But two weeks remain In which to pass the bill. Twelve hour sessions dally, cloture rule, the ex clusion of all other business nnd per sonal appeal by the president will be the measures invoked, it was an nounced today. It is pretty clearly known that the ship subsidy would pass if it should come to a roll call, by a vote of about 50 to 45, the 50 votes ln favor of It being composed ot 48 republi cans, together with the two demo cratic senators from Louisiana, while the 46 votes in opposition are made up of 35 democraaa plus 11 Insurgent republicans. It is these Insurgent republicans who compose the heart of the deter mination to filibuster. Under the rules of the senate there arc scores of legis lative devices they can use to kill time and at this moment there is no apparent evidence that the strength of their determination to fight off the ship subsidy bill hns abated In any degree. The advocates of the bill, on the other hand, have shown a marked disposition to compromise by adopt ing chatvges designed to make the bill more acceptable. They will not, how ever, adopt the fundamental change, which would prob:iblv insure the pass- ace of the bill, namelv, a provision to the effect that the subsldv shall be from year to year and shall be voted by congress each year.

A new grand Jury was drawn to day to serve during this term of circuit court and until discharged hy Judge Hamilton. Those chosen for this work were: Jos. W. Marvin, foreman; R. R. Wells. James S. Horner. Victor Her. II. P. Printer F. M. Jones, and Kmil Anderson Mr. Jones was elected clerk anil the court appointed S. J. Jones to serve as bailiff. The new grand Jury spent practi cally the entire morning maklnjr s complete and thorough exantinat! m of the Jail and court hoys". The Jury Investigated all off'ces and de partments and gave particular atten tion o the fHcillttes for protictlrjg the valuable rerordB of the countv. From the comments made by some of the members It Is expected that a rather strong recommendation for a new court house will be made. There Is some dlvlrlor. of opinion as to whether it is better to nin e a new structure or remodel the old one, but It Is very evident from the report of the lat grand Jurv and the sentiment apparently existing with the new one. "list a demand will be made that action be taken, either one way or the other, In the very near future. After completing Its Investlvntlon which Included a very thorough ex amination of the court house. Jail, yard and surroundlnes, the grand Jury was excused subject to call. I'nlesn work is started at once In compliance with the report of the former grand Jury, a rather strong report bearing on the subject of a new court house is expected at the next session.

With presi dents, prime ministers, chief justices and heads Of national legislative bodies throughout the world contri buting brief statements of their ideas of the responsibilities of the individ ual citizen for the kind of govern ment he gels, nintey thousand mem bers of the Rotary International lie gan world wide campaign today for tttoruugh understanding ot the eighleeuth anniversary of the found ing of the first Kotnry club. President Harding, Speaker Gil- lett of the House of Representa tives und Attorney General Duugh erty are the authurs ot the texts of the citizenship messages Rolarlans ln the United Stntes are carrying to the people of their communities. President Harding tells in his state ment of the responsibilities ot the in dividual citizen for the execution of the; laws and declares no- citizen ran consider himself a good citizen who Qoes not do all ln his power to make careful selection from among the candidates for office and their vote for the person he has deliberately selected which, the President re marks parenthetically several mil lions of the citizens of the United States regularly full to do by full ing to vote at all. Speaker (illlett also pleads for careful selection of the candidates for legislative office and stales that the quack and the demagogue be long in the sume territory, in mat they arou?e sympathy by telling mo victim of his real troubles and then offer their own remedy us the only panacea for the trouble. Attorney General Daugherlv de clares that constitutional government Is not possible unless the Individual citizen first acquaints himself with and obeys the law himself. Tan three basic statements of the principles of citizenship being used in the United Stales are duplicated in similar messages from the heads of the main branches of government In mos. of the twenty-odd countries In which Rotary clubs have been es tablished. The educational work the Rolarlans are doing has nothing to do with partisan politics nor are the statements from the three distin guished government ofllclals parti san. They are devoted entirely to the broad principle of the respon- siblltles of citizenship. The text messages are being used in addresses to schools. Industrial nlnnts. civic organizations, etc., wherever the ltoturlans think they can find a good audience. They are being liroadcasled from thousands of radio stations and will form the subiect of talks at every notary meeting during the week. The lirst Rotary club was organ lied in Chicago. February 23, l(i6 Tnere are now 1 325 Rotary clubs with a membership of approximately itii.ooii In twenty-seven countries -ri.e ,-ln!, are orvanized for the pur pose of practicing and spreading the principles of service through the ad ..iii,.n of codes of elhlcul practices in all lines of business and profes sions, through work among boys lo n enare them for citizenship anu through utilizing the service Idea in aiding and abetting an won.., causes for the general good of the communities In which the clubs are established. Harding Appeals to Voters. WASHINGTON, Feb. IS The citi zen who regards himself as a model of civic proprieties because bis present conduct Is Impeccable, but ho does not co-operate with the civil authorities or exert his Influence In behalf of the best possible administra tion of the laws, greatly overrates his usefulness as a citizen, President lianlmg ststed today in summing up his idea of the responsibility of the In dividual citizen for the proper ad ministration of the laws of his coun try and his city The message of the president was address, d to the citi zens of th" Uniied States through Ho .,.. international In connection with lihe eighteenth anniversary f the or iranliatlon of the first Rotary club at i Chicago, February 2.1, 1&. I The full t' Xt of President Harding's message follows: To the Members. Rotary Interna Itlonsl: I -The individual citizen a respnnsl hllltf for executive government he Iglns with the selection of the nxecu Itlve. Thin Implies the duty of every 'voter to vote; a dutv that many mil lions of them regularly fall to per form. Ilefore that. It Implies the duty to vote Intelligently, to make the vote represent a deliberate decision based on the claims ot the opposing parties and randidutea. 'Finally, the executive being duly selected, it Implies the obligation to give him the support ot all good citi zens In every effort of administration of the law. That citizen who regards himself as a model of the civic pro prieties, because his present conduct is Impeccable, but who does not co operate with the civil authorities or exert his Influence ln behalf of the best possible administration ot the law, greatly overrates bis own useful ness as a citizen. The responsible officers ot government, whether It be municipal, state or national, need and are entitled to the full and effective Btipport-of all citizens ln the enforce ment of laws. "If the effort of Rotary should be effective In impressing this concep tion ot the citizen's duty it will have performed a most usuful service. Exciting Adventure Marked Life When Family Made.
