Congress-.

Tomorrow at noon they get the word,
and will be off
the democrats appear to be in good
shape Mr.. Clark takes the gavel. He
had TO opposition in his own party for
the speakeTship. and should find stout
support from his side in the office. All
may not be serene under the surface as
To the committee assignments, but it is
much that the disa ppointed are keeping
their grievances to themselves or con-
fiding them behind their hands to per-
sonal friends The rules committee has
agreed upon a line of procedure. and a
program of business for the session has
been adopted without trouble.
The republicans have some differences
yet TO settle. y thin line runs between
regulars and insurgents, and it must dis
appear II the party is to make a credit
able show OF opposition. Democratic
unity may bring that about. In Mr..
Mann. Mr.. Cannon. MI. Payne and Mr.
Dalzell the republicans have a quartet Of
experienced legislators and highly capa-
bic debaters and parliamentarians, and
nothing should be wanting to the putting
Up of stiff fight by the minority if the
two factions unite. And the case is one
of union or death. For nothing is clearer
than that if the republicans in House and
Senate fight among themselves at this
extra session as they did at the extra
session Of two years ago they will con-
tinue the fight at the regular session next
winter. and so into the presidential cam
paign in precisely the condition their op-
ponents desire.
There is the usual talk about playing
politics When was it not heard on the
eve of the assembling Of Congress? Poll
ties we always have with us. This Is
government by parties. and parties are
the expression of politics. If the House
majority. with It's power of initiative in
tariff matters, decides to play politics it
will do at some risk. In the first
place, the business world would prefer
business. and in the second place two
may play at the game. To succeed in a
distinctly political play at this time, the
democrats must have. not only superior
skill. but luck on their side. 1t might be
a gamblers throw. to win all or lose all.
Mr.. Bryan's presence in town is worthy
OF special mention. The leaders of the
House majority are his friends. Mr..
Clark stands very near to him, and on
every important committee may be found
men who have supported him in his eff
forts to reach the White House. Even
Mr.. Sulzer, from the enemy's country"
has three times braved the fury of Wall
street TO plump at the polls for the peer
less leader.
1t is natural, therefore. for Mr.. Bryan
to want TO see the start. And then a
suggestion or two from him should serve
q purpose. His two terms in the House
were served at time when, as now, the
tariff was the issue and his party COM
missioned to deal with it The party, 1t
is true, landed in the ditch as the result
of the action then taken. but maybe Mr..
Bryan obtained some points from the dis
aster which he can utilize now in his ad-
vice to those charged with the present re-
sponsibility. He is an interesting man at
all times and in all places. and welcome,
We may be sure, in this town today.

refuse and all waste material into the
valley OF Rock creek will end a practice
that threatens the extinction of this po-

Gull law. The pay rate for lessees OF
oyster bottoms is 81 per acre a year for
the first two years. 81 for the third.
So for the fourth. 81 for the fifth and
S. an acre yearly thereafter. The con-
tention is credibly made that this rate
was adopted not to encourage. but to
discourage private planting, and it Is
pointed out that hundreds OF planters,
who before the law became operative
were planting in creeks and partly land
locked waters. have let go their holdings
because the rental is too high. The Mary
land she'll fish commission has urged the
state to promote oyster culture rather
than to seek large Immediate revenues
from the leased bottoms. Under proper
oyster cultural law it. is. maintained that
Maryland could increase her present an
nual production Of 100000 bushels to
GO. coo 600 bushels.
The lax administration Of the Gull Law
is held TO be responsible, for the APP
preaching exhaustion Of the natural oys-
ter beds and the marketing of understood
and Immature oysters. The native oysters
the best prices come from
Virginia beds. The result Of the oyster
laws of Virginia, New Jersey, Connect
cut and Rhode island has been to in
crease and perpetuate the supply and
maintain the quality.
Washington would like to see the Chesa-
peake and it's tributaries developed to
the full as a source Of food supply. Old
Washingtonians recall how the terrapin
became extinct so far as, being COM
mon article of food, and how the herring
and shad fisheries have declined. Re-
Gently the news has gone out that the
crab supply Of the Chesapeake and its
rivers will be exhausted in a few years
unless protection is given the crab, es-
pecialiy the female crab.

 One of the most important reso- lutions passed at the meeting was an outspoken condemnation of the postoffice department for it's failure to rescind it's fraud order of 1907 against President Tucker of the oil company, after his aequittal by jury in Kansas City three years ago of the charge of using the mails to defraud-an action instigsted. it is alleged, by the Standard Oil com pany. The resolution, adds that this action "is in bold contrast with the attitude of the department of justice, toward the millionaire off, cer of our criminal competitor, who was permitted to remain unmo- tested, unindicted and free from prosecution, notwithstanding the supreme court of the United States has recently decided that the criminal oil trust and it's officers are guilty of maintaining crim- inal conspiracy for the last forty years," and ordered it dissolved.
