Washington, March 29. No legislative issue of recent years has excited Congress as has the controversy over repeal of the toll exempti n claim of tbe Panama Canal act. Lsst week's events, which put on record a breach in the solidarity of the Democrat o Party have caused i.o end of con flicting political predictions to iu orease the tensity of interest in the subject. The situation is fraught with many complications. Oratorical strife over the repeal will be renewed tomorrow. The House will resume general debate on the SimB bills, leading up tea fiual vote in that branoh, proba bly late Tuesday j,uight or Wed nesday. Iu the Senate, discussion will revolve arouud one of the many side issties that have arisen, Senator James Hamilton Lewis proposing to discuss a resolution and bill he has introioced to fol low repeal as a sort of balm to the wounds of his party members, who thus far have opposed th m President. Senator Lewis' ineas-, are would give the President au thority to suspend tolls whenever he should deem it in the public interest so to do. The Illinois Senator will cite a Berie? of pre cedents on which be ba-es tbe right of Congress toeyteud sush authority to the Chief Executive As against the pr 'pssal of Senator Liwis, the Minority leader Sena tor Gallinger will urgi a resolu tion which would express it as the sense of Americans that Congress has the right to do as it pleases with respect to American chip ping through the Panama Canal.

Dunn's Mountain, March 24, Any person who has doubts as to the ability of the ground hog to hold his own, ure respectfully re fered to the weather for the paBt month or so. Bros, Venus and Lee seem to have a mania for - trotting out" things that seem impossible. So be it, however, here is the best and most impossible that I have heard of for some time. A oertain party smoked a cigarette and threw the stump away and before it hit the grcund along came a sparrow, oaught it on the fly, flew to a near by barn and went. to smoking said cigarette stump. Now, if tbe aforesaid Bros, can beat this, trot out your sparrow. The foregoing is true and can be proven. See? Mrs. E. E. Proctor, of Philadel phia, haB returned to that city after a visit to her mother a&d relatives . Mrs. M. J . Caubie does not im prove, but remains about the same. Moses Klutti is building him self a new dwelling house. Our merchant has placed a new stock in his store. Whoopingoough has taken hold of some of the children in our vil lage. The Dunn Mountain school will close next month with appropriate exercises, an aacount of which we will give later. Come, Bro. Lse, wake up, send us in the news. We saw in our paper. The Watchman, A welcome from Billie to Lee. We n era aomewbftfc aurpcisBdl and astonished And everyone else ought to bet We are aware of the faot that our brother Was ready and willing to please. But were not aware of the fact 'sir. That the Bro from G.K.had oheese. The remarks made about our good postman, That he was always on the beat, Were plainly and truly uncalled for, When he has plenty to wear and to eat. Now, that the mud that stioks to hie horses, I think can truly be said, To nothing compared, my dear brother, To the wheels that buzi 'round in your head. You wish for the days to pass swiftly, And your paper you want just at noon, There are others, now don't be so greedy For you're not the man iu the moon. Don't you ever think for a moment That Lee's left holding the bag, For we laughed till we nearly had spasms, When we saw how you mangled the rag, Now your time surely is coming For your hat has gone up to seed, You will surely hare a case of 4 pellagra When this beautif al poem you read. Now don't think we are trying to drag you, So that thought from your mind please release, But the thing you are most in need of Is a big box of good axle grease There is one thing more-now dear brother. Before sending in items of news, Hunt up your old fashioned screw driver And tighten up all your loose screws. In conclusion we wish to say, Bil lie, Whatever you win in the strife, Remember your friend Bro Bart- lette Hopes success will attend you through life, Babtlbttb . j Champ Says Congress Needs tbe Brains, Not Presidency. New York, March 28 Champ Clark, Speaker of tbe House of Representatives, spoke in optimis tic vein today at the Bedford Branch of the Young Men's Chris tian Association in Brooklyn Op timism was tbe Speaker's topic, his discussion covering a wide range of subjects. Asked before he began to say something - about the tolls question Mr, Clark re plied : "There's been too muoh said about it olready." Ho s vid he knew Congress like a book and a: more honest set of men never con gregated. "It doesn't take as muoh sense to be a good. President," he said, as it does to make a good Con gressman. A President has his Cabinet to advise him, while a Congressman has to think for hims If." Speaking of the Monroe Doc trine, Mr. Clark laid that not one )( the S juth American. Republics wou d iiiv.i tx sfced fcrsix months without it "The M)nroe Doctriue is not dead," he asserted, ''and my an gwer to thes" who say it is, is in the answer of that great President, Olevelaud, that we are the sover eigns of this continent and that uo foreign Nation shall colonize without taking the chance of get ting a lickiog from us. "There is civil war in the Mexi oan Republic," he went on, "but did not we have a civil war which destroyed more property and lives than the Mexicans can destroy in 40 years? We came out stronger and better and so will they." Fife Reasons For Letting Whiskey Alone. Dr. Her.ry Smith Williams, of New York, an eminent specialist ter rjervo-nr and mental disease. summing up hii investigations j concerning aloohol and its ef- ects, sayBt ''I am bound to believe, on the evidence, that if you take aloohol habitually in any quantity . what eypTf it is to some extent a menace to you. If you do this, I am bound to believe, in the light of what science has revealed: 1 That you are tangibly threatening the physical strno tureB of your stomach, your liver, your kidneys, yout heart, your blood vesiles, your nervers, your brain; 2. That; on are unequivocally decreasing your capaoity for work in any field, be it physical, intel luotual, or artistic . 8. That you are in some mea sure lowering the grade of your mind, dulling your higher esthe tic sense, and taking the finei edge off your morals; 4. That you are distinctly les sening your chances of maintain ing health and attaining lcnglife; and, 5. That you are entailing upon your decendents yet unborn a bond of incalculable misery."
