In loving remembrance of our dear hus-

parted this life, June 13, 1922:
One long and lonely year has passed,
Since our dear husband and father left
us,
1t was so hard to part,
With the one we loved SO well.
Our life and home is broken,
Because is taken from us,
The one who was the life of home,
The one that always gave us a smile.
But a blessed day is coming,
When we shall know and understand
And best of all meet father face to face,
In that resting place called Heaven,

Have Back to Wall

Washington-The national admin
istration has been dealt a hard blow
by the death of United States Senator
Nicholson of Colorado who was a
staunch defender of the administra-
ton. His successor VIII be named by
Governor Sweet, who belongs to the
minority party.
Before the passing of Senator Mich
olson, the administration claimed a
senate majority of 10. At best, this
is paper majority" as it includes
Senators La Toilette, Brookhart,
Frazier, Borah, Ladd, and several
others who are more or less pro-
nounced in their disregard for the
party caucus.
This paper majority" is now re
duced to nine by the death of the Colo
rado senator. Formerly it took six
of the Independents to block a party
measure. Now it takes but five, and
it is openly declared that it will be
impossible for the administration to
organize the senate, when it convenes
in regular session next December
With the increasing power Of the
senate independents in both parties
the chances for legislation favorable
to big business decreases. There will
be no anti-strike legislation passed,
and the reduction of surtaxes on big
business will find rough travelling.
Proposals for a ship subsidy, if pre-
sented, will be hooted off the senate
floor, while the tariff law, living costs
and the transportation act will be
bombarded from every side.
