be expected as the outcome would or
will be the creation of an investigation
commission. The subject is serious,
indeed; but it is one on which Congress
cannot really afford to break loose if
the work demanded of this session is to
be done.
That work is the passage of adequate
labor legislation to relieve and stabilize
the railroad situation. 1t is no small
matter to thresh out and enact a COM
pulsory arbitration law. But one must
be passed; and if Congress is to keep
its faith with the President and suffer
the President to keep his faith with the
country, it must be passed at this ses-
sion. 1t is no small matter so to re-
wise the interstate commerce statutes
as to relieve the railroads of the handi-
cap of working under a heterogeneous
system of independent regulatory
bodies, and reduce the principle of
Government control to a practical basis
of uniformity. 1t is no small matter to
shift from policy of punitive reguIa-
ton to one of constructive regulation.
1t is no small matter so to legislate that
without encroaching upon the rights of
the public railroad credit can be enhanc-
ed and firmly established. These things
must be done. The President has
promised solemnly that most of them
would be done; the promise of the re-
mainder rests upon Congress obvious
obligation to meet the country's press
ing legislative needs.
The period of industrial activity
through which we are passing has
already demonstrated the inadequacy
of railroad capital. railroad equipment
and railroad regulation to meet the
strain. 1t has disclosed the utter crude
ness OF conditions gradually established
by the course of experimental, SEMI
constructive and semi-populistic legisla-
ton under which we have labored. 1t
may be too much to hope that in this
short session all that crudeness can be
worked out of the regulatory system.
But the public is at last in a frame of
mind to have Congress meet the rail-
roads necessities with sincerity and
frankness. The very passage of the
Adamson law did wonders toward
creating the right atmosphere. Con
gress is looked to to show appreciation
of the public desire during this session.
If it is to do so, it can afford to waste
little time in talk. Mondays Baltl.

HAS A SECOND SMASH
Former Sheriff Shartzer Again
Mixes Up With His Ford.

Former Sheriff Andrew Shartzer
holds the belt for miX-ups between him
self and his Ford, but fortunately none
of the accidents were of a serious ma
ture except the last one which took
place near the Browning water trough
six or seven miles north of town on
last Friday evening as he was returning
from Uniontown, Pa, in company with
Mr.. H. l.. Miller, and Lloyd Shartzer,
the son of the Sheriff, when the car
failed to respond to the steering gear
and running up a roadside bank fell
backwards and pinned both men be-
meath the overturned car. Mr.. Miller
freed himself and lifted the car from
off Mr.. Shartzer, while the boy who was
riding IN the rear escaped with slight
cut in his forehead.
Mr.. Miller was considerably bruised
as result of the mishap, while Mr..
Shartzer was not quite so lucky, the
latter suffering painful injuries to
his back and legs, being still confined to
his bed.

In view of the fact that many requests
have been made that the play be re-

THE SHORT SESSION

Congress meets today for a session
ordinarily devoted to the passage of ap-
preparation bills and hardly long enough
for that. There is always some little
overflow of energy at these short ses-
sions, however. The stereotyped re-
minder with which they open is that
besides the appropriation bills consid-
cradle important legislation hanging
over from the last session must be
given its final touches and passed, not
ably the conservation measures.
1t is well, then, not to set too high the
mark of anticipation as to what can be
accomplished between now and March
4. And yet Congress has rarely met
for the short session with such serious
problems before 1t as it now faces.
The question is whether it will at
once set about the settlement of an Is
sue which is far too big for any Con-
gress to settle but alsointensely popular
the high cost of living-or devote all
the time and energy that can be spared
from the process of enacting necessary
routine bills to the completion oflegisla-
ton the enacted fragment of which,
standing alone, is blot on the history
of;Congress.
We venture the belief that no Con-
gresham is landing in Washington to-
day with well-defned, practical ideas as
to how to lower food prices. The mat
ter is bound to come up; the one small
phase of it represented by the en-
barge proposition is alone sufficient to
invite endless talk and therefore end
less waste of time. The guess is
reasonable that the very most that can

GOOD FOR THE WOMEN.

That was glorious triumph for the
American housewife last week when,
through well-directed boycott, the
gougers and spectators were brought
to terms. The first honor belongs to
the women of New York, who made
eggs drug on the market by absolutely
refusing to buy them. Those rapacious
spectators who were determined to
rifle the pockets of consumers by a
daily boost in the price ofeggs met their
Waterloo. One egg dealer confessed
that he had lost thousands of dollars
through the boycott, Eggs had gone
as high as 76 cents dozen in some
parts of New York city, but by We'd
nesday evening the price had sunk to
80 cents and was still tumbling.
And III Baltimore good work was done
too. Poultry dealers had planned g
holdup in turkey on the eve of Thanks
giving Day. Many sensible house
wives hundreds of them-det 4rmined
to teach them lesson. They refused
to buy turkeys. They blandly passed
the poultry stands by and patronlzed
the other meat dealers. The turkey
men began the week by quoting their
poultry at 80 cents a pound, On Tues
day there was keen disappointment on
the faces Of many of them-they were
not selling many turkeys. Wednesday
there was no longer disappointment,
but panic. They began to reduce their
prices, but there were no buyers; that
is, not in great volume. Toward eve
ming they were asking the people tc
buy turkey at 20 cents pound, with
comparatively few takers. That was a
fine achievement. The women should
keep it up. Nothing like cooperation
and tirmness to beat down the out
rageous demand of the gougers.
There has never been an excuse for
the extraordinary high price of food
stuffs, except the Unsuitable rapacity
of the spectators. The government
does nothing to protect the public from
being a prey to these food vutures, anC
the people must take things IN their
own hands. Baltimore Star.
