DATE OF CONVEYING
NEW CONGRESS

Every four years there is more OF
less discussion Of the desirability OF
changing the date Of inauguration
and the date Of converting a newly
elected Congress. We hold u cleo
ton early in November. but the Pres
ident does not take his office until
the 4th of March, or after a period
of about four months. The newly
elected Congress assumes its official
identity on the same day, but its first
regular session is not held until the
first Monday in December following,
so that. unless there be a special
session called, Congress does not
meet until 10 months after its cleo
ton.
There are many plausible argu-
ments in favor of the inauguration
of the new President and the hold
ing of the regular session of Con-
gress within a month or two after
election. Although a party or some
of its members in Congress were re-
pudiated at the polls last Tuesday, it
continues to enact laws for the en-
suing fiscal yea Even though a spe-
ciaI session of Congress might be
called Immediately after the fourth
of March, in case of a change an the
administration, yet the appropria-
tons and much general legislation
would have been enacted subsequent
to the election and prior to the inau-
guration.
1t is quite likely that some time we
shall change this plan, although
there is no urgent popular demand
for it at the present time. In the
earlier days of the government, when
all travel was on horseback or by
stage. and when it took a long time
to transmit communications. it was
desirable that considerable time
elapse between election and change
of administration. That reason no
longer exists and it would seem that
prompt compliance with the wishes
of the people, as indicated at the
polls, would call for a change in the
date of both Inauguration and the
holding of the first regular session
of Congress.

$780, 00. 900, while in the correspond
ing ten months under the influence
of wal orders exports of these same
commodities increased to $1,360,000,-
900. That was more than double the
exports in the preceding ten months
under the Democratic administration
free from the influence of war. That
same demand for our products at
enormous prices has continued for
two years and two months. Up to the
close of the campaign, the admins
tration was unwilling to expressly
admit the full effect of wal orders,
but now that nothing is to be lost by
giving the truth to the American peo-
pie for their guidance in shaping eco
nomic policies, perhaps the admins
traton will acknowledge the facts.

of the administration" was that they
were American enemies, for Mexicans
have at all times been engaged in a
conspiracy OF that sort. There would
be nothing new in any conspiracy
formed on the Mexican side Of the
border It became Immediately ap-
parent, however, that the American
people would not countenance a false
insinuation Of this kind against
American citizens, and, in response
to the storm of protest, Secretary
Baker finally explained that he did
not refer to Americans.
So far as its political Importance
is concerned, the incident is now
closed. From a governmental stand
point, however, the incident should
not be forgotten. If it is possible for
a member of the Presidents Cabinet,
and particularly the head of the War
Department, to issue statements
which carry the necessary inference
that American citizens are guilty of
treason, then no American citizen is
safe from unjust attack by the men
who are chosen and who are duly
sworn to support the laws of the
United States and protect its citizens.
Public condemnation of the state
ment issued by Secretary Baker
should be so strong and SO frequent
ly repeated that no other Secretary
of War and no other public official
viii ever dare again to so misuse
the power temporarily vested in him
as an officer of the government. I'm
der Republican administration no Of
fetal has ever ventured TO do this.
The matter. however, Is of far more
Importance than any party lines can
eircumscribe. The wrongful act
should be so severely rebuked that
no repetition will be possible from
any source.

Not Much as 0 y

When parents get discouraged over
the lack of study and the frequent &C.
centricities that their boys manifest,
or even over their physical misfor-
tunes or poverty, they ought to find
hope and consolation in the thought
that Isaac Watts was constantly
scolded for his absolute indifference to
books and boys sports; Charles Oar
win showed such an eccentric tend
ency to observation-disclosures that on
one of his lonely tramps he walked off
an embankment and nearly lost his
life; Ralph Waldo Emerson was a
hopeless dreamer; the great Demos
themes was a fearful stammerer; Abra-
ham Lincoln, Elihu Burritt, Charles
Dickens and Andrew Carnegie were
the poorest of poor children; Anthony
Trollope, the writer, was hopelessly
shy and the butt of his school; Audi
bon of bird fame was put down by all
his elders as a fool; Caesar and Ma
poleon were epileptics; Oliver Gold
smith was a hopeless sloven, and
Thoreau was adjudged by everyone
to be a crank. The queer boy does
not always grow to be a man of no
worth.-Selected.

HELP WANTED.

With prac ctically the entire Don1ln- ion of Canada buried knee deep in snow it seems far cry from that country to this for thirty thousand America ms to help harvest the wheat crop. This is preparedness in the extreme. There is no doubt that the harvest time will surely Wend it's way along the route of the calendar, that when this unprecedented winter pa sses the time for reapinS gain will make it's appearance. And because pra ctically all the harvest hands of Canada are busily engaged in moving down the enemy in Europe the Do minion will have need of many Amer jeans to serve on tho farms this SDrii7S and summer. Here then is a good chance for those young fellows who while on their vacations wish to set next to ma ature.

us that the side-partner, su to speak. oc the race horse. is the goat. Before an important race the goat is always kept in the same stall with the race horse, a sort of guardian of the night If anyone should get the goat away from the horse and thus leave the Speeder in solitude during the dark hours there would be little chance of winning the race the next day. Thus 1t is that men who have placed large sums of money, against any favorite in the betting always try to get the horses goat. This act destroys the mental equilibrium of the spirited animal and makes it possible for men to realize on their ga mhles It was from this simple method of winning money, says the Doctor, that one of our most famous expressions gained national use.

Avoiding the Primary.

Des Moincs Ga.) Register and
 Four years ago Mr. Roosevelt was the cham pion of the direct prcsiden- tial primary. At Carnegie hall, New York city, March 20, 1912, he dc clared, "The great fundamental iS~ sue now before the republican party and before the people can be stated briefly. It is: Are the American people fit to govern themselves, to rule themselves, to control them selves? I believe they are. My op ponents do not"
 In his "Confession of faith" put forth as formal acceptance of the progressive nomination, the following August he said: "I found if I could appeal to the rank and file of the republican voters, 1 could generally win, whereas, if I had to appeal 70 the political caste-whiCh includes the most noisy defenders of the old sNstem-L generally lost. Moreover, I found matter of fact. not as a matter of theory that there politi- clans habitually and unhesita tingIv resort to every species Of mean swindlng and cheating in order to carry their pOint.'
 It is no reflection on Mr. Roosevelt 10 say so. but he knows it and every body knows it, that his own name and the names Of other mon today arc being kept off the ballot in tho primary election states and delih- crate plan has been formed to dis credit the primary election vote and to declare the primary election iI- struction to delegates of ne signifi- canoe.

< PAPER FAMINE AHEAD.

When the average American citi
 dinary pile of old rags and waste
 paper he places thereon little or no
 commercial value. Yet those who
 know the intrinsic value of these
 seemingly good for nothing articles of
 discard can readily sec the wealth en- bodied in such things. And just at the present time the problem of say ing old ra csland waste paper is loom ing up as gigantic proposition. Secretary of Commerce Redfeld has advised the people of the nation to evince a,saving in 'this regard so that the price of paper'may be kept down will be no shortage of this modern day necessity The trouble comes from the fact that the people of Amer ica destroy old rags and waste paper cial interests have to import these articles from abroad. This wilfull waste on the !part of Americans has been brought to light only in these later days of the European war when much of the material from abroad has been held up in one way or another. Figures at the Department of Com- merce show that every .day of the year there are more than fifteen thou sand tons of paper consumed in the United States The prices are ever soaring and if things go as they have been going there will be a dearth of this material. This is the time then to conserve old rags and waste. paper that can be made over into new goods.
