Democratic Attack , The principal attack oa the resolution was based by Democrats oa the ground that it did not properly protect Ameri can rights aad that the United Statev in attempting to negotiate a treaty with Germany and her ally would sit down with feet aad hands tied, and without being sbls to demsnd tho rights won by war. Bepublican held, however, that all right were safeguarded. Representative Garrett, Tennessee, th'; acting Democratic leader, Representa tive Connelly, Democrat, Texas, and Mr. Flood made tho principal speeches gainst tho resolution, all declaring that the chief argument in support of its adoption was that it would pave the way for greater trad with Germany. Failure of th Sennte to accept the House substitute will send the whole question of peace to conference. Movt of the Republican speakers declsred Congress ought not to repeal the war declaration itself, holding it would be regarded' as a repudiation of .the war, but Democrats reminded them that a Bepublican House twice had adopted a peace resolution with that provision.

VmhVII Ieaa who wer hart hit week, whea if wa expected that th hearing would bo pulled off, there wa talk that U esse the judiciary -committee and th Senate pat th hook into th neminao tioa of Frank linney, that the Bemib liean SUt committee would stand pit on it submittal of hi asm, aad with th turn down that it would not submit aaother name. That sounds good as a bit of lighting tactic, but I hav no idea that this would take place. In. fact, if the Republican "''hog eombra,-. former Senator Marlon Butler lev Ingly refer to th Stat ; committee, the Morehead-Iinirey outfit, would do thia there would be other Republican bobbing up with loud and insistent erie for plae on th payroll of th Federal government. So I have, dismiss ed from my mind any idea that th Re publicans will let the job go tagging, aad at tha asm tims permit a Demo crat to hold onto it. Accept Invitation. " President Harding has tentatively o eepted an invitation to be in Now Bern on th 19th of January, 1922, at tho eentury and a half anniversary of the founding of St. John's Lodge, No. 3, A. F. snd A. M., th occasion to be made a great one by tho Masoule fra ternity, of North Carolina. Th invita tion to him wa presented thia moraine by C. D. Bradham of New Bern, a past master of ths lodge, whs is ths chair msa of ths committee in charge ef th event, for whom aa .engagement ' had been made at th White House by Sen ator Simmon snd Congresamsn Brin on, these going also, th three being? a committee appointed" by St. John's to invite th President, a Mason of high degree, to be preeent t th great page ant and celebration. A feature of tho event will be that it will emphasize tho visit to St. Jobs' . Lodge of President George Washington a hundred and thirty year ago, ia 1791, th costume of those taking part ia tho pageant to be of the Colonial type, a duplication of th visit of President Washington to be given. And it is ex pected to bar representatives present ' from the sixty-four colonial lodge of Mason. New Bern being tho home of Sudan Temple of the Mystic Shriae, which now has about 3,000 member tad at Charlotte being Oasis Temple, both of these will co-operate in the big eveat ia Masonic life. VirtaaUy Certain The committee - visiting President Harding expressed themselves as be lag, greatly pleased with the interestiag sad cordial conversation held with the Presi dent, whose virtual acceptance of th in vitation wa given. He examined tha program of the pageant carefully, being especially interested ia th correspond ence between President Washington and the officer of 8t John' Lodge, saying: "Tea, I would like to attend. I will , attend if nothing arise to prevent me from doing o." Andtf no pressing public duty arise President Harding will celebrate is New Bern With th other Masons in January, 1922. At tho . same tim that th New Bern event to going on the Grand Lodge of Mason . will be in session in Raleigh, aad ar- rangements have already been mad tot th Grand Lodge to recess and proceed in a body to New Bera to attead th pageant and celebration.
