Politicians Learn to Advertise.

The hide-bound. thick-and-thin, evcrlawsting-
to-everlawsting party organ seems to be doomed.
The late campaign demonstrated that beyond
question Newspapers supporting Wilson printed
many Hughes advertisements while the Hughes
papers ran columns OF paid matter boosting Will
Never before the power of newspaper
advertising generously and widely recog-
nized, according to Newspaperdom. n is safe to
say that more people read the political advertise
ments, skillfully displayed by experts, than read
the candidates speeches, set forth in plain news
shape. The question of newspaper ethics came up
frequently during the campaign, and many readers
wanted to know why the advertisements of the
opposing party were printed. The New York
World expressed the opinion that it altogether
ethical for it to print the Hughes advertisements,
although heartily supporting Wilson, saying:
"Thc World has right to refuse to
print these advertisements than it has to refuse
to print the speeches made by Mr.. Hughes. We
have our own opinion OF the Hughes speeches and
likewise Of the Hughes advertisements and we
shall continue to discuss them with searching
frankness; but print them must They a
part of the record of the campaign"
Some idea of the large expenditure made by
both political parties may be had from the fact
that in New York City alone, the Republicans and
Democrats spent little 100000 in seven
days in newspaper advertising. So thoroughly i'm
bued the managers of both parties with the
idea of newspaper advertising that foreign lang
uage newspapers throughout the country were used
extensively. Louis NJ. Hammerling, of the
American Association of Foregn-Language News
papers. signed up contracts amounting to 100000
for his foreign-tongue dailies. This amount does
not include the advertising going into the news
papers by foreign-language members of his asso-
citation. 1t is roughly estimated that the Republic
ans spent fully 100000 in newspaper space and
that the Democrats spent close to $5ooooo

The Short Sessi on Of Congress.

Speaker Champ Clark, Chairman Fitzgerald of
the House Appropriations Committee, and other
Democratic leaders, now are at the Capitol to
arrange preliminaries for the short session of the
Sixty-fourth Congress, which expires March a,
and with his customary blunt logic the Speaker
advises his party to attempt elaborate legisla-
tive program during the next three months
The possibility of Republican majority in the
Sixty-hfth Congress may prove too much for
chance for pet legislation while working with a
minority faction but the Speakers advice is sound
and should be needed.
Now that the election is over and men of all
political faiths look at the record of the last
session with impartial eyes, it may be noted that
much of the legislation rushed through in the
closing days of Congress might have been better
had it been more fully debated and more carefully
thought out
The big supply bills will occupy much of the
time of the next session. They are of such mag
ntude that they cannot be rushed through with
out careful scrutiny and full discussion This will
leave but few legislative days for preferential leg
islation or bills that will take precedence on the
calendar through being sdetracked at the last ses
sion. With such condition, the chance for new
legislation which will develop debate along par
tisan lines is not over bright with every chance
for developing a ilibuster if it is attempted
Speaker Clark believes that the customary two
weeks Christmas vacation should be foregone for
recess of two or three days. Men who have
been working only two weeks do not require two
weeks vacation he says, and the point appears
to be we'll taken.
Let Congress get down to real business. Give
the District appropriation bill and other compel
ling measures the attention they deserve and if
it is necessary to get new legislation before the
opening OF the Sixty fifth Congress in December
1917, have an extra session. The District would
welcome it, and the members of Congress would
not be overworked by attendance until the hot
weather makes adjournment convenient and COM
Portable.

The appeal for the suffering people Of Europe
which President Wilson has voiced in his Thanks
giving Proclamation will be hard to ignore. The
President bids us, in the warm comfort of our
homes, happy and content and hopeful, to pause
and think OF those the other side of the At
lantic who suffering and starving and dying.
He says: And l also urge and suggest our duty
in this day OF peace and abundance to think
in deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and terror of war
has so pitilcssly fallen, and to contribute out OF
our abundant means to the relief of their suffer-
ing Our people could in better way show
their real attitude toward the present struggle
OF the nations by contributing out OF their abund-
ance to the relief OF the suffering which war has
brought in its train" So strong appeal coming
from so high source cannot but swell the stream
OF relief funds constantly flowing from the purses
OF the American people.

today to perceive that the fate that overlook the

The British admiralty has made public a re-

marines have sunk thirty-three vessels without
warning. AS result I4o lives have been lost
These figures may be accepted as true in view of
the TACT that the British admiralty, with few
exceptions, has clung to the truth in its official
statements since the beginning of the If the
figures are true, they may be accepted as proof
that Germany's ruthless warfare" by U-boats
again is in full swing. The continuation of such
warfare, even though Germany tries to conduct it
in accordance with her pledges to the United
