7 ) By EDGAR C. SNYDER.
Washington, Nov. 23. (Special
ator Norris returned from his suc-
;ator Norris returned from hos suc
cessful hunting expedition after
t votes in Nebraska when he threw a
bombshell into the senate by a reso
lution seeking to amend the rules so
that any senator appointed chair
man of one of the more important
committees, including foreign, rela
tions, appropriations, judiciary and
others, should not hi a member of
Vsny of the other committees includ
iV in this list.
(' ufhis would mean the complete
"bVtT, throw of the rule of seniority
in senate committee assignments,
for some of the senators, long in ser
vice, are members of two ornore of
'. the committees.
But there is no hance of the Nor
ris amendment being put through.it
is said. In the first place, the dem
ocrats are in control now ar,d a1
large majority of the democrats
would oppose the proposed rule and
it is t safe guess that a majority of
the republicans would do the same.
Play for Clerkship.
Senator Norris, it is thought, is in
dulging in a play to secure a good
committee chairmanship, a commit
tee that will pay a clerk anywhere
from $2,000 to $2,500, for Frank Har
rison, Senator Norris' cmpaign man
ager, who would not think of com
ing; to Washington for a less salary.
Leading republican senators, while
regretting the action ofc the JNebras
ka senator, were of the opinion that
harmony would prevail in their
ranks when it comes to the reorgan
ization under republican control af
Mr. March 3 next. They said they
looked for no unusual trouble on
account of committee assignments
if there would be plenty of impor
tant assignments to care tor tne
members of the progressive wing of
the party when the time came.
Cheer End Of War.
"The war thus comes to an end,"
said President Wilson to the joint
assembly of congress at,l p. m.
Monday, November 11, and grave
senators united with the more com
monplace representatives in making
the hall of the house ring with boi
sterous sheers.
"God has in His good pleasure
given us peace again" said the pres
ident in his Thanksiving proclama
tion and on the same day the secre
tary of war published plans for the
immediate demobolization of 2,000,
000 troops in American camps.
A few weeks ago seator Kenyon
of Iowa, delivered a carefully pre
pared speech in favor of a national
budget and pointed out the waste
ful extravagance of 29 committees
in congress having the power to re
port appropriation bills; and only
last week both parties in the senate
began the preparation of plans for
retrenchment and reform to meet
the enormous burden put upon the
people through the appropriation of
$57,000,000,000 to meet the expense
of the war.
Senators' Memory Short.
But the memory of senators is
short. On Monday, November 18,
just one week after they had vocifer
ously applauded the president's an
nouncement "the war thus comes to
an end," the senate,-on motion of
Senator Kenyon. receded from the
Pomerene amendment and solemnly
adopted the conference report on

the bill to "stimulate agriculture"
with its war-time prohibition rider.
The war has come to an end and
"God has in His good pleasure given
us peace, and the president has be
fore him a bill to appropriate $20,
000,000 for the stimulation of agri
culture and declare prohibition
throughout the nation as a war
measure. The senate had this bill
before it for six months, its appro
priations were ridiculed as graft and
its prohibition declared to be beyond
the constitutional power of congress
in the exercise of its war power; and
yet the senate waited until the war
was over before it passed this bill
for war-time prohibition.
If unconscious humor is the only
real humor that touches the risibili
ties of the human race, the U. S.
senate has given us the best bit of
humor of the war or after the war
period, for the senate was uncon
scious of being funny. This war
time prohibition is to be ushered in
on the first of July 1919, and the sen
ate has before it a resolution to
make Tulv 4 a national holiday and
have an international peace celebra
tion in Washington next Fourth of
July, with Field Marshal Foch, Pre
mier Uemenceau ot f ranee, uener
al Haig and Lloyd George and pos
sibly King George as our national
guests to join with the American
people in celebration of the final set
tlement of this war through a treaty
of peace that will then have been
ratified. . ,
It may be that Senator Kenyop
and his cblleegues in the senate have
it in mind to show our guests from
Europe of how little force is a writ
ten constitution when it is applied
to the freedom of the senate in legislation.-
It may also be that the ap
propriation of $20,000,000 to enable
several thousand appointees of this
administration to sit by the fire this
winter! and go through the farce of
making a survey of food production
to feed the world, had more influ
ence in adopting Senator Kenyon's
motion than any other argument, be
cause it was entirely contradictory
of Kenyon's argument in, favor of
a national budget.

Architect Comes to
Aid City in Problems
of Housing Employes
Anthony U. Morell,! member of
the firm of Morell & Nichols, land
scape architects, Minneapolis, is
in Omaha at the invitation of City
Commissioner Towl to look over
Omaha's natural beauties and give
an expert opinion, on what can be
done here in various directions.
Mr. Morell, Mr. Towl, city com
missioners and members of the
City Planning commission spent the
day tburing the city from north to
south and east to west. They
viewed the Winspear triangle,
which is now being filled in to be
come a great docking and jobbing
and manufacturing district of the
city under city ownership. They
toured the boulevaards and parks.
One of the big problems which
Mn Towl is seeking to solve is
the housing problem for workers in
the big manufacturing plants. The
location and building of a "model
city," to have model homes, gar
dens, playgrounds for the children
and all the beautiful and inspiring
things that make life worth living.
Mr. Morell designed and built the
famous Morgan Park, workingmen's
suburb of the United States Steel
corporation at Duluth. Beautiful
homes rent for $4 per room per
month in this model suburb. Some
thing of this sort is planned for
Omaha.
Mr. Morell was entertained at
luncheon at the Chamber of Com
merce at noon.
Mrs. Susan Roark Escapes
i from City Dentention Home
Mrs. Susan Roark has escaped

but City Health Commissioner
Manning opposd her release and he
was supported by the military au
thorities. The woman had married
a soldier two months before his de
parture for France.
"Bobbie" Riley and Wilma Rice
have also escaped from the home.

PEARCE FAMILY
FINALLY UNITED '
FOLLOWING SUIT
Wife Heeds Offer of Husband
of Home and Now They
Are Planning Thanks
giving Dinner.
Harry T. and Clara May Pearce,
who figured in a sensational di
vorce suit this week in Judge
Troup's court, have dcetrJed to for
give and forget and to resume their
way together along life's pathway.
At thev conclusion of the case
Thursday afternoon when the judge
announced that he would not grant
the ,Vyfe the decree she sought, he
endeavored to obtain a reconcilia-
tion, but the wife was obdurate. The
husband offered her a home apart
from his relations and even went
upon his knees before the wife and
their 2-year-old son.
Mrs.Fearce stated that she never
really cared for another man, nor
would she ever love another as she
had loved Pearce, but she could not
bring her mind 'around to the point
of yielding to his importunities for
a reconciliation.
After thinking over the matter
cue might, with the boy temporarily
at the home of her mother-in-law
she asserted that she Jieeded an im
pulse which told her that her road
to happiness pointed in the direc
tion of her husband and child.
"We are just going to have the
nicest little Thanksgiving dinner on
next Thursday," Mrs. Pearce stated,
as tears mingled with her smiles.
She is grateful for the kindly of
fices extended by Judge Troup, who
expressed the sincere wish that this
little family may never again be
disrupted' by an estrangement
which might be overcome by a lit
tle effort on both sides.
