All Summer Session of Congress

Chmn. Reed Smoot Of Utah, the big voice of the
finance committee Of the upper house, has announced
hearings on the tariff bill to start June IL. He pre-
diets the hearings will last six weeks and the rewrit-
ten bill would be ready for the senate by Sept. 1.
Sen. william (. Borah Of Idaho declared the tariff
bill a sham so far as the farmer was concerned: that
the special session was called with a view Of granting
relief to the farmer and since the tariff measure in
its present form was not a farm relief bill. con-
gress ought to stay on the job and finish the work
which we have assigned ourselves"
Is there to be an all summer session Of the con-
Eress? Sens. Smoot and Borah have spoken. Borah
demands a farm relief bill that will give relief: Smoot
a tariff bill that will be ready for consideration Sep

In the death of Col. VIM. 7. Johnston the nation
has lost a heroic soldier. the Twelfth Cavalry has lost
a competent. respected commander and Brownsville
has lost a true friend.
Col. Johnston, dying Just before reaching the end
Of his 64th year and retirement from the army, had
devoted two-thirds Of all his years to the service Of
his country, had performed valiantly in two wars, and
had given even more valuable service in time Of peace.
In recognition Of his heroic attainments the United
States had seen fit to bestow upon him the Distin-
guished Service Medal. one Of the highest decorations
in the power Of the country to grant, and the Silver
Star citation.
The d. S. M. was conferred upon him for con-
spicuous and meritorious service in a position Of great
responsibility. His military record. on file in the Of
flee Of the adjutant general at Washington, says:
He organized and administered the officers train
ag camps from the outbreak of the war until July %,
1913: and thereafter rendered conspicuous service as
Chief of Staff. Southern Department"
The Silver Star citation was awarded for gallantry
in action against insurgent forces during expedition to
the provinces north Of Manila. P. L. during the months
Of September, October and November II, 1899"
Those are cold words to describe the deeds which
won for him special honors. Nothing is said Of the
long hours and untiring efforts TO train officers to
lead the United States armies in the great World war
nothing is told Of the dark nights in the jungles OF
the Philippines, when with head-hunters and BUSH
wackers on every hand. he led his men to the &C
complishmsnt Of almost superhuman tasks. The win
ming of those honors would make a tale worth hear
ing. but Col. Johnston was not the man to tell such
tales. and so. only the cold words Of the military
record relate his attainments.
Brownsville will remember him as a friend who
always was ready to do anything he could for the
development Of the city. and all the Valley will pay
tribute to his unfailing loyalty to this, his last earthly
home.
Officers and men alike at Fort Brown pay tribute
to his determination ANY ordinary man would have
died two years before Col Johnston they say, and
an ordinary man would have been in bed permanently
three years before"
Knowing he could not live long-realizing that the
end of life was near-he carried on.
When his body is laid to rest in Arlington National
cemetery the United States will have laid to rest the
mortal remains OF another hero-a man fit TO lie in
that distinguished company.
