AT noon tomorrow the Speaker OF the

Senate will rap TO order their respective

which will terminate by constitutional
limitation at noon March 4.
Short sessions of Congress are seldom
productive of legislation of importance
beyond the passage OF the appropriation
bills. but this one may prove an eXcep-
ton. If so. it will be due mainly to the
fact that President Wilson's legislative
program is not finished and to the further
consideration that if it is not completed

pendulum to one side or the other.
The succeeding Congress. therefore. is
certain to be very close and the Presi-
dents hold upon it less secure. his infiu-
ance less potent. The administration sup
tiers in the House consequently are in
cnned to put through at this session as
much legislation demanded by the Presi-
