A LONG LEGISLATIVE DAY. U. S. Senate Has Known No Sunday Since April. The United States senate is still in session as of the legislative day of April the 20th. For three months that great body has gone through with this farcical fiction and because of it has no opening prayer as is its usual dally custom. The opening prayer of April the 20t... has to still serve and if ofte is necessary every day this ona j has been spread out as never has been one before. It Is not a condition to bo referred to flihpantly?one's revorenco | must alwnvs be kept in mind?but it I does look like an absurdity. One Of the best preachers this community ever had was always opposed to the custom of opening political bodies with prayer. His reasons were considerably strengthened when delegates to the Baltimore Democratic convention in 1912 started the unheard of practice of applauding the prayers of the minister invited to make the invocation. The condition is suggested by a letter | from Congressman Fred Dominick to j the Columbia Itecord explaining the j absence of an opening prayer. The senate is a rather hopeless case. J One recalls the explanation of the j father to his little son: "The chaplain lookil out over the senate and then prays for the country." Congressman Dominiek's letter follows: Newberry, S. C., July 12; 1922. Editor of Columbia Record?Sir: "One of the things hound to make skeptics doubt the power of prayer is that the sessions of the senate are al- ' ways opened with it. "The daily sessions of the senate are j not always opened with prayer. The , senate is now transacting its business [ of the legislative day of Thursday, ! April 20th, and by reference to the ; Congressional Heeord, It will be noted that there has been no opening prayerj BOBBED HAIR This Is Miss Hutchison, a lendt faithful to cropped locks despite the jtho same. ?? DIED WIJH HIS? BOOTS ON Russian Jesse James Finally Paid the Penalty. Alexander Antonoff, whom his followers considered in the light of a reincarnated Rohin Hood, but whom the Soviet government classed as a Jesse James, fought to the last when surrounded and killed by the state police at his hiding place in a tiny village near Tamboff, Russia, late in Jun *. Antonoff once was in the old Russian army. When the Holshcviki took power he opposed them and. gathering about him thousands of followers?fast horsemen from the Steppes?he hUrrasscd the Red army ?in the south of Russia for several years. ' Last September Antonoflf's iast band was broken up by the Reds. fV>r months the state police sought out his hiding: place. Finally some of his former confederates were promised amnesty and betrayed him. Early one June evening; eight men led by Policeman Pokulukin came to the hut of a peasant woman, Marie Katosanova, whose name will go down in the fantastic legends surrounding the life of Antonoff. Tn this hut in the thick woods near the river, Vdrona, Antonoff was hiding. The police called to her and she came out of the [ house denying Antonoff was there. Xo sooner had the woman turned away than two men started firing upon the police from the windows of the hut. Peasants, attracted by the shooting, ?r> Oi.i'irlll!Krn fflinrch jinrl rnnir the bells and hundreds of peasants Aimed themselves with sticks and stones and (formed a cordon about the hut. For several hours the battle continued until, with night at hand, the police ran very short of ammunition. Two (of them crept up to the house and set the roof on fire. As smoke began to pour out of the windows, two men broke from the house and started running toward the woods. With each step they turned to fire their revolvers at the police. They had almost reached the xvoods when they were shot down. Their bodies were immediately identified, one being the famous chieftain, and the other His brother, Dimitri Antonoff. To convince the population that the bandits never had been workingmen, tho Soviet authorities had nutopsies performed and doctors issued statements saying that neither of the brothers ever occupied himself with j hard work, "for their hands were soft i like those of noblemen and there was fat all over their bodies, showinjj that they had fed themselves very well at the time when the famine in the villages carried away many souls."' 1 A Document on "Liberty."?"A model J of kindly and devastating criticism" is 'what the New York World calls an edi| torlal in the Emporia Gazette. It is I perhaps the last, word of Mr. William Allen White to his friend. Governor | Allen, over the recent controversy that brought Mr. White under orders from the Industrial Court of Kansas. The World would1 give it "a place among historic public documents," and as such, without concerning ourselves further with the questions that brought it forth, we give it to our readers: "To An Anxious Friend: "You tell me that law is above freedom of utterance. And I reply that you have no wise laws nor free enforcement of wise laws unless there is free expression of the wisdom of the people?and, alas, their folly with it. But if there is freedom, folly will die of its own poison, and the wisdom will survive. That is the history of the race. It is the proof of man's kinship with God.
