IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

GRILLS THE
WASHINGTON, March 5.—The ter
mination of the session of congress
without taking action on important
measures, lead President Wilson to is- j
sue the following remarkable state-1
ment:
“The termination of the last session
of the Sixty-fourth congress by con
stitutional limitation discloses a situ
ation unparalleled in the history of the
country, perhaps unparalleled in the
history of any modern government. In
the immediate presence of a crisis
fraught with more subtle and far
reaching possibilities of national dan
ger than any other the government
has known within the whole history of
its international relations, the con
gress has been unable to act either to
safeguard the country or to vindicate
the elementary rights of its citizens.
More than 500 of the 531 members of
the two houses were ready and anxious .
to act; the house of representatives,
had acted by an overwhelming major
ity, but the senate was unable to act :
because a little group of eleven sen- :
ators had determined that it should j
not.
1‘owcr of a Member.
“The senate has no rules by which
debate can be limited or brought to
an end, no rules by which dilatory tac
tics of any kind can be prevented. A
single member can stand in the way
of action if he have but the physical
endurance. The result in this case is I
a complete paralysis alike of the legis
lative and of the executive branches of
the government.
J “This inability of the senate to act
I has rendered some of the most neces
sary legislation of the session impos
sible, at a time when the need for it!
was most pressing and most evident, j
The bill which would have permitted
such combinations of capital and of
organization in the export and import
trade of the country as the circum
stances of international competition
have made imperative—a bill which
the business judgment of the whole
country approved and demanded—has
failed.
"The opposition of one or two sen
ators has made it impossible to in
crease the membership of the inter
state commerce commission, or to give
it the altered organization necessary
for its effiWency. The conservation
bill, which should have released for
immediate use mineral resources
which are still locked up in the public
lands, now that their release is more
• imperatively necessary than ever, and
the bill which would have made the
unified water power of the country im
mediately available for industry, have
both failed, though they have been
under consideration throughout the
sessions of two congresses and have
been twice passed by the house of rep
resentatives.
Legislation Fails.
“The appropriations for the army
have failed along with the appropria
tions for the military academy at West
Point and the general deficiency bill.
It has proved impossible to extend the
powers of the shipping board to meet
the special needs of the new situation
into which our commerce has been
forced or to increase the gold reserve
or our national banking system to
meet the unusual circumstances of the
existing financial situation.
“It would not cure the difficulty to
call the Sixty-fifth congress in extra
ordinary session. The paralysis of the
senate would remain. The purpose
and the spirit of action are not lacking
now. The congress is more definitely
united in thought and purpose at this
moment, I venture to say, than it has
been within the memory of any man
now in its membership. There is not
only the most united patriotic purpose,
but the objects members have in view
are perfectly clear and definite. But
the senate cannot act unless its leaders
can obtain unanimous consent. Its
majority is powerless. In the midst
of a crisis of extraordinary peril, when
only definite and decided action can
make the nation safe or shield it from
war itself by the aggression of others,
action is impossible.
Bad Impression Abroad.
"Although as a matter of fact the
nation and the representatives of the
nation stand back of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit, the impression made abroad
will, of course, be that it is not so,
and that other governments may act
as they please without fear that this
government can do anything at all. We
cannot explain. The legislative ex
planation is increditable.
“The senate of the United States is
the only legislative body in the world
that cannot act when its majority is
ready for action. A little group of
willful men, representing no opinion
but their own, have rendered the great
government of the United States help
less and contemptible.
“The remedy—there is but one rem
edy. The only remedy is that the
rules of the senate shall be so altered
that it can act. The country can be re
lied upon to draw the moral. I believe
that the senate can be called upon to
supply the means of action and save
the country from distaster.”
TWELVE FILIBUSTERS ARE
SCORNED BY SENATE, RIDDEN
ON VERBAL RAILS AT CLOSE
WASHINGTON, March 4.—Twelve
senators, led by Senator La Follette
and encouraged by Senator Stone,
democratic chairman of the foreign
relations committee, in a filibuster de
nounced by President Wilson's
spokesmen as the most reprehensible
in the history of any civilized nation,
defied the will of an overwhelming,
majority in congress up to the last
minute today and denied to the pres
ident a law authorizing him to arm
American merchant ships to meet the
German submarine menace.
Unyielding throughout 26 hours of i
continuous session to appeals that!
their defiance of the president would i
be humiliating to the country; un-j
compromising in a crisis described1
to them as the most serious to the !
nation since the civil war, La Follette j
and his small group of supporters re-,
fused a majority of their colleagues,
an opportunity to vote on the armed i
neutrality bill, and it died with the j
sixty-fourth congress at noon.
To fix responsibility before the
country, 76 senators, 30 republicans
and 46 democrats, signed a manifes
to, proclaiming to the world that they
favored passage of the measure.
This declaration, embodied in the
record of the senate, referred to the
fact that the house Thursday night
had passed a similar bill by a vote;
of 403 to 13, and also recited that
the senate rule permitting unlimited
debate gave a small minority oppor
tunity to throttle the will of the ma
jority.
Penrose Offer Late.
Thirteen senators declined to sign
the declaration, but Senator Penrose,
republican, of Pennsylvania, an
nounced that he would have voted for
the bill had opportunity been afford
ed him. The 12 men who went on
record with the 13 members of the
house against granting to President
Wilson the authority he asked from
congress in the crisos were: Repub
licans—Clapp, Minnesota; Cummins,
Iowa; Gronna, North Dakota; Ken
yon, Iowa; LaFollette, Wisconsin;
Norris, Nebraska; Works, California.
Democrats — Kirby, Arkansas;
Lane, Oregon; O’Gorman, New York;
Stone, Missouri; Vardaman, Missis
sippi.
Associated with them in opposition
to the armed neutrality bill were the
following representatives who voted
against the house bill Thursday
night:
Republicans—Benedict, California;
Cary, Wisconsin; Cooper, Wisconsin;
Davis, Minnesota; Helgesen, North
Dakota; Lindbergh, Minnesota; Nel
son, Wisconsin; Stafford, Wisconsin;
Wilson, Illinois.
Democrats—Shackleford, Missouri;
Decker, Missouri; Sherwood, Ohio.
Socialist—London, New York.
Men on Honor Roll.
The 76 senators who signed the
manifesto were:
Democrats — Ashurst, Bankhead,
Beckham, Broussard, Bryan, Cham
berlain, Chilton, (Fletcher, Hardwick,
Hitchcock, Hollis, Hughes, Husting,
James Johnson, South Dakota; Kern,
