CHICAGO, November 25.-The ses
sion of Congress that will open soon
ought to be one of the most interest
ing since the one that provided for
the war with Spain. 1t will be dSht-
ing Congress from the start-a body
of politicians fighting for control of
the national government. Each party
has it's own factional fights. Republi-
can insurgents and Republican stand
patters will have the Senate for their
arena and the duel may we'll be to the
death. The insurgents are not with
out dissensions, Mr.. Roosevelt's sud
den dash into the limelight with his
attack upon the Taft method of regu-
lating corporations is laboriously con-
strued by some insurgents as boom
to La Toilette, but more shrewdly not
ed by others as a boom for Roosevelt;
Just what the insurgents will do
with their Roosevelt is a problem.
They want him with them but don't
want his leadership. AS a distinguish
ed insurgent senator said to me, I'VE
will be glad to march shoulder to
shoulder with him in united attack
on political abuses, but we who have
borne the shock of conflict while he
was shooting lions in Africa, or being
himself lion in the court circles of
Europe, do not propose to have him at
the last moment rush forward, adj
vance his own banner and seize the
honors of leadership. Not much"
He Got Them the Notices.
But it is a fact that one Roosevelt
outbreak rouses more excitement than
all the speeches, documents, defiances
and appeals that come from progress
sive headquarters in Washington or
Chicago. One blast upon his bugle
horn is worth a thousand speeches by
Pinchot or magazine articles by La
Toilette. When the national progress
sive conference was held in Chicago
a few weeks ago one of its principal
promoters said, 1--WE didn't need a
conference All that we did was UNI
derstood beforehand, and we had not
enough business to keep us in session
for the two days planned. But we
had to do something to make noise
in the Associated Press"
When Roosevelt writes or talks all
the press associations take notice.
However, it is a fact that this curl
Gus faculty of Roosevelt's getting the
attention of the audience whenever he
appears is worrying the progressives
not a little. At heart but few of them
are unreservedly for him. Jealousy
explains this in part, but it is more
generally applicable by certain
vague distrust as to where he stands
Is he really a progressive or stand
patter? Nothing in his utterances

GEORGE AND TOLSTOI CREDITED
WITH CHINESE REVOLUTION

CHICAGO. November Success
of the liberal party in Great Britain
and the Chinese revolution were
claimed as fruits of the single tax agi-
tation by single takers who gathered
in the city today for a three days con-
vention. Joseph Fels, the Philadelphia
manufacturer, founder of the Fels fund
commission, under the direction of
which the Chicago gathering is held,
put forward the claims of the single
takers. He discussed the progress of
the single tax movement in Europe
(whence he has recently returned
after nine months trip, in America.
and then touched upon Asia.
The movement is making progress
rapidly all over the world" he said.
1T is growing rapidly in Great Britain,
Denmark, Sweden, Kew Zealand, New
South Wales, France, and even in me,

being translated. Even the Chinese

In England also the single tax is
becoming a great factor. 1t was the
introduction of the three clauses con
corning land valuation in the budget
which made it vital issue, and con

its victory a year ago, and that it

Other single takers here for the ma
tional single tax conference considered
the position of the movement as most
encouraging They all looked forward
to an actual test of the principles Of
single tax in the United States with
in the next year This test, they be-
lieve, will be forwarded by victories
which they expect to win in Oregon
and in Missouri. Among those who
saw victory in sight are Warren Worth
Bailey. A. b. Dupont and Daniel Kei-
fer.
In Oregon a law has already been
which enables counties to vote
on the question of the adoption of the
single tax, and several counties will
submit the single tax question to the
people at the election next November.
The single takers assert that they will
carry a majority of these counties. A
statewide single tax law is to be sub
mitted to the voters at the November
election in Oregon.

busy scene, and each engine screamed
its three whistles of welcome to the
tug as she passed up the channel. On
one side there is a patch that is called
the graveyard. The reason is obvious.
Out of the water are sticking a col
lection of poles and flags, Some Of the
poles bear crosses, some diamonds and
some other sort of devices. The rea-
son why it is called a graveyard,
though, would be on account of the
numerous patches of coral that are to
be seen sticking up, Just beneath the
surface OF the water, and the shadows
that are there. There is only about
