WASHINGTON LETTER By C. H. Tavenner WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 1. ---Having truck n trail lending to 'In- front door of the house of John I) Rocke feller, and other trails ending nt the doorstep of oih t millionaire tnwi magnates, the steel trust Inveatlgat Inn committee of the House of Rep resentatives ha been mi mm aril. v commanded by Wall afreet to bring to probe to a hall. The Stanley committee la in poa aeealon of evidence sufficient to con vict the ateel truat of obtaining re toetes, r preferential divisions of rates which amount to rebates, from the railroad amounting to millions of dollars The evidence haa nut be oome public for the reaeon .that the committee haa not had time to reach., In public hearing, thia feature of the truat' wrortgdotngi. This Invent Ifrht loll hiuat be atop ped!" It the coinnianii that went out of Wall street aeveral weeka ago. "Set .in hte plea that the invention tion ought not procoed because Mr. Wickeraham haa already atarted a uH against the corporation." The ateei truat attorneys carried the ul timatum to the committee In Wash ington. Hut Chairman Stanley stands firm for a continuation of the Investiga tion. "If," anya Mr. Stanley, "the steel corporation has not violated the law, then it will welcome thla oppor tunity to demonstrate Ita obedience to the law In advance of a litigation Which will take years to determine, and If it haa violated the law It will uae all lta tower and all lie Im mense wealth to silence a committee whch can neither be cajoled, de ceived nor corrupted." Congreaa to Be Educated The big financial interests which have their headquartera in Wall atreet have reached the conclusion that it will be worth one million dol lars to "put the Aldrlch banking plan through Congreea." An organisation known aa the "National Citizens' League for the Promotion of a Sound Hanking Sys tem" haa been formed, and the work of raising funds already la under way tn all the big cities of the country. iuat how the money will bo used to "put the bill through" haa not .Deep made clear. In Philadelphia, the funds, as soon aa they are col lected, are being deposited In the Girard Trust Company bank, and to the bankers who subscribed It was explained that "pressuro would be, brought to bear on the niembere of Congreaa." i .

The attendance lor the school year ha been better thus far than It was all last year; more Certificate of Award have been laaued already than were In the entire year, last school year. In the spring the pupils hold ing two Certificates of Award will be given a Diploma of Honor. We hope the pupils will continue working for a perfect attendance retrod and be awarded these Diplomas of Honor. Those teachers who have not secured the reading circle books are urged to do so at once so they will have sufficient time for doing this work. You will receive credit upon your certificate for Reading Circle work done besides much practical ed.-ucation. W. C. T. U.

Thanksgiving day wus celebrated In a very quiet manner in 'this neighborhood. There were soin.' very good dinners served, at which there was the usual good time. John Coker, Lizzie Coker, Mr. Powell and Mr. Rouse spent Thanks giving with the family of W. S. Cok er. Mr. and Mrs .1 C. Ilawkin ale Thanksgiving dinner at the horn." of I C.

Marsh and son, l-ee, have been bailing hay for Mr. lirowlee. A Maine prohibition enthusiast si nt l.'io bottles of pure spring wnt er to the hotel where the National Cxieutlve was entertained, to quench their thiitd anil draw them from the temptations of the 2 1 3.1 open saloons In the city of Milwaukee. However, nowhere on our trip did we find clearer, cooler or more refreshing water than in Milwaukee, and spark ling, bubbling drinking fount aiua were found In the auditorium and on many street corners and in the city parka. The hospitality of the people of Milwaukee will long be remembered. Everything was done to make the time hi that city both pleasant and profitable. Neve were delegates treated more courteously by city offi cials, street car employee and all cltlzenB In general. Kach delegate said that her hostess was the very best and kindest of all. The next convention, 1912, will be held In Portland, Oregon, the rose city. One evening during the convention from 6:30 to 7:30 a atereoptlcan lec ture was given, Illustrating Portland and the treat northwest. Thla vivid ly pictured to the delegates the beau tie of the country and the indus tries of our great western coast cit ies, showing to them the grandeur of scenes they may witness as they Journey to Portland. The corridors of the great auditor lum were made very interesting and Instructive by a number of exhibits. There was the anti-tuberculosis ex hibit which had taken the world's prize at Washington, brought by Dr. Carolyn Glesel. Another from the committee on Public Health and Han Itation, and last but not least was the one presented by the Child Labor committee, consisting of photographs of small children tit work In mines and various kinds of factories, to gether with information concerning their ages, hours of labor and the pittance they received In exchange for I heir very life blood. This exhib it was sufficient to horrify any lover of children, and to make even the most skeptical realize that the days of slavery are not yet over. One of the strong impressions re ceived by a visitor was the remark yet i ii hi,. .... , tt At - i -- - ...... i . i i i.iiit ii inmnm ! such a huge body or workers. Dif ( renew of opinion were Mtaetfenea in- vilable. but while the iHciiKi.ii were conducted with perfect freedom there was no evidence of bitterness , or Idle controversy. Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stephens, who . was re-elected tor the fourteenth time, Is an inspiration to all who see "or hear het. A woman of at least three score and ten, she stood as ! erect as any young girl, her voice firm and clear, penetrating to the far ; corners of the large assembly hall. Her mind is keen and analytical. ' quick to grasp the numerous details of business to be I ran suet ed . Coin ing as sho did from the leadership of the great campaign in Mevne, she presided day after day through the strenuous week with no apparent fa tigue. She is indeed a lower of strength to the White Ribbon forces. Saturday afternoon a demonstra was given by over four hundred children of the L. T. L. of the city, under Hie leadership of Miss Mary Money, bach child bore a fin and carried a prohibition slogan, among which were: Milwaukee's Treasures Are Its Hoys and Hirls," "Cold Wat er for Cs," "The Saloon Is a Mur der Mill," "We Battle Against the Mottle," "The Nation Dry in 1H20. Are You Going to Help?" Recita tions were given by several small boys, and temperance songs were by the entire delegation; and also greeted the convention with an enthusiastic repetition of a few of their L T. L. yells. One of the nicsl pleasing features of the convention was the delightful music rurnished both by Mrs Craham of New Yiork, our ow-u musical direct or and also by some. of Milwaukee's leading musical talent. Solos, quar , tets and choruses were listened to with great appreciation by the vast audiem MISS l I!K. YtM'Xti. IKS J. J. VANCK, Delegates. Dili!
