The Republican., 1924-11-06
REPUBLICANS
HAVE MAJORITY
IN BOTH HOUSES
Reports From All Districts Nee
essary to Determine Real
Working Majority For
President

Belated returns gave the Re
publicans the best of it today in
the upsets in both the House
and Senate. But it appeared
that final reports from all dis
tricts would be necessary before
there could be determination
whether President Coolidge
could expect a real working ma
jority in the next congress.
Returns from 800 of the ABS con-
gressional districts gave the Repub-
licans an actual maiority-218-but
in this total are included nearly a
score of the La Toilette insurgents.
The Democrats, meantime, had
made certain Of 10 seats and the
farmer-labor party Of two.
On the basis of these returns
the Republicans had made a net
gain of 16 over the Democrats, re-
capturing twenty seats as against
four now held by Republicans which
were moved over into the Democratic
column.
At adjournment last June the
House lineup was Republicans 225;
Democrats 207. and three scattered.
The Republicans, however, appar-
emily had gained three Senatorial
seats on the basis of returns received
early tonight. They were in Mass
achusetts, Kentucky and Oklahoma.
The Democrats had elected eleven
Senators, while II Republicans had
been chosen or had such leads as to
make their election practically GER
tain. In the six remaining contests,
all in Western states where returns
still were coming in slowly, the re-
suits We're uncertain.
In gaining a seat in Massachusetts,
the Republicans elected Frederick H.
Gillett, Speaker Of the House, over
David l. Walsh, the Democratic in
cumbent. In Kentucky, Fred NJ. Sack
EFT, Republican, won over Senator A.
o. Stanley, Democratic, while in Okla
homa it appeared that W. B. Pine, Re
publican had defeated J. C. Walton,
the Democratic candidate who ran on
an anti-Ku Klux Klan platform.
The upsets in the House were wide
ly scattered over the country. The
Democrats lost the six seats they now
have in Pennsylvania, but they elect
ed their candidate over his RepL >lican
opponent in another Pennsylvania dis
trict. They lost four of their six seats
in New Jersey; two in Indiana; one in
Illinois; one each in Ohio, Michigan
Delaware, Connecticut, New. Hamp-
shire, Oregon, and Nevada.
They gained district in Maryland
one in Kansas and elected their can
0ldate in the Eighth Ohio district over
the Republican incumbent.
Return to the House of both the
floor leaders-Longworth, Ohio, Of
the Republicans, and Garret, Tennes,
see, of the Democrats-was assured
while it appeared that there woulc
be no upsets in New York delegate
the largest in the House, despite the
heavy Coolidge plurality in the En-.
pire state.

Mason Bros. Lost Plant By Fire
Of Incendiary Origin Tuesday

The saw mill owned and operated
by Mason Bros. of near Swanton, was

owners of the destroyed property.
The mill was located on tract of
timber on Meadow Mountain, north
of Swanton and was not in operation
Tuesday on account of the owners and
employees wanting to go to their re-
spective homes to vote, hence no fire
was under the boiler from the hour
of quitting Monday night.

INDIAN LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Organization for Promotion Of Uni
Versal Peace Existed Among In
dians Back in Stone Age.

New York state Indians in the
Stone age had a constitutional league
of nations for the promotion of uni
versal peace which was based on and
dominated by wOmans suffrage and
in which the initiative, referendum
and recall were employed, so J. N. b.
Hewitt, ethnOlOgist of the Smithsonian
institution, who has just returned
from an investigation among the IrO-
quOis of New York and Canada, de-
clared here, says the New York Eve
ming Post. Chieftainesses among tne
cOnfederated Mohawk, OnOndaga,
Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca tribes
had equal rights and titles with the
male chiefs, who were nominated by
wOmens votes, his most recent re-
searches into the governmental plan
Of these five nations reveal.
The scope of the league formed
among these Indians in the Sixteenth
century, Mr.. Hewitt said, was not
limited TO the five IrOQuois tribes, but
they proposed to bring under their
form of government all known tribes
of men. The league was based on
peace, righteousness, justice, power
and health. Laws were provided to
stop family feuds and regulations for
the promotion Of mental hygiene were
laid down.
Hiawatha was one of the league
chiefs selected by the women and sub
jected to recall by them, he said. Mr.
Hewitt found that the automobile, the
phonograph and other modern prod
ucts are rapidly causing the Indians
to forget many of their former laws
/ and customs.

LIFE ON THE OTHER WORLDS
Astronomers Less Optimistic Regard
ing Existence Of Life Than
the Enthusiast.

Discussing planetary life. so far
as 1t bears on the planetary system Of
the sun, we may state the average as
Economical opinion; it is far less Op-
timistic for the diffusion of life than
is the opinion of the enthusiast.
~ Venus, so far as we can see,
more nearly fulfins the conditions
than any planet other than the earth.
Its mass and orbit are certainly favor
able, it's distance, rotation, and chem
ical constitution, are probably not un-
favorable, though we cannot penetrate
its dense covering Of clouds and seek
out the mysteries of its surface.
(2.) Low forms of life may exist on
the planet Mars, where the thin at
mOsphere does permit our telescope
explorations. High forms of life at
the present time are, however, gen.
orally deemed improbable, and beings
comparable with man and other ter
restrial mammals are considered ut
terly impossible.
(3.) The other planets Of the solar
system are now quite unsuited to
protoplasmic life.-HarlOw Shapley

tory, in Harper's.

HIS FIRST ATTEMPT AT WORK
Curious Experience of College Student
Who Was Trying to Earn Money
for Expenses.

Many students attending the univer-
stiles Of Indiana pay part Of their
college expenses by doing odd jobs.
Several years ago a young man applied
at the Y. NJ. G. A. employment office
of one Of the universities and asked for
work. He was directed to the home of
one Of the professors.
His first duty was to mop the kitchen
floor. Mrs. H. supplied a mOpstick,
some rags and a bucket. She was up
stairs sewing a few minutes later when
he called, "What shall 1 do with the
waterT
Throw 1t out"
"But can't"
She came down to investigate. She
found the kitchen floor flooded and the
new helper standing on a chair holding
the dry rags and the empty bucket. He
explained that he had never mopped a
floor before, so he had filled the bucket
with water about eight times and emp
tied It on the floor.
The young man is now a practielng
physician in indianapolis.

KENT LEVY COURT MEETS STATE
HIGHWAY BOARD ON ROADS
DELEGATIONS APPEAR WITH
PETITIONS ASKING FOR ROADS
Kent County According To Indications
Will Only Be Able to Build About
20 Miles of Road Coming Season

VIII Only Be Able to Build About
20 Miles of Road Coming Season
A conference of the members of the
Kent County Levy Court and officials |
of the State Highway Department was
held at Dover last week to discuss the !
program for the construction of State
aid roads in this County during the
coming season. Whatever progress
was made at the conference was not
announced by the Levy Court when
they resumed their session following
it. According to present indications,
Kent County will be able to build
slightly more than twenty miles of
road during the coming season and
the Levy Court Commissioners will
have a hard time deciding where the
roads are to be built. At the present
time they have requests from practic-
ally every section of the county for
improved roads.
Several more delegations appeared
before the Commissioners at Tuesday
of last weeks meeting and presented
requests for improved roads in their
sections of the county. One delega-
ton appeared in the interest of a road
from the Caesar Rodney School to
Willow Grove. The Court received
the delegation and heard their peti-
tion but took no action on the matter.
Another delegation appeared and
urged the construction of a road from
! Williamsville to the Sussex County
| line in the Tenth District. Their peti-
ton was also received without action.
The Court authorized the opening
of a ditch in the Third District to al
low water to drain from a road. En-
gineer 7. Marvel Gooden was instruct
ed to superintend the work. One car
of Stag was ordered to be sent to Do
yer for use in the Fifth District.
A delegation headed by c. L. Will
hanson, of the Sixth District appear
ed before the Court and requested
that a road be built from Hickman to
the Sussex County line where it will
meet a similar road from Sussex
County. 1t was explained to the Court
that since the railroad has ceased op-
Grating in that area, the people resid-
ing there are greatly handicapped for
an outlet. The request was not made
for a concrete road, but one that
would stand travel The Levy Court
Commissioners will visit the area in
volved and also meet the Sussex
County Commissioners to consider the
matter. The road from Thompson
vile to Tubb's Mill in the Tenth Dis
trict will be surveyed by the State
Highway Department.
