Last Leg of ixty-Third Congress
Began at Washington Today

appropriation DlllS.
The most dangerous Of the imme-
diately imminent complications is the
cotton legislation While there is
no chance of any very radical legis-
lation being passed, this temper be-
ing clearly shown by both house and
senate just prior to the adjournment,
Democratic leaders feared today tina;
the southerners who have been MAX
ing the most noise about the cotton
problem will not regard, their work
rs completed to the satisfaction of
their constituents unless they make
a large number OF speeches.
The difficulty of choking these off
lies in the fact that this can only be
done in bringing in rule insuring j
a vote without more than certain
number of hours debate. And the
chairman Of the Rules committee is
Representative Robert Henry of
Texas, acknowledgedly the leader of
the protection legislation group
There are several bills for the re-
lief of the cotton growers, however.
One Of these is the bill providing for
the licensing of cotton warehouses,
and their inspection. This bill pa S.
ed the senate, with a number of
amendments, so that it included not
only cotton, but grain, tobacco, naval
stores, canned salmon, and several
other products.
The other piece OF cotton legsla-
ton which apparently will be passed
without trouble consists of amend
ment to the Federal Reserve act One
Of these permits member banks 10
keep all OF their reserves in the re-
gional banks, and the other permits
! the issuance of the equivalent of 100
per cent of the unimpaired capital
and surplus of the bank in emergen-
cy currency. instead of only 80 per
! cent under the present law.
J Then there is the conversation pro-
, gram in its many phases
Fights were also expected today to
occur during this secession on three
"porkbarrel' bills, the rivers and
harbors, the public buildings, and the
good roads bill.

Vice President Marshall's light tap

met today for the short session
which will end March 4, 1915.
This short session will be the last
one OF the sixty-third congress, a con-
grcss that will go down in history as
one which worked almost the entire
two years OF its existence (only one
six week recess except the Christmas
vacations) and as one which put
through number of bills which will
effect the country, in all probability,
for generations.
The program that must be carried
out is the passage OF the appropria-
tion bills. These must be passed,
and every short session of congress
in the past has found difficulty in
passing them. But no congress in
the past which has gotten them
through successfully has had 50 many
perplexing complications which

IT'S TIME TO PAINT.

One of the many to whom the aes-
thetic takes off his hat is the paint
man. If there is any one class of
business which comes more nearly
being benefactor than the man who
sells paint, 1t is the mechanic who
spreads it. Inside or out, the sign Of
fresh paint is a sign of cleanliness
and health; it gives new smell, a
new appearance and even a new taste
to things. Outside 1t kills rot, and
inside 1t kills germs. On topit spares
leaks and at the bottom II keeps out
the damp, A clean, freshly painted
town spells progress and taste and
wealth.
or course the paint man and the
painter are not the whole show"
Sambo with his whitewash brush is
entitled to credit; the man-of-all-
work with his pitch bucket helps out;
the scrub woman with her lye and her
soap and her mop comes in for lot
of credit. But we're for the man who
paints, Just the same.

TROUBLES OF MIR. FORD.

The fact that Mr.. Ford is to grad
ually lay off factory hands until the
number of 5000 will be without en-
ployment for time has attracted
several times as much attention as
similar action by numerous employ
ers of the country. Word comes from
Washington that the federal govern
ment is to begin an inquiry into
causes. Whether Haman's gallows is
to be used or not only the results of
the inquiry will determine. The man
agement announces that the retrench-
ment is due to slack business and the
cause assigned for such slackness is
reasonable on its face. 1t is explained
that the operation of the factory con-
tinuously night and day, in three
eight-hour shifts, enabled it to fill all
orders. 1t is not customary for fac
tories to accumulate a great surplus
of products and store the same.
When the surplus has been disposed
of abroad at reduced prices in com
petition with foreign goods it has
given rise to charge that American
customers were being robbed. Every
tariff campaign has been enlivened
with discussions of this practice.

RISE AND DECLINE OF TRADE,

Gibbon wrote a famous history on
the Decline and fall of the Roman
Empire" In the power and pride of
Rome on the ascending scale, few
would have thought ruin possible
Similarly in many well-established
business houses there are the seeds
. of decay.
The merchants of any community
range themselves into two classes.
There are those who have an estab-
lished trade, great or small. Some
of them think they can now live on
the fruits of their past efforts. All
they have to do is to sit still and
their regular customers will come
around and buy their goods.
But population changes more rap
idly than 1t used to. Few people send
out roots deep into any soil. Death
claims it's share, Any given body of
people, accustomed to buying goods
in some one place, will be cut in two
by death and removal in five years.
The older people who bought
goods regularly at one store were al
most ashamed to be seen going into
another place. They felt as it it were
almost an act of disloyalty. Nova
days no one is tied up anywhere. All
go where the best bargains are Of
fered. Few places have any regularly
established thde that can be counted
on without persistent solicitation.
New customers must constantly be
sought to take the place of those that
drop out.
The other class of merchants are
those that are coming. In year, by
persistent efforts to tell the public
what they are doing, they build up
their own constituency. 1t is made
up not merely of the drifters and
floaters, but from wide-awake people
who are drawn fro less aggressive
and enterprising stores.
The business that does not adver-
tise is usually the business that is go
ing down. The business that advc;-
tises Is the business that Is coming
up.

REMOVING THE MYSTERY.

Mr.. Abbott of Chicago, in an ad-
dress to the Missouri Bankers Asso-
citation in session in ST. Louis, eX
pressed the opinion that the bankers
of the country should remove the
mystery taht has too long enveloped
banking. He is strong in the belief
ers as they are and understands their
purposes and the functions they per-
form, there will be less hostility No
doubt Mr.. Abbott is right as To the
bankers, and the same is true as &c
men of practically all other profess
sions and businesses. 1t is true uf
individuals, in or out of business.
The fact was put in attractive form
by a Missourian who devised a com-
mercial club slogan: Get acquainted
with your neighbor; you might like
him" Half the friction in the world
comes from misunderstanding
The day of mystery has passed.
Railway presidents have discovered
il. The public made up it's mini 10
find out things about railways Some
times its surmises were worse than
the facts. The leading railways of
the country now maintain depart
ments Of publicity and the facts are
no longer "doctored." The public
curiosity is keen and it is suspicious
of any lack of frankness. Manufac-
turers of drugs and articles of food
have noted this determination Of the
public. Packers have also been III sed
to speak. Even the physicians have
had to break the reticence OF long
habit. Courts have otter felt :m-
PEELED to write their decisions in Ian
guage comprehensive to the laity.
Newspapers have been compelled 10
file sworn statements as to their cir
culation and ownership. In short,
nothing can be done in a corne. any
more. Every institution Of a public
or quasi-public nature or depending
upon the public for patronage must
be ready at any time for pitiless pub
licity, and even the privacy of indi-
viduals is often invaded.
While there are many old-fash-
ioned folks who are often annoyed by
some of the aspects of the changed
condition of affairs, the change as n
whole will prove beneficial. There is
nothing more healthful than light.
No more significant dying words we're
ever uttered than those attributed to
Goethe, when he wrote with his hand
in the air, Light, More Light" The
Nazarene gave the reason for some
peoples preference 70" darkness.
There are few callings among men
that will not bear light The great
mass OF men engaged in every calling
should welcome publicity The few
whose dark practices cause them to
shun 1t are those who have given the
calling whatever bad reputation Il
may have Nothing will DO more to
bring a general recognition of the
brotherhood of man than perfect un-
derstanding, such as Mr.. Abbott urges
the bankers to establish with their
customers.

THE FACTS ARE STILL ALIVE.

Mr.. Mellen of the New Haven, on
the stand before the Interstate Com
merce Commission recalled those
French officers in the Dreyfus trial
who, whenever a particularly odious
thing in the conspiracy was brought
out, ascribed it to thet one of the
! conspirators who died before the trial
began. In law, one man cannot make
conspiracy, but the conspiracy
proved in the Dreyfus case showed a
dead man as the only one, and in the
case of the New Haven road, accord
ing to Mr.. Mellen, the late J. Pierpont
Morgan was about the only man in on
the deal for despoiling investors of
millions.
The Dreyfus conspiracy was proved
on the admitted facts, and the New
Haven conspiracy is being proved in
| the same way The fact that the man
is dead to whom all responsibility is
now imputed, cannot change the rec7
ord. Mr.. Mellen went into sickening
details of how he and other directors
in the West Chester deal were only
puppets of Mr.. Morgan. He told how
New Haven stockholders, protesting
to him at the expenditure of $11,000,-
600 of the company's cash for los
ing property, when told by him to
complain to Mr.. Morgan in person,
shrank in admitted fear from such an
ordeal There were several men in
the group, he said, who saw both the
danger and the crime, but they all
were afraid to speak. One man ter
rorized all of the others into an evil
partnership, and yet, in the varnacu-
lar of the world of high finance to
which they all belonged, they had all
long been known as strong men,"
1t is not necessary to think that
Mr.. Morgan was the only evil spirit
in the group to see the evil that was
done. THE evil men do lives after
them" Mr.. Morgan was the domi-
mating figure. He could set up and
pluck down men in the chief execu-
tive office of great railway lines in
which his banking houses could raise
a controlling voice through its repre-
sentation in stock and bond boards.
The story has not yet progressed far,
but it has progressed far enough to
show the vital necessity of that de-
gree of government regulation of rail
way securities which some capable
men at the head of solvent lines are
now saying is needed for their own
protection and that of the investing
public.
