THE REVIVAL MEETING
 CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT
Fifteen Hundred People Attend Clos ing Services, Results of Meeting
 Have Been Good.

The big revival campaign, which has been in progress in the tabernacle closed Sunday night after three weeks of intense work. The WinansPow- ell Evangelistic Party left Monday to get ready for a campaign at Me Kinney, Texas, beginning next Sun day. The closing services the latter half of the week saw crowds in at tendance far beyond the capacity of the huge tabernacle. It was estimat- ed that 1500 or more were in attend ance Sunday night. At this meeting an almost unanimous call was made for Winans-Powell to return here next year.
 The meeting has resulted in ines timable good in many ways to Ash down. Perhaps 150 expressed a de- cision for the Christian life with a promise to unite with some church. While a majority of these are in Ash down there was also a great many from surrounding country and other places. so that the actual results Of the meeting cannot be accurately tab ulated.
 Great Thanks Offering.
 The thanks offering at the close of the meeting for Evangelist Winans and Singer Powell amounted to S76555. There was tabernacle of fering, which will be used by them in making a payment of the taber- nacle, of $15O. The. expense collec- tions amounted to $4O9.71, making a grand total of $1,325.26.
 The Klan Donates.
 Saturday night while the thanks of fering was being made lone klans- man appeared and approached the altar with a letter, which he handed Ito Mir. Powell The communication iendorsed the work done here and as a mark of their appreciation enclosed ithe sum of $50. After shaking hands with Mir. Powell the robed figure de- parted in the midst of applause.
 A good deal of time was taken up during this service with such matters as usually come at the end of long campaign. Thanks of appreciation were voted to the individuals of the party by the congregation and they in turn made special mention of peo- ple and firms who had been especially nice to them and helped them in vari- ous ways. MT. Powell on Monday be- fore leaving said that in the confusion he had omitted to publicly thank c. M. Solly, manager of the Palace Theater, for his kindness in giving them the use of his theater every evening for the young peoples ser vices and for the mems services in the afternoons. The News was ask ed to express their appreciation to him through these columns. If there were others whose names were omit ted We are sure that it was through error

SENATORS T0PASS
ON SCHOOL SITE
District Committee Will Con-
slider Controversy Over
Building for TubercuIar.
OF children's guardians

The Senate District committee is to
take UP and dispose of, II possible,
the question of a site OF a new school
for tubercular children at a meeting
next Wednesday morning. Senator
Ball. chairman Of the committee. to-
day directed that meeting be called
on Wednesday fer that purpose.
Two bills are before the committee,
one introduced by Senator Phipps Of
Colorado. directing the Commissioners
to erect the school on the Upsilur
street site originally selected, and
the other by Senator Elkins of West
Virginia. directing that the school be
erected on government property, the
site to be furnished by the War De-
partment. The committee has held
hearings on these bills. The War De-
partment has reported that it would
be glad to furnish a site, but that II
has none available for the purpose.
approximately a year ago Congress
appropriated s150,o0o to erect this
school for tubercular children, but so
far nothing has been done.
While the committee has not yet de
cided which of the bills it will report,
it was pointed out today that since the
War Department declared the Elkins
bill impractical, there remained little
for the cofnmitte to do except to report
the Phipps bill.

Plan SUIT TO SAVE

Two Proposals.

Two definite plans to keep the In

the movement 90 close it's doors by
removing children residing there to
private homes. were placed on foot
yesterday. and today. are gaining
force.
The first 10 to seek an injunction

guardians from taking children out
of the school and placing them into
homes where surroundings, environ
ment and conditions are not up to
the highest standard. or, at least. TO
the standard maintained in the school
The second 10 to offset the deterio-
ration Of the Industrial Home School
by placing it under the board OF
education as a special school.
Both are outgrowths Of meeting
Of the Congress OF Mothers and Par
ent-Teacher Association at the Lang
don School yesterday afternoon.
The orEanization first Endorsed the

unanimously to appoint special

the progressive leaders who seize tire
opportunity can capitalize prevailing
discomfort in the country to swell a
movement of national scope away
from the old line party leadership.
Shrewd republican politicians in the
administration and at the Capitol say,
however, that the democrats who look
upon this as presaging republican de-
feat in November and two years hence
are counting their chickens before
they are Matched; that what it really
means Is a reorganized republican
party, stronger than ever before, un-
der a new set of state leaders, in
many instances. pe9haps, but the re-
publican party all the same-and with
Warren G. Harding still the leader
of 1t.
Here lie a suggestion advanced by
an Indiana old guard republican who
came to town today on a visit, which
is worth thinking over:
Should not republicans congratu-
late themselves that this progressive
movcment-call 1t radicalism IL you
pleasc-is being capitalized and taken
over b. the republican party. and not
left to a thorough-goins radical or
gaRi4atiCh or to a thlru party WnlcH
would combine every grade down to
socialism,"
One tact must be borne in mind by
those who would hope to see in the
movement a dfsintgration of the re-
publican party, and that is that the
old line republicans have in no in
stance repudiated the new movement
or Its leaders, but have been prompt
to extend the right-hand of fellow
ship to the candidates and pledge
their support Also, that the Indiana
and Pennsylvania candidates have
voiced their fealty to the administra-
tion and the party.
The republican senatorial campaign
committee. headed by Senator Medili
Mccormick, himself pronounced
progressive and former adherent Of
Roosevelt, instantly pledged support
to Mr.. Beveridge and yesterday to
Col Brookhart, while in Pennsyl-
vania the old line republicans, repre-
sented by Senator Pepper and Sena-
torial Candidate Reed. have avowed
their hearty support to Gubernatorial
Candidate Pichot.
All Of which is construed by some
OF the thoughtful politicians at the
Capitol TO mean that the dominant
organization In the republican party
Is quick to perceive the. apparent
change in republican sentiment and
intent upon keeping it within party
.ines and to participate in directing
it, without bringing about such a

PInn Veterans Can Select.
This measure differs somewhat
from the House bill and very widely
from the bonus bill that was reported
10 the Senate last year and later sent
back 10 the finance committee at the
request of President Harding. The
most important change from the
original measure Is the elimination of
the cash bonus and reclamation fea-
lures. AS now drafted the legisla-
right to select any one of the follow :
ing plans:
Adjusted service pay. but only If
Ms adjusted service credit did not
exceed $50
Adjusted service certificate with
Sions
Vocational training aid.
Farm and home aid
Land settlement aid
The estimated cost for each of
these plans is sI6.o00,000 for the ca ash
payments; ss.a64 s0s,4s1 Cor the ad-
justed service certificates; S412.425,oOo
Tor farm, home and land settlement
aid and &52.325.000 for vocational
training. The expenses under yoca
would end in 1925. under this esti-
mate. and those for farm, home and
land settlement aid In 1929 Expenses
under the certificate plan would con-
tinue to 1865, with total Of 1855 ,9SI,-
$50 to 1943. when the certificates
would begin to fall due.
Explaining the bill, Chairman Nc
Cumber said in his report that the
amount of the adjusted service credit
would be at the rate of 81 a day tor
domestic service and $1-25 for foreign
service. less to $50 bonus paid when
the veterans were discharged from
The service. In no event, however
could the total exceed $500 in the ca &c

see and s625 for those who had both
domestic and foreign service.

: The adjusted service certificates.
payable at the end of twenty years
from date of issue or sooner upon
Leath. would have a face value of
3 O16 times the total amount of the atl :
-justed service credit. Until January
i. 1925. banks would be authorized to
Joan to the veterans an amount eQua
10 so per cent of the adjusted serv-
ice crelit plus interest at the rate OF
4 !, per cent compounded annually
from the date of certificate After
January l, 1926, the government
Nould make loans on the certificates
in varying amounts. according to the
time negotiated.
Chairman McCumber said in his
report that the committee had recon-
mended elimination of the recIama-
lion provision Cf the House bill for
three reasons:
Any reclamation scheme will be
exceedingly expensive and will in the
end necessitate tho expenditure of
millions of dollars; it will be many
years before veteran will be able
10 determine whether he could Sc
cure any right under such plan, and
where the projects will be located

such aid the veteran would not know
