In many cases the product of the
scientists laboratory, developed for
specific purposes, has proper ties
which made it inherently better than
the corresponding natural product
which it substitutes. Chemical fer
tilizers contain more plant tood
than natural manure; many syn
thetic drugs are handled with a
greater degree of assurance as to
the result to be produced, than the
natural products which they substl-
tute.

DISAGREEING FIFTH
THE PRESIDENT

The House of Representatives
agrees with President Coolidge that
additional cruisers should not be
built for the Navy. The Senate has
disagreed with the President by a
vote Of 40 to q. The vote in both
Houses is significant because in each
instance the representatives of the
people have apparently voted their
convictions without regard to poll
tics. In former days the leaders
used to crack the lash when meas
ures of this kind were up for a de-
cision-and whatever the President
wanted was apt to go through.
Whether we have advanced in our
or not may not be absolute
ly clear to some people, but every
one ought to feel little satisfac-
ton in the evidence that there is a
growing independence of thought
and action among public officials.

NEGROES IN CONGRESS-

Oues. Please tell me how many
Negro senators and representa-
tives have served in congress since
186O.-Ans. Since the establishment
of the present government of the
United States two Negroes have sat
in the senate. They were Riram h.
Revels who was senator from MISS
issippi in 1870 and 1871, and B. K.
Bruce who was senator from the
same state for the term 1875 to 1881.
There have been q Negro represen-
tatives in the national congress. The
states which have had one or more
Negro representatives are as fol-
lows: South Carolina, Virginia
Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia.
North Carolina, Alabama and Flor

lima. was the last Negro to serve as
a CONGRESSMAN. His second term eX-

Toilet articles made from plasti-

party and country today that he re-

respected and advised his party to
set itself seriously to the task or
selecting another candidate"
The announcement was made in
a speech delivered by the president
to members of the republican national
committee, who called on him at the
White House. The immediate effect
was to electrify meeting which had
been expected only to produce q
polite exchange of generalities.
Mr.. Cooldge's words fell with par
ticular force upon those of his friends
VINO have maintained that despite
his "I do not choose to run" staJe-
rnerlt he had by no means eliminated
himself and would be drafted" in
1928. There remained some mu1nbl-
ingS of speculation, but sor the most
part friends and opponents alike re-
ceived the pronunclahento In silence.
It took but few words for the
president to dispose of his intentions
toward a denomination. He did IL
in these six sentences:
"This is naturally the time to be
planning for the future. The party
will soon place in nomination it's
candidate to succeed me-

Only a few of the committeeman

that such a declaration was coming.
It had been generally understood
among them that they might expect
from the president no elaboration of
the statement of August 2, but would
listen only to a general discussion Of
party issues.
Such a discussion, prepared In
advance, was delivered by the chief
executive and as he went ahead

of his listeners that he might be

Smith-Vare Contest Fight

House by Norris.
C. o. p. TROUBLE:
Regulars and Progressive 9
In Senate Seek Common
Ground.

WASHINGTON Dec. 6 .R)-C Congress
moved into high gear today after lis
tening to the reading of the annual
message Of President Coolidge, but
without waiting to complete The for
malitieS of actual organization, a
problem still worrying the republican
majority in the senate because of fac
tional strife.
The senate launched eagerly into the
long awaited contest over the right of
Frank T. Smith of Illinois and William
S. Ware, of Pennsylvania both re-
publicanS, to OCCUPY seats to which
they were elected, while the house re-
ceived the 236,00C,JO0 tax reduction
bill prepared by its ways and means
committee, along with another mass Of
new measures, including the $198,00O,-
600 deficiency appropriation bill
First attention was given in both
chambers to the reading of the preSi-
dents message, which was received by
the senate in silence, followed by some
caustic comment from southern SEN
ators and with frequent bursts of ap-
plause by the more demonstrative
house.
Following his custom of the last few
years, Mr. Coolidge preferred to have
the message outlining his hopes for
legislation, including moderate tax re-
duction and touching on farm relief,
flood control, and score of other
problems, read rather than be pre-
sented by him in person at a joint
meeting of the two houses.
While the clerks in the senate and
house we're reading his lengthy mes
sage, the president sent to the senate
for approval most of the great number
of recess appointments he had made
during the congressional recess. The
batch of nominations included those
of numerous federal circuit and dis
trict judges, the new ambassadors to
Mexico, Cuba and Turkey. Dwight
Morrow, Noble B. Judah and Joseph
Grew, respectively; the new assistant
secretaries named in the state, treas
ury and commerce departments along
with many other positions.
