A Balking Horse Mr. Editor: I once owned a horse, the prettiest, tinest look ing one have ever' oiwned. Its size, ag~loks and every feature about it filled the eve of all who loved horses. But its bad habit was balking. This habit often 4 hindered me from going or ac - complishing what I desired. When h'tched beside another that wod pull he jj4 elvd forward. So despite Sbeauty, size, age, etc., I -sould not think ofhim aslIreallvy wanted to think. Neither would * he sell or trade for what he would have brought had he not had the habit of balking. This horse often gave serious trouble and caused gretdissatisfaction. Sometimes I think this is truf of men some who have had Christian parents, were given ant education and are fine looking, stout, robust men, who are capa ble of doing great good in busi ness-, social and religious lif Their bad habit is balking, ant very often hinder progress in al avocations of life. They wil balk, it doesn't matter wher, you put them; and when other folks are~ it~yi7sidihg bot changes t. rvolutions tha mean pr~sand social uplift, those old galkers will pull back and hinder those who are pulline forward. - There was only one place that horses pulled true, anti this was ~ iling a plow in th ground,~~ these balking folloj will - t~ings in the ground Look o1* for the prohibitiou movemen~t.

Washington. - Whether President Wilson will call an extra session -of congress in case of defeat of the ship bill at this session probaly will be de cided at conferences this week be tween the president and Democratic leaders in congress.. At the White House it was said present- sentiment among officials was against an extra session, but that no definit, conclusion had been reached. All appropriation bills will be freed of legislative riders which might cause prolonged discussion in the senate Ei and leaders think they can be pasaed in a wiek oartena ys.if the shipping bIllis4p d A da f aestr tlh 'M tors agi4ed it Would be impossible to recommend thi ship ptfrchase bill with instrue tions for its modification and deter mined their only course to get an amended bill before the senate was to yield to Senator Clarke's motion, which threw the Democratic ranks T Into confusion. They will th.pestSenator Gore's motio-toaischarge the commerce N -eimnittee from consideration of a substitute bill containing amendments satisfactory to progressive Republi can senators. Suggestions that Republican Sena tois eventually might yield their op- d position in order to take up appro priation bills and let the measure come to a vote are denied by minority leaders. They nsit the bill cannot get a vote. Democratic Senators championing M the bfll admit the situation is desper- C ate. They realize their insistence on w keeping the bill before the Senate will mean failure of the great appropria- t tion bfils. This would make an extra tt session inevitable. ai FLIES STARS AND STRIPES. r' 11 0 Venaced by Submarines British Ship Sails Under American Flag.

Washington.-Co-operation between business and the Government in fram t Ing laws for the benefit of all the peo y ple was urged by President Wilson in an address before several hundred rep resentative business men here attend ''ig the annual convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United e States.
