A Gray Congress-.

During the coming campaign the
Republicans will try to persuade the
country that Congress has emerged
from its recent session in glistening
white; and the Democrats will try
to show that it has dyed itself a
dull black. The truth of the mat
ter is that, like other things human.
Congress is neither black nor white
that is, gray.
Its character in regard to legis-
lation generally is well typified in
its attitude toward one questionable
biggest question with which it has
had to deal-the preservation of our
natural resources. Congress looks
very black after rejecting the meas
ure to provide for the very necessary
inland Waterways Commission, and
in defeating the plan for establishing
the White Mountain and Appalachian
National Forests. On the other
hand, it looks marvelously white in
its provision for studying the condi-
lions Of mining, and especially in
its radical and far-reaching legisla-
ton bringing the Alaska coal fields
under SUCH stringent control Of the
Federal Government that a private
coal monopoly is made illegal.
To the credit side Of Congress
belongs both things done and things
undone. The most noteworthy

its usual string of games after divid-
ing up into two teams. The team
composed of Beck, Thoms, Kammerer
and Reimers won two out of the three
games but lost the first one by close
score. Reimers bowled the high score
of the evening and had q chance to
beat the alley record but he fell down
on his last ball and had to be content
with score of 235. In his first game
Reimers secured a spare and after
that string of eight strikes. Had he
secured another strike in his next and
last trial the result would have been
a new alley record but the ball slipped
and split resulted and the chance
was spoiled. The scores for the games
were as follows:
