I VOL. FALLS eiTY NEWS W ASHINGTON GOSSIP THE DACE QUESTION. The House of Representatives dragge«! the race question into a recent discussion. and after the Southern mendier« had touched on everything from the marriage of Jack Johnaon to a white woman to the alleged habit of Northern members in opposing anti-Negro legislation because of colored voters in Northern districts, S|»eakcr Clark arose and in his basso-profundo voice s oke for Southern Democrats, und declared that the Norther Republicans who had their political fences to look after “did not have the world by the tail as yet.’’ He added that the race question was as old as the Hood, but declared that it was being worked out by the individ ual communities and the state. He thought that it was as useless to discuss the subject as the my stery regarding who hit Hilly Patterson; or who wus the man in rj the iron mask. Of course every- Iwdy does not agree with the Sj>cuRer. und a large part of the membership of Congress feel that there is too much discrimination against the Negroes. Mr. Clark’s ineligant expressions are pretty good samples of very old-fashion ed statesmanship. MRS. MARY FELS. Ik 1* J KALI-S CITY OREGON. SATURDAY. MAY 6, 19IC XII Joseph Fels was known through out the world because of his work in the single tax movement. Mr. Fels was a friend of Henry George, and when the latter died, his son, Henry George, junior, who is a Member of Congress, pledged his life to the responsibility of carry ing on the great reform enuncia ted by his father. Joseph Fels had arranged a great work which he proposed to carry on, but man proposes and God disposes, and he was cdlled to his higher reward, leaving his wife. Mary Fels, who had worked with him for years to continue the task. Today she is looked upon as one of the most in- influential women of America. When she came to Washington re cently the single tax advocates arranged a reception and banquet, which was a magnificent affair, attended by one hundred and fifty representative men and women, who sought to do honor to Mrs. Fels. The single tax gathering turned out to be a peace meeting, and among the s|>eakers to pay tribute to the guest of honor was Colonel William Jennings Bryan. Mrs. Feb’ went to Europeon the Oscar II and she proclaims the fact proudly. She was elected by the members of the Ford party as one of the delegates to the Neu tral Conference for Continuous Mediation, which is now in session in Stockholm, Sweden. She ex pects to return to the commission and to help the organization, which is composed of representatives of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hol land, Switzerland and the United States, in the work they are doing for constructive peace and inter national disarmament. The biography of Joseph Fels about to be published, will necess arily be in part the story of his wife, Mary Fels. It will be a wonderful work, since it is to re cord the useful work done by a man and a woman, pledged in the sacred bonds of love, and inspired by a single purpose to sacrifice personal comforts and pleasures, and to use their groat fortune in behalf of the causes of humanity. There are not many such people enlisted in so unselfish a labor and the world will honor the memory of Joseph Fels while it continues to assist his widow in carrying on the duties and added responsibili ties which came to her when her husband was called from life's : labors to eternal rest.
