conrres, in a Merry Mood

men that congregated under the dome at Wash
ington yesterday and waited the click OF the
gavel to call them TO organized work a. mem
bers OF congress- Some who answered the roll
call on adjournment day In July we're missing.
and others still bore signs OF Commissions and
echymosses. reminders Of past turmoil in the
legislative halls but all who joined in the first
session we're feeling good. 80 far az outward APP
pearances afford proof. The caucus had planned
the program, which contained nothing contro-
versial, beyond the registration Of the majority
and minority preferences for officers, and this
was perfunctorily formal. The way IL now open
for the president to make his address, and when
this is over the real business Of the session may
be started
The spirit of the gathering was made the
more congenial by the presence Of some notable
"come-backs." among them uncle joe Cannon
and Mick" Longworth, whose emergence from
temporary obscurity adds to the general interest
that Will surround the present session. vic"
Murdock's orifamme eliminates the trenches
abroad, thus preventing the rivalry that might
be expected between the peppery Kansan and
the virile member from the Danviile district.
But the session will not be without spice on this
account, and some lively Tits may be expected
before spring.

Plainly Short Of Prospsctn,.

Because OF the number OF conversions OF
national banks into state banks in Nebraska
aud of the further fact that this movement,
most noticeable at the time the federal reserve
law became effective, Is continuing even now,
is taken by our democratic senator's personal
organ TO mean that the lack OF a similar guar
anty fund is the weak spot in the new national
bank law. Our Nebraska deposit guaranty has
done tolerably we'll, whether because Il has had
no severe strain since its Inauguration OF be-
cause OF intrinsic merit, is yet to be proved.
There lie no question that the character Of
banking IA Nebraska has materially improved
since the days OF the numerous bank failures,
and that the risk covered by the insurance fund
IL probably less hazardous than In most lines OF
business. Regardless of this however we VEN
ture the opinion, based on observation and re-
port, that the gain OF the state banking system
at the expense Of the national banking system
is not specially because Of the guaranty feature.
but in spite OF II, and that II this feature were
present in both, or absent from both, the num-
Der of conversions would be still larger.
Our democratic friends may as we'll admit
that the new reserve banks, tested by actual
operation. do not measure anywhere near up to
prospectus, and that the benefits so far accrued
are slight as compared with the huge cost OF this
newly created machinery, TO say nothing of the
inexcusable partisanship and favorltism In the
arrangement OF the districts and the location OF
the reserve bank cities In reckless disregard OF
the natural currents OF commerce. The very fact
that national banks are giving up their charters,
and those that hold their charters make such
little use of the reserve banks. Is the strongest
evidence possible that the law does not do what
was promised.

The withdrawal OF Ernest Thompson Seton

Demserstte ECONOMY.

FORK Neb.. Dec. a-To the Editor Of
the Bee; I see by the press reports that
we are to have economy in the Affairs
OF the government at Washington. That
Is. we have the promise OF IL. but when
we read the Baltimore platform we find
IN that bundle OF promises that were
made to be kept" just as fine sounding
taffy keis as the donkey organ holds,
and were played by the same bunch for
the same purpose, just to catch votes.
Tho party then in power was black
listed for It's prodigality with the
peoples money. wrung from them by
excessive taxation"
1t comes TO me now like an echo, that
something was said once on a time
about billion dollar congress, run by
q billion dollar party, until the great
need OF this country was to return to
democratic simplicity. Well, the great
common people game them the chance to
show their hand at making good. They
began BY pulling off the most expensive,
the most gaudy show at the coronation
OF Woodrow that has ever been pulled
off In this country. Then when their
congress got busy at keeping its pledges
to the people. they cut the income of
the government in two and spent over
q hundred million more5 than any con-
gress ever had done before, not SEEM
ing to realise that a small income and Q
large outgo would find the bottom of
the strong box sooner or later But
when the fact finally soaked through
they put on a couple more direct taxes.
and yet they are running behind seven
to ten million per month after they have
been drawing on those bonds that were
voted for building the Panama canal
(which may ell be needed there IL those
slides keep up); stili we run behind; then
they talk OF an extra half billion en-
penso for preparedness, after making
two campaigns against the imperial tend
encies OF the a. o. p. that they said
was apeing the royalty OF Europe.
Now, as convention time comes on
apace. the word goes out we are going
to economist. So they cut down the
help IN the postal service and create &
few hundred more commissions TO give
q few deserving democrats a soft seat
at the pie counter. and call II economy.
Now, the regular order of congressional
business is ordered "cut to the bone;
even then It cannot be touched until my
plan for preparedness Is acted on first.
What want to b shown IL where dc
they see the new danger. as every biz
nation In Europe Is now In all the wal
they Will want for awhile. or can pay
for either. So why not jog along about
as the q. o. p. was doing without swing
ing from one extreme to the other like
the pendulum OF q elock-it Is that OF

they have only held three national con-
ventions In sixty years before the re
pubiicans held theirs. 90 they can say

One Of the really serious problems OF the
war, oyershadowed to some degree by the more
spectacular operations OF the forces In the field,
has been the industrial unrest that has accom-
panied the work OF providing for the armies.
Each OF the European countries has had and Is
having It's experience with the recalcitrant work
men, and this country has witnessed number OF
manifestations OF the disturbed state of mind
that prevails among the workers. The present
plight Of the great ocean freighter. the Mime
sofa, is another proof that one disseminated or
determined man may easily disable q vessel. The
direct aetionist" has here ample opportunity for
the exemplifcation Of his peculiar theories.
Bomb plots. chemicals in coal bunkers, concealed
combustibies in closed holds. and other forms OF
destruction are all parts OF the activity Of these
men, Not all the mischief that is being done to
shipping Is In pursuit OF patriotic devotion, al
though this Is being used as cloak for the
action of men with more sinister inspiration than
love OF country. The war has loosed the dark
est Of mans passions and opened the way for
the expression OF his worst impulses. Much Of
the present difficulty in getting ships safely from
port to port Is due 20 the desire 20 spread the
terror" on which rests the vain hope Of the
anarchist.

Also that in its crippled condition It
