the loyal and free North--those who
have never failed to discharge every
duty to their country-should be
treated with contumely and con-
tempt and even Kissed, as they have
been in the Capitol Of the Nation
and in the galleries of the Senate,
by the slaveholding influence on this
District.

came upon the country, when acts of
treason followed each other in rapid

FARM RELIEF
BILL GIVEN Up
Author Says Hopeless;
Believes Other Mea-
sures Possible

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Nov. 12.-tR
Senator McNary, republican, Ore
gon, came from a White House con-
ference today with the statement
that he realized that final approval
of the MeNary- -Haugen farm relief
bill in its present form was hope
less, but still expressing confidence
that relief measure would be work
ed out and enacted into law.
1t was indicated, however, that an
agreement on a bill was still far
away. While the senator who is
chairman of the senate agricultural
committee, declined to discuss his
conference with Mr.. Coolidge. IL was
understood that he took up in a for
NAL way, a report on relief which
is 70 he made soon by a committee
Of the United State Chamber OF Com
merce headed by former Secretary
Nagel of the commerce department.
This IS the report 10 which the presi-
dent has referred frequently as like
ly 70 throw much light on the agri-
cultural problem and one which may
be examined with great care.
Senator McNary, however, tersely
expressed the opinion that when the
report Is made public il will be more
revolutionary than the vetoed Nc
Nary-Haugen bill was credited BY its
opponents with being. He said that
there still were plans TO reihtroduce
the McNary- -Haugen bill.
