Washington, Jan. 23.-Actiylty, such

played by the committees so early in
first regular session of congress, is
now in evidence in botn wings of the
capitol Taft, by steering his charac-

legislative program.
The presidents skill in avoiding
clashes with either Republican faction
and his knack of compelling aid both
in his fight for the redemption of
party pledges, noticeably impresses
the Democratic minority. Threatened
fusion of the Democrats and in
surgent Republicans on questions be-
fore the house is now little feared by
the majority.

Chicago, Jan. 23.~ Revolutions have

American people are suffering now,
says Senator Bristow, of Kansas.

Bristow's words chrystallize the
sentiment of the country against the
higher cost of living Thus far the
movement has met most success in
the west. The east has been slower.
