CONGRESS AT IT AGAIN.

The week that lies just ahead Of us is full of
important events and perhaps the most important
of all Of these is the re-convening for the short
session of the congress which ended its labors
temporarily early last September, and the delivery
Of the presidents message.
Congressional sessions always Of great i'm
portance to us, but this one, it seems to us, is
doubly important not only because Of the weighty
problems before it for decision but chiefly be-
cause it follows so closely upon the presidential
election when the temper of the people of our
country was writ large and bold. Many of the
questions which will confront the coming congress
were argued and discussed in the recent cam
paign, the pros and cons were advocated from
one end Of the country to the other, and the
people passed their verdict.
The work of this short session will therefore be
measured most naturally in the light Of that cleo
ton. 1t will be worth watching.

A gigantic scheme to reclaim
| 10000 acres of the arid lands in the
Yakima valley and close to the line
of the Northern Pacific railroad has
been put in active operation. The
project is to construct canal 60
miles long, including branches,
through which the water will be sup
piled by the Yakima river. Seven
teen miles of canal are already COM
plete. The cost of constructing the
inland waterway is placed at
100000.

MIR. HUGHES CONGRATULATIONS

Speaking editorially on the hardness with
which Mr.. Hughes extended his congratulations
to President Wilson, whole two weeks after
everybody else had done so, remember-the New
York World says:
ellis course since election has been wholly
consistent with his course before election Mr..
Hughes made himself the attorney for the Re-
publican party during the campaign, and he has
remained the attorney for the Republican party.
A lawyer must look after the interests of his
client He must concede nothing, yield nothing.
He must be guided only by legal evidence.
''There are disadvantages in the application of
the legal rules Of evidence to such situation as
this, and defeated candidate who follows that
course is likely to be misunderstood but Mr..
Hughes Is essentially lawyer, and we have had
no doubt that when he was in the possession Of
evidence such as a court would accept in the trial
of case, his congratulations to the President
would have as much warmth and generosity as
these circumstances would permit.

REALLY AND TRULY THANKFUL

Far more than perfunctory are our reasons for
thanksgiving this year, our reasons as nation
as state. city and individuals, but those reasons
are stated so well in the prOclamatOns of Dresl-
dent and the governor that elaboration OF them
is unnecessary.
1t is sufficient to say that our reasons for being
really and truly thankful are many and they are
sincere based on substantial evidences of our
own elbeing, born of the knowledge of our
most happy position in world at war and nur-
tured by rising tide of material prosperity -
reasons that occur to us if we look only upon the
one phase of our present-day situation.
Let us therefore give thanks we should,
honestly earnestly, gratefully.

There is much to commend in the contention of
Wilbur w. Marsh, treasurer of the national Dem
ocratic campaign committee, that no person
should be allowed to contribute more than 1000
to political campaign fund, says Christian Sci
ence Monitor suggesting that an Improvement
on this. however. would be positive prohibition OF
all political campaign fund contributions. AS
way out of the present system, the Monitor be-
lieves the national government should establish
a non partisan federal election board which would
meet all Legitimate and reasonable election ex
penses. In the face of facts that must be appar-
ent to every intelligent observer, the method now
in vogue of reporting the private campaign ex-
penses of parties and of individuals is farcical.

WOULD FLY TO NORTH POLE.
Capt. Amundsen, Norwegian Elk.
plOrer. Has New Ambition.

To soar over the north pole in a
hydro-aeroplane is the ambition of
Road Amundsen, the Norwegian ex-
plorer, who a few years ago attained
the south pole. Capt. Amundsen ar
rived at New York this week from
Copenhagen to purchase two hydro
aeroplanes for that purpose.
Starting in the summer of 1918,
he said he expects to be in the Far
North for two to five years. The
main object Of his flight, Capt.
Amundsen declared, would be to
study the air currents around the
pole.

all, is less than four bits apiece for each one Of

If he is doing mental work his
