00DGIN6 PROHIBITION ISSUE
Congressmen Do Not Want to Record
Vote, Thus Incurring Opposition of
One Side or the Other—Southerners,
Formerly Opposed to Prohibition,
Now Strong Advocates.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 9, (Special)—As
reports are received from different
parts of Mexico ubout the outrages
committed on American citizens and
the methods by which the Mexicans in
Vera Cruz couducted their warfare are
disclosed in private letters, bitter com
ments are made against Mexico and
the Mexicans, and there Is a general
demand amoug such people for a dec
laration of war against those respon
sible.
At the same time 1 think that the
positive assurance that has been quiet
ly whispered about for the last week
or ten days that there will be no war
against Mexico has been received with
thankfulness by most people.
It is said that l'resldent Wilson has
given assurance that nothing but the
most extraordinary and flagrant out
rages against the government will
force ac(ual hostilities by this country
in Mexico further than we have al
ready gone. There is an Intense de
sire that some sort of peace shall be
patched up and. If possible, that the
Mexicans shall be left to run their own
affairs iu their own way.
Do Not Want a Vota.
There are a lot of men In congress
who do not want a rote on either
the prohibition resolution or the wom
an suffrage resolution. In some dis
tricts it will not make any difference
to the member about his vote on these
questions. In others the casting of a
vote may mean defeat Naturally there
is an effort on the part of men to pro
tect their fellow partisans and not
force a vote on these two troublesome
questions.
I remember away back In a congress
presided over by Tom Iteed that a man
from South Dakota. Major Pickler, who
was an intense Prohibition advocate,
often put the Republicans in a hole by
his methods, much to the disgust of
Speaker Iteed. Whenever it was pos
sible Pickler would offer a Prohibition
amendment to some bill. The Demo
crats would generally vote in commit
tee of the whole to put this amend
ment in the bill and then demand a yea
and nay vote when the bill came Into
the house and thus force the Republic
ans to be recorded for or against the
prohibition proposition. The Democrats
themselves would voto solidly against
anything like prohibition, and it left
the Republicans responsible in their dif
ferent districts for the way they voted.
It cost quite a number of men their
seats in congress.
A Great Chang* Noted.
Such things cannot happen under
present conditions. In those days there
was not a single southern prohibition
vote, nor were there any prohibition
votes from the Democratic strongholds
of the large cities. Now if a vote is
to be recorded it would be found that
half of the Democrats from the south
ern states would vote for prohibition.
A mighty change has taken place In
the last two decades in the sentiment
of the south on the liquor question. I
do not believe that it would get a two
thirds vote in the bouse, but It would
get a mighty large vote when men had
to go on record.
The Abtent Member#.
Day after day It Is demons tinted that
absentees are causing a loss of time In
the senate and are placing the house
of representatives at the mercy of one
mau. No one can blame members for
leaving the house rather than listen to
speeches of no importance or the tech
nical discussion of bills in which only
a few people are interested, but the re
sults are that any one man can force
a roll call and thus consume a great
deal of time. If a man desires to
talk he will consume time, and If they
shut him off he will make a point of
uo quorum and cause a loss of time.
There are often criticisms made in
the bouse against the senate being
dominated by one man who wants to
filibuster, but It happens In the house
whenever there are so many men ab
sent
A Shot at 8moot.
Every member of congress, whethei
in the house or senate, who seems tc
kuow pretty much everything aboul
everything, is apt to get called dowt
at times, and occasionally somebody
takes a little shot at Reed Smoot Th«
Utah senator interrupted Senatoi
Smith of South Carolina the other day
and the southern man Father resent
fully remarked, "Oh, I would leave al
knowledge of all affairs to the senatoi
from Utah!"
Telling It to 0'Gorm»n.
This Is the way a diplomat like Sena
tor Iloke Smith of Georgia told Sena
tor O'Gorman of New York that his
Irish ancestry had prejudiced hin
against Great Britain. "I trust thf
distinguished senator from New iori
will pardon me for observing that hli
bright mind does not possess all of lb
usual Judicial qualities when Greai
Britain Is Involved."
Her
Investigation
By MARTHA V. MONROE
John Ackermnn had proposed to ricl
en Markley and was accepted on con
ditlon. Helen was n practical, farsee
lng girl. She resolved before their en
gagement was published to the world
—Indeed, before It was suspected—to
Inquire about him.
She had the frankness to tell him
what she was going to do. Lie said
that he would bo willing to have her
take that-flnd any other precaution she
thought proper and was quite willing
to wait for his answer until she had
satisfied herself in,the matter.
One thing Ackerman insisted on
which his tiancee balked at. He wish
ed to hear the reports she got of him
and who made them. Miss Markley
didn't think this would be honorable
in her. Ackerman replied that there
could surely be no harm in her telling
him who had spoken well of him, and
it was his right to know who had
spokeu ill of him. She yielded the
point and agreed to tell him all.
The nest three months were rather a
trying time between the lovers. When
Miss Markley heard her lover well
spokeu of she was very gracious to
him. When some one spoke ill of him
she conkl not conceal the effect it had
on her. When two of the three months
had elapsed she wrote him a note,
breaking the engagement between
them. lie called on her and she re
fused to receive him.
He wrote her a note stating that he
supposed some one had spoken ill of
him and reminded her of the agree
ment that he should hear the good and
the bad. She replied that she had de
cided against him on the testimony of
one whose word was unimpeachable,
and nothing he could say would serve
to eradicate the impression that had
been made upon her.
It Dow seerneu 10 .wr. .-vi-uCFium
It was time to depart from the dei'en
slve and take up ttic offensive. He
bad well understood from t lie begin
ning tbat If Ills tiancee could get per
sons to talk about him as they really
felt tbere were plenty who would
speak 111 of hiui. The shortest way to
ueutrnlize what these persons said was
to have a few words spoken by M.p
posed friends of Miss Markley when
the time came t> use them. He there-1
fore made inquiries about her on tin
same lines she inquired about him
Sluce be could not get :i word with her
he Bred n preliminary shot.
He wrote her of his investigations
which he said be did not iu the least
value, but he had kept a written list
of them that he would be pleased to
compare with what she had gathered
about him. This put a different face
on the matter. Miss Markley was not
only curious to know what people hail
said about her, but she did not wish
the man she had discarded to be prej
udiced against her. She consented to
a meeting.
Ackerman called with a little memo
randum book In his pocket. Miss
Markley received him coldly and ask
ed him to produce his notes.
"First," he said, "is what was told
me by Miss A. when 1 asked her what
kind of a person you were."
"She hates me."
"Nevertheless she spoke highly of
you. 'Miss Markley,' she said, 'is a
lovely girl.'"
"The serpent."
"Now," said Ackerman, "I have giv
en you one criticism of yourself. 1
would like to hear one criticism, the
one that decided you to drop me. Per
haps I may be content with his name
alone."
"Paul Oiintpr."
"That is quite sufficient. 1 hold Mr.
Gunter's note for ipTiix). He gave it to
me in lieu of being criminally prose
cuted by me for a proceeding which,
to say the least, was Irregular."
Ackermnn, who spoke these words
with a change of manner, arose to go.
"Have you the note?"' asked Miss
Markley.
"1 have, hut it is under lock and key.
You are the only person except Mr.
Gunter and I who knows that I pos
sess It."
"Where are you going?"
"There is no necessity of going any
further in this matter. Thus far there
has beeD no betrayal of confidence, at
least by me. 1 have proved that your
plan of getting opinions about the man
you would marry Is a failure."
"What is a girl to do?" moaned Hel
en. "When she consents to liuk her
life with a man she takes a step in the
dark."
Aekerman had gone to the door and
placed his band upon the knob. He
turned and walked buck to her.
"It is that step in (lie dark that
leads me to forgive you for what you
have done. Marriage, you know, has
been truly called a lottery, a lottery
for the man as well as the woman.
But we must take It or fail to fulfil!
our natural destiny. Every woman be
fore marriage should, so far as possi
ble. learn what she can about the
man she expects to marry, but she can
only learn through others of his gen
eral standing In the ion unity. What
he is In his inner self >' annot learn
from others. Folltie p - >ns will speak
well even of an enemy: prejudiced per
sons will And it difficult not to malign
those against whom they are preju
diced."
The next day the engagement be
tween Mr. Aekerman and Miss Mark
ley was announced, livery one who
congratulated either of tbem spoke
well of the other.
