noticeable as you might imagine, for
the reason that the nightdress itself
Is made of the faintest fesh-pink

the naked eye!

7W0 Disgrunted Representatives

Two members of the present House are quoted
as tired of their job, and as resolved to return TO
private life at the expiration of their terms.
Mr.. Metz of Move York puts his case in this way:
well, l don't think / will go back again. l will
not be a rubber stamp for any man and l don't think
you have much of a show down in Washington I'M
less you are a southerner."
Mr.. Whitacre Of Ohio makes this confession:
"All I've done since I've been down in Washing
ton has been to sit around and try to look wise, and
that's what any man has to do who isn't willing to
barter his convictions for political expediency."
The New Yorker refers probably to the attitude
Of this Congress toward the President, which has
been criticized, though not openly by a number of
Democrats. The term, rubber stamp" is often heard
behind the hand. Still, there Is the question of leader
and follower, and Mr.. Wilson claims to be the leader
OF the party. AS to the power Of the south in the
House, that has been l%egitimately acquired, and
there. is no evidence of its exercise for sectional
ends. If most of the principal chairmanships arc
held by southern men, it is because, through length
Of service, they are the best qualified for the posts.
If the Buckeye member has succeeded in looking
wise he should not regret or minimize the accom-
pfshment. 1t is something. Not every member
achieves it., AS for expediency, it is a mighty nee
essary thing in this vale of tears, whether one is in
politics or not. There are times when to reject it

expediency and compromise does little, and often oh.
structs good work cut out by Others.
Both Mr.. Metz and Mr.. Whiteacre should revise
their Judgments. Things are not in the shape they
imagine. Mr.. Wilson holds a tight rein and drives
hard but is not above expediency or compromise.
He wanted the tariff bill as originally passed by the
House, but Wisely accepted the changes made by
the Senate. He would have signed the currency bill
as it was first reported to the House by Mr.. Glass,
but gave his signature to the improvements made
by the Senate. He took his medicine like a little
man. He did not dodge in either case.
So that Congress-, although yielding much to Mr..
Wilson, is nj. justly described as his rubber stamp.
If any Democratic member of the House wants to
assert himself at any time on any subject he has
only to emulate the spirit shown in the Senate. He
may not get what he wants, but will have the salts.
faction of Saying his say
The main point has been happily described by Mr..
Wilson as team work." That must be considered b.
all Democrats, both in Congress and out. The party
Is in full control, and will stand or fall on the rec
ord. Both the next Congress and the next Presidency
are In the balance, and as neither expediency nor
compromise can be dispensed with, both will be in
use right along.

Jewellers RESCUE 70
Terrified CHILDREN

Chicago, Jan5.-More than 70 chill
dren appeared in night clothes, Or
wrapped in blankets, on the many fi-e
escape landings of the tenement at
200 West One Hundred and Fifty
fourth street, New York.
Smoke was pouring from all the
windows. The children were crying
for help and creams of frightened
mothers rose above theirs.
A group of eight men waiting for q
car at the corner constituted them
selves a band of rescuers. They went
up through the choking smoke and
carried out all the little ones. They
also aided many adults to the street.
When fremen came they exttn-
guished q small fire in the dumb
waiter shaft without much trouble.
The peril lay in the possibility OF
panic.

The REGULAR Session

Congress reassembles January II. If the session
lasts SIX months the middle Of July will be reached.
Can the table be cleared in shorter time?
Something will depend on the effects of the new
tariff law and the new currency law. If both work
well, and business speedily revives under them, the
administration will continue to enjoy great prestige
with Congress, and the Presidents wishes to be
greatly deferred to-. He will get what he wants, and
practically determine what shall and shall not be
taken up. The session will end on his order.
But if business continues depressed; if the Under
wood law does not start manufacturing wheels now
stopped, to revolving again, or keep in motion those
now revolving; if the Glass-Owen currency measure
does not produce the confidence that has been prom
ised and vowed in its name, then the administration
will lose prestige with Congress-. and Congress,
thrown upon its own resources, may lose confidence
in itself, and legislative matters fall into SKIES and
seyens.
Regardless Of its length, the session is going to
be the most interesting for many years., and for many
reasons. The change of party control comes at a time
when big questions are in the balance. What is IAN
adequate navy?' judged by what suggestions about
Japan, and Mexico, and the Philippine Islands, and
the Monroe Doctrine, and the Panama canal have de-
veloped in the way of popular sentiment? and what.
if anything, should be done to put the army into
shape to correspond with the navy?
Then the p%ostmaste general has presented a prop
osition which, if pressed, will fill some space. He
may not press it at this session. The President has
not committed himself, and may not soon. But it is
very plain that if the government is to enter the
field as owner and operator of public utilities, begin.
ming with the telephone lines, much will be ~"sayable'
on the general subject and Congress will insist on q
full SAY"
And Secretary Lane now submits some views on
conservation which should arrest attention, and pro.
duce some sort of legislation.
Look our for a record-breaking circulation of the
Congressional Record while this session lasts. A
much ridiculed and undervalued publication by those
unacquainted with its charm; full of matter at all
times, and deserving the attention of the studious
and the patient, it is destined, for probably half a
year to come, to escape rating among the best sellers
only for the reason that so many copies are given
away in an effort to familiarize the people with what
is going on at this beloved capital in their worthy
Observation-Disclosures Star.
