more legislation be accomplished at this ses-
sion while the time OF the two bodies Is being
wasted by the Democrats in vain effort TO create
political capital and pad the pages OF The Con-
gressionaI Record with campaign speeches.
The leaders appreciate. however. that the Pres-
dent has set his heart the enactment Of certain
measures at this session. and that unless they can
convince him of their inability to do more at this
time and that the wisest is for them TO ad
journ he will call Congress in special session. 1t

the facts from which the leaders draw their con-
ference Incidentally Mr.. Watson is himself aRx-
ious for an early adjournment, he has been
nominated for Governor OF Indiana and will vel
come adjournment as enabling him TO go home and
attend to hs campaign.
1t is regarded as possible that the President ma Y
insist on some action or more Of the meas
ures he has recommended, including a financial bill
a child labor bill for the District of Columbia. a
bill amending the antitrust act, The leaders
expect To pass some financial measure but should
the President insist further legislation II Is
possible that a date later than May may be

Anti-saloon Lengue.

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-Please allow me to express to
you my appreciation OF your editorial
in Saturdays February 8th) paper
the Anti-Saloon League. 1t
means a great deal in favor of moral
reform to have paper like The Times
Dispatch go on record in favor of the
issues for which the league stands. The
league Is composed OF law-abiding,
peace-loving citizens-men and women
who love our fair home land and who
will do all in their power to protect
the people from lawlessness and crime,
both of which follow in the wake Of
the open saloon and dispensary.
1, Is the work Of all good citizens
to assist in creating moral sentiment
In favor of enforcing the laws as we
find them, and furthermore to help our
representatives to enact such new
laws as are needed to meet the needs
of the people; giving them protection
from the gigantic, ever-encroachine
monster, the liquor traffic.
Thanking you again for your edl'
torlal, and inviting you still to helr
us in this great and good work o.
moral reform. I am.
Yours sincerely,
