Wedding at ST COLUMBIA.
A very pretty late summer wedding
took place this morning, when Miss
Amelia Piacenti, OF Ladd, became the
bride of John Newbury, Jr, of this
city, at a nuptlal high mass held at
St COLUMBIA church at 7:45, Dean
Thomas E. Madden officiating. They
were attended by Miss Birdie New
vert Tuttle, an intimate friend of the
couple.
The bride was very prettily attired
in a dark blue canton crepe dress
beaded in silver, with which she wore
a black velyert picture hat, and slip
pers to match. She carried an arm
bouquet of pink roses. Miss NewbuTy
wore a light blue georgette dress, and
also wore a black hat. Her bouquet
consisted of pink roses.
Immediately after the ceremony a
delicious wedding breakfast was serv-
cd to twenty relatives and friends of
the couple, at the home of the
groom's parents on Joliet street.
Mrs Newbury is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. O. Piacenti, of Ladd, and for
the past four years has made her

The Senate Minority.

Report has it that Mr.. Simmons OF
North Carolina and MIR. Robinson Of
Arkansas will contest for the minority
leadership Of the next Senate. Both
are able and experienced men. The
North Carolinian has probably had
the larger and longer experience. but
the Arkansan as a legislator Is far
from being q novice.
The post sought will be one Of i'm
portance from the day its duties are
assumed. For, whether the new Con-
gress meets in the spring in response
TO a summons by the President. or q

pointed time. its work will enter into

will not possess III the next Senate the
numerical strength they possess in

some party capital for use in 1924.
The republicans are not united. and
they may become more disunited after
the bloc business gets into its stride.
The bloc business. however. may
plague the minority quite as much as
it does the majority. 1t is something
new in our affairs. and both the ma.
jo.ity leader and the minority leader
Of the next Senate will be obliged to
study it in their maneuverings. Some
surprises and difficulties may grow
out o. it. and cause extra vigilance
and readiness OF decision on the part
of the sentinels on the watch towers.

Some one obviously had to do It.
Why? Well, look at tho way things
were going to pot.
Here was the United States. power
full, generous, wealthy. for more than
century the hrm and affectionate
friend Of France.
And there was France. reeling from
the effects CT war. STEPPED in debt.
facing a huge reconstruction problem
and some other things mostly con-
cerning Germany. about which her
statesmen had been vocal for four
years.
The French statesmen turned TO
America for sympathy. They were
surprised that it was not Forthcoming
to 70 great a degree as they had eS-
pected. Apparently. they told them
selves. America did not understand.
Some one had to tell her. Some
one had to go across the ocean and
by the spectacular methods OF mod
ern publicity stunts arouse the
American people.
So over on the other side the
French statesmen turned to Georges
;Clemenceau. And Georges. who had
lived in the United States and. to a
degree, kept abreast of her progress
and slang-thought 1t over a
twinkle came into his eye.
Let Georges do it; eh?" he asked
And 80 Georges Is doing the great
est international publicity stunt
which one man has undertaken In
recent times Being a fighter. he Is
having one of the best times Of his
long and eventful life.
II was inevitable that he should
.leap into personal controversy. AT
the moment his chief opponent ap-
nears to be Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
hraska. Tomorrow 1t may be some
one else, 1t doesn't matter. The
fights the thing. "C'est la guerre"
carried down to an individual basis.
AS an instance Of Clemenceau's en-
! ioyment Of fight may be cited an
interview with Marshal Foch which
occurred in Paris shortly after the
lsrm,stIce. An American was pres

and Clemenceau made his position
plain in emphatic terms. Then he
took up Foch's argument and for ten
minutes derided, ridiculed ana held 1t
up to scorn.
AS 1.-The Tiger" proceeded. Foch's
choler rose. Within Ave minutes the
marshal was pacing the floor, his
face flaming. He gritted his teeth
and pulled at his hair and expostulat-
ed and snorted. To no avail. The
"Tiger" out-talked him.
AS Clemenceau neared the end of
his announcement Foch whiried for
the door. He opened it and stood In
the doorway, trembling WITH rage.

cant. Provision Is made against such
happening in that the Congress Is to
vote for the two offices, the House Tor
President and the Senate for Vice
President, each member to vote as az
individual and not each state deiega-
tion as a unit.
Earlier assembly Of Congress after
election has been often urged, and is
now advocated strongly by widely
variant bodies Of citizens. as, for ex-
ample. by the American Bar Ass2cia'
ton and the American Federation OF
Labor. Opposition to the plan is equal
ly strong. on the ground that time
should be given for the solidif1cation OF
sentiment following the election, to
prevent unwisely hasty action. 1t is
urged also that in case OF need the
Congress can be summoned in extra
session. as has frequently been done,
within four months of the election.
The resolution which has been ap-
proved by subcommittee Of the ju-
dietary committee does not change
the method of election. but provides
for an earlier assembly of Congress.
coincident with the inauguration of
the President. THIS there is a con-
flict between the two plans. with
strong advocates of each. though with
a community of interest between the
groups.
II is alto1ether unlikely that this
matter can be brought to a head at
the present session. but evidently 1t is
to be pressed to conclusion at the
earliest later opportunity.
