All Syria east of Leb anon mountains from Aleppo in the north to Soueida in the south sun is in a state ot open revolt.

RELIEF BILL IS AG1 HELD UP M'Nary Measure Said Hang ing in Balance; Predict Passage by One Vote AMENDMENT PRESENTED Southern Democrats Threaten to Bolt When Oregon Senator Proposes Amendment - to Measure WASHINGTON, June 22. (By Associated Press). On the verge of vote on the McNary farm bill the senate adjourned ' late today with the measure swaying in the balance, each side admitting that one or two votes might decide the issue.- - Managers of the proposal be lieved they had made Inroads into the ranks of the opposition during the day by loading it down with amendments in effort to appease opponents. They said the bill would be passed by a one vote margin while the opposition spokesmen predicted 'it would be defeated by two votes. -- For a time it appeared that the measure would be forced to a final vote today-but-those- in- charge of it abandoned the attempt when southern democrats threatened to bolt the bill if an amendment of fered by Senator McNary, repub lican, Oregon, sponsor ot the pro posal, was adopted. It provided that not more than S75.000.000 out of the revolving fnnds would be used in marketing cotton. - The southerners claimed that the amendment would spoil the effectiveness of the bill so far as cotton was concerned, and the de bate got so heated that the Ore gon senator withdrew it with the explanation that he probably would reof fer it tomorrow in mod ified form. Before the senate called it a day, however, it had reduced the appropriation for the revolving fund from $250,000,000 to S150.- 000.000, eliminated cattle entirely from the' measure and made the equalization fee operative against corn immediately instead of in three years. Today's debate became flecked with bitterness, when Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, de nounced the bill as an "uneco nomic, unpatriotic species of priv ilege," and democratic supporters of it as deserters of democratic doctrines. "A democrat who subscribes to the doctrine of this bill," he said, ."will soon find himself on the pro bation : bench of the republican party, encushioned with fleece and bouncing on the springs of steel trusts, hat in hand, waiting his time for admission. "If I were a republican I would not vote for it because it goes into the field of personal privilege to the point where the republican partya never dared to go before Editorial A ROTARY ASSAY OFFICE '(Denver When the values in a large shipment of ore are to be deter mined in advance the whole tonnage is not assayed. or smelted, because that process would be ; costly, if jnot impossible, at the mine. Instead, "grab" samples are taken j and ground down and well mixed, after which a few pinches arp given to- the assayer for, him to determine in his laboratory the value in the ore shipped. No mistake- is made the average ot the whole is reached in this manner. : -' j-.' ' ' ' . 1 This week Denver has been a assay office for the United States. The, report of the assayer in charge has been returned to us and checked with the "control." No discrepancies. It shows well. - The Rotary International has site samples for the test assay to be madej The samples supplied are thoroughly representative of the whole body of ore. We can not recall any gathering better representative of the 115,000,000. No "flash" ore, no "country rock" worked! In as ore. The 'grab" samples for assaying purposes were picked from each one of the forty-eight main veins and from two or thtee stringers which wfli lead one day into veins well defined. j - Departing from the metaphor ot the mine, the Rotarlans stand for the ballast .in this widespread republic! of purs. They are not all from the top and they are them in the auditorium and in and on the streets, we know with double assurance the reserve strength that is in the United States; and we can understand better: the reforms which have been taking' place economically and social-; ly. ' We know better than ever can understand easier what the about when they tell us that capital 'and labor are meeting each other on a middle plane: we can appreciate now as never before the many ,many millions of dollars that go into life insurance every year and why that precaution for thej future has become such a dominating factor in the financial industrial fields of the nation. In truth, without being political in our writing, we can understand why it is that the plain person at the White House has . such a hold upon the country. . ? . The Rotarian is the salt of nor poor man, but "well fixed" the balance of power. He holds He is dependable. He has a great big stake -in the country. With others, we write often of this multimillionaire and that one, and of concentrated wealth on the "street," but, after all, the Rotarian that we have been sampling an is the real wealth of the United in comparison. It is'his pocketbook that maintains the United States at its present gait. It is the genus Rotarian that makes possible the 20,000,000 motor cars in use in this country and a production of 5,000,000 new cars for thej current twelve' months; and it is the same individual represented In the Rotarian' that places the telephone industry at the head of the corporation list; and it is this self-same person that has done so much to put the moving picture upon the earth's screen. He ia worthy of respect. Look him over and you wilt learn more of the United States and the individual states than any history book can teach; you will understand from the composite of the Texas Rotarian what the Lone Star state means in the Union; and) by doing the same with the delegation from a northwestern state; or a far southern state you will appreciate the variability of these United States and the alloy-strength behind the 5-Union of states, Take the athletic, finely-poised Antipodeans who are here for the convention, so distinctively a race by themselves, and yet hav ing more of the traits of the younger nation than of the old, and one can ' understand fully the wonderful reception accorded the American fleet in Australasian waters 'and why there is-such an attachment between the two countries. 1Aa. understanding exists already; , It does not require to be put in words and carried on the sleeve. j SALEM MAN IS ELECTED AT OREGON GAR MEETING V.
