We invite the attention of the Re publican Congressman who have been blocking the Administration vigorous efforts to befriend commerce and in- dustry in the European war crisis to the following paragraph in the Boston Advertiser, a Republican paper:
 We regret that We have heard hints from Washington, in the past few days, to the effect that some ambi-
 tious but not unusually gifted Re- publican Congressman have made
 their plans to fight the administration bill, and to expose some of it's 'glaring blunders.' Our friendly advice to such marplots would be to consult their own constituents first. We be-
 lieve that the popular demand for an immediate outlet and avenue to new markets for American goods, and for new routes of supply to this country, in such products as the United States now lacks, because of the war of the nations, is practically irresistible. Any Congressman who for purely partisan reasons attempts to block the plans of the administration, will probably emerge from his popular chastisement a wiser if a sadder man."
