In the course Of the debate upon the
resolution by Senator Pat Harrison to
abolish secret executive sessions Of
the Senate, the following tribute was
paid Senator Harrison, who is dis
playing great activity and ability as
an orator and debater, by his col
league, Senator John Sharp Williams;
"He Senator Harrison) has proven
himself worthy Of his position as a
Senator from the great State of Mis-
sissippi, and he is improving every
day in his worthiness. In other words
his worthiness is increasing. The
time will come when he can see and
his friends can see that he is thorough
ly fit, par excellence, for the position
Of Senator from State whose SEN
ators, while they have not been super
Tor to the Senators from every other
State, have been to a full extent equal

One of the strongest points made
against the Fordney Emergency Tar
iff bill, which recently passed both
houses and was agreed upon in con-
ference, was that with starvation in
many parts of Europe the American
farmer found no market for his pro-
ducts there even at present prices be-
cause of the inability of Europe to
buy, having neither money nor credit
How, then, was Europe to buy at in

have to pay higher price for his

The Knox resolution declaring tn,
state of war with the Teutonic powers
at an end and paving the way for .
separate peace with Germany has
struck another snag. 1t is discovered
that the German alien property seized
during the war is involved in the mat.
ter and that the resolution will have
to be much amended, which, Of course
will take more time. Chairman Por.
ter of the House Committee on For.
eign Affairs, assumed to be speaking
the wishes of the Administration, is
reported as opposing the repeal of the
war declaration as provided in the res
olution in speech at a gathering Of
Pennsylvania Congressman.
There may be vital reason for de-
daying its passage in the suggestion
that TIE Knox resolution is full of po-
litical dynamite and that Congress
men are becoming afraid of it. In
formed politicians profess to know
that the sentiment of the country is
strongly against it, and there is a
probability that Congressman have
been hearing from home.

Although Senator Newberry is back
in his seat in the Senate, the New

The decision Of the Supreme Court
did not deal with the truth or falsity
of the charges against him, but only
with the unconstitutionality of the
law under which he was tried The
