FAR BETWEEN PAyDAYS
FOR BOYS At CAPITOL
Pages "Ghost" Hasn't Walk
ed Since July l; Char
women in Same Boat.

Because the pages of the House ana
Senate have not been paid for more than
a month, and because the wages OF
many OF the charwomen at the Capitol
are I'm arrears. general attitude OF
criticism has been taken by some re-
publicans In the House against the ap.
preparations committee. which Is hard at
work on a big deficiency bill. containing
5000 covering all government de-
partments, and which will be reported to
the House about August l6.
Adopts Emergency Resolution.
The discussion OF the bill is rife to.
day following the debate in the House
yesterday when Representative Sisson or
Mississippi. a member of the appropr1a-
tions committee. succeeded in securing
the adoption by the House OF Joint
resolution providing for the pay OF
pages. telephone operators and other
session employees from July !, which
was their last pay day.
During the discussion Representative
Mann of Illinois said:
II do not know whether the committee
on appropriations is to blame. From the
deficiency estimates which nave pee.
coming in. apparently almost every
branch OF the government Is sending III
as deficiency estimates requests for
money which were turned down at the
last session.
Will of Congress Ignored.
Congress declined to appropriate
money to make provision for work ana
services asked for, and in utter disrs-
gard of. the will Of the appropriating
power the departments now blandly SEND
through the Secretary OF the Treasury es-
Inmates to the Speaker asking to have
the money appropriated as deficiency
which was refused as regular appro-
priation.
Mr.. Mann said that perhaps the COM
mittee on appropriations had been SO
busy hearing the department heads that
there had not been time to get out pii

have worked for more than q month with
out pay and whose pay day Is still sew

tory will lie in the greedy NAV Of the Northern
Bear.
According to Captain Burr'.s, letter to The Sun,
written in the heart of Urga, Mongolia's hidden cap
ital, whose roofs few white men have ever seen, for
months Russia has had Al army officers in Mongolia
for the purpose Of drilling and undermining the Mon
golian army, which consists Smelly of cavalry. Their
chief is Colonel Alexander Federov Nadejny, absentee
commando of the Ural Glinzsky cavalry, special and
confidential agent Of "PrincAGeneral Adviser to the
Emperor of the Mongols and fChief Military Instruct
or Of the Mongolia Army.' Associated with Colonel
Nadejny is Honorable Elof| Miller, the new Russian
consul general and diplomatic agent to Mongolia, a
shrewd diplomat, who has fpr years been in charge OF
Mongolian affairs in the Russian foreign offices at
st. Petersburg.
But the most remarkable and significant series of
facts tending to prove iAdisputably that Russian
designs on Mongolia are mt of recent origin center
around Major Semov Koroetavetz. This faithful and
highly intelligent Russian has been the czar's conf,
Dental agent at Urga tot seven years. In other
words, within a year of GApan's defeat of the Bear,
his paw, even then unhealed, was reaching out in a
successful grab Of an empire as large as ten Japans.
Most astonishing of all Is the fact that Major Kor-
ostovetz is now in st. Petersburg in the dual scapac,
ity Of chief of Monaghan AFFAIRS in the Russian for
eign Office and as Mongoian minister to Russia!
Truly, here is a case where the right hand knows
what the left hand doetn, with a vengeance.
No other nation has been asked to receive a
Monaghan envoy, nor has any one nation a consul
general and diplomatic bficer at Urga. Great Britain
is represented by a vide consul, Germany, France
and Spain by consular agents, while some Of the
other countries get Monyolian news occasionally from

Universal Bible SundQu

The idea of a universal Bible Sunday is that on
one and the same day Throughout. the whole Chris.
tan world the Holy Scriptures shall be the subject
of special consideration. not only in the churches
and Sunday Schools and wherever people congregafa,
but in the press, and that each recurring anniversary
shall be the occasion for reviewing the position Of
the Bible in the world, the progress of it's circulation
and translation into the various languages, and it's
relation to all conditions of national and individual
life. In such an annual review the discoveries which
are every year throwing some new light on the rec.
Ords of Holy Writ can be laid before the people, so
that the Word Of God may be more deeply studied as
it's truth is more clearly attested to the intelligence
of mankind.
The observance of a Bible Sunday has already
made substantial progress in various parts Of the
world. 1t has been observed for some years sporad-
ically in Great Britain the United States, Canada,
Australasia, South Africa and in the mission churches
Of North Africa. 1t has been established in places
in China, while in Korea 1T is celebrated on a national
scale, and was last year made the occasion Of gen
eral thanksgiving to commemorate the completion of
the Bible in the Korean language. In parts OF India
it has become an important annual event., and in a
number of cases the Hindoos and Join
the Christians in paying honor to the Bible and its
teachings.
These observances have taken place at various
times of the year, and what is now wanted is to
coordinate them into a common date, SO that Chris
tians everywhere may be one. in this as they are one
in the celebration of Christmas. The churches OF
New York have for some years had a Bible Day on
the. first Sunday in December. In a cycle Of seven
years this Nwouldsfall four times on thes.second Sun
day in Advent 1.-THE third Sunday before Christmas),
on which the Episcopal church of the United States,
and the Anglican church throughout the British En-.
pire specially refer to the Holy Scriptures. Such a
conjunction with an already widely recognized ami
versary seems to make this an appropriate time for
the annual review of the Bible, and this date does
not conflict with any generally, established anniver.
sary of other bodies of Christians.
The third Sunday before Christmas falls this year
on the It'll of December.

COnQyess and the New Leadership

The New Leadership idea is spreading. Mr.. VIII
son is mot to have a monopoly of the practice.
When the, announcement was made that when the
trust Game up at the regular session the administra-
tons views would be presented in a bill drawn by
Mr. Wilson'S order. criticism was aroused. Why not
leave that service to Congress?
Why should not Mr.. Wilson content himself with
a recommendation in the old way, permitting Con-
gress to work out the details after it's own fashion?
Why invade the legislative halls and influence action
there?4. Why attempt to convert Congress into a rub.
Der stamp?
Now come the PrOgressives following in the wake
of the Democrats. Antitrust bills representing their
views have been introduced in the House, and MIR.
Murdoch, the Progressive leader in that body, says
in reply to a question: mi. Roosevelt has not been
consulted by me, but the bills were drawn by his
friends and represent the trust program of the Pro-
eressiye party So that these Progressive bills are
SIS much Mr.. Roosevelts as, later, the Democratic
IN Or bills will be Mr.. Wilson's.
AS the Republicans are at present without a rec
ognized national leader, we shall not hear from them
in this manner. Mr.. Taft has his ideas on the sub.
ject, Mr.. Justice Hughes probably his, Mr.. Cumnins
his, Mr.. Borah his, and so on. But no bill or bills
introduced in either House or Senate for strengthen
ing the Sherman law will represent the Republican
candidate for President in 1916, for the good and sut:-
Gent reason that that man does not today stand
designated. He is still sitting in the lap of the gods.
1t is no new thing for a bill or bills to be intro
duced "by request" That practice has long obtained.
A Senator or Representative may thus oblige a per-
sonal friend, who desires to spread his opinions be-
fore the public SO as to attract wide attention to them.
Or a Senator or Representative, not feeling competent
to draw a bill on a subject in which he is particularly
interested, may ask assistance of somebody who is.
But the New Leadership calls for the introduction
of a bill or bills "by direction" Not only is the
authorship outside of Congress, but the power of pro-
pulson, also. Simon having spoken, Congress is ex-
pected to wigwag.
Here, in the proper analysis, is as big a question
as tariff duties, or currency reform, or the Stacking
Of monopoly; and at the rate it is developing it may
soon overshadow all three. Under the constitutional
design, Congress is an important body, and very i'm
portant duties are intrusted to it. Shall it abdicate?

Some Minor Mistakes

President Wilson is fortunate in the fact that so
many big issues obscure the smaller shortcomings
of his administration. The tariff bill absorbed atten.
ton while his first batch of nominations went to the
Senate, and this perhaps was why such nominations
as those of Gerard, Morgenthau and others that
smacked of political rewards got through without a
scratch, and were accepted by the public without a
murmur.
The currency bill and the Mexican situation have
in their way drawn a veil over later mistakes in
appointments. For example, Otto Wittpen of New
Jersey was named to the fat place of officer of the
port of New York. Who is Wittpen? He is a Jersey
Democrat who wanted to run for governor and who
withdrew in favor of Governor Fielder-it is reported
at President Wilson's request. National interests also
largely obscured the fact that President Wilson had
i%nterfered in the affairs of a sovereign state, when
he obtained the withdrawal of Henry D. Clayton as
q candidate for the Senate in Alabama and substi.
tuted Oscar W. Underwood.
It was only the fact that Pindells case appealed
to the American sense Of humor that prevented that
eminent diplomat from running the gauntlet unnoted.
The hamboyant Senator from Illinois, j.. Hamilton
Lewis, succeeded in bringing the Peoria editor before
the public in a ridiculous light.
The whole course of President Wilson toward the
diplomatic service has been disappointing, because
1t has fallen so far below his voluntarily proclaimed
standard. He has named as many men for political
reasons as any predecessor. He has accepted Bryan
men for the South American republics almost with
out examination. He has hung up a few appoint
ments that advertise well, like that of Walter Hines
Page to Great Britain and Thomas Nelson Page to
Italy, but he has spoiled the effect Of these by send.

post at Paris open until McCombs, his campaign
manager, can make up his mind whether or not to
take it.-Minneapolis Jorunal.
