One ambitious Congressman has
suggested that they begin the SEES
sions at O'Clock in the morning. 1t
goes without saying that he is a
new member. otherwise he would
have known that from that hour in
the morning until noon. congress is
busy in the committee rooms of both
houses, where the greatest amount
of work is done. 1t is here that all
bills are discussed and prepared for
the action of the two houses. Ger
tainly nothing could ever be accom-
phshed without this preliminary
work in the committee rooms.

/ overheard a conversation be-
tween two ladies in the gallery n
few days ago. 1t was evidently the
hrst time either of them had wit
messed a session OF the senate, al
though it was evident that one OF
them was acting as guide to her COM
panion and wanted her to have the
impression that the deliberations OF
the senate were an open book TO
he;.
What are they talking about?"
asked the stranger.
Laws" said the other.
oh" said the other, much en-
lightened
After a while she asked If one
man could have the senate give his
constituents any law he wanted"
"Of course not, replied the other,
We'll, didn't know-one man
has been doing all the talking since
we came" she said.
Why" said her welI-informed
companion, lit sometimes requires
the united efforts of three or four
men in speaking for bill to secure
its adoption"
All of which goes to show that
inexperience sometimes hits the
mark.

Reverting to the work in the
committee rooms, the constituents of
every single member of the house
and senate make innumerable de-
mands which must be submitted TO
the president and, consequently they
must have some time to lay these
various matters before the chief ex-
ecutivc.
There is no other time when they
could do this except in the morn
ingb therefore, it may well be said
that the most effective work per-
formed by any member is done be-
fore the meeting OF the two houses
at high noon.
Congress must not be critized for
not giving time enough to duty. but
If there must be criticism IT should
be for lack of decisiveness and bold
ness OF action.
IT is claimed that timidity he's
for a long time characterized the
actions OF the members Of the house
and senate. can remember when
no such charge was ever made and
II does seem that the legislators OF
other days were more outspoken In
defense Of their convictions Of right
and wrong in matters of legislation
than are legislators Of the present
day.

Mississippi Valley Historical associa-
ton meetings. which will be held joint

great one.

SIGNS or EVOLUTION.

The Metropolitan Opera has offered
ten thousand dollar prize to the COM
poser of an acceptable opera by ma
tive born American This is an i'm
portance not TO the probable excel
lence of the work accepted but to
Americans that inferior foreign work
is accepted where the better Ameri-
can composers are turned down.
Then too, last week the corner
stone of an independent theater was
laid in New York, similar in it's pur-
pose to the Theater Franchise and the
German theaters which are run by the
state. This theater will give a hear
ing to those pIaywrights and compos-
ers whose work is of technical value
but whose production is a hazardous
financial undertaking. The theater,
will, beside that, give the standard
masterpieces.
These things are signs of the times
in America. They mark the passing
of a period which is necessary in ev-
cry new country for mere money max
ing. 1t Is part of the rise of idealism.
No longer with the erection of vast
colleges and universities, great librar-
les and art galleries can we be said
to be crassly materialistic. That an
endowed theater and prizes for Am
erican music should also come is but
step in the evolution of the coun-
try.
Perhaps it marks the passage of the
time when like the dansense Duncan
and the composer Edward Mcdowell,
it shall be necessary that the reputa-
ton shall be made in Europe before
genius shall be recognized in this
country. That may be to much to
hope for. But of one thing the public
may rest assured it will mean the loss
of grip on the part of the Theatrical
Trust which has strangle hold on
the drama and opera in this country
opera.

CONCERNING MISUSE OF THE
MAILS.

This community has had it's fill in
the last few years with the scandals
arising from misuse of the mails. The
recent case of sending alleged obscen-
ity through the mails is only an in
stance. But then
Few people know very much about
the postal regulations on that sort of
thing, nor about sending anonymous
letters or any of the things forbidden.
1t is a good wager that not many So
ciety matrons who send out their in
vitations to card parties know that
they are violating a postal regulation
by a recent decision if they offer a
prize at the function to which the in
vitations are issued. This is the case
under the laws against the use OF
the mails to carry on a lottery.
The fact is that the public is indeed
ignorant on the matter of what it
may and what it may not send through
the mails. This does not only apply
to obscenity or things that people
ought not to do for moral reasons. but
it also applies to paint, explosives,
glass, and what not. If the postmas-
ter of any town of average size were
asked of the many queer things that
are fished out of the mail which have
no right to be there, the public would
gasp at it's own stupidity.
There is a decided need for every
one to be better acquainted with all
the postal regulations for that matter.
In no instance is this more true than
in the matter of what can not under
any circumstances, be sent through
the mails.

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.

The article published in yesterday
mornings Indianapolis Star, written
by Augustus Lynch Mason. entitled
"The Essentials of Republican Success
in Indiana" contains some very per-
tinent remarks. He points out the
condition of what some people call the
Organization" in Indiana, and ends
with this conclusion:
Il, therefore, raise a cry that the re-
publican party of Indiana, if it recover
the state, must develop greater intol-
erance toward the misconduct of pub
lie officials and greater tolerance to-
ward the honest opinions of dissenting
minorities.'
This may seem fooishness to politi-
clans who are grown gray in the har-
ress. 1t may be the case that con-
ditions are not what they were in this
state. AT any rate some people think
so. Can It be that this is the hand
writing on the wall?

CARNEG|E'S PLEA
IS UNAVA|L|NG
Must Testify Before Ways and
Means Committee.

Washington. Dec 19.-Although An
drew Carnegie has begged the ways
and means committee to excuse him
from testifying as to the tariff on steel
products, because, he says. he has been
out of the steel business for several
years, and is not familiar with the
present situation. the committee has
refused to let him off.
He is expected to testify Monday
and il is believed his testimony will
end in the hearing as the committee
has announced it will take up the work
of preparing the new tariff bill next
week, and has refused to issue new
subpoenas.

A CHRISTMAS PRELUDE.

Several hundred years ago at about
this season a caravan was just cross
ing the little strip that divides the
desert from the sown. Those were no
ordinary merchants that were in the
caravan-they were kings with all the
pomp of their office. They had with
them spices of the Indies; balsam.
frankinincense and myhrr; precious
gold and jewels of great price.
And the first King said: 10 we
have journeyed with all haste TO find
the king of the world
And the Second said: I'VE shall
find him in the court OF Herod the
King of the Jews
And the Third said Il care not
where we find him only let us remem-
Der to follow the Guiding Star"

Twenty centuries are almost con-
cluded. Somewhere in the army OF
the poor-some where among the peo-
pie who are just like all of us, there
is a poor child who will not have any
presents this Xmas; not only not any
presents but perhaps no food, no
warmth and only rags for clothes.
Somewhere out on the streets hunting
for work to buy the child pint of
poisoned milk there Is tired mother.
Where are the Wise Men from the
East? Where are the Kings? Are
they on the stock market, in the Of
flee. at banquet?
Who knows what will happen to
that child Of the poor. Will he turn
out to be credit to society? Will he,
like Abraham Lincoln--born of the
poor white trash of the backwoods.
the son of a worthless father-rise
up to save country to which he
owed little or nothing? Or will he
turn out to be one of gang in one
of our large or small towns whose
life is menace to society and who
end in an arraignment of our social
ed humanity and civilization?
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-12-20

The answer to these questions lies
with you. Is there not some poor
child that you know of, to whom at
least in one day out of the 365 you can
bring little joy? Can you not bring
n ray of hope into life in which
there is much that is sad and little
that is pleasant.
Don't content yourself with looking
Into the court of Herod where all is
bright and gay. Don't think YOU have
had your full of pleasure when you
have showered mechanical toys on
spoiled children who have more than
they want already.
Look in the out of the way places.
Look for the tired and the sick moth
or with the small child. The time
may come when your descendants
through the accidents of life will be
IN distress.
