Unfortunately, it appears that the statement was meant in a Pickwickian sense.

Hang Over Senate Session Possible. There are rumors floating . about this afternoon that the Senate may meet after adjournment in March to take action on the Trade Commission appointments. The calendar is so congested on the north wing of the Capitol that it will be all the Senate can do to finish up with the appropria tion bills and decently bury the Ship Purchase bill, or revivify as the case may be, by March 4th. There is a "hangover" row too over the question of the President's right to make re cess appointments after the Senate fails to confirm. This is an intra Democratic fuss however, Senators Reed of Missouri and O'Gorman of New York, being leaders of the anti administration forces in the so-called "patronage fuss." , Coming at Indian Creek.

Politics Like Prizefighting - What makes tlhese sUds on the political ice all the more serious are that politics is like prizefighting, those who play either game must win every contest or they are down and out. .President Wilson is really mighty good politician, better far than he is given credit for beiner. That is why it is hard to understand these errors after so many two bag gers and three baggers. ., ; Now if the President had played the role of a Fremont to rural credit legislation instead of being Casabi anca to the Ship Purchase bill ihe would in the event that rural credit legislation had been talked to death or buried in a committee or smothered in any other way he in splendid shape to go before the farmers of the coun try in 1916, and say; "I lost but I fought for you to the last." .

Pendleton Feb. 27. Umatilla is ne of 18 Oiegon Counties not bonded mid which show deficits according to the report on financial conditions of the Counties at the close of business for the quarter ending December 31. The figures are given in a report given out bv State Insurance Commissioner Harvey Wells. Deficits are shown by 23 of the M Counties and 11 Counties show a sur plus. The reason given for so many counties having deficits is that '.he end of the quarter marked the close of tho year and the tax levy had been exhausted. Tho lUtility Commission recently conducted its investigation at Cam den and there heard the testimony of the railroad officials and commuters. The commission is expected to hand down a decision today as their vale suspension order expires today. .The Court of Last Resort.
