Congress-.

There is expectation that We shall
soon know the Presidents purpose
respecting an extra session of Con-
gress. He has been busy man at
Cornish. and will be busy when he
returns here. about matters that vii.
demand legislative attention.
The democratic party is divided on
this matter. Some men standing
close to the White House think De
cember will be soon enough for Con-
gress to meet. While they realize
that the body will have a good deal
of business to transact, and confess
to a desire to get away early next
year for campaign purposes, they
fear that should an extra session be
called pressing business would be
shunted for political debate and no
legislative progress made.
Those who favor an earlier day de-
clare that whether Congress meets
in October or December a good deal
of political debate will take place,
and that the sooner it is over the
better. Why delay the inevitable?
Undoubtedly the session, whenever
it begins. will show political maneu-
vering. The democrats want to hold
power, the republicans to regain
power Since March, 1913, there has
been much doing. As to the value of
it the parties differ widely. The re-
publicans will attack, the democrats
must defend
But other than political debate-or
rather debate for other than
partisan ends-will be in order and
will take place. The one question of
an adequate national defense will
alone require much explanation, and
should be made entirely clear, not
only to Congress, but to the country
There is wide agreement that both
our land and sea defenses should be
strengthened, but the provisions
made in answer to this sentiment
should carry the fullest explanations,
so that the people may know the
value of the action taken.
All this is predicated on the
proposition that we continue to keep
out of the European war and do not
become involved in Mexico. If for
eign questions supplant domestic
questions, then no man may say what
the session may show in the way of
either debate or action. A situation
would be created making it advisable
for Congress to remain in session
during the emergency, and giving to
the presidential campaign twist
which would tax the experts in both
parties to deal with.
These are very uncertain times !;
and there are all sorts of guesses
about what the President has in mind
and what Congress will do when it
takes up its burden.

Carranza and Villa are each willing
to consider a process of elimination,
in the hope that it will eventually
work out to apply only to the other.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-10

The statement that Villa could at
any time have had military confer
ence with Carranza generals indicates
that a flag of truce has more stand
ing among Mexican leaders than was
commonly supposed.

AS result of this confusion the state
of Wisconsin annually is ''f1im-flamed'
out of $4,000 in bounties under the
law which provides for the payment of
bounties for certain scalps.
L. B. Nagler, assistant secretary of
state, informed the house committee
on state affairs that the state is losing
much money in the payment of boun-
ties on fake" scalps, and he spoke in
favor of bill to abolish the county
idea.
A certain county clerk recently paid
out $40 for thirteen wolf" scalps.
An expert found the clerk had paid
for the scalp of one coyote, two red
fox, one black squirrel, one fox SOUR
