u. S. TO PAY TRIBUTE

The Government OF the United
States will pay official tribute to
Woodrow Wilson, its World War
President, on Monday, December 10.
according to tentative plans formu-
lated yesterday at conference be-
tween Republican and Democratic
leaders, and which were announced
by House Leader Longworth and
Minority Leader Garrett.
Promptly when the House con-
venes Monday Representative Finis
J. Garrett OF Tennessee, the Demo-
cratic leader, will introduce a reso-
luton authorizing the ceremonies
and proposing that that particular
day be set aside. This resolution,
following closely the procedure in
the case when Congress IN joint ses
sion paid it's respects to the late
Theodore Roosevelt. will direct that
a joint session of both houses of Con-
gress be held IN the House, to which
will be invited the President Of the
United States, his cabinet, the Su-
preme Court. diplomatic representa-
tives OF foreign nations and such
other guests as a committee may de-
termine.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson will be In
vited to occupy a seat on the floor
and will be given tickets to a re-
served section in the gallery for other
members OF the family and personal
friends
At Mrs. Wilson's suggestion DR..
Edwin A. Alderman, president Of the
University of Virginia where the lat g
President was once a student. and
recognized as one Of the great ora
tors Of the country, has accepted an
invitation to deliver the principal
memorial address at these ceremonies

adequately paid and the profession
should be made attractive TO them 80
that they would be able TO make it
life-work. Nothing to my mind is SO
important in the high educational
standard that Washington and the
whole United States should set.
Another thing that comes to my
mind in relation to the schools is the
health of the community. There is
a bill dealing with milk which has
been reported out of the House Dis
trict committee, which If passed by
Congress. will go far to insuring
proper milk for the children. Any
thing along the line to safeguard
health should have the hearty sup
port of every thinking citizen.
Urges More Parks.
In regard to the Fairgrounds in
Washington, l think much will be
accomplished when Congress realizes
their vital. Importance. The park
situation comes under the same cate
CORY.
Washington has fine parks in the
middle of the city where the land
is high and congestion heavy. but
adequate space should likewise be
provided in the suburbs which are
rapidly growing. Congress must act
quickly to procure additional land
before prices soar, as they are bound
to do as real estate development
goes on. The Park Commission, when
created. will be Of great help in de-
termining the land that should be
used for the park system"
Mr.. Reed, who did not run for re-
election to Office, retires on March 4.
He has been more than rs years in
public life and feels that a lessening
of his responsibilities Will be a well
come relaxation.
He has been postmaster Of Clarks-
burg, member Of the State Senate,
secretary Of state for eight years,
two terms, and elected to the lower
branch of Congress four times. OF
the West Virginians elected in 1916
to what is now called the War Con-
gress, Mr.. Reed is the only one who
remains. Twice he pulled his district
through for his party in the face of
a Democratic landslide. He is said to
be one OF the greatest vote getters"
that West Virginia ever developed.

REED WILL PUSH
! D. c. SURPLUS BILL.
District Committee Chairman
| will Seek Action on
$4,438,154 Fund.

The District surplus bill, which has
been passed by the Senate, reported
out OF the House District committee
and now awaits action in the House,
should be brought up at the earliest
possible moment, according to Stuart
Reed of West Virginia. chairman of
the District committee Of the House
OF Representatives.
THE fact that there has been long
delay in the crediting Of the s4,43s,-

said Mr.. Reed today.

M'CUMbER TELLS
OF DAK0TASTATUS
Discusses Politics and Pa
tronage of State With
President.

Former Senator Peter J. McCumber
OF North Dakota, who was chairman
of the Senate finance committee when
tho McCumber- Fordney tariff bill was
enacted, today was in conference
with President Coolidge during which
time Republican politics and patron
age in North Dakota was discussed
Mr.. McCumber expressed satisfac-
ton over the fact that there was a
distinct decline of radicalism in his
State and that Senator La Toilette
failed to carry it In the recent Presi
Dental election. He said the State
had been saved to the Republican
party without any great amount of
help from the Republican State COM
mittee. He discussed a number of
appointments with the President.
Although Mr.. McCumber is deeply
interested In the sugar tariff report
which the President is expected to
make shortly it was not touched
upon during this talk, he said.
1t Is understood. however, that the
President expects soon to announce
this decision, and those close to the
Executive feel confident that he will
not recommend a decrease.
The President received Cosme de
Ia Torrtente, Cuban Ambassador, who
has just returned to Washington from
of the League Of Nations. The Am
bassador said the league was not
discussed, but that his call was mere
ly for the purpose Of paying his re-
spectS.
President Coolidge stopped work at
IL O'Clock this morning. and, with
Mrs. Coolidge and small party. mo-
tored to Baltimore to attend the
Army and Navy foot ball game. They
will return to the White House to-
night.
Has Not Set Precedent.
Following an announcement at the
White House yesterday that the Pres
ident will not deliver his annual mes
sage to Congress next week in per-
son, he explained to friends later In
the day that this does not mean that
he has abandoned the custom of
President addressing Congress in
person. He said he intends personal
ly to deliver his message to the next
Congress when it meets in December,
1925.
With the message completed, and
in printed form ready for release, the
Presidents full attention and time
can be given to other pressing mat
tiers. With Mrs. Coolidge he will leave
Washington Wednesday for Chicago.
where he will attend the opening of
the annual live stock exposition. Be-
sides this he will attend n luncheon
given in his honor by the Chicago
Chamber Of Commerce, and will make
brief talk at this gathering.
Those who have talked with the
President during the past few days
say he Is still determined to not call
an extra session OF the new Con-
gress after March unless he is con-
WINGED that such a meeting Is I'M
perative for the good of the Nation.
1t is known that several promin ent
Republicans in the Senate and the
House who are persistent in their
advocacy of farm relief legislation
have endeavored to impress upon the
Executive the Importance of an extra
session in the event nothing of a re-
lief nature Is accorded thee agricul-
turists of the country during the
coming short session Of Congress.

VICIOUS RED EXILE
SYSTEM ExCELS ONE
UNDER CAR NICHOLAS

to visit the Solovetzky concentration
camp was denied by the foreign Of
fee by direction Of the political po-
lice.
The correspondent has Just re-
turned from Siberia. His considered
opinion is that Soviet Russia has
adopted the worst features of the
Czarist exile system, adding some
special hardships Of its own. It fails
to make any real provision for the
thousands 1t sends into places where
they cannot possibly support them
selves and many must perish this
Winter from exposure unless some
thing is done very quickly for them,
as they lack both warm clothing and
food.
Many exiles seek to end their
misery by suicide. Some, as In the
recent celebrated Leningrad case,
kill themselves in despair after sem
tence has been passed. The accused
are not permitted to examine wit
nesses or evidence against them, and
they are not allowed legal assist
ance. Furthermore, they are given
no opportunity to call rebutting evil
dence. This was admitted in an in
Kursky, the peoples commissar OF
justice.
Charges Are Vague.
Many exiles assured the writer they
had only the vaguest idea Of what the
charges against them really were.
Thus one fine old man, found after a
very long term of Imprisonment
awaiting dispatch from a northern
port to a still more remote destina-
ton, declared all he could imagine
was that he might have aroused
suspicion against himself one day
while he was in Soviet employment
by going out to where the patriarch
was in a procession and kissing the
place where the patriarch trod.
However good are the intentions of
those administering such q system. 1t
Inevitably gives occasion for great
Injustice. Some cases where the Of
lenses are known are OF the most
trivial sort. Several young women
who attended a weekly dance at the
Nansen Mission, In Moscow, were
exiled recently, after several months
Imprisonment on the charge OF sup
porting the international bourgeoisie.
The writer knew them well; they
were no more dangerous than kittens.
