Two Sessions OF Congress.

The decision of President-elect
Wilson to call congress in extraordi-
nary session assures us of two ses-
sions In the near future, the short
one OF the Sixty-second congress,
meeting the first Monday In Deem
ber and ending on March 3, and the
special session OF the Siyty-third con-
gress, beginning not later than
April Is and ending the Lord knows
when. This will make three con-
gresses that have been assembled III
extra session at the very beginning
of their official life and all on ac-
count of the tariff. President Taft
called the Sixty-first congress 70
meet almost Immediately after he en-
tered Office in March, 1909. the re-
suit OF which was the Payne-Aldrich
bill. Again he convened the Sixty
second congress In March, 1911, to
deal With Canadian reeirroeity Now
his successor has indicated that he
will call the sixty-third congress to
handle tariff revision. This show
dlspoeition 70 make the member
earn their money.
IT isanot. probable that the shoT
session will do much more than pass
the usual appropriation bills. II
takes three months to prepare for tn
spending Of $1,000, 1000, 900, and evep
then there must be considerable Of 4
hurry and scramble in the last days
In this connection 1t Is safe 10 say
that congress will never Join the
new order of the spugs, or Society
For the Prevention Of Useless Giving
Congress has followed the othel
course SO long that it has become q
habit. Giving is the average mem
ber's middle name. II the Lord Low,
eth a cheerful giver---of other peo.
ple's money---our national legisla
tors should be in divine favor They
give not wisely, but too well. o.
course the newly elected congres
may change all this. The first tern
members usually promise to do 6,
before they get on the job. After
ward---well, afterward the oldcl
members outvoted them. You know
how it is.
As to the special session. it will. o
course, revise the tariff. but to whai
extent or In what manner Is yet oper
to question. The probability now Is
that the one-schedule-at-a-ti meth
cd will be followed. probably begin.
ming with the much discussed Seized
ula X. After a few schedules arr
thus manicured II is possible that ;
general bill will be brought In cover
ing the remainder of the duties.
Another question that will demant
settlement OF the new congress Il
that Of banking and currency reform
1t Is even possible that an attefnp
win be made to take this up at thu
short session, but It Is PRACTICAL.
certain that no definite action will b.
taken before the meeting of the new

Boston, Aug, l7-What many scient-

But Miss Kellers speech in Eng

BIG PEACH
SEASON IS
NEAR END
THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS
RIPEN TOO EARLY FOR
SHIPMENT

Wednesday will probably end the
Zig peach shipping season in Logan
county The intensely hot weather
of the past few days has caused the
peaches to ripen rapidly and as a
result thousands Of bushels of <he
lucious El1ertas will be lost to the
fruit grower as far as shipping is
concerned.
1t is now estimated that Logan
county will have shipped at the end
of the season about 700 car loads Of
peaches, at least two hundred cars
short of the early estimate placed
on the crop by both the railroads
and the fruit growers association.
The price of the fruit has kept uT
remarkably well. an average Of 80
cents being maintained throughout
the season,
1t is estimated that the canning
factories and the housewives of the
county have put up at least 100000
cans in addition to the amount ship
ped to the eastern market
The crop in Logan county this ye9r
has been unusually large the quality
exceptionally fine and the price pet
ter than expected, but the season
on account of the heat has been cut
short at least week.
All of the packing stations We're
in operation Sunday throughout the
county and the peach orchards
swamed with pickers from early
morning until darkness shut them
off at night.
1t is estimated that over twelve
hundred people have oeen employed
in the peach orchards and the SHIP
ming stations in and adjacent to
| Guthrie for the past fifteen days.
The average wages for the picking
is s175 per day. At that rate. a
daily pay roll of $2,10O has been
maintained for the past hall month
on account of this industry alone.
The total amount paid out for
labor by the peach growers VIII
reach s35,00J.

Washington. Aug l9.--lmportant
legislation that must be acted on

day as follows
Panama canal bill, before the

Legislative, executive and judicial

house and now before the senate,

merce court.

tween the two houses.
General deficiency appropriation

Indian appropriation bill conference

While adjournment Is expected
this week the date is generally con
ceded to depend upon the presidents
attitude toward the Panama canal
Aill AND the legisla iive,t executive
and judicial appropriation bill His
veto of the latter measure last Week
was based upon its provisions for
the aboishment of the commerce
court and the establishment OF a
seven year tenure in the civil ser
vice and the house has again risked
| the veto by passing fhe measure
with the commerce court provision
| in It. The senate Will determine
early in the week whether it viii in
dorse the measure in this form.
Leaders OF both houses are CON
hdent that remaining work on the
overdue appropriation bill could be
disposed OF in three DAYS were the
contingencies OF the presidential
veto removed
The president has made it clear to
members of both houses that he
does not favor the free tolls proyls
ion Of the Panama canal bill but he
has not as yet asserted a purpose 70
veto that measure.
Thus far congress has not succeed
ed in overriding any of the presi-
dents vetOes and it is not considered
llikely that either the legislative ap-
preparation bill or the Panama
canal bill could be repassed by a
two!thirds vote If vetoed this week.
Those tariff and appropriation meas
ures which the house has repassed
over the veto have failed in the SEN
ete and the single bill which the
senate repassed, that affecting
claims of the Corbett irrigation tun'
mel, failed BY six votes OF repassing
in the house
The sundry civil appropriation bIll'
on which the appropriation Of S225,-
600 for the tariff board is at issue IS
approaching settlement in the con-
ference committee. Out Of 259 items
in the $IlG,000,00 bill upon which
the two houses disagreed, all but
about five have been settled and an
agreement on these is expected early
this week
The house Yesterday asked the
senate to compromise the naval fight
on one battleship basis aud an
agreement on the naval bill IS ex-
peeted Immediately Other meas
ures will not take much time. The
senate will take up the six year
presidential term resolution, the
uniform bill Of lading measure and
the bureau Of labor bill this week
All legislation aside from appro-
priation bills is likely to be laid
aside, however. in the desire to com
plete work by Thursday or at lcast
by the end of the week.
