WILL Be THREE MONTHS
OF STRENUOUS WORK
HIGH COST OF LIVING, PREPAR-
EDNESS PROGRAM, RAILROAD
LAWS AND OTHER ISSUES OF
GRAVE IMPORTANCE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Congress
was reconvened for three-months
session with the calendar overcrowd-
ed with general legislation and fac
ing railroad reforms and the high
cost of living as new issues. 1t is also
confronted with unprecedented es-
Inmates aggregating ,654,819,6 ,654,
to meet the expenditures of the gov
ernment for the fiscal year of 1918.
Both houses adjourned early as a
mark of respect for the late Senator
Clarke of Arkansas and Resident
Commissioners Rivera for Porto Rico,
both of whom died since the Septem-
ber adjournment
Tomorrow there will be joint ses-
sion in the hall of the house to hear
the address of President Wilson,
which will contain legislation sought
by the Sixty-fourth congress. 1t is
generally expected that the president
will urge railroad legislation to sup
plant the Adamson act.
The lawyers of both houses will
endeavor to expedite the work and
frequent conferences to plan pro-
gram will be held as soon as the pres
ident indicates his desires. The high
cost of living legislation is expected
to be among the most important to
come up. An investigation of re-
cent election expenses will be inves-
tigated.
The high cost of living and what
steps the government can take to
control the situation have assumed
the proportions of a national ques-
tion with the convening of congress.
1t overshadowed all the other issues
OF the first days proceedings. Presi-
dent Wilson will probably deal with
the situation in special message
to congress. Eleven bills and res
olutions seeking TO check the soar
ing food prices will be introduced in
the house. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, and a committee of labor
leaders called on the president and
asked the appointment of a special
committee to investigate the food
question The president assured
them that the government would
take some steps.
Senator Borah has announced he
has prepared bill to repeal the act
federalizing the national guard.
1.-The liberalization of the national
guard has demonstrated its failure
by the Mexican situation" he said.
1T is useless to attempt universal
military training SO long as the pres
ent militia law remains on the stat
ute books"

THE BETTER THING

1t is better to lose with conscience

Than win by a trick unfair;
1t is better TO fall and to know you've
been
Whatever the prize was, square.
Than to claim the JOY OF a far-off
And the cheers of the standers- by,
And to know down deep In your in
most sould
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the
prize.
And at first he may think II sweet
But many a day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat
For the man who lost shall be glad a.

And walk with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he mus

OF cheat and living lie.
The prize seems fair when the ngh
But save it is only won
You will hate the thing when thu

For 1t stands for false deed done
And it's better you never should

Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing down il

That your glory is all lie.

Russians Save Bucharest.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 4.-The time
ly arrival of the Russians at Buch-
Arrest, when the loss of the capital
seemed almost certain, has somewhat
changed the Rumanian situation, ac-
cording to military critics. The Ru-
manians have a fighting chance to
retain their capital. The Russian
pressure in the Carpathians has les
sened the tesion at Bucharest, 1t is
said. The German plan of encircl-
ing the capital was perilously near
to success when the Russians arriv-
ed and blocked their campaign.

Belgians. as saying that Germany did
not give assurances that no Belgians
would be removed. He declared that
"clandestine emigration OF large
numbers of young men wishing to
join the Belgian army" justified the
action. He asserted the employment
of Belgians in Germany was for the
social and economic good of Bel
GUM. He charged that England's
blockade policy bore heavily on Bel
GUM. bringing public calamity to
that country"

President Wilson was arrested at a
railroad station here today by the
police and sent to hospital for OBJ
servation. He attracted attention by
walking about muttering and carry
ing kitchen knife. He said his
name was Jonathan Kraus and that
ne was 1876 years old and had no
home. He wore three coats, but no
nat. The police said he is in an un-
balance condition, aggravated by
drink. He made threats TO kill the
president and also mentioned the
names of Morgan and Rockefeller,
the police said. President Wilson,
on his way to New York, passed
through Philadelphia some distance
from where the man was arrested.

tion the California returns were An

figures are but few votes different

The declaration recently printed in
the Rhenish and Westphalian Gazette
TO the effect that What the victor
gets he holds" and that whoever
wants Belgium may fetch It from
u.s." promises war for an indefinite
period. This paper is assumed to
speak for the industrial magnates of
Germany. 1t promises that the Ger
man armies Will force their way
westward to the sea, and will capt
ure London instead of Moscow, be-
cause the job can be done with tor
pedoes whereas 1t will cost blood to
take Moscow. If the large manufact-
urers have now gained a preponder-
ance of influence in Germany, and
are determined to crush all resistance
the world may as well settle down to
two or three years more of struggle.
The terms on which this German
paper proposes peace are of course
impossible.

Newspaper men who are In the
habit of finding fault, and not able
to find much of anything else, are
disposed to take Judge Hughes to
task for not congratulating his sue
cessful opponent at an earlier date
than the one he selected for that
purpose. Such criticism Is unwar-
ranted. There was no call for he's
in the matter. AS long as there re-
mained the faintest shadow of doubt

wisely in giving himself the benefit
of that doubt, and postponing his

A delicate situation is created in
Austria Hungary by the necessity of
calling parliament together in order
that Charles |, the new monarch
may take the oath to uphold the con-
stitution in the form prescribed by
law. When the war began Franz
Joseph did away with the meetings
of the parliament To bring the
bodies together now would involve
some risk. as nobody knows what
the representatives of the people
would want to do if they were given
an opportunity to express themselves.
The government is now frankly a
military despotism which has virtu-
ally surrendered its sovereignty to
Germany. No doubt it will be con-
tinued on that basis until the COM
ing OF peace. If session of par
lament is called 1t will probably be
strictly confined to the one job OF
seating the new emperor so safely
on his throne that no question of his
Legitimacy can be raised in the tu-
mults that are quite certain to arise

A QUESTION AND ITS ANSWER

Is there no balm in Gilead,
Is life all insincerities,
Must hearts forever ache and bleed
Is there no love-no charity,
Are all the ways predestined ones.
Each filled with loss and fierce de-
spair,
Is there no peace when day is done
Does vice run rampant everywhere?
There's balm in Gilead for you,
Abandon narrowing memories,
There's hope for all, the false, the
true,
Look for all good, and good you'll
see.
The gift of life is rare-divine;
The best of JOY is in the task,
Work Is the best of anodynes,
And God gives ALL to those who
ASK.

rOtests Against Deportations.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-England has
issued a proclamation protesting
to the world against the slave raids
on Belgium by Germany. 1t declares
the relief work of neutral countries

Why?

The Rpublican party has failed to
oust from control in Washington an
administration which has discredited
American citizenship, softened
American fibre, and enacted laws
threatened the permanency of Re-
publican institutions.
Why?
Because the conduct of the cam
paign have subordinated party prin-
eiples to personalities.
Because the conduct of thecam-
paign was taken out of the hands
of the Republican National Commit
tee where it belonged and placed in
commission, with a geoup of mex
perienced men outside the Commit
tee, who acknowledged allegiance
primarily to individuals rather than
to the party and its policies.
Because this group of well-inten-
toned individuals ignored the funda-
mental principle OF all successful
political warfare-organiz
Because the campaign in the west
ern territory was muddled by young
Mr. Hitchcock, who is entirely ignor-
ant of political currents and who
without interference from the hand
picked chairman of the committee,
spent his time building up a little
machine of his own by the promise
of petty patronage and the distribu-
tion of party funds, attacking recog-
nized party leaders. sowing discord
in debatable states where complete
harmony was essential to party sue
cess.
The Republican party must get to-
gether and lose no time about II!

Like Grover Cleveland after 1888,
Charles E. Hughes hangs out bis
shingle as lawyer, having lost bis
wager of supreme justiceship
against the presidency. 1t is one of
the reasons for the prevalence of
lawyers in politics that they so east
ly drop back into their profession
when politics deals them its newt
able kick. Physicians can't do II.
Once out, always out with them as
a rule. Business men can do 1t only
by keeping finger on business while
in politics. in which case either pcli-
ties or the business usually suffers.
But Mr.. Hughes will from the day
of his rturn to law practice earn two
or three times his salary as a su-
preme justice and so be above phys
ical want, however it may be gith
his mental cravings.

rejection of the protocol for the
withdrawal of American forces. ad-
ministration officials are giving
much attention to every report re-
lating to the activities of villa and
other rebel movements. They frank
