THE { 4USES OF DELAY.
DemocrQ C Reasons for Forcing a"
Erfr0 Session.
rHx TE,EoEArH TO THE TRIBrSE.l

1yash,rrton March ian explanation Of the
Democratic flibuster in the House s part OF
the prosramYne for the closing houFs OF the
LyIIth Congress to be supplied oy Representa-
tive Richardson of Tennessee the Democratic
floor leader Mr.. Richardson has his expIana-
tion on the tip Of his tongue, and the only thing
lacking IL the opportunity to get 1t into tina
Conversational Record" This opportunity Will
undoubtedly come when the Republicans find it
necessary to bring in a special rule for the con-
sideration of some measure. On this rule twenty
minutes. debate IL allowable for each side, and
this will give the minority leader his chance.
Mr.. Richardson will make the bold statement
that the Democrats OF the House purpose to
cause AZ, extra session OF Congress 1t BY any
possibility this car be done. This extra session.
he win DECLARE will be necessary for two prin-
cipai reasons: First. because the Republicans
have failed to enact in the numerous remedies
they have applied 20 the trust evil anything CT
potency The people Of the country are de-
rnanding more, he will say, and Congress snoulo
be called back to take up the question Wnen
there is ample time for its thorough consloera-
ton.
The second reason why the Democrats want
an extra session is the necessity they see for
revision OF the tarin schedules The message
Of the President in regard to this subject VIII De
referred to- and the Republicans told $nae tneIe
is q universal demand for tariff reduction, MT
Richardson will declare that with these oo1ectS
as incentives the Democrats will maintain thelr
policy of obstruction to the very last moment
and if by any chance any OF the bills "hlch IL
is necessary to get through at the present ses-
sion should remain unacted upon' the Oeino-
Gratis will rejoice in the prospect OF an extra
session.
Such a statement in explanation Of the fill
buster will be taken by the Republicans with a
grain of salt. The caucus at which the pro,
gramme of obstruction was arranged, passed
resolutions declaring that the fibuster was
caused by the Repu bIicap action In unseattng
Representative Butler. If the Democrats really
wanted an extra session of the next Congress,
all that would be required would oe Lhe alu ot d
few, r1enohers of the Senate. The floor Of the
Senate could be taken and held without any
great strain on the cratoricai powers OF the
Den1ocratic members of that body, to the exclu-
sion of the appropriation bills. and an extra ses-
sion assured without doubt.

The postmaster general has directed
that railroad trains not carrying mail
cars be allowed to carry newspapers to
the dealers along the routes, and that
such packages oe handled by the bag
gagemen and be considered as United
States mail and subject to all of the
protection that goes Herewith. This
will not only enable the readers of the
great dailies to receive their papers
much earlier than formerly in many
cases, but will also place every train in
the country under the protection of the
United States government, as being
mail trains. Strikers are forbidden to
mClest or interfere with their transit
in any way under penalty Of the feder-
al law. 1t will be great boon to the

A northern newspaper of note says
that there is a greater demand today
in the the south for both skilled and
unskilled labor than ever before. And
wherein lies the difficulty It is not
enough laboring material in the south.
There is. It is because so a 'ge a pro-
portion of those who can will not
work. They have utterly mistaken
ideas, if any at all, as to the response
bilities of life, and through false
methods of education prefer to aban-
don the farms and mines and go to the
cities where they expect to spend a
large portion OF their time in idleness
and live from hand to mouth through
odd jobs, and far too much by crime.
If close estimate of the number OF
idle, vicious people who spend their
time in this way in the south and the
north as well, could be made, the fig
ures would be astounding. to say the
least.
This class is by no means confined
to the south. There are large num-
bers of hem in the northern and west
ern cities. It has been said that there
are three ways to get living, earn it,
beg it. steal it. If a man does not
work for his living, ana somebody does
not give it to him, he will get it by dis
honest methods In many Of the
cities all over the country the number
Of persons who do not earn their living
is quite large. They beg it or steal it
The idea of colonizing this great army
of the idle from the cities Of the rural
districts might be of value in the solu-
ton of the problem, provided the sur
plus would agree to be colonized.
With this plan in successful operation
the labor problem in the agricultural
regions of the west as well as the south
mis hit be partially solved.

We haven't heard much of that good

yet it is q subject that should not be
