Delay In Legislation.

The idea of an extra session of con-
gress in the spring find little favor in
congress. Nor is there prospect of
much affirmative legislation now. The
argument which is chiefly quoted in
opposition to the spring session is
that not enough time will elapse be-
tween now and the early summer for
the proper hearing and investigation
of such momentuous questions.
But there is strong and apparently
growing support for an extra session
in the autumn, in order that some
thing may be accomplished before the
country is again in the heat of a con-
gressional campaign. The next eight
months would give about the right
period for such inquiries. Called in
special session, congress could apply
itself to these two great subjects. and
would have chance to demonstrate
what the republican policies in con-
nectiOn with them were. This is the
more probable program. The presi-
dent is likely to be persuaded to aban-
don his desire for spring session, and
the extreme stand-patterS their plan
for delay until the regular session of
December, 1906.
