Grants Pensions

The articles of confederation
among the thirteen States are given
in full during the session of the Cen
eral Assembly, 1881. One of the Acts
of the Assembly was in 1879, when
Maryland granted to the soldiers en-
gagged in the fight for independence
a pension to the injured or otherwise
incapacitated fighters. Much of the
time of that day as we'll as much of
the space of the book, was given to
the work of raising troops for the
cause. The Legislature met twice a
year, and at each session during the
struggle supplies and money were

O,rWdshiN3toNL Letter

Washington. Oct. Tit is now
apparent that Congress will con-
Germ itself over international as
well as domestic affairs. The un-
satisfactory condition of tn e
French Debt and the activities
of the Inter-Parliamentary Uni.
on have brought foreign affairs
to the front. There is no short
age of domestic issues which the
political opportunists can seize
to project themselves into the
limelight.
The Inter-Parliamentary Uni
on, which has been in session at
the Capitol, was assembled for pur.
pose of discussing certain world
questions which could obtain
the benefit of collected wisdom,
Though foreign dignitaries were
gathered under one roof, there
were no marked evidences of un-
usual statecraft. Instead the
proceedings were marked at
times by clamor and petty quar-
rels. The social functions were
more successful than the social
gatherings.
Observers here believe tina {
the Mitchell controversy had too
many press agents. Nothing par
ticularly new, worthy to be call
ed a sensation, was produced at
the hearings. The comments Of
aviation experts were more or
less prosiac, and old arguments
were re-hashed and presented as
fresh ideas. In official circles,
Colonel Mitchell is regarded by
some as an egotist; by others as
a courageous officer; by the more
or less cynical as an obvious pub
licity seeker. While a large num-
Der of his critics admire his cour-
age, opinion prevails that Mitch
ell could have taken other means
such as resigning from the Army
before attacking. rather than
breaking the bonds of discipline.
The election of young La Fol-
lette to succeed his father as SEN
ator from Wisconsin revives a
delicate question. In political
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-10-08

circles here, they are asking il
the Senate will adhere to its pol
icy of last winter and insist up
on regularity among those bear
ing the party label. The senior
LaFollette, while he lived. had
"a considerable following among
so-cal'ed Liberal Republicans.
Though his son was elected on a
platform founded on his fathers
principles. he can never hope to
attain the power of his predeces-
sor. His extreme youth and in
experience will handicap the new
senator more than his political
beliefs.
BY the way. the defeat of the
Republican Party in Wisconsin
has resulted in some caustic crit
icism of Senator Butler Of Massa-
chusetts, the National Chairman
of the G. O. p. II is only ( h e
Presidents friendship for Mr..
Butler that holds him fast to his
post as political dictator Of the
Republican Party. During the
last campaign. Butler and the
other party chiefs did not play
happily together.
While the subject of house
cleaning in the Senate is fire.
quently mentioned, there is some
talk of enforcing regularity by
removing Senator Borah as Chair
man of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. The Idaho
Senator is not "a regular" Re-
publican and is usually at odds
with the administrators pro-
gram. especially in foreign re-
lations. The conservative element
regard him as tempermentally
unfit for this post and would
like to substitute another sem
ator for the Craftsmanship whose
opinions coincide with the execu-
tive departments. However, the
seniority rule still prevails. and
it will require a tremendous
amount Of pressure to relieve SEN
ator Borah from this job.

SANDSTONES NEW THEATRE
TO SHOW GREAT PHOTOPLAY
THE Ten Commandments

One of the marvellous feats of
photography in this great pro-
duction is the OPENING OF THE
RED SEA. The parting of the
waters to allow the Israelites to
pass through.
The waters of the sea actu-
ally divide. A path is opened.
On the side, huge walls of water
glisten. the Children of Israel
walk through and arrive safely
on the opposite shore. Pharoh's
chariots follow. They are about
to reach safely when the waters
close. Men and animals are tos-
sed around and drowned in the
angry sea. 1t is one of those
scenes which is breath-taking.
The New Theatre at Sandstone
will show this great picture three
nights, Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday next week. Oct. IL. IA

Like a who dwells alone
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
