O Under the di rection of Senator Boise Penrose, Re publican - boss of Pennsylvania, .Sen ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa chusetts, and Reed Smoot of Utah, the Sixty-sixth Congress, will legis late forv e United States 'for the next two years, The Old Guard,' with it most reactionary leaders, will be jo the saddle in this new Congress r It- was'' apparent immediately after the November election that these ele ments took, full credit for' the 'overthrow- the" Democrats, and .would pay; little heed to the waitings 'of the "Progressive'' Republicans ' of .Con gress. It is now openly charged by Republicans of the House of Repre sentatives that ', Senators Penrose and Lodge are going to dominate not only the Senate, but also the. House of the next-Congrws. ; ." '-.-- ' The Democrats quil wjth a clean record. - The lack of a controlling ring has been one of the causes of Republican criticism of the Democrats. That, of course, is a compliment to the Democrats. The sound and salu tary legislation they have enacted has been influenced by the people back home and nbt by a little group in Congress. In a word, Congress, un der Democratic control, has been re sponsive to the people. .The legislative record made by the Democrats since they came into pow er is a credit to the party and to the nation. When they took charge of the House ten years ago they found a system that worked to the interest of tha fa-ar nf nit wealth.

The back-room"" caucus' of "the" "leaders" was supplanted by the Dem ocratic -conference. - - , : Th first step of the Democratic majority was to liberalise the rules of Uhe House to insure mora responsive ness .to the people. They reduced the running expnses of the' House by.em inating a lot of useless office-holders. The, example of the House was sojin followed by the Senate. It Is evident now that the Republicans will return to their old way of doing things,; Tb4 ring will-dominate.

He was a student in the Military Institute at Boswell, N. M., when this country en tered the war and was quick to volun teer and was made second lieutenant. Later he was promoted to first lieu tenant and has since been promoted 10 a captaincy, and is perhaps the young est of Uncle Sam's captains. He is a nephew of Mrs. John Wilson and Cress Gaston of this city, and is also a neph ew of Mrs. Ulpian Holt, of Waco, and W, A. Hyatt, of Ranger. He is a native of Stephenville, being the first born of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hyatt.

Plans have also been perfected, it is announced, so that all soldiers who entered the ser vice since the declaration of war, April 6, 1917, and who were discharg ed before the bonus plan was put into effect, may receive this bonus by send ing certain documents and data to "Zone Finance Officer, Lemon build ing, Washington, D.

Following re-, ceipt of such letter, checks will be mailed to soldiers and the discharge papers also will be returned. HOUSE PASSES STATE-WIDE ROAD BILL. After much discussion the House of Representatives of North Carolina adopted the conference committee's report on the Pharr-Mathews road bill and the last draft on the subject is almost law. There is only one more change contemplated, giving the coun ties a little more optional power, and this will probably be passed in a sup plemental act The Senate was the first to yield to the contention of bonds or no bonds. The committee then split the differ ence between county system and State system, providing for the county to use the Federal aid under the direc tion of the State Highway Commis sion. The county and State commis sion to agree on the location' of trunk . roads. "The bill as adopted provides that the county shall pay one-fourth the cost The county that puts up Its fourth first gets preference In oon Strnctibn work, but whether the county comes" in or not on a trunk highway. the . scheme is not prejudiced except as to priority of building. . ' The county unit system was killed by a telegram, from the Bureau of Public Roads stating that the Federal department would deal only with the State Highway Commission.
