NOT 4 ~Do-yOTBJyG" SESSION

The LVIIIth Congress has been criticised in
certain quarters a "do-nothing' Congress
Its long" session ended on April 2S. instead Of
running into June, July or August as the
''long" sessions Of many other Congresses
have done For that reason the responsible
managers in the two houses have been accused
of playing truant-of doing the least possible
amount of work and then breaking school for
an inordinate recess. Before adjournment the
minority leaders in both branches assailed the
majority for calling halt on legislation and
running away from neglected and unfinished
duties Political advantage, il was urged. was
sought in dispensing Congress long before II
had accomplished the average tasks of the
average session.
Such criticism, il can be shown by a study OF
the work Of the session Just ended does Con-
fress grave injustice That body should really
be credited with unusual expedition and dill
eence. not condemned for Incidence and ma
lingering. A report just prepared by the docket
clerk OF the House of Representatives, and sub
mitted 10 Speaker Cannon. effectually disposes
OF the charge that the LyIIIth Congress wasted
SITS time shirked its duties The second ses-
sion was an unusually short one, according 10
ordinary calendar computations. But il must
be remembered that its work had been greatly
facilitated by the calling OF the FIRST or extraor-
binary session, early in November At that
thanks 10 an early organization Speaker Cannon
was enabled 10 announce the House committees
The first week en- December. thus gaining flu
month on the work CT the ordinary long" ses-
sion, az which the committees are rot expected
10 be named unl;l after the Christmas holidays
Beginning promptly on ;he appropriation bills,
the House was able 10 send them 10 the Senate
month or six weeks earlier than usual and by
sitting on Fridays and Saturdays instead of
odjourning over in the leisurely fashion of other
days she MO houses had by April Is advanced
the great supply bills 70 a stage they had not
reached in many previous Congresses till June
10 or July 1.
Between December ana April 20 Congress
was actually IN session on 124 days This is I'm
itself an exceptional record. The With Con-
gress AT its long session, which ended on June =
sat on only i39 days. In those l24 days more
bills were introduced and more reports were
made than at any previous session OF Congress
More laws, pnblic and private. were passed than
81 any other session except the long session Of
tie List Congress, which lasted until October l.
The LVIIIth Congress also has the distinction

GERMANYS LITTLE WAR."

For many years the little wars" Of England
have been proverbial, and have been made by
her critics a cause of reproach. She has been
represented necessarily expressing native
tribes ands warning against them for their de-
structiOn, and at the same time has been ridi-
culed for her inability 10 dispose of them more
eXpeditiOusy That she should find ii neces-
sary 10 send out major general and an army
and conduct a campaign of months for the sup
preston Of a tribe of breech-clouted sayages
has been the cause Of unmeasured laughter
But now Germany, the greatest military power
Of the world, has a little war" on her hands.
Too. and is finding it far from n laughing mat
ter. 1t began in uprising of those particu-
Early despised people the HottentOts. Instead
Of being promptly crushed into nothingness by
the mailed fist of the War Lord. il has now
lasted for months, and the military authorities
at Berlin expect il 10 last year longer. Gen
erals, thousands of soldiers and batteries OF
artillery are being sent out TO do battle with
half-naked pagans. and are finding the task
in hand particularly difficult one. The best
troops of Europe, trained in the school of
Moltke. have suffered loss and defeat ~ the
hands Of Hottentots.
IL would be ungenerOus and unwiSe 10 jeer
ut Germany on this account or 10 turn against
her the criticisms which Germans have freely
directed against other countries in the same
plight. The lesson is simply this: That no war
is safely TO be regarded as n little one, ut least
until II Is ended. The experience OF England
in South Africa and elsewhere OF France in
Tonquin. of Holland in Sumatra, and now OF
Germany in Damaraand, as we'll as of the
United States IN the Philippines shows how
serious may be a conflict between even The
most unequally matched antagonists, and how
little ground any nation has for Wanting itself

PROTECTING Elk.

In many regions of the great West elk. for
countless centuries so plentiful have been al
most extirpated, although they are not so rare
as American bisons, which formerly were num-
bered by millions on the prairies.
1t is good news that the elk in Yellowstone
Park will he carefully preserved by the gov
eminent officials. and that every effort will be
made TO add TO their number. The wiping out
OF the armies Of the buffalo and the extermi
nation Of the vast locks OF wild pigeons were
among the most wanton massacres OF beast
and bird ever known and loss OF a depior-
able kind 10 the people Of the United States
Wise Legislation by the federal government and
by the legislative bodies OF States and Terri
tories would have protected the buffalo and
the wild pigeon 10 n reasonable extent. and
the benefit TO the country would have been Of
no small importance.
