Obligation-Glass and Borah
Hold Move Unjustifiable.

ate yesterday over the administration
bill proposing a loan of $5,0O0,000 to
Liberia. a measure passed by the

ing Senator Glass of Virginia, who
was Secretary of the Treasury dur
ing the Liberian loan negotiations.
Chairman McCumber and Senator
Curtis. republican. Kansas. OF the
Senate finance committee urged pas
sage of the bill as a measure to
meet a moral obligation. They said
Liberia declared war against Ger

armistice and subsequent legislation.
They recited that former President
Wilson. former Secretary Lansing of
the State Department, President
Harding and Secretary Hughes had
recommended the loan. Mr.. Lansing
declared the United States honor

Senator Borah charged that the bill
meant the taking over of Liberia"
by the United States. and added that
New York bankers, who have made
loans to Liberia would be the princi-
pal beneficiaries.
Senator Glass said he did not con-
cur with Mr.. Lansing's views, and
added that $4,000 advanced to Lii
IBERIA to enable the Liberian dele
gates to attend the peace conference
was the only war loan which Can
not be justified"

Persistent.

A salesman journeycd tc my door,
he hoped to sell a choo-choo cart +;
he came until he was a bore. he
talked until he broke my heart. l
said, II am not ready yet to buy a
car: | built this shack. and am just
getting out of debit haven't got
the needed jack. But if you'll cease
to chase me round, nor dog my foot
steps near and far, some morning
fair | will be found in mood to buy
motor car" I'D rather sell an
auto now" heard the busy sales
man rant. why don't you mort
gage yonder COW, or borrow money
from your aunt?" Oh, nothing
could his ardor douse, at every turn
he would appear: l often hid be-
meath the house when l beheld him
drawing near. At last arrived the
golden morn for which | long had
saved and scratched; "and now." l
said, "I'll buy horn that has a
motor car attached" l had pack
age in my belt. and in my hat | had
a roll, and as l went to town l felt
the lust for autos in my soul. And
did | seek that anxious gent who
talked until his throat was sore?
All, no. lodged his shop and went
to one Id never seen before. l al
ways shun those busy guys who
hand me yards of smoking breath;
| do not think those statesmen wise
who talk their customers to death.

are now renting floor space. The
present arrangement between the
government and lessees of this prop
city allows the government, with
thirty days notice, to take over the
property for rebuilding purposes.

 The City Council has made an in- vestigation of the entire coal situa, tion and is perfectly aware of the presence of this coal and also other coal thht will be placed on the local market. It has done all that can be done to procure cheap or first class coal at this time.
