Business and the Short Session.

Serious embarrassment il reported on
tho part of members of the House and
Senate who are charged with the man
agement of legislative business on the
score Of the congestion of the appropria-
ton bills most of which arc yet To be
passed. with only twelve working days
remaining before the expiration of this
Congress- They must either RUSH the
bills through without that careful exam
ination which they require, or allow some
of them to lapse, thus acknowledging the
inability of Congress to transact it's bust
ness in the allotted time. with dependence
on an extra session for the provision of
funds to maintain the government.
This situation recurs every other year
1t is inherent in the system which ordains
a short session each odd numbered year.
When the Constitution was adopted no
such volume of business as now calls for
congressional attention was contemplated.
and the period from the first of Decem-
Der. to the end of February was deemed
ample for clearing up the affairs Of each
successive Congress Experience has
proved however, that it is not enough to
attend to all the details of government
business, the appropriation bills alone
furnishing material for work more than
occupying all the available time in a
short session.
II the resolution providing for change
in the inaugural date, now framed in
the House, were carried into effect by
way of a constitutional amendment there
would be no such dilemma on alternate
years. Congress. meeting on the first of
January. would remain in session. under
the proposed system. indefinitely. the
Inauguration Of the President being mere
ly an incident in the course Of its work.
BY this system Congress would expire
only on the 3lst of December Of each
even numbered year. Thus, If necessary,
the last session Of Congress might con-
tinue for twelve months. All appropria-
ton work, however. would. of course,
need to be accomplished by the 1st Of
July to make regular provision for the
fiscal year needs of the government. That
would give six months for appropriation
legislation, quite an ample time in all
circumstances.
1t is now suggested that some sort Of
budgetary system may be devised. the
appropriations committee determining the
amount Of money to be spent in the ag-
gregate and allotting proportionate sums
to the particular objects of regular an
nual provision. This would not solve
the problem of delay. There would still
in those circumstances be the same diff
Guilty of reaching agreements, and the ad-
vocates of particular measures would be
in a position to fight vigorously for their
projects, with their opponents as free to
interpose objections and delay action. The
trouble lies not with the present system
of handling the appropriations, but in, the
calendar limit to each alternate session

The situation is admittedly difficult. Ii
may become more difficult. But, for the
time being at least, the forces Of Madero
and Felix Diaz should be left to fight IT
out until one or the other succumbs. All
foreign residents have had two years
warming to leave the country. Conditions
may arise, to be sure, which would compel
the most reluctant of governments at
Washington to march it's troops into Mex
leo; but no foreign power is entitled to
force this country to take such a step ex-
cept as last resort, in view of the prob
able consequences to the intervening pow
er. 1t would be cheaper by far tor our
government to pay the damage foreign
governments may be ultimately entitled
to- on account Of the losses OF life and
property among their nationals In Mexico,
than to meet the costs of an almost end

Grande to the Guatemala boundary.

There seems to be little prospect that

of the session, any large number OF the
nominations to Office now before 1t. Its
attitude in this matter is plainly mat
ter OF partisan tactics. The democrats
think that every place now vacant ought
to be filled by the new administration
and the progressives are not lndisposed
to humiliate the President in this indirect
fashion Whether Mr.. Tafts successor

of this kind may be doubted.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The
crowds who are expected 10 visit
wheeling on the occasion of the semi
centennial celebration of the fornfa-

in not being able to see and hear the
secretary of the United States. Mr..
Bryan has been compelled to decline
the invitation rendered him some
three months ago and tentatively ac-
cepted at that time. Mr.. Bryan gives
as his reason for Withdrawing his &C
ceptance that the work oz his office
became so congested during his re-
cent trip to California, which was en-
tirely unanticipated by him when he
accepted the invitation, that he is now
unable to leave the city except upon
the most urgent public business. He
went to meet the Brazilian minister OF
foreign affairs at old Point Comfort,
but this was an official trip which
was practically compulsory and not
of private nature which a trip to
wheeling would be. Consequently
the visitors at Wheeling will be
deprived of the privilege of seeing
the secretary of state at this time.
