HOUSE IN DANGER

It will be admitted even by Republicans that it will prove a very unfortunate thing if the Democrats have not control of the National House of Rep resentatiyes. With the President and clear major ity Of l2 or 14 in the Senate u would not be con ducye to efficient government it the House Of Rep resentatyes should be found to be in the opposition is better usually for the party in power to have small rather than an uuwiedy majority. but it needs a majority in order to have the organization and committee control necessary to facilitate the pas sage of administration measures. The fact that the President has always been able to draw on the Republicans for enough support to give his proposals safe majories in Congress does not relieve the sit uation. If the House is organized against the Ad-
 linstratiou there are many ways that its measures may be ,h-o,ticd. Let nope that befcre Congress meets in December 1917 the independents and enough of the Progressives will cooperate to organize the House in a manner that will give us efficiency in the government business.

THE LoT OF THE NEUTRAL
lSt Ionls Rennbllcl

Great Britain is about to take further drastic measures in the control of her mercantile marine London in so doing admits that the steady losses from submarine activity are having not a serious effect much that England win feel this in her marine, but it will effect Great Brtains endeayors to main tain something approaching normal conditions m the worlds trade
 The neutrals will feel these restrictions first. Neutral shipping is suffering heavily from the sub that must bear the first effects of Allied efforts at selfpreseryation. American trade will necessarily be affected Allied tonnage. whether English, French, Italian. Russian or Japanese will take care of the needs of Allied nations first neutrals, including Ameri- ca will get the use Of whatever surplus there may be left Not that this will affect the trade with Eur ope. for Europe needs our exports and the Atlantic trade issues will not be deserted. However English steamer lanes will not be deserted. However Eng fish steamer lines and English tramps now plying between American and Pan-Amercan ports may find themselves unable Co carry much American tonnage.
 All of which makes the recent shipping bill a significant piece of legislation and brings home once more American deficiencies in the matter of mer- chant marine.

THE SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
est. Louis Republic)

(oL LOUIS RepuDuC)
 Every American citizen ought to do his share of thinking and talking about the right of American citizens to engage in a general sympathetic strike now under discussion in New York City
 The right to strike "sympathetically" means just this: That employer. of labor may safeguard the stability Of his relations with his men by fairness. integrity kindliness. justice by scrupulous keeping Of his word and crupulous to share his own prosperity with his working force No matter what he does or how he does it the sympathetic strike may at a stroke suspend the operation of his business and threaten him with loss and ruin
 The only thing that holds democratic society together-that is. society of free men, who are not coerced by external authorty-is the fact that in t our welfare depends our conduct By acting rightly we may get on well Destroy this connection between welldoing and prosperity and you destroy the very thing on which whole social fabric is built. The sympathetic strike, which proposes destroy the pos sbility of employers insuring the stability of his relations by just fair and liberal treatment, would substitute force for fairness in industry and so lead inevitably to despotsm instead of democracy in so cety Every American should fight the movement with his full strength.

MUNICIPAL DANCES AND CONCERTS
(St. Louis Republic)


 If St Louis a boastfu city town stuffed with pride and given to brazenly sounding forth it's own good works the country would be more famil- jar with one of the greatest of all municipal systems in America Possibly St. LOusans themselves would have a keener appreciation of what they have done in this if it had been morea widely trumpeted Citizens of other municipalities interested in munich pal recreation and more efficient use of the public parks are amazed when they glimpse what St Louis has done
 And well they may be A recent report by the Park Commissioner shows that St. Lousans have made about 3.5OoOoO visits to public playgrounds, swimming pools dances. concerts and other munich pal activities since April l. When the report was made on September 15 total Of 162L51S children had visited the playgrounds; dancers to the number Of 75300 had attended the public dances and the at tendance at city band concerts had run far above the half million mark Nearly half million St: Lousans had dipped and plunged in the municipal pools Baseball. tennis and golf have all shown tre- mendous. and growing popularity during the summer
 This is a big work and it is being done in a big way It seems a long way back to those municipal dark ages when the parks of st. Louis were studded with "Keepoff-theGrass' signs and their green acres fenced by spiked iron palisades.

SHADE OF SEWARD

We have wet and dry question One can imagine Seward walking on the banks of the StyX and meeting the yenerated "Soapy" smith What would they say to each other? Let us suppose that Fenelon in the other world wrote additional chapters tO Dialogues des MortS" and what would be put into the conversation between the who bought Alaska and the man who became most famous of it's residents Rex Beach or Wick or Strong or Krause or Spence or Banjo Bill Jack London not else excepted. Seward and Soapy Smith would probably
 first ask each other how the cleo ton is going and
 like all the rest of the Territory ;hey would probably be divided between Sulzer and the Honorable James Which of the candidates would the immortal Soapy vote for? This might be difficult to answer. but perhaps. one need not be Sherlock Holmes to de- eide how Soapy would certain other Ques tiOn But thoughts like these are only useful Co d- rect the mind to the changes which have occurred in the Territory Of Alaska since Seward lived and Soapy died

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

A man, travelling into remote
parts of this country, found that
he was many miles away from
home at dark, and decided that it
would be best for him to seek
lodging at some one Of the farm
er's homes for the night. SO, &C
cordingly, he drove up to one OF
the gates of habitation Of prom
Using aspect and gave q loud hal
low, which was answered by the
farmer who, after hearing his re
quest for lodging and supper for
himself and q feed for his team,
agreed that these things should
be given him and he was invited
to enter.
Shortly after his arrival the
good housewife announced that
che would 90 and prepare supper.
Time passed and every now and
then the traveller could hear the
woman open the stove door and
place more wood In the fire box
and slam the door too. 80 long q
time went by that he began to i'm
agine he could almost taste the
deliciously fried chicken, hot bis
cults and the enumorablo good
things one expects to find upon the
thrifty farmers table. Minutes
passed into half hours, the half
hours into hours, when the an
nouncement that, "Supper Ia
ready was made.
The traveller, who by this time,
was not alone tired, but sleepy
and decidedly cross from hunger,
was invited out to supper where
he found awaiting him q large
dish Of beets, and nothing but
beets. His hasty conclusion was,
"these people are set Of "dead
