PROGRESSIVE AND CONSERVATISM

Il think there are few lessons
more necessary for men to learn,
not merely who are going to live
and move among their fellows, than
these: That there are few ques-
tions on which as much may not
he said on one side as on the other ;
that there are none at all IN Whlch
all the good are on one side and all
the bad on the other, or all the Wise
on one and all the fools on the
other: that the amount OF dead
weight in human affairs. call 1t
stupiditv or what you will, is pretty |
equally divided between the advo- |
Gates of order and the advocates OF
change. giving to the one party
mich of it's stability, and to the
other much of its momentum; that
intolerance is no prerogatlve OF het-
erodoxy. nor tolerance the lnsepar-
able accompaniment Of the con-
scious possession Of truth, a condl-
tior which might of all others the
best afford TO be tolerant, the most
merciful and pitiful Of error that
all congratulations, however SOUND
in logic. are in morals and practical
matters iDso faco false; that there
is no room for sweeping denuncla-
tions. or trenchant criticisms, in the
DEALINGS of a world whose false
hoods and veracities are separated
bv so very thin a barrier; to learn
that simple assertions, however re-
iterated. can never make PROOF
that multitude Of half-bellevers
can never make faith; that argu-
ment never convinces any man
against his will; that silence is not
acouiescence that the course OF
this world is anything but even and
uniform that such bywords as re-
action and progress are but the po-
litical slang which each side uses to
express their aversion and their
propensicns: above all, that no ma
terial success, no energy OF develop
ment. no eventful progress or con-
solida,ion can atone for the mis-
chief done by one act Of falsehood,
treachery or cruelty.

WASHINGTON, May a. Adjourn.
mcnt Of Congress now appears hs dis.
tant az at any time since the ptcscnt
session convened last December. Work
in the upper House is SO FAR behind
there is danger that the session win be
prolonged until October.
The present outlook is for a recess
abont June - until July 10 permit
members Of Congress TO attend the mat.
ional conventions. The Republican
Convention will be in Chicago on June
is and the Democratic in Baltimore on
June 25. By the first Monday in July
Congress win again be at the grind and
the final date of adjournment will then
be problematical.
While appropriation bills can be rush
ed through under whip and spur, as
they have been in the past, there are
several measures for which unanimous
consent cannot be obtained to a vote
until after exhaustive discussion.
Tariff legislation is in this class. SEN
ator Penrose announces that all the
House tariff bills, including those on
metals, wool, sugar, chemicals and the
excise or income tax bill, will be be-
fore the Senate by the end of next
week. Senate democrats as well as pro-
gresslve republicans are now determin-
ed to insist that vote be taken upon
all these measures. Leading democrats
are also resolved to force to a vote
every tariff measure sent over from the
House, even if the session is prolonged
indefinitely.
The Lorimer case will also open the
hoodgates of discussion, and there is an
earnest desire that final vote be taken
before this Congress adiourns. Oppon-
ents of Senator Lorll.er admit an an
prehension as to the result of the Nov
ember elections if the case is not dis
posed of now.
Canal legislation must also be fran
ed. measure for the opening and
operation of the Panama Canal is now
pending in the House and the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals has
been busy with hearings on the same
subject.
Definite information as to the tolls to
be charged vessels using the canal is
being sought by the shipping interests
of the world in order to prepare for the
use of the canal, and Colonel GoethaIs
is appealing for legal authority to form
a force for operation from the present
force of construction.
The fact that the session which con-
venes next December has practically
but ten weeks in which to work is
nerving those who want legislation
enacted to make the fight at this time.
