and Inspiring scene In the house ot rep
resentatives aa was presented yeatcrtlay
when Speaker Champ Ctark arose to
oppose the so-called Sims' bill repealing
the free tolls sect'on of the Panama
tanal act passed In August, 191S.
It was memorabie not only beoause of
the great audience, the large number of
senators present on the floor, the dip
lomatic gallery filled to the utmost
limit, and all the galleries ot the his
toric chamber crowded to suffocation
by hundreds and hundreds of people.
many of whom were packed In the door-,
trays, standing on chairs and every con j
celvabte thing that would lift them
above the heads of those In front, but J
becauso of the portentlous events that
were being enacted, the dramatic climax I
ot It all being the speaker's presentment
of his reasAna for maintaining that fret
lo'.ls stood for Americanism, and his
party's solemn pledge to the people.

Kakota appeared on the floor early in
the day, having hurried away from his
recent successful campaign for United
states senator to participate In what
many believe one of the most historic
occasions in the history ot legislation
In a generat way.
Scores ot the wives and families of
the members of both the house and
senate holding tha;r precious cards of
admission to the private galleries, and
coming to the house a full two hours
before the session opened, found It a
physical Impossibility to get seats or
v.en secure standing room, as every
Inch of space was occupied oven at
that rly hour. Among these bltterely
disappointed ones were the wives ot
Congresman Sloan of Nebraska and
Pro my of Iowa, and atso the spouses
of Senators Ashurst, Polndexter and a
number of others.
