Farm Bloc Certain to Meet
Success in Upper House;
Uncertain In Lower

Smarting under its second legis-
Iative defeat OF the present session,
the Senate farm bloc today
sought to recover its lost prestige
by quickly enacting the Cooling
bill which would slash freight
rates upon short hauls.
The bloc succeeded in making the
bill the Senate's unfinished bust
ness" after suffering three sue
cessive beatings in efforts to attach
It as rider" on the army appro-
priation bill. Although certain to
pass the Senate, the bill faced an
indefinite fate in the House.
The bloc has served notice upon
Administration Senators they would
keep Congress in session until its
entire legislative program is en-
acted. Besides the Gooding bill, the
program included the .McNary-
Haugen and the Norris.Sinclsir
bills, both of which propose Govern
ment aid in financing farm exports.
IL the bloc controls sufficient votes
and their leaders claim 1.-THE
Administration plan for an adjourn
ment of Congress on June I will
have to be abandoned.
Another menace to adjournment
plans came from the insurgent Re-
publican faction, whose leader, Sen.
ator La Toilette R) Of Wisconsin,
was due to return this week from
long absence due to illness. La
Toilette was reported returning
with program of blocking ad-
journment and forcing action upon
the Howell Barley bill, which elimi-
mates the Railroad Labor Board and
substitutes arbitration boards.
A combination Of insurgents and
farm bloc members would keep Con-
gress in session throughout the
summer.

Something to
Think AbOuf
SERIOUS FACTS
By EAIWILKER=

WHEN We morials turn from the
beaten track and find that we
are at a place where we must pause
a mediate upon the serious facts
confronting Us, We are frequently in
ciined to become u-humored and IL
logical.
A sort of mental strabismus dark
ems our vision and numbs our bodies,
caused in a large measure by our dis
inclination to touch upon anything of
a serious nature. We dislike TO 90
aield among the dark shadows where
the ghosts of the past are lurking.
The open sunshine is always prefer
able for the reason that it dissipates
doubt and permits us to see clearly
without effort.
Indeed, the great majority of our
relatives, and ourselves included, pre-
fer the frivolous to the profound. We
incline to touch lightly, to grasping
with all our strength.
We fall at nee into the state of the
school boy when the trees are budding
and the air is soft and warm. He
losses a dependable coin to decide
whether he shall take his place in
the classroom among serious teachers,
and still more serious books.
He returns home at night with a
string Of fish, a new freckle or two,
and goes early to bed, brooding over
the seriousness of his plight. He
will remember for life when he is
told on the morrow that it is the seri-
Gus men and ONE who do things.
He will tell you that had Sir Isaac
Newton not been the serious-minded
man he was, the fall of an apple would
not have revealed to him the law of
g%ravitation.
What the thoughtless term good
luck" if you will look into the mat.
ter deeply, may be traced to serious
thought. You may con your Greek
verbs, or play hide and seek with
your Latin, but if you are not really
serious in your studies you can never
master them.
To 10Y forward day by day in
your sphere of endeavor requires the
quality of seriousness that made Wash
ington so dearly beloved by his armies,
and gave to Lincoln an enduring name.
To the serious-minded, earnest per-
sons, the world is indebted for its
greatest inventions and loftiest
achievements.
We want a little more seriousness
in our work, and decidedly less dejec.
ton. and when we get it. paradoxical
though it may seem, we shall be more
cheerful and infinitely happier.
