DEFEATED AGAIN.

The emphasis with which the National
Encampment refused an Endorsement Of the
proposition to pension all honorably dis
charged soldiers at the rate of S. month
shows that, instead of having made friends
during the past year, that measure has lost
much ground.
AT the National Encampment at Portland
last year the measure was supported with
earnest and brilliant speeches by Comrades
Geo. II. Patch, Loring, Tarbell and others,
but was finally voted down by decisive
majority. This decision was not accepted
10y the friends Of the scheme, who have ever
since carried on an active canvass for it by
circulars, speeches before Posts and Depart
ment Encampments, petitions to Congress,
and any other means at their disposal. But
their success does not seem to bear any re-
relation to their earnestneSs and activity, for
the report says that they were defeated in
the Encampment by vote Of 327 to Sc, or

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

The 10th Congress has closed its long ses-
sion, and therefore done most of its work.
II cannot be said that it has done well nor
exhibited any marked industry, except in
the introduction of bills and the covering of
nearly 1900 pages of the Record with
speeches 1t has been profuse in the plenti-
tude of its promises and meager in perform
ance. 1t either promised things it never
meant TO do, or else had not the courage of
its convictions.
The bill for the repeal of the limitation to the
arrears of pensions law which was so boldly
promised was suffered to lie buried under
the debris of the calendar, the House delib-
erately lodging a vote on the question as an
amendment to the widows bill by parlia-
mentary subterfuge. The Mexican Pension
bill was allowed to go over in conference,
and the Logan bill, embOdying the recon-
mendations of the National Pension Com
mittee Of the Grand Army, was permitted to
sleep in Committee. The Blair bill, which
passed the Senate, found its grave on the
House Calendar, and the prisoners of war
bill was lost sight of after vigorous efforts in
inventing ways how not to pass it.
The only two measures of general relief
that became law were the bills to increase
the widows pension from s. TO the mag
nifcent sum of So month, 10 compensate
them for the loss Of their husbands, and the
bill to increase the ratings for amputated
limbs Such is the record upon the subject,
which should appeal TO patriotic Congress
more strongly than any other.
AS TO other matters, nothing was done
about the silver question, sea-coast defenses,
the tariff, OF the count of the electoral vote.
A bill of doubtful constitutionality, Iele-
eating TO Presidential succession in case OF
casualty to both President and Yice-Presi-
dent TO the Cabinet, was passed. The bill
TO erect library building became law, as
did niggardly provision for the rehabili-
tation of the American navy. Silver Certifi-
Gates Of small denominations were provided,
and the law to suppress the sale of imita-
ton butter was pushed through. The omni-
bus river and harbor bill about completes
the category of things done of general i'm
portance, save the resolution TO reduce the
the Treasury surplus, which died because
it was not signed by the President prior to
adjournment.
The settlement of the Oklahoma contro-
versy, the admission Of Dakota and Wash
ington, and scores of pressing matters sleeE
in graves that will not be reOpened during
this Congress. u
AS to pension legislation we shall not
relax our efforts though the battle ia long
bu. specially vigorous work will be neces,
sary, owing TO two reasons. First, the short
, session from December TO March is not lon.
, enough to accomplish much beyond the
passage of the regular appropriation bills
and, second, many Members will return
, defeated at the polls for reelection, ant
with no interest in general legislation. II
offset this disadvantage, however, the tedious
elaboration Of committees is at an end upOI
{ the most important measures, and GOthins
| is necessary except the intention, TO TAX
them up and vote on them at any time

DR.. John Swinburne, Of Albany, the Repre-

is emnently a self-made man. Born at Deer
River, Lewis Co., n. Y, May so, 1920 be began
life under unfavOrabe circumstances, being
left while young in large degree the support
Of n widowed mother. His early education
was obtained in the public schools Of his native
County, after which, by devOting o portion of
his time as a school teacher, he was enabled to
complete an academic course. His early am
bition was to study for the profession Of surgery
and medicine, and for along period before he was
entered as a regular student he had devoted
his leisure hours to the study of works on
medicine and surgery, so that when he entered
the medical college at Albany he was further
advanced in anatomy than any of the students
who had been in the college two years. One
year after graduating from that institution he
was appointed by the faculty demonstrators of
anatomy and clinical surgery in the insttu-
tion, position which he held for three years.
His extraordinary success as a practitioner
and his rare executive ability earned for him
