WROTE OF ARCTIC SEA COW

An authentic writeup of the Arctic
sea COW (now extlnct) was made
about the middle of the Eighteenth
century by George William Steller, who
was s~hipwrecked on Boring island,
1741, with the Russian navigator,
Capt. yitus Boring. This "cow" was
not unlike the manatee or dugong of
southern waters, weighed 5000 pounds,
and was from 90 to 80 feet long. Stel-

Minority Wants Many Things.

The minority group of Republicans
in house, and senate desire that all
kinds of changes shall be made in the
laws and regulations Of the land. 1t
seems certain today as yesterday that
at the present 81 ssion the agricul-
tural credit situation will be relieved,
but there Is precious little chance
that, before congress dies the death
in March, even an approach can be
made to consideration of and action
on a good many other things which
the members who attended the recent
conference have demanded.
The "balanca of power" Republic
ans In house and senate demand the
repeal of the Esch-Cummins transport
tation act because they say 1t has be
come unpopular with the farmers and
organized labor; and they ask also
changes in the taxation laws, a con
servation policy which is opposed to
that of the present secretary of the
interior, amnesty fer political offend
ers, and various other things to which
conservative and semi-conServative
Republicans and the administration
with them probably can yield only in
part.
Naturally enough the party in pow
er wants t. be retained in its place
by the voters at the election In No
vember, 1924. The feeling of the ma
jority Republicans seems to be that
it will be possible te yield in part to
the demands o the balance of pow
err" Republicans without in any way
committing the government to really
radical legislation.
Today the group of conservative
Republicans which seems to be will
ing that an extra session shall be
called in the spring is growing in
strength. AS has been said, the de-
sire seems to be to get the worst or
the best over with as soon as possible

EXTRA SESSION N
SPRING IS WANTED
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS
MAY YIELD TO THIS DEMAND
OF PROGRESSIVE GROUP.
LOOKING TO 1924 CAMPAIGN
Majority Party Needs the Time to
Formulate Compromise Measures
That Will Restore Greater Har-
mony Within Its Ranks.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK

Washington.-It is perfectly clear
from the "whereases" of the recent bi-
partisan conference in Washington
led by Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, that the advanced groups, pro-
gressives or radicals, call them what
you will, desire that there shall be an
extraordinary session of the newly
elected congress next spring.
1t has been held hitherto that the
conservative and semi-conseryative
groups in congress do not want an ex-
~traordinary session in the spring. OF
curse the conservatives and tn semi
conservatives outnumber the others,
but as what loosely may be called the
La Toilette groupings unquestionably
will hold a balance of power In, the
next congress-, the other elements
must give due heed to the influence
which they have, anf their opposing
colleagues may yield to the extraor'
binary session demand, thinking that
1t is better to get "all things over
with" as quickly as possible rather
than to postpone the controversy I'M
til the session which comes just be
fore the national convention of 1924.
1t is said in Washington today thai
the administration has taken full
c%ognizance Of the legislative program
to which the progressive or radica
groups have given their adherence
1t seems likely that the administra
A.. .-l IA H. bA,,- anf
senate will frame a legislative pro
gram of their own which shall bt
something in the nature Of a compro
mise between conservatism and ex
IRENE progressivism.

Republicans Need Harmony.


If they do this the administration
and its followers hope that harmony
can be brought into the Republican
ranks, that the various so-called
blocs In congress will be satisfied and
that the Republican party can go be-
fore the people In 1924 with a record
not particularly Scared with the
wounds of fa%ctionalism.
The recent conference of the La Fol
lette progressiyes was bipartisan in
q measure. There were SOM Demo-
Gratis to take part in the deliberations,
Democrats who, while partisan on a
good many things, are nonpartisan in
what perhaps they would call "legisla-
ton for the uplift." The truth is,
however, that SO far as the Republic
an party Is concerned all compromise
measures intended to meet differences
between the administration and the
so-called extremists probably must
necessarily lack Democratic support.
Therefore, If there is tC be a com
ing together to make the Republican
cause less difficult In 1924 it must take
the form, 1t Is said, of a Joining up
of the different schools Of Republican
ism in house and senate to the ex-
clusion of any school of the Demo
Gratis.
It seems likely, therefore, that soon
the movement for more advanced leg
islation by the so-called bloc elements
in house and senate must become
a movement within the Republican
party.

We got up each morning before break

.oUR LuDY" COMES HOME

Under the above headline the Win
throp College News prints the follow
ing article onsa visit made by Miss
Lucille Gotbold to her alma mater. 1t
will be remembered that Miss God
bold broke the worlds record in shot
putting at the games in Paris recent
ly and the many former Winthrop
students as we'll as the state as q
whole are interested in her victory:
On the morning of Saturday, Octo-
der Z, chapel was going as usual.
President Johnson was standing
where he has stood all these years.
The hymn was announced, the Scrip
ture read, the Lords Prayer was re-
peated as usual, and then the an
nouncements-but just as DR.. john
son had begun to tell that the movie
that night would show "Oar Ludy''
in action at the Paris Olympic, the
marshals with their beribboned stats
appeared in the rear, and with their
entrance a roar, storm, thunder
/, storm, of applause swept down the
student crowd. 1t was deafening, ov-
erwhelming. The newcomers, espec-
tally on. the platform, wondered what
it was all about, but soon someone
said, "It's Ludyw And so behind
the marshals there came tall, grace
full young woman, tastefully dressed
in darn blue, and evidently over
whelmed by her roaring reception.
And how theydid roar! They would
have roared more had thirteen hun
dred girls possessed other means of
roaring besides feet, hands and lungs.
Finally, the narshals reached the
platform, where they presented the
heroine to the president, who seat
ed her in his chair and then with his
masteTly direcsness and terseness
told of his trip to Paris, of the Olym-
pic contest, and of the Winthrop vic
tories. "It's good, to see 'Ludy' in the
movie" concluded DR.. Johnson, "but
it's better to have her here in the
flesh, so it gives me special pleasure
to present her to you this morning
AS, the modest, self-possessed young
woman stepped tc the front the storm
again broke loose, the storm Of twen:
ty-six hundred hands trying, to tell in
one volume the welcome that was
stirring in thirteen hundred hearts
but it was trying to say something
that after all could never be said, ev-
en- by twenty-six hundred hands and
thirteen hundred hearts. When the
storm subsidized, IN a voice full of N,
dividuahty, "Our Ludy" began tc
speak and here is what she said, but
