SENATE VOTE MAY DEFEAT PEACE PACT

Porter Resolution To End War Passes House, 303 to 81 , to Take Place of Knox Resolution. LOWER HOUSE RESTS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. June 14. Whether the senate .will accept the Porter peace resolution, passed late yesterday by the house as a substitute for the Kncx resolution, already adopted by the senate, was an uncertain question today. Failure to accept would send the whole question to conference, but as leaders in both branches of congress have declared their intention of holding out for their respective measures, there was no indication that a speedy agreement would be reached. Adoption of the Porter resolution, which would terminate the state cf war with Germany and Austria-Hungary, came after two days of hard

fighting, but the vote was decisive,! the Republican national committee re43 Democrats joining the Republicans j cently, is the first woman to hold such

for a total of . 205 votes' in favor of it, a : against 51 opposing. Only one Republican, Representative Kelley, cf Michigan, voted against the resolution. All attempts to amend the measure failed. Points of Difference The Knox resolution differs frOra the Porter resolution in that it would repeal the declaration of war. Opponents have claimed that congress ought not to appfal the wax declaration, as

it might be regarded as a repudiation of the war itself. Debate on the Por-jand ter resolution centered chiefly about

Sluggish voting characterized the special election Tuesday to decide whether a city manager form of gov ernment should be adopted in this city. At noon slightly over 2,000 votes had been cast. Of this number about one-third were women. The total voting strength of the city is estimated at 12,000. Leaders of both, city manager and anti-city manager forces had expected the vote to be slightly heavier and efforts were being made to get citizens out during the afternoon. General lack of Interest was manifested in various parts of the city. Voting is Quiet. The election was featured generally by quietness at the polls, no difficulties being reported. Heaviest viting was recorded in the 29th precinct. Sixth ward, where at noon today 133 votes had been re corded. The 32nd precinct. Seventh ward, had 119 votes at noon, the 31st precinct, Seventh ward, had 94 votes. The largest vote by precinct was in the Fifth ward which has the largest voting population in the city. At noon only 410 votes had been east there In six precincts. The Fourth ward had 39 votes recorded out of a voting strength of over 2.000. Make N Predictions. Heads of the organizations working in the campaign were making no further predictions relative to the outcome of the vote. Interested parties predicted that unless a heavier vote was cast the outcome would favor the adoption of the proposed form of city government here, in spite of the general feeling which has prevailed in the city that the movement would be defeated. The campaign here has been extended over a period of five weeks, during which time efforts to arouse the interest of citizens in order to ob tain an intelligent referendum have been made by a citizen's committee favoring the movement, and a People's league, composed of anti-city manager forces. Interest Lags In spite of the enthusiasm that marked the opening of the fight for adoption of the commission-manager form of government here, when over 3,000 signatures were obtained to a petition asking that an election be called, the close of the campaign has been marked by lack of interest. Returns from all voting places should be ready for distribution soon after the polls close at 6 p. m. Novel Plan Adopted by Connecticut Graduates NEW LONDON, Conn.. June 14.

"We Pledge Our Love for the Flag" A few days before his death in an automobile accident at Indianapolis, Commander F. W. Galbraitht. Jr., of the American Legion, dictated a statement calling the attention of the public to the fact that Tuesday is Flag day when the people throughout the United States will, as he worded it, "pledge again their love for their flag and their firm purpose to serve it." It reads: "Flags are like people. They are full of personality, en dowed with characteristics, traditions. Ideals and faults. "These qualities flags borrow from the nations they represent, the peoples over whom they wave. If a nation is great and benign, striving to make the Golden Rule an international as well as an individual tenet, then is the flag of that nation a glorious emblem and a symbol of right and truth. But if the nation is a mean, a jealous and untrustworthy group, then its flag is only a bit of colored cloth. "Down through the ages men have fashioned banners; have marched beneath them into battle and toiled beneath them in peace. They have died for their flags. Flags have been the first bright thing to which the child has thrilled with recognition, the last thing taken by the soldier to his grave. "But is the flag worthy of such reverence? Only, indeed, if those who revere it have a group conscience and a group aspiration to be honorable and just. "Our flag was born when the nation was an infant. The breeze that first rippled its starry folds brought whisperings of troubled events, violence and bloodshed. But our flag lives on, to see the nation live and grow and prosper. Our flag has been carried into many battles but never on the side of conquest. It has known grave dangers but never has been sullied by a national shame.

" ' '" "Tnis' flag that ripples in the wind today is worthy of our reverences because we of this nation have striven and always must strive to keep our ideals lofty. Today we will pledge again our love for our flag and our firm purpose to serve it. Our pledge, made today and acted every day, will keep the Stars and Stripes glorious."

Opinions on Length of School Term

Another advocate of a shorter school term has expressed his opinion against, the 10-months period. ' A communication from J. C. Hurst follows: "Editor Palladium: "I wish to express my hearty endorsement of the shorter school term, advocated by Mrs. J. F. Hornaday, in Monday's issue of your paper. Without a doubt, hundreds' of others feel the same about the long term after this year's experience with it. "It is hard to see where any argument is needed to bring the school term back to nine months. It has just been shown, beyond any reasonable doubt that the longer term does not produce any better results, is a physical hardship on the pupils, especially the younger ones, and a needless expense to both patrons and taxpayers. Favor Short Term. "One can't help but smile, and effort is necessary to suppress a laugh when he reads the argument of Mr. Jordan for a longer term just now, when it is being demonstrated how impractical it is. I would not say the school board was autocratic in its decision ior the longer school erm, but it does seem they opposed the wishes of the majority of citizens in this matter. "In some places the sentiment against the longer term was well nigli ! unanimous. At a parent-teachers' meeting where the vote w-as unanitnui ir9in lmW t.rm iw before or after the vote, one of th3 school authorities made the declara tion that the longer term would obtain if he had the power to bring it about, I am told.

Hornaday today supplemented her statement of Monday in regard to the length of the school term in Richmond with .the following: "The article in Monday's Palladium quoting Mrs. J F. Hornaday on the present nine and one-half months school-term was very well written but did not fully state just what my attitude ls. "So many mothers have suggested to me in the past few weeks that 'someone should start some plan to shorten the school year' and have asserted that their children are nervous and worn out and doing no good in school and that it seemed an outrage to be keeping the children in school when most schools and colleges are closed. "I am sure we have three splendid men on our school board men whose wish it is to do the will of the majority of the people they represent I I only hoped to be able to ascertain the real wish of the majority of the parents of our school children, and I'm sure our school board will be only too ready to comply with their wishes.
