gress next summer is conspicuous
among senators and representatives
now arriving. A rest of eight
months is earnestly desired. The
only way to assure it is to clean up
81, 900, 100000 of appropriation bills
before March A.. 1t may also be
necessary to appease President Will
son by a few general enactments,
says the special correspondent of the
Springfield Republican.
Chances are that within 80 days
President Wilson will be driving the
legislators under whip and spur to
close out the flag ends of his general
program that were not completed at
the last session. Republicans ad-
nit that much of that sort can be
done, if only there are assurances
of no extra session. The House has
gotten a running start. Its several
committees that have to do with ap-
preparations have been preparing for
the best part of fortnight. A half
dozen of the important budgets can
be made ready for passage before
Christmas. That is a decided adj
vantage and makes for expedition.
Government Ship Bill.
The most important matter of gen
eral legislation will probably be th0
purchase of merchant ships by the
government. President Wilson has
announced his intention TO demand
this bill as a measure for Vltallzlng
our merchant marine. His success
in obtaining it from this crowded
session of Congress Will indicate the
virility of his leadership. Republ-
cans are freely predicting the bill
cannot pass An impartial interior
ence at this time would be that it
will fail for want of time to tight
it through the Senate. But the
president has overcome with Con-
gress greater obstacles than loom in
the way of this shipping bill. There
is pending much general Legislation,
that has passed one house or the
other. 1t is a safe statement that
little or none of this will pass I'M
less championed by the president.
The immigration bill, which is
through the House and on the Sen
ate calendar, will probably fall pc
cause the president is not urging its
passage.
Gardner's Resolution.
Industry at two House committee
rooms is a noteworthy feature OF
opening days at the capitol. 1t be-
speaks the general, not to say pont-
cal. interest in the question OF men
ind guns for the national deIense'

Representative Gardeners resolution
for an investigation to study the mat
ter of preparedness can be closely
associated with the activity of the
naval affairs committee and of the
military affairs committee. First of
all, perhaps, it might be said there
are doubts, both republican and dem
ocratic, about the sincerity of the
Gardner resolution. The Massaehu-
sets member enjoys the limelight as
well as other politicians, but be that
as it may, opinion runs at the capt.
toll unfavorable to the inquiry Mr..
Gardner wants He would bring
here numerous ex-cabinet officials
under republican administrations
and apparently would attempt, to
discredit Secretary of the Navy DAN
iels and Secretary of War Garrison.
Nevertheless, the topic is a popu-
lar one and Senator Lodges recent
appeal for the hearings and to let
the people know the exact state of
affairs is plausible. Accordingly,
the democrats must handle military
preparedness tactfully The data
about army and navy are available
at the capitol Committeeman know
what the situation is They have
printed hearings galore but these
hearings have been conducted under
circumstances that aroused no pub
lie interest. For several days, both
these committees have had hearings
with some of the best experts in the
departments on the stand. And
these hearings will continue for
some time. Secretary Daniels will
be called before long and so will
Secretary Garrison.
Defence Is Ready.
Whether the Gardner resolution
and the Lodge resolution of like
import, are suppressed in commit
tee or otherwise, debates on mill
tary preparedness there will be.
Field days of discussion in both
houses cannot be avoided. If hear
ings are denied Mr.. Gardner before
the rules committee, he will seek
early opportunity to express his dis
appointment before the House. Rep
resentative Swagar Sherley of Ken
lucky has already been designated
to meet verbal assaults on the army
and navy. He is arming himself
for the combat. Sherley is a good
debater and chairman of the sub
committee that prepares the annual
Notifications bill. The Senate will
have much military discussion. MI.

Weeks of Massachusetts,, who is cred
tied with little sympathy for the
Gardner resolution, expects to talk
on military reserves before the week
is over. It is a speech he prepared
last session, but did not deliver be-
cause he thought the time inoppor-
tune. Senator Weeks is a graduate
of Annapolis and, perhaps the best
authority in the Senate on military
matters, and his remarks promise
to be of some moment.
