Nolan appeared distinctly surprised
at two things—tint that the writer of

A look of understanding flitted

with a significant smile, he said:
"I se« you are still on the job. Ed

Washington, Feb. 17.—Charging Senator Owen, of Oklaho
ma, with being interested in the affairs of the Standard Oil
Company, and saying that he would like to sec John D. Rockefel
ler “wrapped in the flames of hell,*' Senator Jeff Davis, of Ar
kansas, today made a speech in the senate which was fittingly
characterized by him as “red hot and right off the bat.”
The speech was made apropos of the efforts of Mr. Owen
to have passed a general bill giving a right of way through the
public lands of Arkansas for a gas pipe line. Davis asserted
that the bill in in the interest of the Prairie Creek Company,
which he said was a branch of the Standard Oil Company. Be
lieving this to be the truth, he said he could not sit idly by and
allow to be passed a bill which is in direct contrast to the anti
trust law in his state. He declared the bill one no senator could
afford to support and challenged and Democratic senator to vote
for it. He challenged Owen to deny that the Standard Oil Co.
was one of the most iniquitous and damnable trusts that ever
existed. Davis then went on to say that by law this company
could not come into Arkansas.
“Then,” he asked, “will congress give them this right?”

London, February 19.—With the
preliminaries over, parliament will
settle down to business next Mon
day. The King will open the new
session with al! the ceremony for
which the occasion calls and will be
accompanied by Queen Alexandria
in his state procession to Parlia
ment. During his speech her Ma
jesty will sit at his right. A great
deal has been said in forecast of the
action of Mr. Asquith and his party
but little is known as to the purpose
of the Lords regarding the laws to
be made. They are not inclined to
do a great deal of talking until some
definite action Is taken concerning
their interests, then they freely open
the flood-gates of their oratory.
It may be asumed. however, that
the Lords will pass whatever budget
is sent up to them without further
question. There Is no longer any
doubt that the reform of the House
of Lords must be undertaken imme
diately, but there is no hope of its
accomplishment in the near future,
except by a oompromise with the
unionists or by the upper house it
self taking the initiative in this re
spect. It is hardly probable that
the collation Government will under
take to deprive the Second Chamber
of the veto power by ultra- constitu
tional means in the face of the iade-
cisive verdict of the people of Great
Britain at the present election.
.
Financial Conditions
Financial conditions, which have
been rather unsteady because of the
uncertainty of the political situation,
are expected to undergo a change for
the better very soon.
Everything
now depends upon the policy of the
cabinet. The whole situation is real
ly summed up in the sentence: Will
Mr. Lloyd-George and Mr. Winston
Churchill be the dominating influ
ence in the new Cabinet as they were
in the old one, or will Mr. Asquith.
Sir Edward Grey and Lord Morley
take the lead ? The former course
spells a renewal of ail the disturb
ances which have affected English
securities for the past four years.
The latter means reasonable govern
ment. a strong navy, and less social
ism.nl’ntil the answer to these ques
tions is determined, markets must
be more or less unsettled, though,
conceivably there will be all the
while an undercurrent of strength
by reason of the assurance resulting
- -
• '
from the knowledge that there will
at least be a strong opposition ta
face any extreme government meanly.

Indian Question
It Is doubtful if any Institntion
in iu infancy has ever caused Britain
more anxiety than Indian terror
ism. This movement of unrest is
hardly two years old, yet 1U dread
, shadow u inspiring awe in the
. hearts of the manliest English and
. native officials concerned with the
government of India. The situa
tion has become so serious that It nA
, longer can be ignored by the home
government. As shown by tbe re
cent anarchistic outrages in Hindo
stán. disaffection Is not only on th«
increase but actually is assuming an
alarming phase. Daring the last
year or two Great Britain has made
a tremendous effort to quell eh«
spirit of revolt among educated East
Indians, both by conciliation and co-
erslon, but this dual policy has fail
ed to solve England's problem in
India, which, indeed, day by day, is
becoming harder of solution.
As yet, so far as is known, terror
ism Is strictly confined to half-edu
cated Hindu youths. No Mohamme
dan has brought to book as con
cerned with the movement. Tha
Hindu masses and the more intelli
gent, better educated Hindu classes
have not been convicted in taking
part in hatching nihilistic plots.
Terrorism is believed to be propi
agated in India by the surreptitious
circulation of scurrillous literature
and secret rabid preaching.
The
English government is represented
as sucktng the life blood of Hindu
stan and causing plague and famine.
The Mother (Hindus refer to their
country in this way) is represented,
as lying prostrate in the dust, being
shamefully trampled underfoot by
the unscrupulous foreigner. All pa
triots are urged to make it their sa
cred duty to avenge this desecration
of “the Mother.” Indeed, the viru
lence of the Hindu pamphleteer is
deadly in its venom. In the face of
the rigid postal vigilance these pois
onous leaflets are smuggled into the
country by the ton from the United
Switzerland, and even England, and
circulated in secret from hand to
hand.
Etaring spirits go to the
length of producing such literature
in India itself, despite the precau
tion taken by the police to make
such practices Impossible.
