Washington, March 4.-Congress Is
because the European war
and the controversies growing out OF
1t is blanketing domestic affairs. Sena-
tors and representatives feel 1t is i'm
spossible under the circumstances to get
domestic questions considered which
ordinarily would attract much notice.
/. They aver that II q man makes
speech at the capitol nowadays it has
to be highly spiced with international
fiavors or no one waits to listen to 1t.
They say that not only will their col
leagues pay little attention to ordinary
things but that they apprehend their
constituents are of much the same
mind. d., - 81
This Is not a pleasant condition for
q member who is ambitious to let MS
folks at home know he is the right
parsonage to represent them for an
other term in Washington. But it is
a condition, nevertheless, that exists

Now, with lean revenues. word mas

buildings. Even when congress does
authorize a new building the treasury
in It's discretion may not build it ex-
cusing. Itself on the ground 1t doesn
have the money. AS for large numbers
of private bills, they have hard sled
ding. Congress finds it hard to digest

pabulum composed of references to
great world affairs. e.
Not only is the clouded International
situation making it troublesome for the
little pet projects OF members at both
ends of the capitol, but it is resulting
In an astonishing lack Of sharp inter-
est In congress in bills Of far-reaching
domestic moment. The result is that
at the end OF this season there viii be
a. long list of important bills left to
fan. by the wayside. .. 81. 49,
Congress- for instance, is. showing
no great amount of concern about the
shipping bill about the proposed In
vestisation Of the railroads, about con-
servarion, about the good roads ques-
ton, about child labor. or about NUM-
erous other legislative problems OF
first class importance. Rural credits is
getting surprisingly little attention
from the great body Of the members
When matters Of this kind are pressed
for consideration it is because Of the
enthusiasm Of a small group. The
opinion is freely voiced about congress
that while the war lasts there will be
a sort of feverish interest in every
thing which has large international
bearing and little concern about prob
lens which do not.

AS has often been the case during
the present summer, no cases ap-
peared on the docket of the Police
Court this morning. a man had APP

against another whom he charged
with maintaining a nuisance upon his
premises, but the warrant was re-

rot the fault. Of the alleged delin-

Most of the cases investigated re-
Gently were Of parties charged with
the infraction of traffic or health
laws, failing to secure licenses on
dogs, etc, and few cases of dis
order have been reported during the
summer.
Such conditions show that the mem
bers of the police force are on the
alert and would-bc law-breakers take
due notice and act accordingly.
Generally the authorities are kept
more busy in summer than in winter
as during the warm weather people
disposed to ba refractory scatter
over a large, area; hence there is
more likelihood of friction. In cold
weather such huddle together. and
there is less disposition to break
the peace in houses than in the open
where there are greater chances OF
escaping the officers.
During the present summer, how
ever, conditions have been more
serene than formerly. The police
; have made it uncomfortable for The
incident, and several time-killers
have been ARA gncd in court. II
some cases such stragg!ers in The

have been released when they salts
