Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, and the post mortems that Quickly ensued found leaders of all factions passing the blame around. The assertion, a repetition of a statement by Senator Reed in a speech in Philadelphia over the week end, led to a free-for-all political discussion which saw republican regulars and independents quarrel ing over the attitude of President Hoover; democrats and republicans demanding that the president state Vi i f nMritinn V a liill on1 nil fi nallv agreeing that the 'senate must get down to serious business and pass some sort of measure. Although Reed predicted the bill would die in conference with the house. Senator Smoot, Utah, in charge of the measure for the fi nance committe, assured the senate that ' no Effort was to be made to kill the legislation in conference and that it would be handled s any other bill when it reaches that stage. Johnson Starts the Trouble. Senator Johnson, California, start ed the debate by calling attention to conflicting newspaper accounts, one to the effect that the coalition of democrats and western republicans was succeeding in writing: the type of hill th nresident wanted, and the other quoting Senator Reed as say- ire the bill was dead. proide "b sta erne rEinB ret- tion ot the flexible provisions, John- son said members of the executive department had used the "party lit;h to whin senators into line on the nronosition, yet no cue knew how Mr. Hoover stood on rates. The Californian said it was "up othe executive to say whether he wants one kind of a bill or another. Reed Insists It Is Dead. Senator Reed said he had been quoted correctly about the bill being dead and still was of that opinion. He based this belief on the fact that the coalition had placed the export d. tak it, in favor of both these steps, he said. a hopeless deadlock was in sight between the two houses The Pennsylvania senator said that if the usual course were fol lowed and he were named a sen ate conferee he would insist upon retention of the debentur plan and repeal of presidential power over rats, unless the senate instructed its conferees otherwise. He opposed both proposals in the voting. Chairman Smoot said it was up to the senate itself to decide whether there was going to be a bill. He had not heard of a single sen- ator saving he did not want the mea- o,, rooi t ti coi.r, ci.i and wanted the senateto understand that he had no intention of killing it in conference. Has doubt of Agreement Senatoi Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader, said there never had been any probability cf a con- ference agreement during the extra sesion. vhile the senate could pass the bill at this session, he "warned the republicans that they would have to take - heir share of the responsibil ity for "whatever happens to this poor miant. S.c!iukr Harrison, Mississippi, sug gested that the president take the re publican leaders into his confidence and lot "cither one or the other side of the republican groups know where he stands. Senator Fees, Ohio, disagreed with this, fcajing it was the exclusive duty of ccngiess to legislate without "or- dc-rs from the president." Uorah Places the Blame. After Senator Borah insisted the . . I reason ror the cnaotic situation in which the senate found itself was due to the tariff framing commit- tees going beyond the limited re- vision recommended by the presi dent, Stnator Fees drew forth the repuL15f.au platform which Borah helped write. He said it promised tariff relief to suffering industries as well as to agriculture. Agriculture and industry should ne treated cn tne oasis or the re spective merits of each item, Fess added. "The hope for getting the bill thru is fading," Fess said. "If we proceed at the present rate, it will take one year and five months." Senator Simmons of North Caro lina, minority spokesman on the tar- f, said that action in the senate 'son disclosed" that he committee bill did not have the support of a majority of the senate. The trouble arose out of one fact that we are considering a bill tne ajority does not approve," he "We ought to be advised .whether tempt' to get redress, for their in- ooey tne commanas oi jenovun, Wie the president stands lor this Din as 1uries sunereu, iur men fi wntr rcported by the finance committee J Th; careful and competent auto- tne cause of tneir chastisement, or is desirious of what the coalition c"?f a" many Instances, When tfce .Israelites- wandered is attempting to do with it," asserted bl!?no away from' God and repented and the Californian. noias tne sacK. iie isincuii returned to their allegiance with the i :-r ,v .iai:i uaiisfi ii aviutrui iuiuue,ix Pothor thev nrntiwrert .inr prp r.nt pbenture nlan in the bill and had tielh century, may well consider it t i. uu, lo U11!U ' 1 , en the flexible provisions out oi the "Highway Age." . u ..n- 'v. , two actions which he predicted In i900 paved roads were almost P1.01 "'.""i.7 , T.'T e" the house majority would not sano- unknown.

The minority feels it is under a heavy responsibility to the country for the writing of this bill." Simmons said the bill could not be killed in conference unless the majority of the senate considered. If the president could control the house, he added, then the bill would be killed, but the responsibility would rest with the executive. Get Back to Schedule. After the turmoil over party re sponsibility, the senate returned to consideration of rates in the chem- icals, oils, and paints schedule and adopted another batch of republican committee amendments providing both increases and decreases in exist- ing duties. The drive to be made by Senators Jones of Washington and Thomas of Idaho, both republicans, for blanket increases in these rates to an ad- valorem minimum of 45 nercent was 1 postponed after Chairman Smoot urg- ed that committee amendments be disposed of first. Party and group lines Eplit on two rollcalls on the committee pro- posal to eliminate the house in- crease of 1 percent a pound in the 7 1-2 cents duty on the olive oil weighing with container less than forty pounds. An amendment by Senator Wagner, democrat, ftew York, to cut the rate to six cents was defeated, 67 to 8, and then a proposal by Senator Goldsborough, republican, Maryland, to increase it to 9 1-2 cents rarried 43 to 34. On the Wagner proposal, 23 dem- ocrats and 4 4 republicans voted against, and two republicans and six democrats supported it. Golds- borough's amendment drew 35 repub- licans and eight democrats to its support and 23 democrats and eleven republicans against it.--State Jour nal.

When scientists advance the theo- ry. that the worlds were made bv what is known as the Nebulous Theory, they produce what they think a very strong argument to sustain their belief. The Bible says "in the begining God created the heavens and the earth, and that the earth with without form and void. and that darkness covered the face I nf Ihp deer. " Aln Is envs that rhir- ing the period when the earth was forming for the reception of man, that it was always by the edict of God the Creator and no matter about the Nebular Theory, God was behind it all. There must of necessity be some way of conducting so large an operation as the universe, and so the Creator thereof rightly should say just how it should be conducted and m this way, Jehovah enunciated a law. If we who are mortals are try ing to conduct the governments of the world, are but mortals and the Father devine, we must of necessity have laws, to govern our affairs. I Laws are instituted for the bene- fit of the governed and eminating from the sovereign power, which is from God. Our laws are patterened after God's laws, and as such are aimed to be as just as we are mortals can make them We make mistakes, and when we do we have the re course as a people to alter and change them. Such was the declaration of the preamble of the Constitution of the united states, we nrmiy oeneve the greatest nation on earth. Laws Enacted For Man's Benefit.

BKIGGS ed, they sang songs of praise to the God whom they left their former home and came to America to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience, and the inspiration of the scriptures. As America has depended on the observance of the laws found ed upon the Bible they have pros pered. Of course America has made some mistakes, but in the main she has endeavored to observe the com mands of Jehovah, many of the laws engrafted in cur constitution and statutes are from the Bible and the commands of God. Christ the Exponent of Law. During the earlier years of the world's history, the people often for got God and were punished there fore. In fact at the time of the flood, they had become so wicked, it look ed like there was nothing to save. However, God did save eight people in the ark, and started the world anew. The first act was to pledge to Jehovah obedience and the rainbow spanned the arch of the sky, as a testimony between God and man. that the world should not again be de stroyed. Still they tinned, and the race was in condemnation, and the Father of all, sent His Son, Jesus the Christ, to pay the penalty, with his life that we might be given a chance through grace, as we had for feited; it througn the technicality cf law. Why Should We Obey the Law. When in the beginning, Cod creat ed the heavens and the earth, fit ting it a very paradise for us, we forfeited that, he destroyed the peo ple that a new race without sin might Inhabit the land. Then he sent his son to pay the penalty of our sins, and when the Saviour came it was to pay the sins of all minkind from the earliest glimmerings of the history of the world, until the last person shall inhabit this globe. The plan of salvation is open and free to all who will accept. When God the Father and Chrit the Son, lrave done what they did for man kind, looking at the matter In the attitude of gratitude, for the bless ings conferred, we should unless we are ingrates. observe the laws of mankind, which are patterened after those of C.oi, and obey them. Not alone tacidly do this, hut be earn est in our observance of them and in seeing that others do so. Obey the laws, and if we are presuaded that they are not right, change them, but do not be a slacker by failing to observe and obey them and use all cur influence tn work in conjunc tion with the best nation on earth, in making that nation the very best possible.
