Vacant Lot Farming.

s0SoAk A>Ot L a. 404Oks
At meeting Of tho Mid City Citi.
zens Association last night the sugges-
tion was advanced that steps be taken
toward the encouragement Of vacant lot
gardening in Washington az means of
lowering the cost of living in these days
Of e1tortionate prices. This Is a prac-
tical move which should be taken under
definite consideration this winter for &C.
tive work in the spring. 1t Is by no
means a new plan, for it has been tried
in other cities, with varying success, and
some years ago was undertaken here,
though not extensively or systematically.
In Detroit It was once made the subject
Of a vigorous campaign by Mayor Pin.
gree, whose "potato patches" became
known throughout the country. Much
good was accomplished by that Detroit
work. the poor people Of the city raising
garden crops Of large value ana ma.

England, at least before the war. tho
small garden plots on tho outskirts Of
the towns have for some years been
sources Of revenue to great numbers Of
people and from this source alone tho

The Next Congress.

The latest estimates of the next Con-
gress, whether democratic or republican,
are conservative. A large majority IS
not expected by either side. Even those
democrats who express confidence IN
their party's ability to hold the Senate
offer figures of moderate size as to the
House. Earlier figures of the repubi-
cans seem to have been revised, both as
to Senate and House. Claims of Senate
control are fewer, while those as to the
House do not go higher than a majority
of twenty.
As the next Congress will have to deal
with a number of very important mat
tiers now in view. not to mention others
which may grow out of the present gen.
by a narrow margin should work to the
good of the country. No matter which
party controls, teamwork will be alb
solutely necessary. No pranking, no ex-
periments with fads; will be in order.
A popular calculation is that contin-
ued democratic control will mean con-
tinued obedience of the legislative to
the executive branch of the government.
But if the majority is small, the execu-
tive will have to poll every vote for the
measures he presses. A detection would
halt him.
Speculation about Mr.. Hughes as
President is based upon his course in
the governorship of New York. As an
executive at Albany he made himself the
leader of his party, and urged meas
ures on the legislature with much
earnestness The reforms effected dur
ing his stay in Office were largely his.
Still, he did not become known rs the
master of the legislature.
If he enters the White House we shall
probably see him urge measures on Con-
gress in this same way. He will have
a program, and want it carried out.
But, confronting small republican ma
jority in Congress, he would have to take
it fully into his confidence and provide
for teamwork. A detection would halt
him.
But more difficult situation will arise
if the democrats keep the presidency and
the Senate and lose the House, or the
republicans win the presidency and the
House and fail to win the Senate. In
either event negotiations about every
thing Of value will have to be conducted
and compromises effected with rare skill
if anything is secured. Progress along
some lines will have to be made. Com
ditions will be such that marking time
would entail heavy loss.
The fight for Congress, therefore, is
a fight indeed; and those on either side
in charge Of that feature Of the cam
paign are probably among the busiest
men now in action.

Closing in on Rumania.

Gen. Mackensen's success in pushing
the Rumanian line beyond Constanza is
q serious blow to the Rumanian cause,
inaamuch as it gives the Teutons pos
session Of the only port on the Black
sea within the territory of King Ferdi-
nand It also gives them possession of
the railway from Constanza through
Cernavoda to Bucharest, and thus seri.
ously interrupts the Rumanian commu-
nications. This has been the object Of
the drive through the Dobrudja, which,
at first advancing rapidly, was then
halted for considerable period and,
almost simultaneously with the check of
tho Teutonic armies in Transylvania, re-
sumed with redoubled energy. This lat
est advance has been accomplished in
four days, and now Rumania is In peril
Of a Simultaneous pressure on both
northern and southern fronts with only
an outlet to the north into Russia.
Word has come from time to time dur
Ing the Rumanian campaign Of the arrival
Of Russian reinforcements, but in what
number has never been disclosed. It
was expected as soon as Rumania de-
clared war that Russia would pour her
troops over the border, not merely for
the sake Of aiding the smaller state, but
TO begin operations on the southern
front in drive toward Constantinople,
the way to which had been closed by
Rumania's neutrality As events have
developed, the Russian reinforcements
have been inadequate, even to hold the
advancing Teuton- -Bulgar line, and now
Constanza, which would have been Of
great value as q port Of entry In case
Of q large Russian movement against
ConstantinopIe from the north, has been
seized.

question of Rumania's fate. VIII she
