New York Herald: Never has the
Presidents breadth of view, his com
prehensive craftsmanship, been more
clearly revealed than in his terse,
ringing, admirable address to Con-
gress. Sweeping aside all such
senseless surplusage as platform dec
larations" and party faith" with a
clarity that leaves nothing to becloud
the simple logic of his argument, he
shows where the plain duty of Con-
gress lies. His reasons for holding
that the exemption clause should be
repealed are convincing as they are
complete. No ground for controversy
remains.

New York World: He might easily
have used more words, but he could
not at any length have conveyed to
his hearers more solemnly the gravity
of the issues involved. How, then, are
we to explain the attitude of so many
Democrats who are faithless alike to
the principles of their party and to
the honor of the republic, as pledged
in treaties? Have they surrendered
to the ship-subsidy lobby? Have the
successors of Pacific Mail and NJ. A.
Hanna been able at last to present
their arguments in so persuasive a
form that the new Democracy, or a
considerable section of it, has been
led astray? The President entreats
his fellow-partisans to respect treaty
and to have regard for the grave diff
culties that confront him. Is 1t posi-
BILE that the plea of Lewis Nixon, ship
builder, ship subsidyist, ship lobbyist,
will be more powerful than the plea of
the President of the United States?

New York Times: But the matter
is not in its essence merely party
matter, though 1t deeply involves the
honor of the Democracy, which 1t is
the duty of Mr.. Wilson, as the author
ICED leader of the party, to preserve,
or, in this instance, to restore. In
this appeal he speaks for the Ameri-
can nation. He speaks as the latest
of a long line of Presidents, who,
however they may have differed in
party views and aims, have steadfast-

Chicago Tribune: 1t is one of the
most impressive utterances from the
executive in many years. Not only its
exceptional gravity of tone-to which
its brevity adds rather than detracts-
but its studious care in phrase must
impress the nation with the serious
ness of the tolls issue in itself and
in it's implications. The Presidents
message on toll exemption, if not
needed, will mark an ominous turn
ing point in our history.

district. 1t wants real work done by the
man it has elected.
President Wilson has recognized and en-
bodied in his course of action that very
thought. Last summer Congress halfway
made up its mind that it would adjourn
about August 1; but the President found
things for it to do. The same thing hap
pened in regard to September 1. There
were conferences at the White House be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and the House and Sen
ate leaders-and Congress stayed on.
"We want to go home and get the voters
together for November 3, some of the inn
patient ones said.
"If this Congress goes home with its work
only half done, was the gist of the Presi-
dent s remarks, at may never be sent back
here by the voters"
THE Westerner who put in the thirteen
hour day regretted that he had not
sufficient time to get up speech-which
brings us to consideration of speeches in
general in Congress- So far as the affect
ing or changing of votes on the floor OF the
House is concerned, speeches, particularly
set speeches, are of no avail whatever. The
new Congressman, chosen in the elections
this fall, is grievously mistaken if he in
tends to rush into Washington and turn
things upside down by means of oratory,
eloquence, and picturesque vocabulary. 1t
cannot be done. The place where legisla-
ton is effected is in the committee room,
and the way in which votes are lined up is
through party councils and by framing bills
so as to meet the support of majority of
the men in Congress.
Speeches that are made on the floor of the
House are delivered as a rule for one of
these three reasons: Q) as an explanation of
why the committee in charge of certain
bill put it into its final shape; (2) as dem
onstration to the voters at home that their
Congressman followed the proper course in
his vote and work; 81 for the purpose of
manufacturing political thunder against the
opposing party. If a man can make a witty
or entertaining or interesting speech, all
well and good. He wins the privilege of
speaking to his fellows instead of to empty
benches But he knows that not once in
hundred times does speech change a vote,
and that the ultimate result has been de-
termined already through conferences, prom
ises, compromises, the wishes of the people

THE VALLEY OF FEAR
Continued from page IL

They spent a hilarious night, without an
morning.
NOR had they cause, as the result was to
show. The magistrate could not pos
sibly, on the evidence, have held them for
higher court. On the one hand the COM
positors and pressmen were forced to admit
that the light was uncertain, that they were
themselves much perturbed, and that it was
difficult for them to swear to the identity
of the assailants; although they believed
that the accused were among them. Cross
examined by the clever attorney who had
been engaged by McGinty, they were even
more nebulous in their evidence.
The injured man had already deposed
that he was so taken by surprise by the sud-
denness of the attack that he could state
nothing beyond the fact that the first man
who struck him wore mustache. He added
that he knew them to be Scowrers, since no
one else in the community could possibly
have any enmity to him, and he had long
been threatened on account of his outspoken
editorials. On the other hand, it was clearly
shown by the united and unfaltering evil
dence of six citizens, including that high
municipal official, Councillor McGinty, that
the men had been at card party at the
Union House until an hour very much later
than the commission of the outrage.
Needless to say that they were discharged
with something very near to an apology
from the bench for the inconvenience to
which they had been put, together with an
implied censure of Captain Marvin and the
police for their officious zeal.
The verdict was greeted with loud ap-
plause by court in which McMurdo saw
many familiar faces. Brothers of the lodge
smiled and waved. But there were others
who sat with compressed lips and brooding
eyes as the men filed out of the dock One
of them, little, dark-bearded, resolute fel-
low, put the thoughts of himself and COM
rades into words as the ex-prisoners passed
him.

Consequently speech making and oratory
are as general rule the ornamental things
in a Congressman career. His achieve
ments and his length of service are built on
the foundation of hard, dry, often tedious,
work in the committee rooms, and vlgllant
service Of his district in every way possible.
60 much for the individual legislator As
~ regards Congress, taken in the bulk, it
has more to do now, and it is going to have
more to do in the future, than ever was the
case before. Take the railroads: Whenever
there is demand for legislation affecting
them, whether it is supposedly for their
benefit or really to their disadvantage, the
law-making body has to find out enough
about railroads to be sure that what is good
for the Rocky Mountain roads is good for
those which wind through the swampy
reaches of the South, whether the public in
New England can be satisfied by laws that
an apparently endless list of problems, varied
conditions, and different demands.
1t is still fresh in everybody's mind that,
when the European war almost put an end
to our imports, and when the House began
to look around for things to tax for the
needed revenue, the interests threatened
with the extra taxation hurried to Washing
ton to demonstrate that the proposed meas
ure would put them out of business. In a
land teening with every conceivable indus
try and business it was titanic job to de-
eide whence the money was to come.
1t demonstrates that the men who contem-
plate any law touching the public must put
in weeks and months of labor in order to as
sure themselves that they can do justice to
all and work hardship upon none. Above
all, it is patent reason for the belief among
politicians that Congress can do its work
only by staying on the job all the time.
Legislating for se,0ooOo0 people is indeed
complicated business.
And, while the needs Of the country at
large grow and become more and more di-
versi6ed, the same thing happens with the
individual the national life is merely
the reflex of the individuals development
and growth. That IS why the Congressman
who wants to hold down his job in credit
able manner finds himself carrying burden
of work that is doubly increased.
