An Extra Session.

Would the President be justified
in calling an extra session to pass
ship purchase bill? Why so? The
country has not demanded such a
measure, and his party is now angri1y
divided on the proposition. There
would be no assurance of success a
month or two later for what had
now failed. The republicans would
still be united in opposition and the
democrats still divided. Only Mr..
Camden of the protesting democratic
senators retires from Office next
month.
In effect, therefore, the President
would simply call flibuster. Form
al resistance would again be made,
with the opposition in better shape
than now. The democrats will be
stronger in the Senate after March
4. but their strength in the House will
be greatly reduced.
There is no question. however, as
to what should be done-what must
be done-if the large appropriation
bills fail. An extra session will be
imperative. Uncle Sam does not live
by bread alone, but he must have
bread. He could not live without it.
And, as he is a large and healthy
person, he must have square meals.
Only three weeks of the session
remain, and at least two of them
should be given to two of the supply
bills by the Senate if in case the de-
cision is to lay aside the ship bill
those bills are taken up. What, then,
as to the other supply bills1 Would
week be sufficient divided among
all of them?
As for the river and tlarbor bill,
that cannot in any circumstances
pass in its present shape. Even with
a reasonably clear field, as much as
might be expected would be a
draw" similar to that registered at
the last session-a lump sum to pre-
vent the deterioration of works al
ready in course of construction.
Every item even family smelling or
smacking of pork" would have to
be abandoned.
If there is to be an extra session,
then-and one seems not only in
evitable but advisable-it should be
called on the supply bills. They are
far too important this year to be
crowded through under whip and
spur. There is legitimate debate in
plenty in all of them, and days of it
on the subject of the glaring de-
ficiencies of our national defense, if
VIC have anything at all altogether
worthy of that name.
Between March 4 and the begin
ming of real summer are at least
three months and a half. The time
could be most proftably spent by
the new Congress in this town min
istering to the affairs of the coun-
try, and providing against emer-
gencies that may arise any day in
the present worldwide turmoil.

to the national convention Mr.. Clark
led Mr.. Wilson handsomely, and
would have been nominated but for
reasons we'll known. But after the
convention all Clark men under Mr.
Clark's urging became Wilson men,
and helped win the victory at the
polls over the bull moosers and the
republicans.
Today, therefore, all democrats, re-
specting 1916, are supposed to be
Wilson men. If there is division in
the party on that point this pro-
posed movement will not heal it, and if
it is not healed, goodbye to all hope
of democratic success next year. For
if Mr.. Wilson has to fight for re-
nomination, the prize, after the win
ming, will not be worth baubee.
And if he should lose. the prize would
not be worth baubee to the win
ner.
Take a chapter of history. Gen.
Harrison-one of the best Presi-
dents the country has ever had-was
forced to fight for his second nomi-
nation, and failed at the polls. The
republicans who had fought him be-
fore the national convention sulked
afterward, and Mr.. Cleveland was an
easy winner.
So next year for the democrats.
Such discomfort as would prevent
Mr. Wilson's denomination by accla-
nation would threaten, almost in
sure, sulking afterward, and the re-
east. west or middle territory, would
have walkaway. Unless united
next year the democrats are certain
to fall, and they may fall even if
united.

The Consumers Bread Test.

The advice given by Superintendent
Sherman that householders provide
themselves with scales on which to
weigh their bread loaves in order to
ascertain whether they are getting
full value is excellent and should be
generally followed. In the absence
of any legal standard of bread weight
there is a possibility that bakers here
as elsewhere may skimp the loaves
on account of the high price of wheat
and flour. Some bakers may cut the
loaves more than others. Some, in
order to gain and hold trade, may
make no reductions. An accurate
scale can be bought for a small sum
and with this as guide the consumer
can, determine what to buy in order
to get the greatest value for his
money. In general, wider use OF
scales by householders is advisable,
as it interposes a check upon pro-
visioners, who are always exposed to
the temptation to cut the weights.

The Alley Problem,

In his address Saturday morning
before the Federation OF Women's
Clubs Representative Borland mani
tested not only deep interest in the
local alley housing problem, but a
practical knowledge of conditions.
He holds. as The Star has often con-
tended, that slum clearance is not the
real remedy for the evils of alley
dwelling but that constructive enter
prise is necessary. Homes must be
furnished for the alley dwellers, at
rates within their means. Unaided
private enterprise, Mr.. Borland
holds. will probably not adequately
supply the demand for decent, cheap
dwellings, and he advocates assist
anoe from the public funds, under
conditions that will insure security
for the lender and will yield a rea-
sonable return of moderate profit to
the borrower. Postponement of leg
islation aimed at the correction of
the local alley evil only adds to its
difficulty. The earnestness which Mr..
Borland. one of therno active of
the Districts lawmakers, displays in
respect to this question is an en-
couraging indication of disposition

work out law under which proper
provision can be made for the hous-

Between the MilIstones.

The United States is just at present
in the position of being injured BY
both Great Britain and Germany, in
their war maneuvers Great Britain
flies our flag on her merchant ships
as right of se1f-protection. and on
the basis of that action Germany
threatens to sink all ships bearing
our flag on the ground of not know
ing a neutral from an enemy vessel
This country is thus placed between
the mi11stones. in the reta1iatory
measures of the two contestants. The
joint effect of these measures is to
render American shipping subject to
dangers to which it should not right
fully be exposed. and in such circum-
stances we as a nation of shippers
may be compelled in avoiding en-
tanglement in the war to wash our
hands of Europe and turn our atten-
tion to South America and the orient.
We have an undeniable right to
trade under strict limitations with
belligerents and freely with neutra1s.
1t is decidedly to our interest, both
commercially and politically, to be
strictly neutral as between the coun-
tries now at war There are two ways
IN which we can manifest our neutral
ity; we can deal with both sides i'm
partially as far as actual conditions
permit. or we can stop dealing with
both. The first way does a minimum
of injury to our commerce, and the
second way maximum of injury.
If through their mutual reprisals
and retaliatory measures the two
principal combatants in effect Join
IN hostilities against American COM
merce we may in seif-defense have to
declare an embargo upon all trade
with them and their allies and turn
our attention to the rest of the
world. Or we may be compelled to
join in the war by exposing our ship
ping and the lives of our people to
risk of destruction.
Each of the hostile powers is to-
day, as practical result of the
blockade and the use of our flag,
pushing the other on to acts of hos
tility toward us, and in se1f-defense
we are now compelled to protest to
both. to England against the misuse
Of our flag at sea and to Germany for
threatening to sink our ships by mis-
take for British.
