CURRENT COMMENT
Mileage.

Among the landmarks in a congress
ional life few great facts stand out
sharply against dull backgrounds of de.
bate and the inconsiderate demands OF
constituents as compensatious and emol.
lients--a congressman once called them
emoluments-in lsborious career. OF
all these the brightest and least perish
able Joy is expressed by the historic
term mileage" OF this the congress
man has always been acknowledged
wealthy, whatever aspersions may be
cast upon individuals and however the
cost of high living in Washington has
steadily waxed.
Our old friend, the pail of gloom,
has now settled down upon the present
house of representatives, as reported
from the nations capital. IL is not a
theory which confronts them-nothing
like it! it is cold fact, growing colder
every day. If the special session runs
straight into the regular session in De-
cember they face dismal prospect
Mileage of 20 cents mile is issued only
on adjournment, and that adjournment
must be separated from a new session
by time theoretically long enough for
congress to travel to their homes and
back again The prospect of Democrats
in office for the first time in nearly a
score of years losing their mileage causes
Democratic blood to run very cold.
Here is a practical matter for prac-
teal administration. How can a con
gresham be expected to give his best
thought to finance bill which he
doesn't know very much about when
his own lawful and traditional resources
are thus threatenedg Can the president,
who wants to get his money bill passed
in double-quick time, hope to solidify
his own support by crowding congressman
to the wall?-New York Evening sun.

1t is not easy to see how any self
respecting American woman who believes
in votes for women can stand for the
English-edited and French-published pa
per, called the "Suffragette!" if the jour
nal contains such indicate language on
sex themes, as is alleged at the present
time in New York City, where the cop
les are being sold like hot cakes by Mrs.
Pankhurst's lieutenants. Perhaps there
is reason enough why Great Britain re-
fused to let the paper be published in
its confines.

At least one city in Vermont is seek

ton few days ago and which is not
likely to be located in that village again
because of lack of proper fire protection
1t would be unfortunate for North Ben
nington to lose that industry, which was
its main industrial reliance, as the fac
tory employed about hundred work
men. In the end it would be cheaper for
North Bennington to put in adequate fire
fighting equipment rather than to lose
a flourishing industry to some other
town or city, possibly town or city
outside the state, too. Lest the latter
contingency should arise, Vermont would
like to have North Bennington wake up.

The hulk of the burned Volturno ought
to be examined thoroughly for bodies
