WHY MAKE DELAY?

Word comes from the East that the
Democratic leaders are not in favor
OF an extra session of Congress upon
the inauguration OF President Wilson.
Senator O'Gorman Of New York is
quoted especially as opposed to the
idea OF special session, arguing that
1t would be a bad public policy, as
the call for an extra session would be
certain to have the effect Of disturb.
ing the present prosperous business
conditions He argues that the inter
val between President Wilson s in.
auguration and the meeting of Con.
gress on the first Monday of Decem.
Der thereafter, eau more proGtably be
| spent in giving consideration to the
general situation and discussing among
leading Democrats what ought to be
done IN the way of tariff revision,
than in prccipitatlng that revision by
means Of an extra session. The argu.
ment is that all is well at present and
that there needs 10 be no disturbance
of conditions that are SO satisfactory
All that is well enough, and it is
perhaps both good politics and good
public policy TO postpone coDsidera-
tion of the tariff question until the
Democrats can come to fair work
ing agreement about what ought to be
done. But in that view Of the case,
what defense is there for the long aud
aborcd efforts of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives TO pre-
cipltate tariff legislation last summer7
The reason for such legislation at that
time, as gwen. was that the country
was suffering for the lack Of Demo.
cratic revision Of the sugar tariff, tho
metal schedule, and the wool tariff.
But II the country was suffering for
the lack of this Democratic revision
Of those schedules last summer, how
does 1t happen that it is not suffer
ing for the lack of that legislation
now! And what reason can be given
TO show that the country will not be
suffering next summer for that same
legislation just as it was suffering for
It last summer!
There does not seem TO be auv
reason whatever for postponing the
Democratic tariff legislation, provided
always that it be assumed that such
legislation will benefit the country,
as the Democrats claim that it will,
aud that business will be helped and
the country enriched by that lcgisls-
tion, II these claims are true, there
should be no delay in calling that
extra session, and getting this benc.
fetal legislation upon the statute books
at the earliest possible date.

In his address l.. A. Markham stated that the commercial potato crop Of the past year was from thirty to seventy per cent of normal and the indications at this time are that the potato markets will depend upon the South the coming year for potatoes to meet the demands. They should bring, he said, little more than the cost of the seed. He argus d that every farmer should plant from five to twenty acres in potatoes and added thlt if 300 or 400 acres are planted in this county there will be DO trouble in finding a market for the crop. He also urged the truck growers to arrange rates before planting, at least three months pre. vious.

 The jurors did net take 'taeir usual walks yesterday, owing to the damp ness of the weather and becau2e all of the jurors preferred to remain in the steam heated court room at the court house, where they spent the day Jumping benches" and reading maga- zines.

It will do them more good than carload of sermons and bunch of jay preachers. It will makes them good and true to their fellow man and more love to wife and children.

yards of cream, gold and white bunt-

strips Of cloth together six seamtresses
drove their sewing machines eight
hours a day for two weeks Three
hundred flags have been used.
The balcony ratings are festooned
with national colors and at the base

with red, white and blue, with the
colors and arms of the state Of Mary

The use of this fire-proOf bunting in

the convention committee from taking
other precautions against a possible

usual number of exits, and the fact
that the main floor is on level with
the outside street is regarded as an
other valuable factor of safety.
