SPECIAL SESSION COSTS
COUNTRY BUT LITTLE
Price of Two Periods Obtained for
Price of Only One.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE extra
session of Congress which is now clos
ing has cost the country practically
nothing.
This has been made possible through
the action Of Chairman Madden, of the
House Appropriations Committee, who
made available now, the mileage
money that would have been received
after Christmas-$175,0 ,00C for the
House and $51 900 for the Senate. Cur
rent expenses of postage stamps, con-
gressional records, and printing Of bills
and resolutions have been negligible.
Thus, the country will have had two
sessions for the price Of one.
Incidentally, this special session has
been the shortest in the history Of the
country. The nearest approach to it
in brevity was the first session OF the
Eleventh Congress-from May %,
1909, to June 2S, 1909.
Now that the session is about over,
the House is assuming credit for do
ing all the work. 1t was asked to pass
the ship subsidy bill and did so in
schedule time though turning out a
much different bill from tina Intro
duced. The Senate, however, while
asked nothing by President Harding,
was supposed to pass the Dyer anti
lynching bill, but that execution has
ended in a tilibuster. The Liberian
loan bill, also on the schedule, has
been returned to a pigeon hole.

ASK MEMORIAL To
LINCOLN 6 YOUTH
State Association Members CALI;
for Hoosier Response.

Calling for members to the Indiana
Lincoln Memorial Association, W. A.
Guthrie, president, today reminded
Indiana that Lincoln lived in the State
for fourteen years.
1--WE want to erect a building or a
monument as a memorial to the youth
of Lincoln, " Mr.. Guthrie said. From
his seventh to his twenty-first year
Lincoln lived, worked and played in
Indiana. Who can say that those
formative years did not mean to him
what they mean to every other boy
of any race?
Kentucky, honoring the memory
of the man who was hers through
accident of birth, has built shrine to
which pilgrimages are made constant
ly by people from every State in the
Union. Have we, in Indiana, no rea-
son to be proud of the heritage that
came to Lincoln from our State? Too
long have we neglected the sacred
task of erecting a memorial such as
our sister States of Kentucky and
Illinois built"
Membership to the association is 81
for adults and 25 cents for persons
under 18 years of age. Special gifts
and contributions also are welcomed,
Mr.. Guthrie said. Remittances of
dues now entities one to full mem
bership until Feb. u, 1924. Il

great Government is proceeding slow
ly among the millions of the popula-
ton, so that the new union will be
founded deeply in the popular will and
feeling OF the people. The Chinese
have a fine spirit of democracy, and
the possibilities Of the Incorporation Of
that spirit into human institutions are
almost beyond comprehension. China
now has excellent local Governments
in cities. villages. towns and smaller
communities, and about ninety per
cent Of her school systems are sup
ported by the people themselves, not
by the State That shows the in
terest Of the individual in the we'll
being and future Of the Nation.
Will BE Twenty-Five States
What will be the form Of this new
Government in China? Well, 1 think
it will be a strong federation Of States,
of States rights States, if you might
/ use that expression-States with
strong local powers banded together
into a great nation. And there will
be twenty-five Of those States. If ia
pans efforts to take away Manchuria
and Mongolia are checked In time.
"Who Will be the strong man Of this
greater China? I think that possibly
it may be Bal Sing-yo who is only 81
years old and the right.hand political
adviser Of Wu Pei-fu, Wu Is a fine
soldier, and Bal has many other quail
ties which, think. stamp him as one
Of the great men Of China. You have
/ heard nothing of him in the United
/ States, but he has been active IN China
several years. Some Of Wu's greatest
steps have been taken under the ad-
vice Of Bal"

Predicts United States of China
VIII EMERGE From Present Chaos

NEW YORK, Dec. China is at
last awake, and a few years viii see
a unified naton-the United States Of
China-emerging from the chaos of
the Far East. This confederation will
be the ideal democracy Of the world,
more democratic even than the
United States Of America, and China
again viii be one Of the great nations,
with the worlds largest electorate in
its $50 900. 600 to 400, 600, 900 popula-
ton And this new republic-this
United States of the Far East-will
consider the United States Of America
as its best friend among the nations.
That is the vision Of the new China
as seen by Roy Anderson, an Ameri-
can. who has lived there twenty years,
and who is described by other
authorities on China as being the
man who knows more about China
than the Chinese" For many years
he has been confidential adviser to
prominent men in China, and has
known personally every prominent
figure there in the last decade.
New China Is Close
'And remember that you will see
this new and greater China in your
day" he said. This unified China
will come in a surprisingly short
time. and it will be one of the world s
greatest and most peaceful nations.
The signs Of the coming of a great
China may be observed throughout
the land. In time, think China will
evolve the finest government on earth
a finer and better government than
we have in America.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA buoyant

the opening of the listed market to-

Government issues crept upward.
>Their gain at the end Of the first
hour was only a few cents, but that

Under the influence of the better

ing to stocks, the general list Of do

were appreciable early gains in some
of the issues subject to wide f1uctua-
tlons, notable Chesapeake & Ohio

to sS5s.
In the foreign group, the British
issues crept higher and the French

of food TO be distributed where
1t will be found by the starving
birds. Despite warnings sent out
by the conservation commission
shortly after the storm, conditions
among the bird life of the cen
trial and northern portions of the
state is still very serious, accord
ing TO a statement just issued by
w. +. Barber, chairman of the
conservation commission"
The above notice has been APP
pearing in many of the down state
papers since the sleet and snow
storm of a week ago struck that
section.
According to wardens in this
section of the Big Woods, there
is no danger of the cartridges
and other small game suffering
for lack Of food. The weather is
warm enough now to stop making
heavy crusts on the snow. The
only danger is TO deer. The deep
snow at present three feet in
depth. has a slight crust which,
while preventing deer from leav-
ing their yards" in the swamps
and heavy timber, permits their
enemy, the timber wolf, of travel
ing over the snow and killing
them in their winter quarters. 1t
Is reported that over west Of

Line, wolves have killed quite a
number of deer. Carcasses of sew
