They lost. The Borah-Simmons coalition defeated the Hoover proposal by majority of five.

There are democratic senators who are protectionists, that is, they would like to vote to protect certain industries and certain commodities that flourish In their own commonwealth. Truth is, ultra prose leaders, who are not senators, have the national lawmakers jumping one way and dread of the farm vote in Western and Northwestern states have the national lawmakers Jumping another way. They are between the devil and the deep blue sea. Harllngen Office, Reese-wn-Mond Hotel. Phone 1020.

Output of the gasser is estimated at 3.000,000 cubic feet dolly. It is south of the town of Sedan on the old Joansburg area. Texas gas producers are shipping their product to Colorado cities, to cities and towns in South Dakota and Nebraska as well as cities and towns In southern Iowa and Missouri. Pipe line owners are said to be taking down fat profits. Of course business is business but when the Texas wells go dry or become dusters, what will happen to natural gas consumers way down here in Again, is there an export tax on gas? Pennsylvania hard coal mine owners placed an export tax on hard coal shipments to consumers In outside states.

Tills serves to swell the general revenue fund of the commonwealth founded by William Penn. By H. 1 PHILLIPS Main Problem For Statesmen A wise correspondent of the Associated Press, with headquarters in the city of Washington, writes that "the freedom of the seas is the wain problem for statesmen and has mocked diplomacy sines; the beginning of the republic." This is true. For centuries Great Britain has claimed to be the mistress of the seven seas and for four centuries the navies of England have been the terror of nations. Great Britain and the United States fought three v-ars over the freedom of the seas and the problem became a most acute problem in the early days of the World war.

Now It may be possible for the statesmen of world to solve this problem of centuries, but why should any or.e nation be the master or the mistress of the seven seas? WHY YOUNG BRIDES ARE UNHAPPY (Copyright, 1929, by The AssMiated Newspapers) The scene Is the home of the newlyweds. The wife, cj-umpling a newspaper and throwing it to the floor, appears very dejected as her husband enters). He: What's the matter, dear? She: Oh, I'm just unhappy, that's all. He: But why, darling? We've been married only a few weeks, you know. She: I know It, but you just don't treat me you don't do the little things that please a girl.

He (puzzled): But what haven't I done, dearie? She (with a glance downward at the first page of the crumpled paper): Well, for one thing, you never take me to Central America, He: Central America? She: You've never even suggested a trip to Panama City, Havana, Jamaica, or any of those places. He: I don't She: Here I've been your wife three months and I'm yet to fly over a buried city of the ancient Mayas. He (beginnng to sense that she's been, reading the papers): Really my dear, I never even thought She: You don't think it's exactly fair to make a wife stay on the ground all the time, do you? He: Perhaps not, dear. Well, I'll save up and get a plane just as soon as I can, honey, and take you on some nice long flights everywhere. SheC still dissatisfied): That isn't all.

I'm disappointed about our wedding. He: What was wrong? She: Well, we didn't have any governors or congressmen present and your father came right out and told reporters what his bridal gifts were. He: I couldn't help that. She: And you didn't take me to the Maine woods and chop wood. He: You didn't ask me to.

She: You ought to know, If you read the papers, that the place to go on a honeymoon this season is the Maine woods and chop wood. He: But I hate chopping wood. She: You could chop a little Just enough for the cameramen. He: I'm sorry, darling. She (weeping): I think it's terrible! He (trying to console her): Now you just cheer up and give me a chance.

I'll work hard and get an airplane, an axe and everything. She (tearfully): Promise? He (resolutely): Promise! JUST WHEN THE FISHING IS GETTIN GOOD! Health and Right Livinj By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. "t- U.

Personnel of Lobby Probe Group Brings Out Signs of Nervousness By CHARKLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Oct. ID--In any bad 'sense of the word, no lobbying whatever Is done in Washington, according to the representatives of nil the interests which keep legislative agencies of one sort or another on the Job in the capital. Every one of these outfits can give a perfectly satisfactory account of its activities--if not too embarrassingly questioned.

Nevertheless most of them show signs of nervousness just at present. The personnel of Senator Caraway's lobby investigating committee Is of a sort of threaten that the line of questioning WILL be embarrassing. Even a legislative agent whose conscience is pretty clear realizes that his work is liable to be presented in an unfavorable light. The Caraway committee looks like dangerous medicine for lobbyists--provided It finds any. It is spoken of as the "Caraway committee" because the Arkansas introduced the resolution for the lobby probe and is chairman of the Inquisitorial body.

In ii wav, it might be called Senator Norris' committee; the Nebrnskan appointed it. It is generally agreed that he appointed a corker. It happened thus: The Caraway resolution had been hanging fire for about a year-- poohpochcd by the senate element which considers any sort of nn investigation a past--when the Shearer inquiry broke unexpectedly and unavoldly, and gave the subject of lobbying such a fillip that the Arkansan managed to get action on his before the hush-hush folk had time to St ln a final effort to smother the thing, the hush-hushcrs did con- 1 rive to get the resolution referred committee, and there, if they I right one, it would but a fatal er- ror probably due to their hurry, they sent it to the judiciary committee, of which the vilently unmanageable Senator Norls Is chair Grabbing his fountain pen, Norris instantly jotted down, as a subcommittee to tear lobbying wiae open, the names of: Senator Crraway, chairman, and to help him.

She felt happier than she had for weeks. But her happiness was not for long. She began pulling on the silk stockings Kenessa had given her-carefully make sure she wouldn't start a' run.

Then she discovered that, mysteriously, an inch- wide run had started down the front of one of them. She sat for a moment, staring un- bslievingly, her heart sinking 'so 'that she could hardly breathe. They were her only pair! Tearfully she went to her suit case and brought out a pair of the familiar lisle and cotton ones. They looked so cheap and heavy besides the silk wreck on the floor that she i i less baby.

But they do say there are plenty of new kinds. For instance, there is a lot of talk of the "social so it's gossippcd, will take up a promising young member of one of the two houses of congress, and his ambitious frau and their debutante daughters, if they have any, and speedily make "somebodies" of them in the most exclusive circles provided the office-holder of the family responds approximately to his name when the roll Is called in his branch of the national legislature. It also is often worth a politician's while to have his recommendations heeded when appointments arc to be made in his home bailiwick.
