The Work Of CONGRESS

Congress has adjourned early this
year, though not earlier than customar
in presidential election years. The
members naturally prefer to get through
before the conventions meet, for many
of them will de delegates, and even
those who are not, generally wish to
attend
The work done at this first session OF
the sixtieth Congress compares very
favorably with the average OF its prede-
cessors. Not all the measures recon-
mended by the President in his various
messages were enacted into law, but
some them were, and there was due con-
sideration of some Of the others, thongh
a final agreement on them could not be
reached. On the emergency currency
bill, for instance, House and Senate diff
fered so completely that no measure was
passed. The Senate passed the Aldrich
bill, and the House the Vreeland bill,
and there was no apparent probability
of "A compromise, SO neither bill became
law. 1t is not at all probable that
there will be another emergency before
the next meeting of Congress, and il
there isit can be met as the last one was
by the issuance of clearing house certiti-
Gates.
Two of the most important things
done were the authorization of commits.
sions or committees to sit during the
recess and prepare, one for the revision
of the tariff, and the other for compre-
hensive currency measure. The House
committee on ways and means, and the
Senate finance committee, are to get
ready for tariff revision, and the cur
rency comission consists of members of
both houses, who will, of course, avail
themselves OF whatever expert assistance
they seem to require.
The great work of the session, OF
course. is the passage of the regular
appropriation bills, and this is work
enough for an ordinary session. Every
item in every bill has to stand the fire

Senator LaFollette Of WISCONSIN
broke the congressional records for long
distance talking last week when he
spoke continuously for almost eighteen
hours in an effort to defeat the currency
bill. The result was probably not what
he anticipated, as change was made in
the interpreta tion of senate rules which
makes tilibustering impossible hereafter,
as no opportunity for intermission is
given a speaker except by yielding the
floor and he will not be allowed the floor
after yielding twice..
A very strong movements is beginning in
New York to have Governor Hughes re-
elected. He has said he would not take
a denomination, and that he could not
afford to; but the measures he has advo-
Gated are so important, and such COM
paratively small progress has been made
with them, that some OF his friends
hope to convince him that it is his duty
to stay in and finish the work he has
begun SO we'll. From a party point of
view that would be most excellent
politics. With Hughes on the repub-
lican ticket for governor, it would be
much easier for Taft or any other re-
publican presidential candidate to carry
the state.
