Not in lightness of heart or eleva-
ton of spirits does the congress of
the United States assemble in Wash.
ington on the first Monday of De-
cember this year for the first reg
ular session of the Sixty-second
Congress. There are several grave
and pressing matters to fill the
minds of thi members, and before
them looms the shadow, cast before,
of 1912.
Well or ill as the senators or rep
resentatives act in the coming
months of the session, they will be
blessed or banned in the campaign
of next year, in which a president
will be made-or, perhaps, unmade.
The acts of the present session will
figure very prominently in the pages
of the campaign text books, in the
editorial columns and in the stump
speeches 1t behooves the lawmakers
to look sharp to their deeds and ut
terances. BY such will they and
their parties be judged when the
great decision is made in the coming
summer and fall months. 1t is no won
der that the burrows of care are al
ready discernible on the brows of the
statesmen gathered under the big
dome.
That much for the general situation
in Washington. OF specific questions
to be acted upon there is no lack, al,
though their Importance, individual
and collective, exceeds their quantity
In other words, the important subjects
to be considered are not numerous
but they are weighty. Among them
are the revision of the tariff, monetary
reform, international arbitration and

regard to the interdependence of the
producing interests and with such an
adjustment of rates and schedules as
shall secure uniformity, consistency
and fair play. If the country wants
more tariff revision and if it wants
that revision to be in the direction
of free trade the country has the right
to have and the power to compel the
enactment of such tariff. If, on the
contrary, the country wants a tariff
that shall be adequately protective Of
all forms of American labor and in
dustry the country will say so and
get that kind of a tariff In any case
the country should decide this ques.
ton as a whole and not in chunks.
That is the only safe and sensible
and equitable way of settling the tar
| if question"
The Democratic attitude is simply
that a general revision of the tariff
is impossible with the upper house in
control of their political enemies, and
| it is better to give the country piece

The Tariff Revision Question.

tariff. The tariff board appointed by
President Taft in 1909 in accordance
with the act authorizing him ito en-

the house will not send to the senate a
bill providing for a general revision of
the tariff, but will attempt to attain the
same end by means of a series of bills,
each revising a separate schedule. The
policy will be found by the standpat-
ters, the conservative Republicans, in
both houses. They have already raised
the cry of mo tinkering with the

Sherman Law Upheld by Democrats.
Such is the view of a critic of the
Sherman antitrust law who holds,
with others, that the decision of the
supreme court, reading the word "rea-
sonable" into the act to precede the
words restraint of trade" has not
made it entirely clear how much com.
bination or which form of combina.
ton is permitted or prohibited by the
law. But it is an interesting fact that
the Sherman law, fathered by old
John Sherman, one of the stanchest
Republicans of his day, and passed by
a Republican congress, now finds
some of its strongest and ablest de.

Typhoid in Army Camps.

From the Chicago News.
Perhaps the worst enemy with which a
modern army in camp has had to deal is
typhoid fever. The havoc wrought by this
dreaded foe to the United States troops
during the Spanish-American war is well
remembered. Many thousands of soldiers
were stricken in the southern camps and
many hundreds died.
1t is interesting. therefore to learn that
up to recent day only one case Of ty-
phoid fever had been recorded among
the 1900 troops of the regular army
which have passed many weeks of the
present year in Texas near the Mexican
border. This admirable result is due to
several causes The most exacting sani-
tary and hygienic regulations that could
be formulated were enforced. In the mat :
ter OF flies, for example. extraordinary
precautions were used to keep the dis
ease-bearing insects from sources OF dis
ease germs.
to the typhoid serum with which the
medical branch Of the army has been en-
perimentirg for several years. All the
troops sent to Texas are said to have
been inoculated with this serum
1t seems thus to have been well demon
strated that typhoid is preventable even
in army summer camps in the SOUTH
where men become especially susceptible
to its attacks. One result of this demon
stration should be thorough instruction
of militia officers in the valuable infor-
nation on this subject gathered In the
regular army.
