IL should be passed. The COM
mittee, however, was fearful Of wastes that
might arise II this amount Of money was
placed in the hands Of these we'll meaninr
people. 1t was q lot Of money. II was 10
be expended for food.
''At this very time Mr.. Barnes, the grain
controller, had millions Of dollars worth OF
-four stacked up on the docks Of New York.
1t was owned by the government. 1t had
been offered for sale but there were no
buyers. II it was food the Armenisns
wanted, said the committee, why not give
them this -four instead Of cash. II was
arranged. The results were most happy.
80 we sit at the headwsters Of lesisis-
tion and open the gates on certain leSisb-
tion and close them on certain other. All Of
us are affected by this legislation. We live
under it. 1t has to do with our happiness
or lack of it, with our prosperity or our
poverty. This little committee room Is
sort of Lake Itascs Of legislation. We feel
deeply the responsibility for the purity OF
the stream Of legislation which goes from it
to permeate the nation"

die was achieved. So far as design is con-
cerned the Greek coins were simply perfect.
No modern coins cam compare with them in
beauty.
Roman coins of the imperial period are
of the greatest historical interest. From
the sad and furrowed face of julius to the
self satisfied efigy of Domitian extends an
interval of 100 years, filed with the most
noteworthy events of the history of Rome:
The discovery of America and its influence
in ameliorating the social conditions Of
Europe is the greatest event in the history
of the world. In little more than a century,
1904 1850, were made nearly all the great
discoveries in science and art which afford
the basis of our existing industries, scientific
attainments and mechanical inventions.
Here again the coinage reflects the revolu-
ton. Compare the pennies of the Normans
with the Italian efhgies of Mary and Eliza
beth, or the groats of Henry vi with the
guineas of Charles ii.
The metallic plunder Of America was the
tremendous lever that converted the decay
Of Europe into an era of progress. In the
fifteenth century a skilled coiner, of whom
there were but few. might be able to turn
out by hand fifty or sixty coins a day;
result totally inadequate to cope with the
vast quantity Of treasure, chiefly silver, that
shortly began to arrive from America. To
multiply coiners was to multiply forgers;
and thus the coming machine became a
necessity Of state. A Eliminating mill and
screw colning press was Invented In Italy in

WHAT DENVER PASTORS
 THINK OF INTERNATIONALLY

Rev. Clarence J. Tinker, Denver: 'If the modern woman wishes a pie ture of herself, she will find mirror in "Everywoman"
 Rev. H. c. Fox, Denver: "To me it seems a good moral lesson. Every woman" is a clean picture and may save many love-sick aspirants.'
 Rev. Robert B. H. Bell, Denver: Every woman should see Every woman" where the author has honest ly and cleverly presented the prob lens of every woman"
 The screen adoption of Walter Browne's famous morality play, "Everywoman" will arouse universal interest The production is elabor- ately staged, wonderfully gowned, and excellently enacted by one of the best all-star casts ever assembled. Every player is well known actor of more than ordinary ability; beau tiful women are constantly on view during the passing of the eight reels.
 "Everywoman" is something diff ferent'--something out of the ordi- nary. AS play it aroused a storm of argument for and against. AS a pie ture, it will create the same dis cussion. You may find it feast of reason. You may say there's nothing to it. But about one thing there can be no difference of opinion-it's one of the most talked about plays of the seasOn-sumptuously mounted, marvelously enacted-carrying vital appeal to every thoughtful man and woman of the day.
 "Everywoman'' is showing for the last time tonight.

'MESPOT' OIL NOT DEVELOPED
Necessity for Importing Foreign Labor Is a Bar to Investment of Capital.

MesOpOtamia is rich field for oil, but the only wells in operation are a few sunk before the war by the Arabs. Not that the British need the Meso- potamian wells at present; they have more than they can use. But they are not even prospecting for it, nor are they allowing two representatives of "a famous oil company of our own to prospect, though the American oil comes in by Abbadan and is sold at something less than the Persian oil.
 One reason among many why big capitalists are not received here with open arms when they come forward with some big scheme for the country is that they generally begin by say ing. eve must import labor"
 Now the labor difficulty is serious here. Arabs are not very keen on get ting much work out of themselves. The Kurd cOolies seem to be the only ones that take to work and keep at it..
