ZION ANGELS OX
TRIP TO CONEY ISLAND
Zion, 111., July 5. After an ab
sence of five months Deaconesses
Helen Buhmann and Belle Scheelhorn
known in New York as the "Zoin An
gels" have returned to Zion. Their
trip in the East was successful, so
far as their blue law literature was
concerned, for they sold 12,550
"Leaves of Healing," and gave 10,
675 "messages." They visited Broad
way, Wall Street, some of the big
skyscrapers and department stores.
They were shocked at Coney Island
and called it far worse than Chicago's
"White City." " " '
"It's a very wicked place," they
said of Coney Island.
Everywhere they went, they said,
Chey were known by their salutation,
"Peace be to this house." As soon as
the New Yorkers heard the Zion sal
utation they knew the women were
from the City of Zion, the deacon
esses asserted. "Blue laws," they ex
claimed, and "some were mad and
some were glad," in the words of
the "Zion Angels." For the most
part New Yorkers were wicked, the
deaconesses reported.
"All they think of is pleasure,
money, movies, and dancing," ex
claimed Miss Schelhorn. "They are
dancing all the time."
Whether the deaconesg.es will re
turn to New York or not depends on
Overseer Voliva.

FILE MINORITY REPORT
Criticizing the Republican Ma-
jority of the Committee for
Withholding Bill for Them
Democrats Said They Had
No Time to Draft Substitute
After Bill Was Read.
Washington, July 7. Democratic
members of the ways and means,
committee in a minority report filed
today in the House denounced the
administration tariff bill as a "Con
spiracy to benefit a few favorites at
the expense of all humanity.
"Like every conspiracy it has been
hatched in secret" the report stated.'
"We record a solemn judgment
that this measure is a plan to plun-l
der the people of our own country'
and oppress the people of foreign1
countries to benefit a few men who
have succeeded in usurping for all
practical purposes the taxing power
of this government, using it primar
ily to enrich themselves, and second
arily to finance the ploitical party
which tolerates such conduct."
The report declares the tariff was
not an issue in the last campaign
and this is not the time to write a
tariff law.
The problem which confronts our
people to stifle our commerce and
perplex an amiable admiration for
us have nothing to do with the tar
iff. Criticising the republican majority
of the committee for withholding the
bill from them and from the house
membership generally, and for per
mitting only a week in which to study
'it, the democratic members, declare
there has been an insufficient time to
draft a substitute. They do not un
dertake a detailed discussion of in
dividual schedules in the bill con
fining their report to a general In
dictment of the whole measure and
manner of its preparation.
The two results of the bill were
the probable effect "of the bill on
American commerce and world Indus
trial situation generally and the Sub
stitute of American valuation as a
basis for levying tariff duties.
Pointing to the rapidly decreasing
foreign trade the report says, "We
need no tariff to cut off the imports
and the exports of the United States"
Calling attention to the fact that the
foreign trade of the United States
fell from $1,182,235,449 last July to
$527,378,825 in May, 1921 the re
port says:
"Certainly the natural process is
preferable to the infected knife of in
terested surgeons which by selecting
the industries to protect and those to
destroy can reap the harvest that
campaign contributions ceded ldst
fall. Verily the oil men are entitled
to their reward, and the lumber men
and wool men and all the oihers who
cast their bread on the waters of a
Republican tide."

PROBABLY BE THE BASIS
The Peace Resolution Recently
Adopted by Congress Spe
cifically Mentioned the Ver

Among Republicans.
(By David Lawrence.)
(Copyright 1921 by Daily Times.)
Washington, July 6. As the "irre
concilable" element in the United
States Senate unwittingly played a
joke on itself? This group opposes the
Versailles treaty and would prefer
not to have it submitted even with
reservations but 'Charles Evans
Hughes, secretary of state and law
yer extfaordinary, has grasped one
sentence in the Knox-Porter peace
resolution which has just been signed
by President Harding and that one
sentence is the key to the whole sit
uation. It is that section of the peace
resolution which announces that
while the United States declares a
state of peace" with Germany, the
Washington government does not

publicly to discuss his plans there is
no doubt about the kind of advice he
is giving Mr. Harding. Secretary
Hughes gives the impression of a big
lawyer advising his most valuable
client. He will tell the United States
government what should be done to
safeguard rights growing out of the
European War. He will recommend
certain things as a lawyer and a jur-
ist. It will be up to Mr. Harding as
President and custodian of American
foreign policy to say whether he will
follow law or domestic politics. It is
making considerable noise but the
irreconcilables are not as strong as
they were when the Wilson Admin
istration was in power and the entire
Republican party war' conducting a
general attack. Now it becomes a par
ty matter. One of the irreconcilables
himself privately admits that if Mr.
Harding and Mr. Hughes ,get together
on a program and announce it, there
will be considerable support for the
i
same een from the irreconcilable
group. He predicted that If Mr. Hard
ing made the treaty a party matter
probably only a half dozen votes
would be cast against it. Centainly
true the irreconcilable eiement Is
the Democrats would support the
Versailles treaty even though they
will make a determined but probably
vain effort to retain the clauses re
