Senate SEATS
DAVIS, DESPITE
NYE'S PROTEST
Former Secretary of Labor
Sworn In; Accepted by
So to 27 Vote.
FIGHT TO BE CONTINUED
Probe Chief Insists Total
Expenditures Will Run
Over Million.
By United Press


WASHINGTON. Dec. flames J.
Davis Of Pennsylvania was sworn in
as a senator today over the objec-
tons of Chairman Nye of the cam
paign expenditures committee. Da-
Wis was seated by vote of So to 27,
which prevented Nye from delaying
the oath.
Davis thus was carried over the
most difficult hurdle of his fight.
The Nye committee still intends to
check up reports of additional ex--
penditureS said to amount to about
$1170C0 Nye estimates the total ex-
penditures in behalf of Davis in the
Pennsylvania primaries last sum-
ner will reach $4,000.
In the Newberry case in 1922 the
senate declared expenditure of
$4,000 to be contrary to the best
interests Of self-government.
However, with Davis now in his
seat, a two-thirds vote would be re-
quired to unseat him.
Nye to Continue Fight
Immediately after the vote, Chair
man Nye said emphatically: This
is not the end" He said he was
confident that more than 100000
would be shown to have been spent
by the Davis-Brown ticket in
Pennsylvania.
For a time it seemed Davis might
be compelled to stand aside in
definitely. When he appeared in
the senate at noon, having just re-
linquished his post as secretary of
labor, Nye asked that he step aside
and wait until the committee had
inquired into reports Of additional
primary expenditures.
Deadly silence fell over the sem
ate. Davis wiped his hands nerv-
ously with his handkerchief and
glanced. about the crowded galleries.
Dream Almost Shattered
His dream of being the only man
to step directly from the cabinet
into the senate without losing an
hour from the federal pay roll was
in danger of being shattered.
His plea to President Hoover to
be allowed to do this already had
resulted in delaying the installation
Of his successor, William M. Doak,
as secretary of labor beyond the
time he could have gone in under a
recess appointment. Doak now must
wait until he is confirmed by the
senate before he can take Office.
But just as Davis appeared
doomed to a long wait outside the
senate door, Senator David A..
Reed (Rep.. Pa, who led the I'M
successful fight for the seating of
William S. Ware, asked that Nye's
resolution to refer the matter to
committee be laid over for one day.
Nye insisted on an immediate
showdown and Vice-P President Cur
tbs sustained him.
Shakes Nye's Hand
After the vote, Reed escorted
Davis to Curtis desk and Davis was
sworn in at 1888 p. m. Nye imme-
diately offered his hand to the new
senator and Davis shook it cordi-
ally.
just before the senate met, Nye
announced his committee would in
quire further into the Davis cam
paign expenditures Wednesday. He
expects to question Samuel Vau-
claim, who headed one of the Davis
campaign committees. He also ex-
meets to question Genrpn 2 Weauer

Such is the suggestion OF
George J. Marott as a counter
proposal to the insult plan
of service at COST" behind
which bondholders have been
gathered to force through a
refinancing program for the
street car lines, now in receiv-
ership.
Marott has been in the forefront
of every movement Tor civic growth
for nearly half century. He knows
the utility field. He has built and
operated street car and interurban
lines and power companies. No in
weston in his companies ever lost
a dollar. None of his companies
ever went into the hands of re-
ceiver.
Street Cars Obsolete
Street cars are becoming as OBJ
solete as the old horse-drawn hack,
says Marott. THE city Of the flu
ture will have bus lines, not car
tracks. Traffic problems will force
this change, as will the desire of
the people for better transportation.
THE city can widen all necessary
streets, purchase the necessary
BUSES and carry all the people for
much less money than the addi-
tional funds which the insult peo-
pie suggest they will furnish to re-
build and re-equip the lines.
1.-THE legislature at once should
pass an act permitting the city to
own and operate such lines and
providing for directorate repre-
sentative of all business, industrial
and home owning interests that
would insure against political con-
troll or management. This can be
done.
There is much less to be feared
from public ownership under such
conditions than there is from high
finance, with the modern invention
of holding company to take out
part of the profits and increase the
cost of common necessities.
Advises Narrower Buses
''Under my plan, the new buses
would be built on narrower lines
than the present archaic types. They

lines would have the exclusive use of
the strip of pavement next to the

would be compelled to run through

would take passengers from the
walks and land them there.

THE NEWNESS OF THE NOW
Perhaps New Years day is picked
out as the one day you reform be-
cause of the fact that so many on
this day are detected and melancholy
after their nights hilarious celebra-
ton Of the evening before. New
Years eve seems to be the n holi-
day celebration in the year where oil
restraint is thrown aside and so many
seem to think it is absolutely neceS-
sary to celebrate dangerously.
Those Of my readers who awaken
sl~eepy-eyed this morning may have
good reason for having thoughts OF
reform, but would 1t not be better for
all Of us today to stop meditating
upon the bad habits of yesterday, and
determine to do some positive think
ing in creating habits which will
make for health and happiness? The
eternal NOW is the only time really
worth considering. The only time we
are ever really conscious Of is the
.ever-present now. If there is any
time ever best for starting a good
habit. 1t Is nov. The one who can
expect no future of happiness or
health Is the one who always thinks
of the future as tomorrow. and does
not consider the all importance of
the present moment.
AS you lay your paper down after
reading this article. think of the first
good thing you can do. Perhaps 1t is
some immediate act of kindness or
generosity. It may be that you arc
Just about to sit down to the table.
If that is so, you will never have a
better time in your life for starting
the good habit of eating a sensible
meal for your health's sake. There
will be enough things on the table
that you can use which you know
to be healthful foods. Refuse those
! other foods in front of you about
| which there can Re the slightest sus-
picion.
Perhaps you have not been out for
a long walk today. II not, now Is
q god time to start. Go out and walk

and each day try to increase the dis

! your strength and endurance.
Perhaps you have been careless II

and drinking too much.
If you are ever going to make any
serious change for the better. you
must not put off making this change
until tomorrow or any other time, put
do it at once, even though your
habits of living undergo a very radl-
cal change even this very daytime
first day of the year 1880!
Lay out a plan for yourself TO-DAY
and follow it toda,v. At the same
time, it is also wise to make plans
for each succeeding day. Determine
how many hours you should spend III
your work. how many hours Tor sleep
and how many for recreation ana
study. Most people a do well Win
eight hours for work and elght iiouro
for sleep. Most of the harm from
bad habits comes from those when
are practiced the o.her eight hours
of the day. Determine how you can
use those eight hours to the best al
vantage. There will be plenty OF
time for outdoor exercises or ndoor
calisthenics. plenty of time Tor gong
occasionally to tne theatre. and many
hours when you car study, either
with private teachers or from inc
thousands of wonderful books which
record the thoughts and deeds of the
greatest minds in history. Try spand-
ing an hour or more each day with
such thinkers as Shakespeare and

Create your new constructive habits
for health and efficiency % that each
day of this year you will be full OF
increasing happiness and satisfac-
ton.

Editorial Comment
Still Fighting the st. Lawrence
Detroit News


In the national rivers and harbors congress. held in
Washington, q resolution was introduced by opponents of
the st. Lawrence waterway condemning the expenditure
Of governments funds for waterway development outside
the United States. It was directed at the plan under
which the United States would improve the international
section of the st. Lawrence, leaving for Canada the
work Of improving the all-Canadian section.
1t is rather late In the day to raise that issue, for right
here at our doors there Is an example of the cxpendi-
ture Of American government money on a Canadian i'm
~provement. against which no word Of criticism has been
raised. Nearly all of the Livingstone channel lies within
the Dominion Of Canada. It was built by the United
States at a cost Of 100000. in round numbers. It is
used by American and Canadian boats alike. and no
questions asked: just as the Amherstburg channel. ais
in Canadian waters. but dredged by Canada. is used by
ships of both nations with no regard for the boundary
line.
A country that will get as much benefit from the COM
pletion Of the st. Lawrence waterway as will the United
States should have no disposition to bubble about whose
money is spent, and where, so long as there is an
equitable division of expenses. The resolution introduced
at the rivers and harbors congress should be recognized
for exactly what 1t is-an attempt to put a ~quibbling
obstacle in the way Of q much-desired international i'm

Alaska Rail Critics Overlook Benefits
Seattle Daily Timesl

N0S0tt4c AdAAy AuCoJ
Eastern newspapers have shown some concern over the
moderate increase In the annual deficit Of the Alaska
Railroad. The operating loss for the fiscal year Of 1929
$058.4l4, an increase Of Sill. O24. or 1871 per cent over
the preceding year. Considered in relation to Alaska's
vast contribution to the wealth Of the nation. the deficit
Is unimportant. There was q substantial increase in the
number Of rail line passengers during the year. but freight
revenues decreased. That important economies in opera
ton were inaugurated Is shown by the decrease in ex-
penSeS.
The construction Of the Alaska Railroad was under
taken Is years ago, not with the thought Of making
money In the transportation business. but with the ex-
pectation that it would lead to the development Of the
t~errttorys vast natural wealth. Until the government
has established feeder lines. fostered industries and en-
couraged the development Of resources the railroad cannot
be expected 10 pay. The adoption Of a more liberal policy
toward potential investors In Alaska eventually would pur
the 500 miles Of 1.-The on . paying basis.
Since congress first authorised the construction Of the
road, &66y5ely $50 has been invested. OF the total amount.
$A.3o7.006 represents the capital cost Of the railroads.
while the operating deficits have aggregated 49, 1884.
On the whole, the money has been well spent.
II Is the proud boast OF the Fairbanks Commercial
Club that the undeveloped natural resources Of the ter
ritory would pay the national debt. We paid $,2O0.OOc
for Alaska, and since 1850 approximately t000yO 1000 has
come from Alaskas mines. The yield from the North
lands fisheries has been enormous. Last years ship.

QUESTION AND ANSWERS
RED NOScl

Question: Mrs. E. S. writes: MY
case has been diagnosed as ulcer OF
the stomach. My nose, which has
been red for a long time, has be-
come more SO, and s0re to the touch
within the last two weeks. Might
this indicate cancer Of the stomach?'
Answer: Red nose would not be
an indication of cancer of the Stom-
ach. You may have some local in
lection of the skin, such as erysipelas.
but q red nose is usually a sign OF
extreme intestinal poisoning from
auto-intoxication and constipation.
(Slicon)
Question: K. +. G. writes: Kind
ly tell me, is there any difference III
silica and silicon? Also. do whole
rye products contain a worthwhile
amount of silicon?"
Answer: Silica is the English word
for silicon dioxid. Whole rye docs
not contain a very large amount Of
silicon.
Dangerous Fumes)
Question: Mrs. A. M. asks: Would
a coaloil stove affect ones health?
I use it for cooking and there is con-
stantly an odor from the burnt oil"
Answer: 1t is always dangerous to
use a coaloil, gas or gasoline stove
which does not have the proper vent.
At times carbon monoxide is thrown
off which is highly poisonous and
dangerous. This gas has 10 odor, so
you cannot detect it. The odor from
gas is usually not dangerous, but the
gas may also contain the carbon
monoxide, which you cannot tell
until you are affected by it.

New York Takes Up Prison Reform

New York state. in its planning of prison reform. forced
on it by the recent outbreaks at Dannemora and Auburn
is turning It's thoughts toward a partial or modified form
Of the system of outdoor confinement maintained in
Ontario.
In his message to the legislature on this subject. Gov
ernor Roosevelt advances a proposal to relieve over
crowding by providing environments where the more re-
liable and better behaved convicts can engage in out
door work. It is proposed to put this plan into effect by
supplying prison labor for the excavation and grading for
q new prison at New Attica. What further steps in this
experiment should be taken will be left to the outcome
of the New Attica venture to determine.
There is nothing striking in the other measures pro-
posed by the New York governor. As one remedy toward
discouraging and controlling mutinies he proposes more
guards.
Other prison reformers are proposing All independent
guard corps freed from civil service control and the
separation of the parole function from the disciplinary
by the establishment of a new parole board of three CON-
missioners to serve full time at substantial salaries.
A temporary problem which the New York lawmakers
face is that Of prison industry, the shops at Auburn hav.
ing been burned in the summer mutiny.
