I From present indications, the em bargo will be used as a stop-gap un-J til the tax bill has been considered by congress and that body is ready to tackle tariff legislation. Convincing arguments have been made to Mr. Harding which for the moment make it look as if he would favor the enact ment of the Fordney emergency tar iff law in exactly the same form as it i was passed by congress last session only to receive a Wilson veto. Those who favor such a course say that a general tariff bill must be indefinitely postponed until after tax laws are made and further data is available as to the cost of production around the world. It is recognized that this is a period of readjustment and that a tar iff law passed now may have to be re vised within a year owing to economic factors over which this country has no control. The significant thing that stands out in the events of the last two days is that agriculture has forced its way to the front and that the Harding ad ministration which pledged itself to help the farmer is trying to make ' good that pledge.

She prob ably will go to Wilson, 18 miles west of here, for a short visit with her sis ter and later to El Paso, where her father is seriously ill. After a trial lasting a week, the jury in the Hamon case debated its verdict only forty minutes, agreeing upon acquittal on the first ballot. "I am the happiest Woman in the world," Clara Hamon said, with tears streaming down her face when she "heard the verdict Mrs. Jake L. Ha mon, the widow, who attended near ly all sessions of the trial, went home when the jury retired and members of her family said she had not yet been told the verdict. The state's final plea attacked the theory of self-defense on which Clara Hamon's case had been built, but less than an hour after Attorney General S. P.

He was an influential adviser in the last campaign and it looks as if be will be the guiding hand in the Harding agricultural policy. Wrapped up in the whole situation . is1 the question of freight rates. The Harding administration cannot put an I embargo on foreign goods and expect tnat alone to relieve, the farmer for markets abroad must be found. To ship from interior points to the sea board at the present scale of freight - rates is almost prohibitive. While the products themselves have come back ! to levels below the 1914 prices, the "eight rates remain the same. The state of Iowa for example might as well be three hundred miles further west so far as freight rates today are concerned. To lower the freight rates, the rail roads say they must bring about wage reductions. They are trying to bring that about now. The Harding admin stration will resort to emergency measures like the embargo or tempor ary tariff bills but the drive against b'gh freight rates is coming too. The Purchasing power of the farmer has diminished. The eastern manufactur " fear retaliation if America begins the embargo process and interferes w'tn the only opportunity foreign Peoples have of marketing theit goods. The certainty of a great strug gle between the interests of the west and south as opposed to the east is no onger denied in official quarters.

Camp bell White of the New York Bible chool. He declared the devil was a clever fellow and had been given invaluable publicity by being pictured as a mon ster with horns and tail. "The Devil" he said, "was on the job 24 houri a day" in every part of the world and must be fought tooth and nail." Dr. White told the ministers present that they should go back to their churches and have a month of services devoted sdlely to preaching about the devil in order that the people may come to know the devil and his works.

For the past two Sundays the pastor Rev. W. E. Poovey, has been preach ing a series of sermons upon the text! "And He said to them all: 'If any man will come after Me, let him deny him self and take up his cross daily and follow Me'." In his first sermon he developed the thought of "Self-denial" as a prerequisite to discipleship; m his second sermon the necessity of 'Cross bearing," or helping to carry out the will of God against the will of the world; in his third "Consistency" in our daily deeds; and at the evening service he closed the series by re viewing the first three sermons and portraying the ideal life as the one whose hands, brains, heart and pos sessions are consecrated to the bring ing in of. the kingdom. Wednesday evening at the prayer mettdngthe pastor will begin a series of portraits of the Apostles, present ing the portrait of John first. Prior to the evening service the Ep- worth league held a most interesting meeting.

"If beer is to be prescribed in any quantity for everybody who is ailing, there will be no beer,' was the upshot of ' opinions by house prohibitionists. Several members, including some who worked for enactment of the Vol stead law and who believe now that it ought to be tightened up, declared today that former Attorney General Palmer rightly construed the' act in folding that beer, like liquor, could be prescribed for a sick man, but added that they were awaiting with deep concern publication of prohibition de partment regulations prescribing .the manner and amount of beer dispensa- tion. " , While the Volstead act limits the amount of whiskey that may be pre- scribed, there is no provision dealing with beer. Prohibition leaders think It may be necessary to fix that by statute. 1 Predictions are made by several prohibition members that the future policy of congress will depend upon department regulations and a beer tryout. They see no likelihood of any early change in the law by which a physician, may prescribe not more tlian pint of whiskey in any 10-day period. But "going back to pre-prohi- bition days, dry leaders recalled that the sick man's beer supply was rath er liberal, certainly as compared with modern possibilities. It used to be pre scribed by the case,' and three bottles a day oftenwas regarded by physi cians recommending it as a moderate dose. Prohibition enforcement officials de clare they are not responsible for the idea that somehow has spread over the country that the new regulations will permit the sale and drinking of a glass of beer at a drug store fountain. There is not a chance. Druggists alone will be permitted to handle it on . bonafide prescriptions. - In connection with the publication of the department of justice ruling it has developed that the Anti-Saloon league will renew its fight before . congress to eliminate from the Vol stead law the provision j relating to sale of, liquor by prescription, and that its guns will be opened against beer. Meanwhile the scramble contin ues for places on the house judiciary committee, which may settle the beer issue definitely and attempt to tight en up all the loose joints in the Vol stead law. There are eight vacancies, to be equally distributed between re publicans and democrats. If all the seats were given to wets the commit tee still would be dry, but Republi can leaders assert that the party, in making up committee assignments, would take no backward step on the question of prohibition. Chairman Volstead expressed the view today that the membership would be made up without regard) to the beer development, A recent check up, it was said, showed that of more than 100 new members elected to the house the prohibition percentage ran exceedingly high. It is known, howev- l'er, that a number of members repre senting districts oppbsed to prohibi tion, and who are earnestly advocat ing a more liberal policy' with respect to use of light wines and beer, espec ially for the sick, are seeking places on Mr. Volstead's committee, in hope that they might be able to liberalize the law. If they cannot do much along that line they at least' hope, it's said, to keep it from becoming "more drastic- - , .. "Play-at-Earr Dodge Brothers Re-Open. Detroit, Mich., March 18.
