IMVUliVJS TAJUNU U. i. JLAH1J (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. (Spe cial Telegarm.) "Speed up" Is the battle err of the administration and for a little time at least renewed activities may be expected, not only In the congress Itself, but In the sev eral committees having Jurisdiction over Innumerable bills that have been introduced as corrective agents for existing or Imagined ills in the body politic. The quiet but generally efficient Ju diciary committee of the senate had a hunch" yesterday that "speed up" ap plied to itself and after a conference decided that a subcommittee consisting of Senators O'Qorman. Reed, Ashhurst. Brandegee and Cummins, should sit and hesr Senator Norris on nis so-cauea right-of-way bill to limit the right- of.way 0f the Union Pacific railroad to 100 feet Instead of 200 feet as under ex Istlng law. Casasataa DUpoaed Al. Senator Norrla hsld th floor for nearly three hours barring the time In which he replied to question from members of the committee. The senior senator from Nebraska was asked how congress could tske away rights originally granted and by which grant the Union Paclllc has been constructed. Senator Cummins suggested that It might be . accomplished through a "bill in abandonment" , on the ground mat the right-of-way of the Union Paclflo was unused. . but the senior senator from Iowa, who was obviously aiding Senator Norris. did not press his point Deeds f Coaveyaaoa. Th brief shows that conformably to th act of June 34. 1912, definitely and permanently fixing the rights of ths rail road with reference to its right-of-way. th company, to cur any doubtful equities, issued deeds of conveyance to the following municipalities la Nebraska: Valley. Central City. North Platte, Sil ver Creek. Sidney. Cgallala and Gibbon. In addition to these Quit claim deeds, conveyancea of a similar character had been Issued In 171 other oases In Ne braska. Senator Norrla spoke In the highest terms of the Union Paclflo railway and classified It as on of the great raUway systems of the world. His only desire was to cut down the extent of the right- of-way, in order that abutting property holders mlsht hr an opportunity to acquire additional territory. General Counael N. H. Loomis or ins Union Pacific was present at tb-s hear ing. ' Over 30 Injured by Powder Explosion BLUEFIELD. W. Va.. Jan. JT.

KING SPEAKS AT ROTARY CLUB President of Oberlin College Ex plains Method of Getting Most and Best Out of Life. ADVOCATE OF STBENUOUSNESS Stern, rigid, unyielding dlsciplln ' lng of impulses and desires as the best means of getting the most, out of life was advocated by Dr. Renry Churchill King, president of Oberlla college, in an address at tha Rotary club dinner in the Henshaw cafe last evening. He was Introduced by Harley O. Moorhead. formerly a stu dent at Oberlin. During the dinner there waa much gaiety and song, and Dr. King prefaced his serious address by sev eral lively stories. One of these was of a clerical gentleman ot absent minded characteristics, "Who paused, puzzled, at a Boston railway ticket office. Finally he remembered the place to which he wanted to go. Give me a ticket for Whiskey Straight" he said. The ticket seller told him there waa no such place, and then the absent-minded on remembered the right name. It waa Jamaica Plain. Dr. King preached that strenuous life which a certain ex-president preached. But Dr. King advocated mental trenu ousness, self-control, "unwasted daya," rather than ths muscular effort It was a succession of terse aphorisms. Here are aome of them: "The worth-while things are character, influence and happiness." "The dreamer and see-r of vision Is not likely to count like the man who ee and does put his dresms and visions Into action." "He who can't make the effort Is the cipher. He who does is the hero." f'Tou can't roaster others till you have mastered yourself. Tou won't follow a man unless you feel that he has a certain reserve power within him." "The chief mark of the Insane Is the lack of self-control.' "Resolving doesn't prove your will power. Doing does." ' Ths doctor asserted that one of tha principal Joys of life ta the overcoming of obstacles, . "Did It ever occur to you that our fa-, vorite games are artificial devices by which we set up obstacles for the mere pleasure of knocking them downT" the doctor added. "A great Arctlo explorer said that hs expeiienoed the supreme hagplness when he was pressing forward steadily to the pole, his goal, and he al most forgot ths terrible hardships. "Herein Is ths Joy of wo.-k that accom plishes. Here Is a terse definition of work: 'Work I activity in which a man can express himself at his best' But work, to be best, mut be free from the worker' self-consciousness. It must b work done for the work's sake, for the service which it renders." Mil ilsii kSSarWIhtiliMsiflWi ILL 511 ii
