But he halls the explanation of for

When confidence abounds and all the

He wears solemn look and says he'll

The Senate and the Session.

The Senate majority will exert itself
to clear the table by the 4th of March.
1t does no. want an extra session OF
the new Congress. Nor does the coun-
try at large.
Much will depend on the Senate. Not
in all its history has that body stood
higher in the public estimation than
now. Within the past twenty months
it has made good with regard to both
its fairness and its fearlessness. Hay
ing a mind of its own, it has spoken it.
Both sides of questions have been pre-
sented. 1t has corrected the haste OF
the House on several most important
matters. Nothing can be rallroaded
through the Senate. The minority is
always allowed its day in court there
For this reason there is doubt about
what measures outside OF the supply
bills will be passed. The President
wants action on conservation, the Phil
ippines, the ship purchase bill and
few other things. But opposition VIII

may halt one or more of those meas
ures. An investigation of the Philip
pine question is on the cards, with

But even if all goes well with the

meets his wishes fully; if the table is

positive assurance against an early
session of the new Congress. The ne
cessity may arise at any time. a sud-
den change in the European situation
considered menacing to us would call
for immediate notice, and Congress
would have to take that notice
An extra session held under such Cir
cumstances would probably consider no
other business but that embodied in
the Presidents call. Certainly the pub
lie interest would center in that, and
be satisfied with it's proper transact

Hence any measures that may fail

edged the reverse. Since then reports
of the presence of Russian trsops il
the Servian ranks are renewed.
On the western front there has been
no change of moment The line that
stretches from the North sea to the
foothills of the Alps remains intact
German attacks have been reported
from Paris and London as hav wing been
repulsed, and allied attacks have been
declared by Berlin to have failed. Nei-
Their side has seemingly made any
Roadway of material advantage. though
perhaps the trend of the weeks re-

slight, gains. There is as yet no sign
that the often predicted general ad-
vance to take advantage of the heavy
concentration of German troops on the
east front has begun.
The fact of greatest moment during
the week has been the destruction by Il
British fleet off the Falkland Islands of
four German cruisers and the apparent
cornering of Il fifth, together with the
capture of two German golfers. This
naval victory for England practically
eliminates the effective German sea
power and frees the navigation of the
allied nations from interference.
The twentieth week opens with the
position of Italy remaining doubtful.
for although at the recent session of
the parliament at Rome it was an
nounced that Italy would continue neu-
trail. it is generally expected in Europe
that eventually that power must enter
the war field.

abided by the decision OF the majority in
this case, and made no outcry prejudi
cicl to his party in the campaign OF
either 1910 or that of 1912. He took all
hammering uncomplainingly.
Mr.. Taft's position was somewhat
similar. When the revision reached
him it was not in some things as he
desired. He had tried for certain
changes, but had failed. Had he vetoed
the bill great sensation would have
been created. But, as Mr.. Payne had
done. he accepted the majority's de-
cision, and signed the measure.
What would have been the result mad
all protesting republicans taken the
course of Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Taft is put
a matter for speculation. Another re-
publican Congress might have been
elected in 1910. Mr.. Taft reelected III
1912, and an effort made to correct
some of the inequalities of the iayhe
law. But the party divided. and ny
doing SO brought in the democrats
who brought in the Underwood law

party regard an injury to business.

LEAGUE TO MAKE STUDY
OF HIGH COST OF LIVING
immigration and Distribution Or
ganization to Seek Solution
Of Problem.

NEW YORK. March 30.-In a statement
issued by Henry Green, general director
of the American Immigration and Dis
tribution League, announcement was
made today that the league would be re-
organized in a campaign to solve the
problem Of the high cost Of living by OBJ
tanning the proper distribution OF immi-
grants on government farm lands. In his
statement Mr. Green said:
Immigration legislation is needed and
needed badly. but 1t must be the right
kind Of legislation. What is needed In not
restrictive, but discriminatory and help
full legislation.
az the government would set aside
500 200 acres Of land. cut it up into small
farming tracts. then establish bank
fund from which the immigrant could
borrow 81 900 to devote to the erection OF
a home, the development Of the land and
its purchase. the problem Of the high cost
of living would disappear forever within
a few years thereafter
"If 100000 people could be taken from
the large cities and sent back to the
land they would produce enough In food
stuffs to feed 100000 persons, and they
would create labor for 100000 other per-
sons now idle This added production
would bring the cost Of living down to
normal level

Elmendorf's Last Lecture.

With a wealth Of beautiful and in

cred the ground probably as thoroughly
as Mr.. Elmendorf. still there Is al
ways an individual charm about his
pictures and descriptions. and last
nights audience frequently manifested
Its satisfaction and enjoyment in the
form of applause.
The field covered was from Cairo to
Khartum. where Gordon made his last
stand, and at the close a colored view
showing an English rose was projected
upon the screen in honor OF the man
who lost his life in his country's serv-
ice. The views included the ruined
temples and cities, the great pyramids,
the Sphinx and other mysteries of the
land Of the Pharaohs, even q glimpse
of the generalization of mystery, the
great desert The picturesque Nile
boats, the Assouan dam and its engi-
neering marvels. with motion views OF
the unclaimed waters: a peep at the
date industry and the glories of
Khartum, as well as their sad memo
ries were pictured on the screen or in
the lecturers story, which by many
was regarded as the best OF his series.
