"BREAKERS AHEAD"

Within the next week or ten days the Democratic leaders will meet in Washington to apportion the various committees. This work is the great trouble breeder of all Congresses and upon the shoulders of the leader us- ually rests all the stigma that at- taches to disappointment. But the Democrats will have it comparatively fairly well organized. They have a
 majority working basis and, under the unwritten law in this matter they will have two-thirds mem bership on all the committees. While the demo- cracy will sail over easy and un- troubled seas the republicans are go- ing to have stormy weather Just now, it is known, all the republican Congressmen are filing their app1i- cations for membership on the com mittees and Jim M ann, the minority leader is the one who is receiving all this correspondence. It looks as if the republicans are passing all their hopes on the wiry old fox of politics. But that is just what Jim Mann does not want. As matter of fact he is a potential candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States and, whatever hopes he may harbor in his manly breast will all be shattered if he incurs the wrath of his followers. This can be very easily done unless he gets them the appointments on the committees they are after. But the democrats will take care that no matter what MT. Mann wants he will not get more than his one-third share. And there is the situation in a nut shell. There is going to be some lively sentiment aroused when the an- nouncements are made. It is under

Instead of the Senate it is Congress that should be called in extra session; and instead of such minor matters as cloture and the treaties named the sole subject before both houscs should be national defense. @
 If the President would call Con- gress in session on October IS or November 1, valuable time would he saved in getting the plan under way for preparing the nation against pos- sible disaster. The question of na- tional defense IS a complicated one, involving the raising of a revenues. 1t cannot be disposed of offhand. If the work is to be done at all, 1t should be well and thoroughly done. The war in Europe has oponed Americans minds to the size and inl- portance of the problem of defense but opinions vary widely as to whai should be done. Weeks may be con- sumed in hearings before tho financo military and naval committees, after which the whole subject must be thrashed out in both branches of Congress.
 Congress would be doing remark ably rapid work if it should take up the task of providing funds for na- tional defense and dispose of it by the time the regular session begins. No ono familiar with the state of tho fi- nances expects that such rapid work can be accomplished. But a month or six weeks of preparation can doz much toward perfecting plan for rehabilitating the Treasury and pro- viding for extraordinary expenditures for defense.

New York's Bohemia.

(From the New York Sum-
 The decision of the Sailors Snug Harbor to forbid the sale of. liquor in any of the buildings on their pro- perty will make large section of the coast of Boh emia dry, for within the limits of the old Minto farm, which now comprises the Snug Harbor hold ings, New York's old Bohemia still has its stronghold. The course of fashion may travel northward' and the flower and feather trade may press close about the high lights of letters and the graphic arts, but Bohemla in its purest estate still Hourishes in the region about Wash ington square.
 And here the prohibition of the sailors Snug Harbor is most to be felt as its leases gradually run out. Hlther resort will some of the city's eplcures who are sufficiently in- terested in the pursuit of good cook ing to go afield in search of it. Here Tn former day was the historic Solar1 and in the present time there are the Lafayette and the Brevoort, both presided over by the genius of Raymond, which was developed when the Martin, now departed, made that quarter of the town an epicureah Mecca.
 Sometimes Bohemia, which is ever young, is to be found in there larger places, which are luckily preserved by leases valid for a decade more or less. So the drouth is not everywhere immediately immirsnt. But the prac- tical enforcement of the new provi- sion in the Sailors Snug Harbor leases will do more to alter the outline of Bohemia than any other other in- fuence which ever threatened the freedom of Washington square. It's coast line is certain to be radically changed as the leases of the res- taurants and other places of artistic resort expire without even the solnd of a drawn cork to celebrate tn cir last breath

Anthony Comstock.

For more than a third of a century the efforts of the late Anthony Com stock to suppress vice in its more Haunting forms have been fruitful of mirth to the paragraphers and comic sheets of a nation. Along with the most serious of battles undertaken against political corruption, instru- mental in the main in bringing to pass better conditions, the warfare waged by this doughty opponent of immoral books and lascivious dis plays in so-called art has been treat ed lightly to measurable degree by a naughty world.
 Yet with this all too-evident lack of sympathetic support for much of the time Comstock went on in perfect seriousness smiting the enemy on every hand and giving small quarter to the philistines who were loud in their denunciations of his more than puritanic zeal. In this fashion and with unremitting energy he fought until the end.
 While in obvious instances the crusade of Comstock and his support CTS was extended beyond the real limits of appropriate activity, the net results have been beneficial. If he and his kind erred in their endeavors they erred toward the side of safety. Whether they were effective to any pronounced degree in molding public opinion in regard to offensive matters in literature or art may be a debata- ble question. Possibly the healthy American mind would instinctively have rejected much that was offered, and thus have rendered unnecessary certain extreme militant phases of the endeavors of his society 'Et
 However this may be, those ac- quainted with the salacious prcsenta- tions met with in many foreign cs rts will not withhold their measure of tribute to the society for the aup- pression of vice for their earnest ef- forts to keep this country clean. In these efforts Comstock played a con- spicuous, even if at times a possibly too prominent and overzealous, part. With all that, the verdict will pe that his country is the better for his life work.

Congress Should Meet Early.
 (WaShington Post.)

Several senators have expressed the opinion that the Senate should be called in extra session to dispose of the CoIom bian and Nfcaraguan treaties and for other purposes Among other things, senators wish to bring up and dispose of the question of cloture in order that the projects of the majority may be forced through hereafter without long filibusters.

WELL DESERVED SUCCESS.

| l It is an ill will that blows no good. l And no matter how i'll the wind there l is always someone to garner their
 share of the good. For evidence,
 we present, < the case of y San
 Francisco and its mammoth fair. An | nouncement has come from that di- l rection that the debt incurred by the management of the fair has been
 wiped off the books, that the $1,2O0,- l 900 mortgage has been burned, and
 that there are great prospects of pay
 ing back to the city of San Francisco l the s5,0O0,O00 it donated and the l same amount advanced, gratis, by the state. Ali this prosperity is directly attributed to the present European War and it's effect upon American travel. Up to date more than fifteen
 million people have visited the expo
 sition, and that great spectacle has yet more than three months to do
 business. In the remaining time it
 is thought by those who should know that; the fair will have attained financial mark never before reached
 by any exposition in the world. Thus
 do. we see, exem p1ified the age old
 adage at the top of this commenta- tion;s While to be deplored by all
 human beings the world over, the
 war has at least brought its good to
 San Francisco. And no one will be- +grudge this flood of prosperity flow ing in through the. Golden Gate, For, if any city in the country needed the good wishes of the people of the United States it is San Francisco. It was not so very many years when that wonderful. city of the Western coast was almost completely demol- ished by earthquake and fire. And out of the ruins there has sprung newer and better San Francisco. The up building of California's famous stamping ground is matter of pride in engineering circles. Only the building of the Panama Canal stands as it's rival in work of this kind To and after the fire the wonderful ac- conplishnent is noticeable. The great change that has spread over the features of the city fills and thrills the heart of the old San Franciscan with somewhat of sorrow, for many of the land marks of other days have been obliterated, and the new has taken the place of the old But withal there is a sense of pride in what has been done, a feeling. tn at the entire United States of America took on new native sons in rebuilding their city. And this is true. Whenever the bad blows in on those proverbial ill winds and destroys an American city, there is not much time lost in re- building. San Francisco has indeed paved the way for this spirit of re- juvenation, so to speak, and for that she deserves great credit. This is why every American today will give thanks that the fair has been fnan- cial as well as a social success and that San Francisco has at last come into it's own. If the fair could be held open for thirteen more months, in- stead of the allotted three, there would be many more pilgrims from this section of the country who wouldi wend their way westward
